An hour thirty minutes earlier...
Adrian rounded up his preparation activities in his bedroom and called on one of the housemaids to take his luggage to the car.
He went to his parent's room and spent a few minutes with them discussing before joining Mina, who had been waiting to have a long talk with him.
When Adrian was finally seated in Mina's bedroom, she started her lengthy sermon by giving him accolades for being an outstanding grandchild. Then she talked about the family's wish for him to get married and Stella's name automatically popped up.
"Mina, I have already made it known to my parents that I'm madly in love with Stella. Even though my mother still thinks Sonia is the best option for me, I have done my best trying to convince her that Sonia will never be my wife."
