"Chris...."

The soft calling of his name got Christian awake, as he woken up and checked around, Christian found himself alone, and Rosaline isn't anywhere, while it's Betty who called his name.

"Aunt!" Christian mumbled, Betty nodded with a smile, "Dad is fine, and he wants to see you..."

Christian immediately straightened up, brushing away the remnants of sleep, "Grandpa? Did he got into consciousness?"

"Yes," Betty said gently, smoothing down his tousled hair. "Shall we go inside to see him?"

Getting up from the chair, Christian followed her.

The rhythmic beeping of the ICU monitor was the only sound in the silence filled room, save for the soft whoosh of the oxygen machine.

"Go, sit there," Betty pointed towards the chair beside Lord Sargent's bed, his eyes slightly closed and head tilted back against the wall.

Christian's shirt was all crumpled, and the dark circles under his eyes spoke of sleepless nights and long hours of worry about his grandfather.

Then the sound came.

ONLY WHEN PROVOKED
"Convince me this wasn’t the stupidest thing you’ve ever done."Christian didn’t dare to speak a word, not yet as he couldn’t.His heart was thudding loud in his chest, while his mind was spinning. He could notice everyone’s gaze was fixed on him, Rosaline's hand still clutched in his. She didn’t say a word, just gave him that steady, right squeeze as if assuring him with her presence.He finally took a breath, then another, and decided to speak.Christian straightened his spine, his fingers still laced with Rosaline’s. "I don't know if it's foolish or rushed, but for once, I wanted to choose something for me by myself, and I chose her."Everyone looked silently at Christian and Rosaline.Liliana raised a brow in amusement. "Did he just grow a backbone?" Betty leaned toward Amelia. "Did you hear that, mom? He said it without stuttering, do you think this little boy is finally growing up to be a strong man?" Amelia responded with a smile. "One declaration doesn’t make a man, but he
YOUR KARMA
"Chris, are you okay?" Rosaline asked gently, brushing her fingers against Christian's sleeve after looking at his tensed face.Not wanting to worry her, Christian hummed quietly, "Yeah… I’m okay." Charles who caught the lie in Christian's words, rolled his eyes. "There’s no way he’s fine, he’s just acting... No matter how much he gets pampered, he is still afraid of his grandfather..." "I'm not," Christian insisted, "I'm just thinking about how to give an explanation to grandpa, apart from that nothing else...." "I’ll protect you," Rosaline placed her hand on Christian's trying to assure him, in return Christian gently smiled.However looking at their lovey dovey action, Charles snorted. "These both are ready to protect each other, what about me? Who is going to protect me from my father?" "Your karma," Rosaline shot back in a voice completely not sweet at the same time not rude either.They glared at each other like two kids in a silent war, Christian, exasperated and tired by s
HE IS COMING
"Father?" Charles’s fingers froze mid-air.He stared at the phone screen, lips thinning as he read the name flashing in bold capital letters, "Why is he calling me at this time?" Looking at Charles's nervous face, Christian leaned in curiously. "Who is it?" Charles raised a finger for silence, his voice was calm, at the same time filled with extreme fear, "hello father..." But calmness wasn’t what came in return."So, when were you planning to inform the family that our heir just got married in a courthouse, like a common fugitive?" Charles flinched at his father's furiousness and sighed inwardly, "What the hell! How did he even got to know about this? What should I do now?" His entire body is almost trembling, as he winced. "It was a sudden decision, Father, I was just about to..." "No need for your stupid explanations, we will be there in an hour, you've to bring that brat and his wife to the east side estate." The line cut before Charles could even utter a single word.Char
YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF HER?
"I don't know," Christian said quietly, holding Rosaline’s hand tighter. "But what I do know is… she’s not someone I’ll abandon. I’m not just here out of responsibility, I’m here because I want to be, I chose this and, I chose her."For the first time in her life, Rosaline’s confident expression cracked. Her eyes became wet, blinking fast as if she refused to let the tears fall, but they were there. Not weakness, but something different, something she wasn’t used to showing, she had been claimed, not as a prize, not as a burden, but as someone wanted, and that was the moment she knew her choice of choosing Christian was always perfect.The clerk announced with a happy face, "From today, you both are wife and husband officially." Christian and Rosaline exchanged their glances, Rosaline looking all happy as she is finally going to start a family just like everyone."Come out," Charles said sharply with a tight and restraint voice.Christian mumbled. "If it’s to convince me to leave
DESPARATION?
"Uncle…" Christian whispered with a dry voice still in disbelief that Charles happened to come for real when he wanted to keep everything a secret at least till he comes up with an explanation.But Charles did come for real and standing at the entrance, immaculate in a three-piece suit.His gloves were already off, one finger slowly tapping the back of the other glove in his hand as he stepped forward, each footstep sounding like a gavel.Rosaline didn’t move. She only tilted her head, lips curving into a faint, knowing smirk, as if she had been expecting this moment all along.Charles didn’t return the smile.Instead, his eyes slowly scanned the room, from the cheap floral wallpaper, to the government-issued chairs, to the startled clerk behind the counter, and finally to the trembling pen in Christian’s hand."A Sargent heir eloping like some teenage scandal headline?" He asked in a calm yet sharp voice like a razor, "So Chris, you couldn’t even warn me before ruining your life? Hu
IT FEELS THE SAME
"Aren't you going to get ready?" Rosaline came out of the room in a new outfit, making Christian to frown, "Ready? To come out in this bathrobe?" Just then a knock on the door, Rosaline went to open the door and with a smile she returned carrying a bag in her hand, "Your outfit for today is here...." He sighed rubbing his temples, and took the bag from her hands, silently without a word he went into the other room.One glance at the outfit made him groan. "Why do I feel like I’m digging my own grave?" However as he knew there was nothing he could do, wearing the outfit brought by Rosaline, he came out of the room, glancing at him from head to toe, she smirked, "Looks good in this dress, very suitable for a wedding!" She handed him a glass of water and some medicine, "This works best for hangovers," he immediately took the medicine as that's the most important thing he needs at that moment because of extreme headache.Once he is done with the medicine, she smiled maliciously, "Let'
