As Julian was scanning Jamarion, the latter chuckled, "Do you think it's disingenuous of me to agree right away?"
Julian was speechless, realizing the guy was indeed intellectual, and asked, "I thought you couldn't wait for three years? Why did you say OK so quickly all of a sudden?"
As Emelia and Alana looked at Jamarion, he smiled helplessly, "So what can I do? Argue with you? That only makes Alana in dilemma. I make a compromise because I don't want her to feel sad. Besides, I have waited for her for many years. One more year is fine."
Moved by Jamarion's words, Julian felt the boy's love for his daughter and lost his words for a moment.
Jamarion continued with a serious expression, "But you must keep your word. At that time, I will get married to her."
Pressured by the young boy, Julian turned irritated. "Her decision matters. Can you promise that you two will still love each other by then?"
Julian had seen many lovers break up with each other for a better life, better lovers, or promising jobs.
Alana answered before Jamarion said a word and she held Jamarion's hands. "Dad, I believe his love and I also love him."
Her words sent a blow to Julian and he could only compress his lips and nod, saying, "Fine, we will see after three years."
The talk ended. Emelia asked Jamarion to have dinner while Julian went upstairs in a bad mood.
Later, Emelia went upstairs, leaving them two in the dining room.
Jamarion smilingly said to Alana, "Thank you."
She replied, "We are lovers and should face and deal with the difficulties together, instead of coping with them alone. But dad must be sad."
After ending the talk, she felt her dad was depressed.
"He loves you." Jamarion knew Julian's feelings and never turned wrathful because of his opposition.
In fact, Julian would chase away every man to woo his beloved daughter and firmly believed no one could be qualified to be her boyfriend.
After the dinner, Jamarion said goodbye to Julian and Emelia and then was sent out by Alana.
He had to forgo the thought of hugging Alana when noticing Julian solemnly observing them from the upstairs window.
