John's car had arrived at the gate of his parent's house, the automatic gate opened by itself. His face was so radiant when he saw the face of his lover who was sitting beside the driver's seat and behind him sat a middle-aged woman who would become his future father-in-law.
Oh god .. Today I have to meet again with the person who has destroyed my family. And now my son will marry that person's child.
"Mother.. Mom.. Mother daydreaming yes". Call Cassie.
"Ah.. No kid.. What's wrong dear?".
"We've arrived, let's go down ma'am".
John then went downstairs to open the door for Cassie's mother than for Cassie. The three of them were immediately greeted by the waiter who had been waiting for them. Then another servant opened the door for them, and now they were facing each other and staring at each other.
Meyer Wife. Phill immediately thought and remembered Mrs. Meyer's face, as well as Mrs. Meyer who looked directly at Mr. Phill with a very sharp gaze.
"Come on, let's go in, why are you standing here, Dad, what's wrong, why are you silent?" John interrupted his father's thoughts.
"Oh yes son, fine come on please come in". Phil said to his guest.
What the hell is this John, how come he's close to Meyer's son if I knew from the start I would have separated them from the start. Now that the two families are at the dining table, Mr. Phill is still silent with a blank stare.
"Father". Call John.
"Oh yeah what's wrong?" said the father.
"Why are you daydreaming? What's wrong? What are you thinking?".
"Yeah, Dad, what's wrong?" Cassie continued.
"Oh it's okay, come on, let's try the dish, mistress".
"Yes, thank you, sir".
Hahaha.. You must be surprised Phill saw my mother. I'm sure you still recognize my mother. This is just the beginning Phil, you'll be surprised more than this. Because the atmosphere at the dinner table was so quiet, John spoke up to tell his family about Cassie's family.
"Father, Mother.. If you know, Cassie's family past is so sad. Her father used to be a very successful dairy farmer where they lived, but everything changed when the greedy rich man burned down Cassie's father's farm".
Hearing John's story makes his father even more convinced that this is the Meyer family, whom he once cruelly got rid of. But the father was silent and pretended to focus on listening to his son's story.
"Then how about after that?" Mother said.
"Cassie's father passed away, ma'am, of a heart attack after seeing his entire farm destroyed in the fire and not all the dairy cows could be saved".
"Oh my gosh, that guy is so bad." John's mother spoke again.
"Yes, that person is very evil, if I knew who he was, I would teach that person a lesson. Because he should not get rid of other people with the power he has". John chimed in very annoyed.
Cassie then glanced slyly at Mr. Phill, and Mr. Phill understood what Cassie's gaze meant.
Gosh John, why are you so different from your father? If only you knew it was your father who did that. Are you still behaving like this? Inner Cassie's Mother
After dinner, the two families relaxed in the living room enjoying a warm croissant and a cup of lemon tea, and they immediately discussed John and Cassie's wedding. But in his heart Phil Edwards didn't want this marriage to happen, he kept thinking about how to keep John away from Cassie. After everything was finished John immediately took Cassie and her mother home.
"Mr. Edwards, Mrs. Edwards, thank you for the dinner tonight. I hope we can become one whole family." Cassie's mother said.
"Yeah, you're welcome Mrs. Meyer, nice to meet you". John's mother replied, then kissed each other's cheeks.
Gosh.. Who wants to be family with you, Mrs. Meyer. I don't want to...
"Father, Mrs. Meyer wants to shake your hand, why are you silent and daydreaming?". While holding his father's right shoulder.
"Oh yes, thanks for coming. Nice to meet you, madam".
"Thank you, Mr. Edwards, it's nice to meet you too." Cassie's mother said.
The three of them immediately got out and rushed into the car, John's father then shouted at his son to come back home because there was something he wanted to talk about.
"John after dropping Cassie, can you come back here again?" shouted the father.
"Okay, sure dad. I'll be back later". said, John.
❤️❤️❤
~Cassie House~
"John you shouldn't have to tell me about my family like that," Cassie said as she hugged John from behind.
"Why Baby". John turned around and was now facing Cassie.
"I'm just afraid that your dad doesn't like me after knowing my family background. Because since dad died, I'm just a poor girl who lives alone with mom and hopes the magic came to change our lives." Cassie's eyes started to sparkle.
"Oh baby, please don't say like that. My dad is not like that, they love you very much. I promise you if that happens I won't let it happen".
"Ohh really honey? Thanks, I love you".
"Sure baby, I love you too".
It's so easy honey to conquer your heart, now you're really in my hands. Cassie smiled slyly in John's arms.
"I have to go now baby, my father is waiting for me. I will come back to pick you up and return to our apartment". Then kissed Cassie's forehead.
"Okay, take care honey".
I'm pretty sure Phill would want to talk about me.. But you'll never win against me, Phil. Cassie muttered under her breath.
❤️❤️❤️
Dad.. Daddy.. I am coming, where are you?
"The young master has arrived, Mr. Phill is waiting for you in his study". said the waiter.
"Oh ok thank you".
John immediately ran up the stairs and into his father's study.
"Dad". Call John
"Come on in." said the father. John immediately opened the door and closed it again, then pulled out a chair and sat down immediately.
"What's wrong dad? Is there a problem at the office? Because you've always been daydreaming". Ask John.
"Ah.. I'm fine, I just want to ask you something".
"What's the matter, dad?
"Are you sure you're going to marry Cassie?" asked the father.
"Of course dad, why?".
"Then what about Brianna? Because I know Brianna is pregnant with your child".
Hearing the words of John's father then looked at his father seriously.
"What? Since when do you care about Brianna's dad? Even she is dead to me and all you need to know is that the fetus is not my child".
"You can't be like that, you're already satisfied with enjoying his body and then you want to dump him? It's not fair son". said the father.
"Then what do you mean by all this? Why did you change dad after meeting Cassie's parents."
"I haven't changed for anything, after listening to your story about Cassie's family. I was just wondering what's the difference between you and the rich man who burned down Cassie's father's farm?"
"What do you mean dad?" John was starting to get angry.
"If you say the man who burned down Cassie's father's farm is a greedy rich man who can get rid of anyone with his power, then the rich man is just like you. Because you've slept with Brianna for a year when she got your child pregnant but you dumped her and you said it's not your son." Phill hoped that his words would open his son's mind to leaving Cassie.
"Ahh.. Nonsense dad, it's not my son. Never mind I'll go now".
John... John..
John just walked away and ignored his father's calls. Phill felt very emotional and threw the glass that was on his table, and it surprised the waiter who happened to pass in front of his room. The waiter then ran into the kitchen and told his coworkers about it.
