Chereads / Girl with a crown / Chapter 10 - First Impression

Chapter 10 - First Impression

Aria looked at Matheo and thought,"He looks handsome but a little cold-hearted."

Matheo was looking at his Grandfather who was teasing him and his eyes started to flicker. Peter said to Mike,"Let's have a cup of tea", but only Peter, Mike and Aria started to have tea, but John and Nick were staring coldly at Matheo. Matheo was feeling nervous as he was facing the cold and disturbing gaze at him. Peter looked at Matheo and started to evaluate him as he had met him before. Matheo was totally different from a few years ago as he was more calm and had a less intimidating aura in him. Little did Peter know that Matheo had a lot of practices for that day to keep away his intimidating aura. Peter said slowly and in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, "Mike, Matheo has changed a lot."

Mike laughed as he said"Yes, he is a lot warmer now." but his thinking in his heart was totally different, like he was sure that Matheo wasn't like today as yesterday. He still had the cold aura of yesterday and someone had to stay awake to calm his aura and smile. But he couldn't say this to him as he also wanted Aria to marry Matheo. He was a little unsure till yesterday that he only wanted to marry Aria to Matheo because of the words of Master Flake. But he so much wanted Matheo to marry Aria today after meeting her in person, he also knew why Matheo agreed to get married to Aria. 

Peter said" Should we send them to talk to each other alone?"

Mike said." Sure."

Peter said to Aria and Matheo," You both talk to each other and tell us your decision."

Matheo and Aria said together" Okay" and got up to go to the dining area to talk.

Aria was feeling a little nervous, scared and many more emotions, but what she was sure was she actually didn't hate him. But here Matheo was totally feeling like heaven and wanted to have a little talk with this little girl.

Aria was walking ahead of Matheo, and they went to sit in the chair with their thoughts on their minds. They sat across each other facing each other's faces and then silence took over for a minute. Suddenly, Aria said" Okay, let me make something clear to you."

Matheo said"Okay".

Aria said" I want to study and become literate. If you wish to have a homemaker, then let's end the conversation and say the result to our family."

Matheo said"Okay, our family wants me to have a wife, not a servant to serve someone. Don't worry about it, there's all the freedom you want." 

Aria looked at Matheo with shocked eyes, as she wasn't expecting this answer, and she also knew the so-called rich family always had a dominant position. So, she was a little unsure if he would accept her condition.

Aria said"Yes, please say it if you have any other questions."

Matheo said,"You know there won't be a lot of time to spend with each other as I am the only child of my parents and have a lot of overtime. I may not be able to give you time, if that's OK with you?"

Aria said"Yeah, That's OK with me as I have seen my father working hard every day and I rarely saw him." in an understanding voice.

Matheo said," If there's anything to say, say it out."

Aria said"NO,"

Matheo" OK, I also have nothing, then let's get married at the end of this month."

Aria was shocked by the decision-making capacity of the Matheo. She looked at him and said" That's all?"

Matheo looked at the innocent eyes of Aria and said,"Yeah, we are finished talking, isn't it?"

Aria and Matheo looked at each other and said"Let's go", then both went to the lawn and saw that everyone was having their tea. Mike and Peter were the first ones to see them and said "Shall we move forward?" When both of them nodded their heads, seeing them nodding their heads at all the people present, the happiest was Mike. Mike immediately said" When shall we get them married?" and looked at the three of them. Peter, John and Nick were a little sad and wanted to get them married after a year. The three of them looked at each other, and they all understood each other's inner voice.

Peter was about to say something but Matheo interrupted him by saying" Oh, we decided to get married at the end of this month."

Aria looked at Matheo saying this and wanted to say something that she didn't decide, but it was all decided by him, but looking at the eyes of her family she knew there that they wouldn't believe her, so she kept quiet.

Mike looked at his grandson and immediately knew this was decided by Matheo and Aria couldn't interrupt. How could Matheo not know about his grandson's thoughts? So, he looked at Aria and asked"Aria, do you have the same thoughts as him? Don't be afraid to say your thoughts, I will be the one deciding this matter, not this brat" and looked at Matheo angrily and glared at him, but he turned to Aria with a loving gaze. Matheo looked at his grandfather's changing gaze as if he was a fox who had changed his face. He looked at the loving gaze of his grandfather towards Aria and started to wonder if he was the biological one or Aria? Then he also looked at Aria with nervous eyes and his eyes started to flicker a little.

Mike looked at his grandson's flickering eyes and knew that his thoughts were true. He glared at Matheo and waited for the answer from Aria. Aria was thinking that it didn't matter when they would get married right. After all, they will get married eventually. She can't run away. It's better to go for it rather than to wait for it to happen unexpectedly.

Aria said" Okay, that's my decision also." after she said this, Matheo looked much more confident and relaxed. This was all in the eyes of Mike.

Mike said" Okay". Then he looked at Matheo with a smile that didn't reach his eyes and said to Peter,"You guys ask him everything you want. Go to the living room and ask him, I want to have a talk with Aria". He looked at Aria with a loving smile. Matheo, who saw through his grandfather, and had no other choice than to go with his word as he needed him till the marriage date. He will keep this account in detail and will get back to him. He looked at his grandfather and said with his eyes" Go on. My days will be coming soon."

Peter, John, Nick and Matheo went to the living room together and sat on the sofa. Matheo sat on the single sofa whereas Peter sat in front of Matheo. John and Nick sat on the double-sitter sofa.

Peter said"..."
