“Pablo …”
“Huh? What?”, Pablo Tyler came back to his senses.
“What are you thinking? We have all been calling you, but you did not respond.”, Valda said with a grumpy face.
Pablo Tyler didn’t know how to explain, “I … I was just, sorry I was thinking about something else. Why were you calling me?”.
“Pablo, you are really getting old. You slept while standing. It’s not a good sign”, Dan Miller said to Pablo Tyler.
Pablo Tyler sneered, “ Isn’t it all because of you? My wife and I have to run all the way to the hospital and have to stay awake at this hour. My body is exhausted all thanks to you. ”.
Juliet, who was holding Dan Miller, let him go and walked in front of Pablo Tyler and said anxiously, “ Uncle Pablo, I am really sorry. You had to suffer so much because of dad. And thank you too for going through all this for dad. ”.
Pablo Tyler saw Juliet’s worried expression, his face and tone softened, “ You don’t have to thank me child. Your father in law is my friend. I did it for my friend. ”.
“ Yes, but still thank you Uncle Pablo. ”, Juliet said with a bright smile and wet eyes.
“ Hmm, Mum, you are missing the important point. Aren’t you going to invite Grandpa Pablo ? ”, Bella Miller saw her mother becoming emotional again, so she quickly reminded her about the dinner invite.
“ Invite ? For what ? ”, Pablo Tyler asked in confusion.
“ Oh, right I forget. Uncle Pablo, we would like to invite you and your family to our home for dinner. ”, Juliet said to Pablo Tyler.
“ Dinner ? ”, Pablo Tyler said.
Bella Miller knew her mother would not come to the point soon, so to not waste any time she decided to take the lead. She walked towards them and stood next to Juliet, and said to Pablo Tyler with a bright smile, “ Grandpa Pablo, Hello. I’m Bella. I am the eldest granddaughter of Grandpa Dan and Adam’s eldest sister. ”.
“ Oh, Adam’s eldest sister, huh ? Hello.”, Pablo Tyler took the hint that Bella Miller was trying to give him. It looks like the whole Miller family has already decided to make Rija Tyler part of their family. He looked at Dan Miller directly with sharp eyes.
Bella Miller saw Pablo Tyler looking at Dan Miller unhappily, she understood that he had not agreed to Rija Tyler and Adam Miller’s marriage yet. “ Yes, Grandpa Pablo, I think Grandpa has already talked to you about Rija and Adam. I know things can’t be rushed and you need time to think it properly. But the thing is, we are all really excited about meeting Rija. We all heard a lot about her from Grandpa and Miller's garments employees. They all praise her. Even if the marriage does not happen, we still want to meet her. ”.
“ Hey young lady, watch your words. I already told you she is my granddaughter in law. How could you say marriage does not happen ? ”, Dan Miller scolded Bella Miller.
“ Hey young lady, watch your words. I already told you she is my granddaughter in law. How could you say marriage does not happen ? ”, Dan Miller scolded Bella Miller.
Bella Miller gave Dan Miller a look to stay quiet but it was too late. When Pablo Tyler heard declaring Rija Tyler as his granddaughter-in-law without his consent arrogantly, he became furious and said with a grumpy face, “ Damn you, Dan, what do you think you are? Rija isn’t an orphan girl who you could adopt as a bride for your grandson. She is my, Pablo Tyler’s granddaughter. All the young men of rich families are dreaming of marrying her. Daily we receive calls and invites from prestigious families about Rija’s marriage proposal. If you think you can make my granddaughter your granddaughter in law, then keep dreaming. I can’t stop someone from dreaming but it will never happen in the real world. ".
Dan Miller also became furious after hearing Pablo Tyler. He asked furiously, “ What exactly is your problem? My grandson is the best in every way. Why are you rejecting this proposal ? ”.
“ Because he is your grandson, that is why ”, Pablo Tyler said arrogantly.
Dan Miller wanted to retaliate but Maria came forward and stopped him, “ Dan, will you calm down for a minute? Let me talk to him. ”.
Dan Miller looked at Maria and calmed down. He nodded his head and shut his mouth.
After calming down Dan Miller, Maria walked toward Pablo Tyler, “ Pablo, you have known me and Dan for many years. I know you haven’t seen how we have brought up our children as we were aboard and never had a chance to visit you guys. But can’t you trust your friend with your granddaughter ? ”.
Pablo Tyler looked at Maria calmly and replied, “ It’s not like I don’t trust you. Even your family is the best option for Rija’s in laws but … ”.
“ But what ? ”, Maria asked.
“ I hate your man’s arrogance. Rija is my granddaughter, but he shows his rights to her like I am not her grandpa, he is. I hate it. She hasn’t become your granddaughter in law yet and he is already ignoring my existence. What if, when she marries your grandson, he didn’t even let me see her. ”, Pablo Tyler complained like a child.
Maria smiled at him and comforted him, " Come on Pablo, you know no one can erase your existence from Rija's life. After all, she is your granddaughter. ".
Pablo said with a sad face, " I can't take the risk when it comes to Rija. You have so many grandchildren, you won't understand my insecurities. I only have one granddaughter. I can't afford to lose her. Secondly, I want to give her a perfect home with a perfect family. A family that can love her and cherish her. My Rija has gone through a lot, she does not need a rich husband and a rich family. All she needs is a loving husband and a loving family. ".
