Together

Bonus Chapter - 2

Jeanette and Ijekiel

His heart was pumping furiously. The tie around his neck seemed to become a weapon to kill him on the spot, today... he will ask for the blessing of her lover's parents to marry her.

Just be honest...

Ijekiel Alpheus, the son of a businessman— a former businessman and criminal who has been sentenced to life in prison — is currently very scared.

He was afraid his meeting would fall apart, he was afraid of being kicked out, he was afraid of being rejected.

His current status as chief manager of a division at Lucas' company does not help him erase the fact that the father he now hates is destroying his reputation. Alpheus's good name— do they have it in the first place?

He patted her chest, stared at himself in the mirror, feeling ready he took his phone and car keys downstairs and headed for Jeanette's awaiting house.

...

Where is he? Why isn't he here yet?

I'm waiting for Ijekiel who will come today at the door. My feet kept moving around restlessly waiting for him.

Tin! Tin!

The sound of the car horn startled me, it felt like my heart was going to let go of surprise. The windshield was lowered to reveal the figure I had been waiting for, his hair was neatly arranged, he was wearing a shirt and tie, looking very formal.

Uh... I'm afraid mom or dad will choke him with that tie.

"Sorry, have you been waiting long?" he asked after parking the car near the garden. I shook my head slowly, "It's okay. You're on time, come on in." I led him inside and I screamed at mom and dad.

"What's the matter, Jeanette?" asked the mother from upstairs.

"Come down with father!" I exclaimed.

Ijekiel and I waited for them to come down and I could see that my father wanted to do something about the man next to me now.

"What do you need today," asked my father curtly. He immediately threw himself onto the back of the sofa and crossed his legs and arms, his face irritated and he clicked his tongue.

Gosh... now I'm so scared.

I can't ask anyone for help, so let it all happen today!

Just as I wanted to speak, the man next to me was already a shadow moving quickly downwards.

Eh?

EHHH???

IS HE EXCESSING?!?!

...

I couldn't think about anything, when I saw Mr. Anastacius glare at me and Mrs. Penelope smiled sadly at me, it felt like this soul wanted to come out of my body right away.

But...

I can't leave Jeanette anymore!

Come on, Ijekiel! You can do it!

If you really can't do this, then you really are a white dog!

Suddenly I immediately knelt down when the woman's parents who I love now sat comfortably on their sofa. Seems like Jeanette was surprised by my sudden behavior judging by the sound she made.

I lowered my head and put my hands on my thighs to the two of them, "Please forgive all my mistakes in the past. My goal today is to ask you both to marry your only daughter, Jeanette!" I said aloud.
