Carlton sighed, he looked at his daughter in a pityful manner and he could tell that she was going through a lot, he can't tell what she was going through at the moment precisely but he discerned it.
"Can you tell me how you have been? I know we have been in distance with eachother but I still keep track of you, last thing I knew about you was that you and your husband divorced six years ago?" Carlton asked.
"I'm fine. I'm loosing my patience and I will just walk out now, I don't want to be rude so please go straight to the point," Amy said, trying not to let out her anger and pain.
Carlton of course understood the reason for the anger of her daughter towards him, he went straight to the point, "A woman from a rich and powerful family approached me a long time ago when her husband's company was almost going bankrupt and although I'm not half as rich as them, I have what it takes to help them at that moment."
He continued," I realized that if I tell the woman to pay me back in the future, the payback won't last so I did what I thought best for me. Seeing that you are my only daughter then, I made the woman enter an agreement with me that their only son must marry my daughter in the future."
Amy found what her father was saying to be very ridiculous, to her, he was just ranting.
"The reason why I didn't talk about the promise nine years back when you got married to Callan was because their son married someone else at that same time, I felt like there was no reason to interfere into your happiness anymore. But now, the woman's son is single again just like you are single again and the woman is ready to make the promise a reality.
When Carlton was done speaking, Amy smirked," is this what you called me for? To fulfil an agreement you entered into in the past? To be precise, you want to use me to increase your wealth after everything that you have done to me? Then you had to lure me here with a matter of life and death situation..." Amy shook her head and thought that she had never seen anyone as shameless as her father.
She stood and carried her handbag ready to leave when a woman walked in," is this your daughter?" The woman asked Carlton.
"Yes, she's the one. She's Amy," Carlton responded.
She examined Amy from head to toe with an indifferent face then suddenly smiled," she looked beautiful, she must perfectly fit my son."
Carlton was glad that the woman loved Amy.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in this, I need to leave now," Amy said, but she didn't want to walk away from the two elderly people in the room so as not to sound rude.
"Please leave, Carlton," the woman said and Carlton stood and left.
The woman sat and said to Amy," my daughter, please sit."
Amy loved the woman's gentle and kind aura already, she sat politely and placed her handbag gently beside her.
"Yes, it's true that the marriage of you and my son will benefit your father greatly but at the same time, it will benefit you the more. My son has not married a woman for years and although I have persuaded him again and again, he always tell me he would do that but he never does. Seeing that you are single, you could agree to get married to him and I'm sure that when he sees you, he must take interest in you and shower on you all the love their is in the world," the woman said.
"Ma, I'm actually not ready to marry anyone, marriage is not in my agenda for now," Amy said.
"But you are getting old and you don't even a have child, yet. Your father told me that you couldn't conceive for your first husband and that it was the reason why he divorced you, if that's your fear, then you don't have to worry about it at all. My son will accept you and love you irrespective of whether you give birth to a child or not," the woman said.
It's even good that no one knows she has a child, yet. Amy thought.
The main reason why she can't even think of marriage was her six children. Which man will marry a woman that has six children, huh? No man in his right senses will take on that responsibility.
