On the next morning, Lily and Arvin went to Rosa's home, which sparked interest among a lot of people.
Rosa's family house
Rosa's father, Albert, greeted Arvin and his grandmother in the living room, while Sansa stared blankly at a photo of their daughter who disappeared, Rosa.
Arvin put the presents on the table and went to Sansa, "Auntie."
As soon as she heard his voice, she looked at him happily, "Arvin, I'm glad you're here! I have some good news for you! Your uncle told me that Rosa is in Shine Empire!"
Of course, Arvin knew this. It was him who asked his men to tell Albert the news.
"Auntie, I know that."
Sansa acted normally and greeted Lily politely. All of them sat on the couch. Albert was smoking quietly. The room was silent; nobody said anything.
Finally, Arvin broke the silence, "Uncle, my grandmother and I are here to talk about my engagement with Rosa."
Albert had already known about Arvin and Angela. Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't control his emotions.
"Arvin, Rosa is going to show up!" Albert said firmly.
Arvin was the ideal man for their daughter. Albert treated him as his own son during these years.
"Uncle, Rosa hasn't come back. Two years ago, you said that Rosa would show up, but she didn't... Most importantly, I'm in love with another girl!" Arvin was frank.
Two years ago, they said that Rosa would show up, but that was not the case. Only a girl who looked like her appeared.
"So... you are not going to wait for our Rosa because you're in love with another girl? That's not an excuse!" Albert got irritated.
Since Arvin didn't want to talk in circles, so the situation became tense immediately. Lily tried to break it to Albert softly, "Albert, Arvin has been waiting for Rosa for seven years. He has never given up his engagement during that long period of time. Since Rosa still hasn't showed up and Arvin is in love with another girl, I think it's better to let this go. Otherwise, it would be unfair to them..."
"Arvin, you have been waiting for Rosa for seven years! Why not wait for a little while longer? Can we talk about this after Rosa comes back?" Albert looked pitiful, which made Arvin and his grandmother feel terrible.
"Uncle, you know the real reason why Rosa is engaged with me! I'll break up my engagement even if Rosa returns." The reason why Arvin was engaged to Rosa was because of their grandfathers... They had arranged their marriage when they were very young.
At that time, Arvin didn't have anyone to love. He didn't even understand the concept of love. He believed he could marry anyone as long as his family approved until...
Angela showed up...
She was like the sunlight who illuminated his bleak, grey life.
Sansa looked at Arvin in confusion and then frowned, "Arvin, what do you mean? You won't wait for Rosa?"
'Not wait for Rosa? Why did she say that?' Lily shook her head and said, "Sansa, you can't say that! Arvin has been waiting for Rosa for seven years... Should Arvin wait for Rosa his whole life even if Rosa doesn't come back? Should he?"
"Yes! I think Arvin should wait for Rosa. Rosa has not married yet, so she must be waiting to marry Arvin! Therefore, Arvin needs to wait for Rosa. Arvin, can you wait for her? I really like you very much!" Sansa believed she was not wrong to ask Arvin to wait for her daughter.
...
They had discussed this for an hour longer, but they failed to reach a consensus.
