Ben frowned. He thought. "No offense Elijah, but Tobias would marry her because it would actually suit both of them. It's probably not my place to tell you, but... he can't have children. Marrying her and claiming the child would have a benefit for him too, and that would give Alice a better position in the marriage. It would give them a shared interest in the marriage. I've asked you to marry her because you love her and care for her. Not because you lost some bloody bet!" He looked at the constable angrily.
