What+would+Esteban+do?

As I was reading about Nicoloas getting Amanda pregnant, I started to wonder how Esteban would have reacted if Amanda did not receive an abortion. When Blanca became pregnant, Esteban was ashamed and furious. I wonder if Esteban would have the same feelings toward the situation with Nicolas and Amanda. Would he have made them get married, or would he not have cared as much becasue Nicolas is a man? Esteban probably would have gotten angry with Nicolas because that is just Esteban's nature. This also could have hurt his political career, but I still don't know if he would have been a little more lenient with Nicolas.user:mto-ia

I could tell that Esteban didn't like Amanda at all. He didn't consider her good enough for Nicolas, and he didn't agree with her radical ideas. He feared what she would bring into his house and did not like his family associating with her. I think he would have reacted differently with her situation than with Blanca's. He knew that marrying Blanca to the Count would both improve the situation and his own status. Marrying Nicolas to Amanda may resolve the situation, but it would hurt his image, which he seemed extremely concerned about. user:ath-ia
