1006 Words
"What?! You already found a wife to be?" my father asked.
I nodded.
"Who and where did you met her?" he asked.
I shrug my shoulder.
"I feel bad for her and she really needs money so I curled up and have an agreement with her. Like dad, she needs to sacrifice for her mother." I spoke.
My father sighed but later on, he pats my shoulder.
"That's good job then but make sure to make your wife's relationship with you so surreal for the lawyer and your cousin not to think of things." he spoke.
I nodded.
"Yes dad, believe me. This is going to be nice and I know you're going to like her." I reassured him.
"I know, but it would be better if it is going to be Shea as your wife." my father says.
I rolled my eyes.
"Dad, how many times do I have to tell you. I don't want her in my life back and you know how much I enjoyed being single without her." I told him.
But my dad just gives me a smirk and smile on his face.
"Son, just think this way. If Shea is going to be your wife, it looks more real rather than some strangers out there." he says.
I don't know what to say anymore to my dad. Everything that I have said is being rejected and more like not accepted.
"My decision is already final. If you really want me to inherit their belongings. I will marry Blaire and I know she's such a nice woman after all." I told him.
My dad shrugs his shoulder. Like he has no choice but to gives me a chance to do what I want to and planning to.
"Fine, then when am I going to meet her?" he asks me.
Now, I feel so relieved.
"You can come with me tomorrow at the hospital." I told him.
His eyes widened.
"For real? To the hospital? Why not asks her for dinner?" he asks.
I don't know if she's going to love it so. But I still need to asks her if she wants to.
"Fine, I'm going to call her." I spoke.
My father nodded. I headed up to my room to call her but her phone might be dead for I couldn't reach her.
"Hello." Finally, she answered.
"Blaire, thanks God you answered." I uttered.
To be honest, I don't want to ask her but I need it to.
"What is it?" she asks.
I sigh deeply.
"Okay, actually. My father wants to meet you. If you want to join us for dinner?" he asks.
I heard her gasped.
"Gosh, is that so? Wait, I'm not yet ready. When are you planning to have some dinner?" she asks.
I can sense that she's going to adhere with me.
"If tomorrow, are you free?" I asked.
I heard her sighed.
"Yes, I am. Do I need to dress impressively?" she asks.
I let out a giggle. I don't know but I feel small happiness from what she just said.
"It's up to you, but it's fine if you just dress simply. Don't worry, my father is not that strict and I know, he's going to like you." I spoke.
"Okay, call me if you need to. Are you going to pick me up? Just pick me up here at the hospital." she says.
"Okay, just make sure to be prepared." I told her.
Finally, she agreed to me. I ran downstairs to talk to my dad and tell him the good news.
"Dad!" I yelled.
My father is busy reading some newspaper.
"Yes? What's the fuss all about? You look tense, my son." he chuckles.
I smiled a bit.
"Dad, she agreed. You're going to meet her tomorrow for our dinner." I told him.
I can see how his lips went curve and smiled.
"Is that so? Wow, I am so excited right now." he says.
Blaire is preparing for their dinner.
"Gosh, I need to look very presentable in front of his father." I feel so bad right now. I don't have any nice clothes to wear.
All I have is just simple dress which mom bought for me three years ago.
"I guess, I have no choice but to try it on." I whispered.
I gasped to see how the dress looks so fit on my figure.
"I think this is better." I muffled, wearing a medium loose dress and just below my knees.
Of course, I don't want to disappoint Axl in front of his father. I know, I might be thinking so much but I need to do this for my mother.
"He already helped me, now. It's my chance to repay him back." I whispered in myself.
I need to do this or else, I don't know where to get that kind of money which he paid for my mother's surgery.
"Mom, I know you're going to wake up sooner and you're going to understand my decisions. Axl, he's not just a billionaire but also a nice man. We just needed to help each other." I kissed my mother's forehead before I will leave her.
"Nurse, can you check on my mother for a while? I'll be back in just an hour." I informed her.
Thanks, that the nurse just nodded.
"Thank you so much." I said to her.
"You're always welcome. And besides, you also need to refresh some time. So, where are you going? You look dressed." she giggles and even pokes me.
I blushed and smiled a bit.
"I'm just going to meet a friend." I mumbled.
But she just mimics me.
"Fine, I'm going to believe you for once. Okay, go now. Maybe you're going to be late for now." she said.
I embraced her and left her. I left her to be in charge of my mother.
I breathe so deep.
"Now, I need to do this. I hope his father is not what am I thinking." I need to think positively.
