Chapter 20 – Is This An Arranged Marriage?
"There seems to be a bad smell from this visit, and I'm sure my cousin will play a cold-blooded wolf drama tonight. Hahahaha…". Larry said as he covered his mouth so his laughter wouldn't be heard in the dining room.
After that he returned to his room before his uncle and aunt knew of his whereabouts.
Dining room.
Mr. Aron looked at Michael and Clara with a big smile.
"It's so nice to see the two of them because they look so good together, I can't wait to see them get married and have children."
"Hahahaha… You're right". Said Mr. Walton with a chuckle.
Hearing the conversation, Michael understood the purpose of Mr. Aron and his family's arrival.
Immediately, Michael began to feel uncomfortable.
"When is dad coming?" Michael asked to change the subject.
"Last night when you were asleep, dad came home because Dad's best friend wanted to meet him". Mr. Walton replied with a smile.
"That's right, I miss your father so much that I asked him to come home. Because we couldn't wait to meet him, that's why we chose to come first to greet him. In addition, we also wanted to talk about you and Clara's engagement because you are adults so you have to get married soon". Clara's father said.
"Is this an arranged marriage?". asked Michael in surprise when he heard Mr. Aron's words.
"Hahaha … Mr. Walton … Why don't you tell Michael that he and Clara have been betrothed since childhood?". asked Mr. Aron.
"Sorry that I forgot, it's all because I'm too busy..". Mr. Walton patted Mr. Aron on the shoulder because he felt guilty that he had forgotten.
Just then, Mr. Aron's wife immediately took over when she saw Michael's expression.
"Michael… When did you come back to this country? Why didn't you come say hello to us? Have you forgotten about us?". asked Mrs. Aron in a soft voice.
Michael turned to Mrs. Aron.
"It's been a month ago". Michael replied expressionlessly.
"I see, does Clara know that Michael is home?". Asked Mrs. Aron, glancing at her daughter.
"I know, it's just that we haven't had a chance to talk yet." Answer Clara honestly.
Clara is the eldest of two children, she is the heir to her father's business empire, namely DM Group which is engaged in Fashion, she is beautiful and smart, she is also successful in running her own company.
Therefore, Mr. Walton was very proud of his future daughter-in-law.
"Is that right Michael?". asked Mr. Walton.
"Yes". Michael answered in a curt expressionless manner.
"Then you two eat out while it's still not too late, so you can get to know each other better." Mr. Aron said, suggesting what his daughter expected.
Mr. Aron knows that Clara likes Michael so much that he tries to unite his daughter with Michael.
"We've known each other, father, we were in the same school when we were in first school. Michael is a legend at school, besides being smart he is also handsome so no one doesn't know him". Clara said while smiling sweetly at Michael shyly.
Actually Michael never thought Clara existed, only Clara often stole Michael's attention because she wanted to brag about going to a school if she was close to Michael.
"Wow… Amazing! Then go for a walk to get closer before you get married". said Mr. Walton excitedly.
Hearing his father's words, Michael's face turned dark, he almost went crazy when he heard the matchmaking, now he was asked to go with a woman he never loved at all.
Michael glanced at Mrs. Anggi who had been sitting. However, he immediately got a code from his mother to agree to his father's request.
Michael took a deep breath, then he stood up.
"Let's go!". After saying that Michael left the table without waiting for Clara.
Clara was surprised that Michael agreed to take her out, her heart that had been worried when she was worried that Michael would refuse now turned happy.
"Let's go after him!" Mr. Walton said.
"Yes uncle!". After that, Clara immediately ran after Michael.
Not long after that, Clara arrived at the door. She saw Michael standing beside his car.
Seeing Clara arrive, Michael immediately opened the back door of the car. Immediately Clara's expression became complicated because she wished she was sitting next to Michael instead of sitting at the back.
"I don't feel comfortable sitting next to women." Michael said.
Since she had loved Michael since the first time she met in middle school, she wouldn't mind sitting in the back as long as she could hang out with Michael.
Holding back her annoyance, Clara got into the car.
The whole way they didn't even speak. Because Michael's aura was so terrifying that Clara didn't dare say hello to him first.
In one of the malls in city B.
"Thank you for taking me for a walk!". Clara finally got up the courage to start the conversation.
"Yes". Michael replied expressionlessly.
Hearing Michael's answer, Clara was at a loss for words and annoyed.. She felt like she was walking with a living statue that wasn't human.
