Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 833

His words made Ella and Samuel exchange strong looks. Things were getting a little bit tricky here...

Samuel continued his words using a firmer tone. "I have no interest in knowing the details of your love story. However, I do wish you can take up responsibility for Jane. As a man, you need to live up to your words and bear the consequences of your actions! You are a well trained soldier. You should have known better!"

Brian was utterly lost at his strong accusation. What did he mean by taking up responsibility for Jane? What had happened? Did he do something to Jane that required him to be responsible for her?

He paused for a while, thinking what to say to Samuel best. With a clear tone in his voice, Brian answered, "Whatever you say. If you ask me to marry Janet, I will be more than happy to do it!"

Brian's straightforward reply pleased the Shao family.

"Very well. Let's wait for Jane and then we can discuss it further with her as well." Uttering these words, Samuel continued dining.

Half an hour later

Janet came dashing into the living room. As she found no one there, she then quickly turned to the dining room.

Everyone was there, waiting for her.

"Great grandmother, grandparents, dad, mom, Brian! Here I am!" She dashed into Melody's arms, who was smiling the moment she laid her eyes on her beloved Janet.

Everyone was pleased and joyful.

"Where's John?" Janet was confused because she didn't see her brother anywhere.

Ella explained to her, "John went to your auntie's. He won't be here with us this evening."

Alright!

"Jane, go and wash your hands for dinner." Melody lovingly pat her great grand child's hand as she stared her in the eyes.

Janet nodded and then went to wash her hands. Upon return, she found that the seat next to Brian was empty. Naturally, she sat down next to him.

"Hey, Janet, try this fish made by auntie. She did an amazing job cooking it!" Brian earnestly put a large piece of juicy fish onto Janet's plate.

The rest sitting at the table were all contented as they witnessed the sweet moment. Brian was very considerate, despite the fact him being with other soldiers in the army all throughout the year.

"Jane, I've talked to Brian. In a couple of day's time, Brian and his family are going to visit us to officially discuss the marriage between you two. What do you think about it?" Samuel was helping Ella with the shrimp as he casually launched the question to his daughter.

Janet almost choked on the piece of fish when she heard the shocking news!

'What the hell?' She stared at Brian in disbelief, who responded by giving her an awkward smile. He was speechless himself.

"Dad, why on earth are Brian and his family coming here to discuss our marriage?" She gulped the juice that Brian offered her to ease her discomfort.

Samuel pulled his face stern at her response. "Jane, mind your words! You've been together for ages. If you don't intend to get married, then what are you going to do? I won't allow you to mess around anymore!"

Well.... Janet did not know what to say in her defense. Instead, she blinked her eyes innocently, as she explained, "Dad, I was not messing around!"

She thought that actually her father was the one who was being unreasonable with!

The ambiance was tensed at the table. Brian then pat Janet on the shoulder, and said, "Janet, let's eat first. We will discuss the issue later!"

Ella also tried to comfort her husband. "Samuel, please be patient with our child. Don't shout at her!"

"Exactly. Let the kids eat first. We'll talk about these things later!" quickly added Melody. She tried to ease the tension hanging in the air.

Samuel put the peeled shrimps on Ella's plate, wiped his fingers with a wet towel, and finally nodded, "Let's finish eating first!"

Janet was still offended by her father's words. She then asked him with a bold tone, "Dad, why did you shout at me? All I asked for was why the marriage was on an agenda, and you lost your temper because of it."

For the first time in their lives, Samuel and Janet were firing words towards each other and arguing.

"Janet, do you think that I am not aware of the things you did?" Samuel gave his daughter a stern look. Seeing Janet's blank look, he could no longer control his anger but snap at her loudly, "You and Brian... have been together already. Why not get married soon? What are you waiting for? Are you expecting a short-gun wedding?"
