Chapter 1206 Not Allowed to Marry Her Within Three Years
When Benedict and Bella rushed back home, Jamarion and Alana arrived.
Alana just told her parents on the phone that she would come back with Jamarion.
Hanging up, Julian realized what was waiting for him and turned highly sullen.
“My guess was right. Jamarion studied at the college Alana was admitted into and aimed to court her. I have observed him and his moves these years and thought he would never pursue my daughter. Now, it turns out he has made this plan for a long time.” Julian stormed back and forth, while furiously complaining with Emelia.
By contrast, Emelia calmly asked servants to prepare more dishes for Alana and Jamarion.
Hearing the children’s plan to have a party, Emelia and Julian already had dinner. But she guessed Alana and Jamarion who came back from the party didn’t eat anything.
Feeling Julian’s dissatisfaction, Emelia added, “We have watched these children grow up and know their character. You have to decide for yourself whether Jamarion was a good boyfriend for your daughter.”
Then, Emelia walked back to the kitchen.
She had to admit childish men were annoying.
Julian refused to accept any man to be Alana’s boyfriend though Jamarion was excellent among his peers.
As Julian’s attention was diverted by these words, he immediately followed Emelia. “Are you angry?”
Emelia smiled, “No.”
Julian didn’t believe in her and stopped in her way, staring at her seriously, “Really?”
Despite being married to her for many years, he was still afraid of her being angry, especially of her sulk.
“I’m not angry. Just leave you alone.” Emelia glared at him.
Amused, Julian explained in an aggrieved tone, “I love my daughter so much and I just want her to be happy.”
She replied, “I know. They are dating, not marrying. Besides, he’s not old enough to get married yet. Why are you so worried?”
Julian knew these truths but felt it difficult to accept the reality.
Jamarion held her hand and walked in with Alana, who felt very nervous but then felt at ease at the sight of the smile on her mother’s face.
She had her mom’s support.
Alana knew her boyfriend would be fine since her mother was thoughtful and gave her and Alaric all support and Julian listened to her mother.
Comforted by Emelia, Julian could calmly treat Jamarion.
After Jamarion expressed his love for Alana for many years, Julian asked his daughter into the study.
Julian asked softly, “Do you really like him?”
Alana nodded. “Yes. I sensed his love for me soon after he arrived in Ascana. Dad, I’m not the kind of girl who would blindly do everything for love. I have carefully observed how he treated me within two years and felt his feelings for me. Thus, I decide to be with him.”
These words rendered him relieved and he knew she was circumspect and composed and then made this decision.
He added, “Why do you like him?”
Alana chuckled and replied in a lovely tone, “Dad, after being in love with mom for many years, have you known nothing about love? When you are deep in love, all you see is your lover’s merits.”
Julian collected himself and realized it was indeed a boring question.
No matter how a person loved someone, he or she only noticed that the lover was perfect.
“Dad, don’t worry. I know what I want and could get my happiness.” Alana confidently said to her father.
Alana who grew up in an affluent family full of love and owned wealth and power would not be forced to be with a man or sacrifice herself for love.
She knew what love was from her parents’ perfect love story and how a man could be regarded as an excellent husband.
If she broke up with Jamarion one day, she would leave no regrets and live a new life.
Her mother had taught her that a woman should have self-esteem and never pester a man who didn’t love her even if she wanted to be with her lover forever.
Julian didn’t persuade Alana anymore.
When the two came back to the living room, Julian required that Alana should not get married within three years.
Jamarion seriously replied, “My affection for her is not a whim. I have waited for her for many years. I love her and have made full preparations to get married to her. In fact, I was going to marry her in two years.”
Sullen, Julian realized this guy refused to follow his requirement and even was ready to get married to Alana in two years.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
He finally warned, “If you don’t accept my terms, then don’t go out with her right now. If you can’t wait three years to get married, how are you going to prove your love for her?”
As Emelia and Alana thought Jamarion would defend himself, he compressed his lips and answered, “OK. Do as you say.”
When Jamarion did agree to the unreasonable conditions, Julian suspected that he only appeared to agree and would actually take other actions secretly.
Julian squinted appraisingly at the boy in front of him and thought, ‘Why did he agree so quickly?’
