" Lily is getting married to Lugard's first son" he said again. " Wait you met with Lugard yesterday and you already planned a marriage with his son and Lily?" Theresa asked. " If it's a joke, you better stop it cuz it way too expensive, it's 21st century how can you just decide to marry me off to just anyone without my consent" Lily said angrily.
