As soon as Pierre stepped into the mansion, the butler, Yoel, immediately walked up to him with a big smile. “Congratulations on your successful proposal, Young Master Pierre! You’re finally getting married!” Worried that his words might have sounded inappropriate, Yoel quickly added, “My apologies. I must have gotten carried away with my words since due to my happiness for you. You’re going to marry sooner or later anyway.”
Pierre knitted his eyebrows after hearing the butler. “What’s going on?” I have a bad feeling about this. My boy must have taken the ring and fooled around with it.
At that time, Meredith had already left, while John and Helen were discussing their son’s wedding. Upon seeing Pierre, the old man’s faint smile faded, and he returned to his usual stern self. “Since you’ve already proposed, we should go about the preparation for your wedding.”
After hearing his father, Pierre knew that his guess was right. Meredith happened to visit earlier today, and I bet that little brat must have taken the opportunity to propose on my behalf with the ring! “This wedding isn’t happening.” Pierre proceeded to head upstairs as soon as he made himself clear.
“What do you mean by that? How can you marry without having a wedding?!” John was boiling with anger when he heard Pierre’s reply.
In fact, the father and son had rarely met and talked to each other due to their strained relationship. Therefore, Pierre figured he should save his breath and go upstairs to confront his son instead.
“Where is your respect?! I’m talking to you!” John bellowed in anger when he noticed his son’s flippant attitude.
In the meantime, Helen placed her hand on John’s chest, gently rubbing it. “Relax, John! You need to stay calm!”
“Look at him! How did I even end up with a son like him?!” John sat on the couch and slammed the table.
“Young people nowadays prefer to make their own decisions. So, let’s just stay out of their way. Who knows Pierre has been secretly preparing for the wedding already? Furthermore, when have we ever had to worry about our son? He has always been reliable and mature.”
After hearing his wife’s words, John heaved a sigh of relief. My son is one stubborn mule who’ll never listen to me. I can’t do anything about him, so I’ll just hope that my grandsons won't be like him when they grow up.
Meanwhile, Jameson was happily piecing his jigsaw puzzle in his room while humming away. At the same time, Joaquin wondered to himself, I have no idea what my little brother was thinking. How could he just take Dad’s ring and do a proposal with that? Soon, he said, “You’re in trouble.”
“How is that so? I obviously just did a great job! Dad is going to be so happy when he knows I proposed on his behalf. By then, he will no longer blame me for stealing his ring.” Jameson was proud of the ‘brilliant’ idea that he had come up with, especially when he recalled Meredith’s exhilarated look, as well as the joy that was written on his grandparents’ faces. At that moment, he truly felt like he had just done something commendable.
“He’s going to be mad.”
“Who?”
“Daddy,” Joaquin answered.
“Why should he be angry?” Jameson was confused by his brother’s words.
