William asked Esther and Oliver to come back to home for a week as he wanted to talk about the marriage proposal. Oliver also wanted to tell his family about his relationship with Esther.
After 3 months,they got to eat the delicious food made by their mom.
"Esther, you are becoming thinner and thinner. You've got to eat to eat more!" Mrs. Smith said looking at Esther.
"What about me?" Oliver asked.
"You're getting fatter and fatter" Mrs. Smith teased him. Hearing this Esther also started laughing"I think that he is eating your food also!" she continued.
Hearing all this Oliver pouted like a small kid. Seeing this Mrs. Smith and Esther laughed even more.
"Ok, let's continue eating now." Mrs. Smith said.

"And she also likes you back?"
"Mm...yeah! Actually I proposed her and… she said yes!" he said shyly, he was also are nervous!
"You punk! And you are telling your father only now?" Mr. Smith asked smiling ear to ear.
"Dad you are okay with our relationship?"
"Of course, yes! Esther is a good girl and I was also having a feeling that we never looked after her as our real daughter and feared whether we were partial! Now, she will become my daughter-in-law and we would become her real family and not foster family! Right Honey?" he looked at his wife and she nodded. She was also happy with their relationship.
"I want you 2 to get married as soon as possible! Only if you both are ready!"

"The only thing that saddened me is that, you only told us about your relationship after proposing her!" Mrs. Smith said making a sad face.
"Sorry mom!" Oliver said and side hugged her.
"So when did you started dating her?" Mrs. Smith asked, breaking the hug.
"Around 2 and a half years!" he replied.
"This long and you… leave me! I'm not talking to you." Mrs. Smith pushed him away acting hurt
