I remember she was thinking the conditions of the area weren’t fit enough to offer to him so I was thinking she might try to manage it or something before she tells him
no, she's keeping it secret, she didn't know ML wanted the white mine, as a dowry, she wants to improve the property first she only know it's just an empty territory with no resources
I cant remember! Does he know Olivia has the rights to the white mine at this point in the story??
