Drake and his wife found themselves in a terrible predicament. They couldn’t help but think, we thought that marrying off our daughter would be a joyful occasion, but the wedding gift that the other side is asking for seems ridiculous.
“Don’t tell me you’re hesitant to give it up, Drake.” Edmund continued in his – pursuit.
“Well, that’s not really true. We’ll get ready for our part of the wedding gift, but this land is under my father’s name. I don’t think I have much of a say in this.”
“However, I heard that you inherited the land from him. Certainly, you can make that decision. We also want our children to have a nicer place to live once they marry, wouldn’t you agree? You will provide the land, and we will assist in the construction of a villa. In the end, it’s for the benefit of our children.”
“Mr. and Mrs. York, I’m not too choosy about where I live. Also, I have my own so after Christopher and I get married, we can just move into my apartment,” Sophia said.
“An apartment? That can’t be right. Christopher can’t live in an apartment. We have always given him the best of everything since he was a child, in case you didn’t know,” Margaret refuted in a strong manner and made it sound like his son was a rare and precious gem.
A large black SUV pulled up in front of the restaurant’s entrance. The bodyguard stepped out of the vehicle to open the rear passenger seat door. The man’s slender and long legs stepped out and he walked right inside the restaurant.
“Do you have any reservations, sir?”
“We’re here to look for someone,” his bodyguard answered.
Arthur asked, “Where is The Prema Room?”
“Oh! This way, sir.” The server catered to their needs with enthusiasm. While directing them to The Prema Room, the waitress could not resist catching a glimpse of the male visitor. He is extremely attractive! Is he a celebrity?
At the same time, the atmosphere in The Prema Room had become a little awkward. The York Family was keen about getting that piece of land, but the Goodwin Family was in a dilemma.
The room’s door was pushed open at this moment and the sweet voice of the waitress welcoming someone was heard shortly after. “Please enter, sir.”
The two families turned their heads and glanced at the door in surprise while a noble looking man entered the room.
Sophia was so shocked when she saw the man that she jumped from her seat. “Mr. Weiss, why are you here?” she asked, looking at the man with bewilderment.
Arthur shifted his eyes from the two families in their seats to the plump man next to Sophia. He narrowed his eyes as he thought, is this the man she’s going to marry? Is she blind? This man does not deserve to be with her.
