Chapter 151 - An Unexpected Guest.
Chapter 151 – An Unexpected Guest.
After Angga's family left, in the spacious and luxurious living room, Mr. Andrew and his wife were silent.
"Mama, Papa, why are you silent?". Jennifer asked while holding her Papa's hand with a surprised expression.
In fact, she is closer to her father than her mother.
"I'm sorry for choosing the wrong man for you!" Mr. Andrew said with an expression full of regret while looking at Jennifer sadly, because yesterday he had forced his daughter just for the sake of a jerk like Angga.
Jennifer smiled while holding her Papa's hand as she said, "It's okay, I'm sure there will be a better substitute!".
"But what now? Everyone knows about your wedding, if it was suddenly annulled they'd be wondering, and it would embarrass our family." Jennifer's mother began to worry about the scorn and reputation of her honorable husband's family being damaged.
Jennifer and Mr. Andrew immediately turned to Jennifer's mother who looked disappointed and worried.
"Excuse me!". Just then, suddenly the servant approached them respectfully.
Jennifer and her parents immediately turned to the maid in surprise.
"What is it?". Jennifer's mother asked lazily.
"Outside there is a guest who wants to meet!". The waiter replied.
Mr. Andrew and his family were amazed and Jennifer was no exception.
"Mmm… Who's visiting at this time of night?". Jennifer's mother asked the maid again.
"Said they had something to do with Miss Jennifer and her parents." The waiter replied.
Mr. Andrew frowned because all they wanted to meet was him and his family.
"Just tell them to come in!". Said Mr. Andrew slightly sarcastically because he was in a bad mood and he wasn't in the mood for guessing either.
Hearing the order, the waiter immediately went and invited the guest in.
Not long after that the three guests arrived at the living room.
"Good evening Mr. Andrew!". A voice that was so familiar even though it had been many years sounded again in Mr. Andrew's ears. Immediately Mr. Andrew immediately looked towards the source of the sound.
Seeing a handsome man clad in a luxurious coat standing accompanied by his parents made Jennifer's heart skip a beat, he was her favorite, she missed the most thrilling and in her mind there was only that man.
"Azura?" Mr. Andrew's eyes widened, his heart beat wildly, in the midst of his surprise he called the name he had always longed for.
Although Azura already has 3 children and already has grandchildren, her facial features are firm, her aura is strong and graceful. For that Mr. Andrew could not turn away from her, while Jennifer's mother's gaze became cynical seeing her best friend in high school as well as her love rival, even though Andrew was finally with her but she knew very well that Andrew's heart was only for Azura.
"Can we talk for a minute?". Asked Mr. Charli who tried to melt the tense atmosphere between them.
Jennifer quickly answered, representing her parents who were still stunned.
"Oh of course uncle, please sit here!". Jennifer invited Charles' family to sit on the sofa opposite Jennifer's seat with her parents.
Charles and his parents immediately sat in the seats that had been invited.
"Thank you!". Azura said to Jennifer with a smile.
"You're welcome". Jennifer said as she sat back next to her father and mother.
Seeing that his guest had sat down, Mr. Andrew and his wife also sat with Jennifer.
"Please tell me what is your purpose here?". Said Mr. Andrew looked cynical as he saw Azura sitting next to her son and husband.
Azura smiled.
"Before I express my good intentions, first I want to ask about my two close friends from elementary school to high school. How are you guys?". Azura asked while smiling at Jennifer's Mama and Papa.
"Our news is good…". Jennifer's mother answered expressionlessly.
Jennifer's mother tried to be a good host though her heart ached when she realized her husband stole glances at Azura at every turn.
Jennifer was surprised and did not expect that Charles's mother was childhood friends to teenagers with her parents.
While Charles was silent, he couldn't describe how amazed he was to see Jennifer's beautiful face beneath that unique outfit.
"Papa… Is Charles' mother really a friend of Papa and Mama?". Asked Jennifer who could not contain her curiosity.
Mr. Andrew just nodded with a bitter expression, after that he adjusted his seat and looked back at the Azura family while saying, "Sorry, but we don't have much time, so please state your intentions for coming here!".
Mr. Charli understands Mr. Andrew's attitude because he also knows that his wife is a woman who is very loved by Mr. Andrew.
Because Azura had told him everything before he decided to follow Charles to the country of F.
Azura was sure that Andrew would not treat her son well, so she called her son and informed him of her sudden arrival.
"I came here to bring my parents with good intentions to propose to your child!". Charles went straight to the point representing his parents.
Jennifer's cheeks suddenly turned red when she heard Charles' words, she didn't think that Charles' plan was so perfect, there was no need to run away or hurt anyone.
Mr. Andrew and his wife were very surprised, they had tried to keep Jennifer away from contact with Azura's family, but now they were so close.
"I am sorry, I…". Before Mr. Andrew had time to continue his words, suddenly a middle-aged man's voice came from the entrance.
"I agree….".
All eyes immediately turned to the old man who was none other than Mr. Andrew's father, Mr. Adolf. He is Jennifer's grandfather who is the most powerful in her family.
If he has already made his decision then no one should be able to oppose him.
"But, dad…" Again Mr. Andrew could not continue his words because Jennifer's grandfather immediately interrupted his words.
"I don't need your comments, because you have let me down. How dare you force my beloved granddaughter to marry a man she doesn't love, now let Jennifer decide!". Said Mr. Adolf as he sat down beside Jennifer.
Jennifer was very happy to see her grandfather's arrival because she knew her grandfather would definitely defend her.
"I think you're right! Jennifer is an adult so she has the right to decide who she wants to marry." Dio said, who had just joined, gave his opinion to support Jennifer and his grandfather because he knew that his sister never wanted a marriage with Angga.
Mr. Andrew and his wife's expressions darkened, they were so annoyed but they also couldn't argue with Dio's words in front of his grandfather.
Now Mr. Andrew is confused by his father's sudden arrival. Hasn't his father been living in America all this time to calm himself after the departure of his beloved wife, then why is he here now?
The truth is, it was Charles who was trying to find a way to soften the hearts of Jennifer's father and mother. After a long search, he found the facts about Jennifer's grandfather who was so powerful, so he went to America to meet Jennifer's grandfather and ask for his help and tell him everything.
Of course, Jennifer's grandfather was touched by the love story of Jennifer and Charles, because Mr. Adolf is a lover of love, he knows the bitterness of being separated, let alone being forced to separate, even though he knows Charles is Azura's son, but the most important thing is the feelings of his granddaughter.
"My granddaughter, now I want to ask, do you want to marry the man in front of you?". Asked Mr. Adolf as he looked at Jennifer with a smile.
Hearing her grandfather's question, Jennifer who had been looking down immediately looked up to see Charles.
"Jennifer, why are you silent, let's answer!". Dio felt impatient and excited to see Jennifer who was silent.
Jennifer realized, after that she took a deep breath. But, before she could answer, Jennifer glanced at the dark expressions of her parents, she understood their concern, after which she looked back at Charles.
"I want to marry you as long as you are willing to give me the dowry I ask for!". Jennifer said firmly.
Charles fixed his seat and smiled at Jennifer. At that moment, everyone looked very curious as to what kind of dowry Jennifer would ask Charles for.
"Tell me what you want, I will make it all come true!" Charles said firmly.
Jennifer took a deep breath while staring intently at Charles and his parents.
