Come And Hug Me

Chapter 152 – Feeling Touched.

"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.

"I want you to join my clan!".

Hearing Jennifer's request, Charles was silent for a moment, he glanced at his parents, while the expressions of Mr. Andrew and his wife began to soften, because they felt sure that Charles would not comply with Jennifer's request, so they had reasons to refuse the proposal.

"How about that, Charles. Are you able to fulfill my granddaughter's request?". Mr. Adolf tried to clarify again so that Charles could answer firmly.

While Jennifer was feeling nervous, she was confused and restless. What if Charles refused her request, would she be able to part with Charles?

"Honey you're an adult, Mom and Dad won't influence your choice, if you want to join their clan then say it!". Azura said. 

Mr. Charli also spoke up. "Charles, say what you want to say! We will support you, you are our proud son, we believe you can make wise decisions!".

Hearing the advice of his parents, Charles took a deep breath, after that he looked back at Jennifer and her family with a smile and said, "I will join your clan and release my family clan!".

Hearing Charles' words, Jennifer couldn't help but smile, she shed tears of emotion, she never thought that Charles would fulfill her request.

"Good then… !". Mr. Adolf and Dio were pleased with Charles' decision.

Jennifer kept on giving thanks in her heart, tears welled up in her eyes, and Charles saw that, he knew they were happy tears.

"Oh yeah, what if their wedding is held on the day we have agreed on as Jennifer and Angga wedding day, because the invitations haven't been distributed, isn't the sooner the better?". Dio said excitedly.

Jennifer's mother began to open her voice, although she did not agree but she really could not oppose Jennifer's marriage in front of her father-in-law.

"That's impossible, because we need to re-prepare, the invitations need to be reprinted again, and other preparations. What will our extended family say if it turns out that the groom-to-be has changed so quickly!"

"Auntie, calm down, I've taken care of everything, invitations can be distributed tomorrow!". Said Charles calmly.

"So before you came here you had prepared everything? Could it be that you knew about Angga before?". Mr. Andrew was curious about Charles' attitude.

Charles nodded because he didn't want to lie.

"Yes, I have prepared everything because I know that this marriage will be canceled because Rosalin herself told me about Angga, and I asked her to immediately tell the family before it was too late". Replied Charles.

Mr. Andrew and his wife were at a loss for words.

Just then, Azura interrupted Charles and Mr. Andrew's conversation.

"Andrew… aren't we both old? Can't we just forget everything that happened in the past? We're not teenagers anymore, and don't let our children feel the things we used to feel, don't you know it hurts? I hope you all bless our children who want to unite their love.

Let everything that was in the past stay there, and don't carry it around anymore because it was beautiful in its time!". Azura said with a smile.

Hearing Azura's words, Charles, Jennifer and Dio wondered, what happened between their parents? But as children they do not want to meddle in their parents' past affairs.

After a long silence, Mr. Andrew finally made up his mind especially when he heard Azura's words.

"I want to rest, tomorrow we will discuss again about their wedding, and about the invitation to let Dio take care of it!". After saying that, Mr. Andrew took his wife into the room, he left his guest with his daughter and father.

Hearing her father's words, Jennifer and Charles felt relieved. 

After that long conversation, the night was getting late, finally Charles and his parents said goodbye even though they couldn't say goodbye directly to Jennifer's parents.

"Mom… Dad… Did you guys forget me?". Suddenly Syenina's voice was heard, she came out of Jennifer's room after hearing the sound outside was no longer heard.

Charles and his parents turned towards the source of the voice.

"Oh… Oh my gosh it turns out my little daughter is here, then let's go home first!". Azura said while smiling at Jennifer and pulling Syenina's hand.

"Where will you stay?" Jennifer asked curiously.

"We're going to Larry's house and staying there as long as we're here!". Replied Charles.

"Yes, then convey my greetings to Larry, I hope his wife wakes up soon!". Jennifer said with a smile.

"Yes, until we meet again!". Azura hugged Jennifer warmly before they left and Jennifer kissed the back of the hands of her two future in-laws.

After Charles's family left, and her grandfather and older brother, Jennifer lay down on her bed, that night she was very happy and thanked repeatedly in her heart, until she finally fell asleep soundly.

Time continued to pass, until finally the morning was incarnated marked by the warm rays of the sun that were always faithful to the morning.

If Jennifer and Charles were happily waiting for their happy day, Michael was still sad because of yesterday's events.

It was already 8 in the morning, Sophia who had been unconscious since yesterday opened her eyes, she stared at the white ceiling of her room, repeatedly blinking her eyes trying to remember what had happened.

Not long after that, Sophia woke up from her sleep and sat back with a pillow on her bed.

Sophia's gaze became blank, her mind was chaotic when she remembered what happened yesterday, suddenly Michael came into the room carrying a bowl of porridge that was still warm, Sophia immediately glanced at Michael without expression.

"Honey, are you awake? Oh yeah, I just made porridge for you, now you have to eat so you and our child are healthy!". Michael said as he sat beside Sophia.

After placing the porridge on his bedside table. Michael looked back at Sophia with a happy expression. But his heart was sad to see Sophia who didn't show any emotion. 

Sophia was still as silent as a statue, her gaze dimmed and her expression as if she was holding back a deep sadness.

"Honey, are you still mad?" Michael tried to talk to Sophia while squeezing her hand.

Michael is getting more and more heartbroken by the attitude of Sophia who doesn't want to answer his questions.

"Sorry I never told you about Joice, like I said, I consider Joice as my sister, I don't want to hurt her because she was very good to me, that little girl who helped me during the accident, she donated her blood voluntarily, and what I heard that she always comes to see me when I'm in a coma, and she helps me tirelessly to remember my past." Michael took a deep breath before continuing his words.

"Joice did tell Larry's family and my parents that she was my girlfriend, I just kept quiet because I didn't want her to feel embarrassed, I said I missed nothing more than being a brother to his sister, I called your name because I was so worried that you were sensitive or not. will accept my explanation!". Michael said at length while looking at Sophia.

Hearing Michael's long explanation, Sophia remained silent without any emotion, she just stared blankly at the front, even though her hand was gripped by Michael but she didn't show any reaction.

Michael was completely heartbroken, he was at his wits end, and was so worried about the condition of Sophia and the baby, he didn't want to lose either of them.

"Honey, just this once please don't be stubborn! I didn't mean to disappoint you. Yes, I was wrong and I promise I won't do it again! Please don't shut me up like this, you better hit and slap my face!" Michael felt hopeless, he looked down and kissed the back of Sophia's hand and hoped to get an apology from Sophia.

After a moment of silence, Sophia gently stroked Michael's hair and said, "It's noon, why don't you go to the office?".

Hearing Sophia's voice, Michael immediately looked up with tears in his eyes.

"Honey, have you forgiven me?"

Sophia smiled as she wiped Michael's tears with her soft hand.
