Proposal

After that episode.

"I'm not getting anything out of it, Mr. Huston. I don't want to disappoint you, especially after you've invested so much in us, "I told him.
"Oh really," he said.
"Yes, Mr. Huston," I said with a smile, "so, will I take it as a yes?"
"Ask your husband, Mrs. D'souza, whether he'd be willing to hand over his daughter to a complete stranger?" He asked.
"Thank you, Mr. Huston... I'll persuade him," I said. He hung up the phone.
Thank God, I signed.
But, I still have a problem. If he marries her, he will acquire the whole of her property. Whatever the case may be, I will think about it later. But first, I need to convince Robert.

After an hour later,
Obin was looking forward to Derek's arrival. Derek's car came after a few minutes, and he got into it.
"Boss," Obin said, "she appeared very happy."
Derek gave a sly grin. Is it true? Then just let her be. " I'm curious to see what she's capable of.
Suddenly, I noticed a car parked in the middle of the road with two boys harassing a girl. "Stop the car," I told them, as I motioned them to do so.
"Boss, do you need anything?" Obin asked.
"Wait here, I'll be here in a minute," I said as I stepped out of the car.

"Are you guys finished yet?" I asked as I stood behind them. Two boys turned back to Derek after hearing him. For the first time, Derek and Elena exchanged glances. She was lying on the back seat of the car, pitifully staring at him.
That night's flashback ended.

Right now.
"Honey, we made a mistake. At least I should have met Mr. Huston, "Robert said.
"I said, Robert, I spoke with him," I added, raising my voice to him. I was simply attempting to persuade him. I sighed his name and took his hand in mine. "Listen up, honey, he's a really nice guy. But, I think he is a little older than Elena ".
Robert's eyes widened in shock as he asked, "What?" "Are you okay, Anne? Do you know what you're saying? And what do you mean by "a little older," Robert had approached me with the question.
"I didn't mean too old. "Just say yes, babe," I said. "Believe me, Elena will be happy."
Who knows how old he is? I don't care if he's too old. I just want to kick Elena from this house.

Robert, I have to convince you at any cost.
I began to emotionally blackmail him. I said, "Please, babe."
Robert stopped for a moment before asking, "What if she doesn't want to marry?"
Thank you, God! Robert eventually agreed.
"Make an effort to convince her. Even if it doesn't work, you must be strict with her, "I exclaimed joyfully.
Robert rubbed his forehead. I was ecstatic to see him in this state. Because I'm sure he'll speak with her.

Lucy drove Elena back to her home. "So, this is your home?" Lucy asked.
I got out of the car and responded, "Yes, indeed." "Please come in."
"Not today, honey. "I have to get to the airport right now," Lucy stated.
"Why?" I asked.
"I have some work to complete in Paris," Lucy said.
I nodded and responded, "I see."
"Lucy, can you give me his phone number?" I asked.
Lucy asked, "his?" with a cocked eyebrow on her face.
"I'm talking about Derek," I said, a smile on my face.
She guffawed as she taunted, "Why?"
"Haha! Don't put too much thought into things. I only want to thank him for everything he has done for me, "I expressed myself.
"It's all right, honey. But I'm extremely sorry that I won't be able to give you his phone number. He doesn't like it, so I'm sorry. He is an introvert who avoids talking with strangers," Lucy stated.
Oh! Yes, he is unfamiliar with me. Why should he wait for a token of gratitude? Perhaps he's already forgotten about me.

"But-," Lucy remarked, winking, "you're different." She snatched up a pen and scribbled his phone number down on a piece of paper. Lucy handed me the note and said, "Here it is."
"Thank you, madam," I said pleasantly, "and he is also unfamiliar with me."
"Oh, really," she said, smiling, "but I can see your future with Derek."
I said, "Lucy." She's merely trying to pair me up with Derek.
"Haha! Don't worry, after returning from Paris, I'll take him to your place. However, if you're lucky, he may pick up your call, "Lucy expressed her thought.
"Then I'll choose to wait for you guys," I nodded.
"But I'd like to give him a lesson. He chastised me several times. It's now my turn, "Lucy said.
"Like how?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.
"Because I know he'll call me to ask for your address, but I'm not going to give it to him," Lucy proudly stated.
"Lucy, you're such a teaser, "I chuckled.
Lucy gave me a friendly smile. "I admire your beauty, angel. But I have to leave now, "she drove away after saying this.
I bid her farewell and entered the home.

As I entered the house, I spotted that my dad and Anne were having a conversation about something.
I called him "Dad."
"Elena," my father said unexpectedly, as if he didn't expect me right now.
"Where have you been, Elena?" my father asked.
"Dad, I was with a friend," I said, but Anne rushed up to me and started flaunting her phony love, "Elena baby."
With a disgusted expression on my face, I glanced at her. I'm not sure what to make of this woman sometimes. When my father is around me, I think she enjoys showing her affection.
"Dad, what brings you home this time? Did you take a day off today? " I asked joyfully, ignoring her.

Because I don't get to spend much time with my father.
I noticed his somber tone, and he said, "Baby." But what's the matter? Is there something going on?
"Dad," I said, holding his hand with concern.
"Baby, I lost everything," Dad said.
I asked, "What?"
