The lawyer read all of the surprising testament and it was so unbelievable. I just can’t believe my parents stated that.
"Wait what?" I was totally surprised with everything that I heard from that lawyer.
How can I need to be married at my age? I'm still young by the way. Only 19 years old....I really don’t know about this marriage thing. Besides, I can't just ask Sasha to marry me, because Seth might kill me.
"Mr Harrison? Do you still hear me or not?" The lawyer asked me.
"B-but....I can't follow this. I'm still not ready yet. Besides, I never have girlfriend before, how can I marry a girl just like that. That's so not cool."
"Mr Harrison, this your family tradition that you must obey it. Or you may not be able to claim your parent’s wealth that will divide to the orphans around the city." He added.
"But I never heard that such tradition they never mention it before." I protested. “My parents never mention about it at all.”
"Well....they have their own reasons, maybe. But they left you a letter along with this testament if there is something bad happen to them." He then handed me a small envelope which he took it from his briefcase. "I hope you will consider it as soon as possible as you have only have a week left to make a good decision."
A week? Wait…wait….how do I find a girl to get married in just 7 days! Man…this is totally disaster. I do really want to have family and be just like my parents but…ugh how can I describe this, I wasn’t ready yet.
I turn to look at Mr Dawson but he only remained silent, not saying any words maybe thinking of something.
The envelope which my parents left for me, I was so scared to read it anyway. I think I can’t handle it anymore because this is too much for me. But I miss them and this was the last thing my mom and dad wrote for me before they died.
