Love Worth Fighting For

112 Be my only one

Realizing that Asher was still very hard to provoke, Johan decides to stay in the car as Asher and Suri walk to the restaurant where Jack and Anne are entertaining their new business partner.

In the car, Johan reports what he did today to his father who currently can’t do much, because he has to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair after a terrible accident twenty-five years ago. Edmund, who is not willing to let Jack live happily, then orders his only son to continue his plan to seize Jack’s property which should belong to him and Johnny, the father. The adoptive brother of Calvin Muller, Jack’s biological father.

While talking to his father, Johan did not take his eyes off Asher and Suri who were climbing the stairs to the place where Jack was entertaining his guests.

“Relax, Dad. Soon, all the treasure they took from Daddy will return to Daddy. I swear I’ll take everything we owned that was looted by Jackson Patrick and his children,” Jason said hoarsely, full of vengeance. Since childhood, he has been indoctrinated with hatred and lies, making Jason hate Jack and all his descendants, including Asher, who are considered unworthy of enjoying the luxurious facilities provided by Jack, that’s why Jason decided to make Asher his first target by becoming his assistant.

“I really didn’t think that the famous Suri Mireya often shared with the poor, it turned out to be this beautiful,” said Mrs. Edelyn Naoko, the wife of Mr. Kaoru Naoko, Jack’s new colleague, honestly. “Your face is really very beautiful, as beautiful as your heart.”

Suri’s cheeks reddened. “I’m not that pretty, madam.”

“Ahh sweetheart, you really are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met, darling. If only I had a son, I would definitely set him up for you,” said Mrs. Edelyn again.

Mr. Kaoru, Jack and Anne just laughed at the words of the American-Japanese blood woman who was so blunt, only Asher was the only person who didn’t laugh at all. He felt a little disturbed to hear the words of Mrs. Edelyn who wanted to match Suri.

Their conversation finally stopped when the waiter came to bring the food. As a good host, Jack really treated his two guests very well. Even though they were in the restaurant right now, Jack asked the waiters to give them their best tonight.

.....

Suri’s habit of eating very little while living at the Floyen mansion is still carried over to this day, although in front of her there are various mouth-watering delicacies that are her favorite foods, Suri still stops eating after she finishes half of her grilled salmon.

“Why honey? Is the food bad?” asked Anne quietly to Suri who was wiping her lips with a handkerchief.

Suri shook her head. “It’s not bad, Mom. I’m full, I’ve had a large portion of ice cream on the way.”

“Is it really full just by enjoying ice cream, beautiful child?” asked Mrs. Edelyn with a smile.

Siri nodded slowly. “Yes, madam. I can’t eat too much, my stomach still can’t adapt.”

“You have a stomach problem, darling?” asked Mr. Kaoru using English which was still thick in Japanese.

“No, I’m fine. It’s just that I’m still not used to eating much,” replied Suri very politely.

As if she had known Suri for a long time, Mrs. Edelyn immediately grabbed Suri’s hand and held it tightly. “You are beautiful no matter what your body shape is, darling. From tonight onwards you have to learn to eat a lot, okay. Don’t think about the words of people who set a slim body as a standard of beauty. You are already beautiful, very beautiful even. So don’t torture yourself anymore, okay? .”

Even though she was very surprised to hear the words of a woman who was the same age as her mother, Suri still forced herself to smile. Apparently Mrs. Edelyn thought she was on a strict diet, a lifestyle that single girls like Suri often do to keep her body in shape.

Due to drinking too much, Suri then asked permission to go to the toilet and Asher, who did not want anything bad to happen to Suri, immediately followed after asking permission from Jack and Anne.

“Is it done?” Asher asked softly to Suri who was washing her hands in the sink

Suri nodded slowly. “Can we go home, Asher?”

“Why suddenly want to go home? We’re having dinner with Uncle Jack’s new business partner, Suri. It would be rude to go home first while they’re still enjoying their freshly served food.”

Sirius took a deep breath. “I don’t really like being complimented, the Mistress keeps praising me. I’m not comfortable, Asher.”

Asher smiled, Asher lovingly smoothed Suri’s slightly messy hair. “My beautiful sister is really different from the others, isn’t she.”

“I’m serious, Asher!!”

“I’m serious too, that’s all. If you are not comfortable, we will return to the table first and say good-bye to Mrs and Mr Naoko, then we will go home,” Asher said softly.

Suri was silent, she thought about Asher’s words for a few minutes before finally nodding her head, agreeing with Asher’s words to return to the table first to say goodbye. Because walking behind Asher, Suri did not see if anyone else had sat down to join her parents at the dining table. Until finally Suri’s whole body stiffened when she met a handsome young man who was also staring at her without blinking since she saw Suri walking closer with Asher.

“Oh you’re back,” said Jack cheerfully as he grabbed Suri’s hand, which had stopped walking to get closer to him. “Daddy introduces one of Daddy’s new co-workers, Mr. A... Suri!!!”

Jack immediately shouted loudly when Suri suddenly fainted.

Luxembourg, 8.00 PM.

Mr and Mrs Wilson could only be silent when Christian spoke, for almost thirty minutes Christian spoke in front of Elena’s parents. Give recognition to both of them that he and Elena are already in a relationship. Elena who did not expect that Christian would actually prove his words when he was at home saying he wanted to make a confession in front of her parents made Elena unable to speak, as a result, as long as Christian spoke, Elena could only silently bow with her hands in Christian’s grip.

“I’m sorry if I wasn’t honest yesterday, because I was afraid that both of you would oppose our relationship as Elena had feared all along,” Christian said softly with a pitiful tone.

Elena who was mentioned immediately raised her face towards Christian, giving him a thick, murderous look. And Christian who realized that Elena was protesting to him pretending not to know, he still didn’t break his eye contact with Elena’s father who looked calm unlike Elena’s mother who immediately screamed loudly when Christian spoke honestly about his relationship with Elena.

“Elena’s scared,” repeated Mr. Wilson quietly. “What is Elena afraid of?”

“Elena was afraid to be in a relationship with me for fear that both of you would reject her on the grounds that I was too rich for her,” Christian replies honestly. “Even though I never thought about it, I really love Elena and want to have a serious relationship with her even though we’ve only known each other for a few months.”

“Two months and three weeks.” Elena clarifies Christian’s words.

Christian turns and smiles at Elena. “Wow it seems you really remember it in detail huh, dear.”

Elena’s eyes widened instantly. “Christ...”

Elena was unable to continue her words when she saw Christian who had released his grip suddenly kneeling right in front of Elena while holding out a white box with a diamond ring inside. “Will you be my only love in my life, Elena Wilson?”
