I'LL DEAL WITH THIS
"Chrissy’s engagement," Liliana said with far too much casualness for a bombshell, "was fixed with the youngest daughter of the Kaelthorne family." Apart from Lord Valemire, Rosaline, Delphina and Christian, the others looked very normal since they're aware of this already.Rosaline turned slowly toward Christian, her expression is full of disbelief layered with quiet fury. "So not just a childhood sweetheart… You even have a fiancee? How many things are you hiding from me Chris?" Christian looked frightened more than confused, "Ummm... No! I... I don’t know anything about this engagement, I don't know at all." Rosaline crossed her arms, with a sneer, "You don’t know her or engagement with her?""Both, I swear I don’t have any idea about it," he insisted, "I don’t even know that family's name." "Are you sure?" Rosaline raised an eyebrow, that's when Christian remembered the contents he got to know from Ezra about that family back then which he almost forgotten until now Rosaline q
SO, WHAT IF I AM?
"Really, Grandpa?" Christian asked, his voice cracking with disbelief, as he still couldn't believe that his grandfather accepted that easily.Lord Sargent didn’t answer at first, he simply gave a small, and gentle nod.Christian didn’t wait. He moved forward like a child who had just been told his dream came true and wrapped his arms tightly around his grandfather. The old man stiffened at Christian's sudden gesture, but only for a second, before patting his back once, almost awkwardly."Thank you... thank you so much, Grandpa," Christian whispered, overwhelmed by his grandfather's acceptance and support.The usually stoic Lord Sargent muttered, "Silly boy! I don't know whom you exactly take after...." "Of course not you honey," Amelia chuckled looking at her husband and grandson precious bonding, Lord Sargent laughed at his wife's comment, while family seemed to be pleased by what they were witnessing.Before the warmth could fade, the air shifted again as the grand doors were op
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
