The journey ahead was smooth. No one seemed to be talking neither was there any plan of discussion ahead.
Lucas was simply concentrating on the wheels ahead while Selena was busy on her phone. She wasn't looking up at all but was rather busy with someone over the phone.
She had chatted up with her Grandma, Grandma Dawns.
- Grandma, invited me over to his house to talk with his Father. As we speak now I'm heading Over to Carl's family to meet his Father -
She expressed through the keys of her phone as she hesitated, waiting for her reply. And it took two minutes before Grandma Dawns finally replied to her.
- what do you mean by that? Are you telling me that you're headed towards the Carl Mansion right now to meet his Father? -
Selena could feel the tension in her tone as she received the text from Grandma Dawns. Selena could easily tell
"And who is she if I may ask...?" The butler was curious to know as he stared at Lucas and Selena who had come with him."Her? well she's my fiancee and my wife-to-be. We'll be getting married sooner or later" Lucas had explained with a broad smile.It was already obvious to tell that he was extremely happy with the idea of being married to Selena."Oh, I see. I see.." The butler nodded as he looked towards Selena " On, Nice to meet you then. Since you're the younger master's wife-to-be, You're welcomed to our mansion. Feel free to stay and make yourself at home!""Thank you " Selena had expressed with a broad and pretentious smile On her face."So why did you bring her here if I may ask?" The Butler looked at Lucas."Well, I'd like to meet Father. I had brought her over to meet Father" Lucas had explained."Oh, is that so?" The but
It wasn't too long before Selena found herself sitting at the dining table along with Lucas who sat beside her. Opposite them was Mr. Carl who seemed to be enjoying the meal before him.The atmosphere was quiet in the meantime as Mr. Carl enjoyed the meal before him. Lucas and Selena who were on the other hand were rather anxious about how to strike up a conversation with Mr. Carl who didn't seem bothered about talking with them.As Mr. Carl had observed, he stopped his meal and looked up at them "So, How are you guys enjoying the meal? specifically you, Miss Dawns? I hope it's up to your taste like in the Dawns family?"He had asked Lucas casually smiled as she looked up at him "Don't worry about me. I'm rather enjoying the meal as well! It's rather more delicious than I imagined, one of the best I've had so far. Thanks" She appreciated with a crooked smile.Even Mr. Carl could Sense the insincerity
"This is merely the trending news and speculations which is circulating online. I simply read them out and told you about it. And don't think I made them up by myself, because I don't have much time to waste"He had his cold glare at Selena who was already looking pissed off but was struggling to maintain a calm and unaffected smile."My dear son, I can see you already have her side always. You don't even believe in me or my words, that's sad" Mr. Carl had a cold glare at Lucas who didn't seem to care."Well," Mr. Carl sighed as she picked up the drink and Causally gulped it down " Well maybe I'm seeing feeling biased by what those teens circulate online. Their so-called theories. I guess I should stare less at my phone" He smiled at Selena. "Cheers"Mr. Carl Smiled at Selena whom she had raised a toast.Selena had struggled to hold in her annoyance which would certainly lead her
"This last option should at least be something you can deal with. And also easy because it's something you can do right now at the moment"Mr. Carl had his eyes on Selena as if judging her every expression and reaction. Selena on the other hand was struggling not to give out her true expression because she was already panicking at the moment."And may I know what this option is about?" she had requested from him."Easy. Tell him the whole truth" Mr. Carl Wanted to make it as easy as anything. But it didn't seem like a few words were enough to prove his point."If you want to be with someone then don't you think the relationship shouldn't be built on lies? Telling him the Truth about your true agenda and plots of your family and seeing if he can bear with it... don't you think that's what true love means?"He had a sharp as he stared at Selena's face. From the looks of it, he didn
"Hey! Wait up" Lucas had called out as she ran after Selena who had left the mansion in what seemed to be a hurry."Where are you off to so fast, wait up!" Lucas finally caught a hold of him. He had stopped her right in Infront of her car."Why did you suddenly run off like that? Didn't I say I was going to lead you out?" He questioned her while holding onto her hands.Selena turned to look at him. In her eyes were tears rolling down. Pretentious tears which she had forced out for some purpose of her. Her selfish purpose."Oh.. what's wrong with you? why are you crying... what's wrong?" He had asked her, worried about her.While Selena on The other hand quickly wiped off her tears" It's nothing. It's nothing " She had said "I'm okay, it's just something that got into my eyes...I'm okay.." she said, still sobbing."No, You're not okay. Something is wrong. You
"So how did it go? I hope you didn't do anything wrong to say anything wrong, right?"As Selena rode off in her car that night with both hands firm on the stirring, She had her phone connected to the car through which she had received the incoming call from Her Grandma."Don't worry Grandma, I didn't do anything wrong. Rather I had taken the right step and option. My words and actions were on point and I'm sure won't cause any problems. so you don't have to worry about me " She expressed while riding along the way that night."Okay then. That's good to hear, I hope you're saying the Truth at the moment because I wouldn't like anything to go wrong. Okay?" Grandma Dawns confirmed over the phone."Yeah. I'm sure about what I said. although Mr. Carl remains Suspicious of me and my every move, I still have Lucas's support at the tip of my fingers. He's so Loyal to me that he can even fight his father for
He had received a text message from Miles whom he had just ignored his call. Matt sighed." What's it now?" He sighed as he picked up the phone to read through the message. The message read.- I'm still waiting for your information about the mission. So I hope you're not trying to escape but still intact, Okey -Matt stared at the message for a while as he simply sighed " Oh dear, I guess I'll have to reply.
