Chapter 29: Chapter 29
"Honey, it looks like we'll get good news from Alex today. Will he introduce his girlfriend to us? " said Mrs. Adepoju very excited
"Don't overdo it, he just wants to have lunch at home." Said Mr. Adepoju calmly as he turned the pages of the newspaper
"But you also know that Alex hasn't been home for a long time. Since he decided to live alone, he never come home let alone for lunch. I'm sure he would want to introduce his girlfriend to us. " Said Mrs. Adepoju
Because his wife was very enthusiastic and confident in his intuition, Mr. Adepoju began to think the same thing. Thinking they could finally bring Alex to the aisle made the loving couple smile broadly and drift into their own shadows.
Meanwhile Alex, who was impatient and could not resist his longing, went straight to the fashion team room. At first he just wanted to see Precious from the window, but after he saw it, Alex was getting impatient and could not help himself.
Alex then opened the door and entered the room and immediately held Precious's hand who was drawing something. Precious whose attention was focusing on the canvas in front of her immediately turned to Alex who suddenly came and held her hand.
"Let's go, we have to prepare a lot of things for lunch this time." Said Alex with a deep Precious look and also a sweet smile that could captivate anyone who saw it
Alex has been trying hard to look cool and build a romantic atmosphere as taught by Liza, but unfortunately the plan must be a total failure because Claire ruined all that. Claire was very annoyed when she saw Alex enter and disturb Precious who was drawing. Claire then approached Alex and kicked Alex's right leg so strongly that Alex immediately shouted loudly as Claire kicked his leg.
"Ouch! It hurts ... "said Alex in pain
"Why did you suddenly kick my leg ?!" Alex said again, grimacing in pain
"What are you doing here to disturb my team at work?" said Claire
"I ask permission for a moment, there are important things we must prepare." Said Alex
" Alright. Just leave there. " Said Claire
Alex smiled broadly then he held Precious's hand and took it out. Alex was so happy he couldn't stop smiling. He held Precious's hand tightly and took it out.
They go to the mall and look around while thinking about what they should buy as a visiting gift. First they saw the tea set, the unique cup and the memorable glamor caught their attention.
"Should we just choose this?" Alex asked
But Precious shook her head then left. Alex chases after Precious. Precious walked while watching shop after store but nothing attracted her. Until she suddenly stopped in front of a shop that sells baby equipment. Alex who saw Precious was silent when she saw baby clothes and the baby carriage immediately realized the maternal nature that began to emanate from Precious's eyes.
"Come on, let's just buy it for our children." Said Alex with a sincere smile and held Precious's hand tightly
Precious's eyes shone brightly as she chose clothes for her unborn baby. Alex smiled because he was very happy to see Precious's shining eyes when she chose baby clothes.
Precious who looked gloomy for the past few days finally smiled and excited again, maybe it was because she had started to become a mother. Even though she always denies it, she is still a pregnant woman who is starting to have a motherly nature.
Precious, who was so excited, finally bought so many clothes and shoes for her baby that Alex could barely hold a shopping bag with both hands. Precious who saw Alex having a hard time carrying a shopping bag felt bad until she looked at Alex with a guilty look, but Alex looked at her with a friendly smile while saying he was very happy.
"I am very happy to be able to do all this for you. We really feel like a married couple. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. " Said Alex
"Now we buy for Mom, what should we give?" continued Alex
"Should we buy bonsai? As I remember, auntie really likes bonsai plants. " Said Precious
Alex smiled and he obeyed the words of Precious. They then went to the market and stopped at the plant shop and bought bonsai as a gift for Mrs. Adepoju. Then they went to the Adepoju family's house.
Once in front of his house the gate opened automatically and Alex parked his car in the garage. Alex opened the car door for Precious then they entered while holding hands.
The arrival of Alex and Precious was immediately warmly welcomed by Mrs. and Mr. Adepoju. Especially Mrs. Adepoju, who had always loved Precious for a long time. Mrs. Adepoju, who was very happy to see Precious, immediately hugged the girl who was like her daughter.
"I didn't expect Alex would bring you today. How are you and your mother? " said Mrs. Adepoju as they sat at the dining table.
"We are good, but mom is not well and is hospitalized." Said Precious
" Is it true? Then we will visit her later. " Said Mrs. Adepoju
"Why did you come with Alex today? Is there anything you want to say? " asked Mr. Adepoju to the point
Precious then glanced at Alex as if asking Alex to replace her talking. Precious also nudged Alex with her elbow so that Alex quickly spoke because she did not dare to speak to Mr. Adepoju who had a fierce and assertive impression.
" Mom, Dad ... I came with Precious today because I want to tell you that i and Precious will get married soon." Said Alex made his father and mother surprised
" Is it true? Mom, didn't listen wrong? " asked Mrs. Adepoju because she was shocked and could hardly believe what she was hearing
"Yes, i and Precious have agreed to get married." Said, Alex
Suddenly Mr. and Mrs. Adepoju cried happily at Alex's words. Alex's marriage is something that they dream of very much because Alex always rejects the candidates they propose, even Alex also always rejects the girl who comes near him. The happier thing is that Alex will marry the girl he has always loved. The girl who made him wait for years and close his heart because Alex is always waiting for Precious and only loves Precious.
Mrs. Adepoju immediately approached Precious and hugged her tightly. In tears, Mrs. Adepoju thanked Precious for accepting her son. His son's happiness is the main thing and valuable for parents. And they are very happy and grateful because Precious has given the greatest happiness in Alex's life.
After lunch and said their wedding plans were immediately agreed upon, Alex and Precious took their leave to return to the office. Right after Alex and Precious left, Robert came and met Mr. Uncle Adepoju.
They then went to Mr. Adepoju's workroom. Robert brought files containing company reports to give to Mr. Adepoju. Mr. Adepoju also read one by one report given Robert.
"You work very well, it seems like I don't need to worry about the company as long as you take care of it." Said Mr. Adepoju praising Robert
