Bob walked towards them and smiled at Colt. “You finally have the time to come for a visit?”
The Dokko family was a family of cultivators whereas the Snyder family owned a family business but they were close acquaintances. Bob and Colt were very close to each other as if they were sworn brothers.
Bob greeted them and then instructed the maids. “Bring us some decent tea.”
The maids served them tea. Bob and Colt chatted for a while before Colt said cheerfully, “I’m actually here today for Tanya!”
He explained everything!
Jonas had gone to his father right after he returned home the night before. He had begged his father to help Tanya regarding the collaboration with Dragon Tech.
Colt was famous in the community so he barely interfered in the business industry. However, he had to agree this time because his son begged him desperately. Plus, the matter was concerning his future daughter-in-law.
Phew!
Bob gave Tanya an accusing glance when he heard that.
He let out a bitter chuckle and replied, “I can’t believe that Jonas made you come to visit because of this. How dramatic!”
“How is this dramatic?”
Colt shook his head, his expression serious. “Our family has been close to yours, we are like one big family. One has to know his limits. The owner of Dragon tech turning his nose up on your family is equivalent to looking down on the Dokko family too. I cannot just watch from the sidelines regarding this, even if Jonas had not asked me to interfere!”
Bob nodded with a smile when he heard that. “You are right, but businesses are all about profits that come from social relations. I think that we should put a hold on this for now.”
“Fine!”
Still smiling, Colt continued, “We’ll talk about this later. I am actually here today for another important matter, a wedding between our families!”
‘A wedding?’ Bob froze for a moment then recovered quickly. “What wedding?”
Colt explained, “Bob, Jonas and Tanya are not young anymore. Also, Jonas has always adored her. Therefore, I brought Jonas here today to ask for your blessing for their marriage.”
Jonas’s face was lit up with excitement.
Indeed, Colt had decided last night that he would take this opportunity to ask Bob about their marriage.
‘What?’
Tanya’s was frozen on the spot. Her mind was buzzing!
‘He had asked Uncle Colt to ask for father’s blessing for our marriage?’ “Well…”
Even Bob was stunned. He regained his senses immediately and nodded with a smile. “What a coincidence, I was just talking to Tanya about marriage. I don’t have a son and she is my only daughter so I wanted to get her a husband who is willing to get married into my family…”
