''Yes.''
Sera immediately accepted Alex's proposal, which surprised him because he had expected her to show some resistance, but unexpectedly she accepted right away.
''Good. Please bless and may your soul rest in peace.'' Alex said, concluding his prayers.
The two departed after Sera spent another few minutes silently talking with her mother.
On their way back, Sera chuckled. ''What a sly move.''
Alex smiled; he had expected her to say something like this.
''I know, but I thought it was the right opportunity to declare how he felt, letting my mother-in-law know that I'm sincere about dating her daughter. And from what I could tell, she seemed to have a son-in-law like me. She accepted, and I'm also happy that finally, you acknowledged our relationship. We will start for real this time. Please take care of me from now on. Always stay beside me.''
