After Jason told the story of how he met Selina, Rosanna's eyes were filled with tears. Her husband took out tissues in advance and placed it on the table. She stuttered as she looked at the photo once more.
"She..She was at an orphanage?" Her voice trembled vigorously as she spoke. She sounded like an explosive device that could destruct the entire planet at any second.
Jason noticed the odd reaction coming from Rosanna and thought she had opinions against Selina's background. "Aunty, my girlfriend might have stayed at the orphanage, but that doesn't mean anything. Though she did grow up in an unpleasant environment, she has a loving brother who took great care of her. She was brought up well-mannered and is a great artist."
A tear droplet dripped from her wet eyelash and slid down her high cheek. Rosanna was holding in her anger, but her face was obviously displeased. Jason pointed to his portrait painting on the wall behind the couple and tried listing good points about Selina.
"If you could take a split second and turn around, you'll see how talented Selina is. Her childhood does not reflect on how intelligent and capable she is. Her artwork lives on its own and brought me to tears. Even if she has no status and wealth, I don't care. Even if everyone in this world is against me from being in a relationship with her, I don't care. Because she is my world."
Jason expressed his thoughts clearly to the Clovers. His speech had moved Julia to tears and rendered Nick speechless. No matter how great he was with comebacks, he could never fight his son's speech. This was the first time Jason had shown his emotions like this and Nick was extremely joyful to have heard it.
Rosanna took a deep breath and looked at Jason with narrowed eyes. "And if I tell you I will make Hui Corps, disappear overnight if you don't marry my daughter? What will you do? Are you still sure you want to cancel this engagement?" The fierceness in her tone matched with her facial expression.
Lifting the corner of his lips to a sweet smile, he tapped his index finger onto his chest. "I've never been as sure about this decision. You can take away Hui Corps, but I can always start another business. But in this whole world, there is only one Selina. Without her to share my success, everything I have would be meaningless."
Rosanna lowered her head and looked up again with tears drenching her cheeks. She sniffled, "I'll ask you one more time. Are you positively sure about cancelling the engagement?" She let out a sunshine smile this time when she asked him.
Taken aback by her reaction, he continued with a nod. "I am sure."
"Good. Very well. Then, I hereby announce the engagement is called off. But I have more questions for you." Rosanna stood up with a playful smirk on her face.
"Yes?" He was ready for her questions.
"When do you plan on getting married?" Rosanna questioned while giving her husband's hand a squeeze.
"Whenever she is ready to be my wife." He answered.
Rosanna nodded and sucked in her lips before asking the next question she had in mind. "Does her parents know about this?"
"I haven't found her parents yet. The woman who raised her was not her biological mother." He didn't know why he felt obligated to tell her all these details, but her eyes looked too similar to Selina's.
Releasing a sigh, Rosanna cupped her right cheek. "Jason, look at my face carefully. If you have glasses, you can wear them. If you have contacts on, then change your degrees. Look at me carefully and tell me who I remind you of."
Blinking as she stared into his eyes with a teasing smile on her face, Jason's heart began to pound frantically. "Y..You...It couldn't be..."
Smirking, Rosanna asked. "Her butterfly birthmark is pretty unique. It will only appear after her skin touches liquid. What do you think?"
Jason could feel his energy draining from his body. His soul could be seen flying out of his physical body when she released that piece of information. Rosanna used the photo in her hand as a fan. His stunned expression was priceless. If she could, she would've taken a picture of him and use it at her daughter's wedding!
"You're..." When he finally snapped out of daze, his phone rung. Recognizing the caller ID, he immediately picked up the call. The sound of nails scratched against chalkboards could be heard from across the room even though the call wasn't on speaker mode. He brought the phone away from his ears as he listened attentively to the bodyguard's message.
Right after the guard reported the emergency to him, the call disconnected. Jason instantly sent out his secret team and informed everyone about what the message was about. Shortly after the call had ended, Selina's caller ID popped up on his screen. Everyone was already on their way to rescue them, which led to the current hospital scenario.
Selina covered her face with both hands as she recalled the childhood kiss! Her cheeks were flushed as Jason chuckled by her ears and hugged her closely.
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" He teased her jokingly.
Pinching his chin between her thumb and index finger, she turned his face sideways. "How did that eight year old become this shameless? Wait, no! You've been thick-skinned since I first met you! You scared the wits out of me about the graveyard and haunting spirits! Oh, and you stole my first kiss!!"
"Hahaha. Correction. You were the one who initiated that kiss!" He combed through her hair as she pouted from his tease.
Concentrating back on the main topic, Selina still had one question in her mind. Tilting her head from her parents to Michael, she asked. "Then, big brother..."
"Hmm?" Michael smiled at the way she addressed him.
"If you knew I was your little sister... and you also knew about our parents...then why didn't you just tell us everything in the first place?! Damn, my life could have gotten much simpler if you told me about it." She leaned her cheek in her palm and tapped her fingers against her skin.
Rosanna and Eric nodded along with her and turned their attention onto Michael. Up until the moment he stepped out from the crowd to show off his butterfly birthmark, they didn't know about his identity. They were also curious as to why their son would remain hidden.
Michael rubbed his chin. "Ah, I guess I didn't introduce myself properly. Mom. Dad. Besides being the Clover family's eldest child, I am also the Prince of Darkness. As for why I've waited until now to disclose my identity, it is because...our enemies have finally fallen into my hands."
