Ch 4 - in spite of the fact it's told from his POV (3rd person) I don't see anything positive about Philip. The only things we really know about him is that he's a bad father & wants a wife so he can absolve responsibility & escape to his greenhouse.
Ch 5 - starts with Eloise thinking he might be a good catch because of his looks. In spite of the fact she's turned down 6 perfectly good proposals because - we're not told.
Not looking promising.
