Chapter 123: Chapter 123

Lauren who is getting impatient since no conversation involved him, Larry is busy talking with Merlin, he too was supposed to talk to Amelia but he didn't he decided to chat with Mandy.

What is my bonbon doing?

Are you done? Mandy asked him, immediately she saw his message

Nope! But don't worry, I will soon be out, it's boring.

Why?

It's simple, you are not here.

Silly, I will wait for you, I missed you.

Hm!

Yes, I do, I am bored here too.

Really?

Yes, I do.

Do you want me to come home now? Lauren type for Mandy.

Now?

Yes, just say the word.

Yes!

What will you do, if I return?

I want to lie on your chest.

And?

Hug you

And?

Cuddle you.

And?

Eat with you

And?

Nothing!

And?

Fine, what do you want? Mandy type in frustration.

I want to kiss you. Mandy eyes bulge out, immediately she saw the message. Fine, what are you doing? Lauren try to change the topic, that word must have made her shy and her next action might to end the chat, he doesn't want that.

Oh! I want to dress up.

Can I see? Lauren turn it to video before Mandy could say a word, there goes the woman of his life in front of him, when he stared at her, she fall her face, Lauren run his hand on his neck, mere seeing how shy she is give him joy and make him blushed badly.

Lauren! Lauren! That was Amelia voice, calling Lauren, she throw pillows at him, since he didn't reply, making him jumped from his wide imagination, watching Mandy dress, make him think of going to her.

Hey! Lauren wanted to protest, Daniel look at him.

What are you doing? Amelia asked. Nothing, I want to go home. That was his next word, Larry look at him, this boy isn't Serious, is he?

Anyways, it's getting late, and we haven't discussed the reason for this dinner. Daniel finally said, then look at Amelia, who is smiling sheepishly. I am sure, your dad had told you everything about the reason we are here.

Yes, he did, he told me that I am getting betrothed to Lauren, that we are having our engagement official.

Engagement what? Lauren yelled, Daniel look at him.

We've discussed this right? Daniel said, the look on his eyes, is a reminder of Mandy.

Yes, I know! Lauren used the two words awkwardly.

Then why are you acting up? Amelia asked, though they have been good friends since they were kids, Lauren never like her, he felt that she is too wild to be call a wife, in as much as she throw her body on him and kissed him everytime they come in contact, no way, he doesn't want her.

I am not acting up! Lauren try not to get mad.

Fine, since we are in same boat, your engagement will be announced officially on your twenty-five birthday, which is two months from now, this is just a formal introduction to the both of you, then after that, we have a wedding but the decision of the type of wedding will be made by the two couples.

Sure, I will want my wedding totally different from that of the one he had with that low life called Mandy.

Lauren clenched his fist, Daniel could seen him from the side of his eyes, but who cares, he doesn't know why he didn't matchmake his son with Mr Cooper's princess, the rich always mingle with the rich but he let his pride down by mingling with the low life, Edward was his friend and the man could be a great access to his business but it turns out, it's not worth it.

Amelia keep blabbering, she has so many plans about the wedding, her wedding gown, accessories, venue, bridals train, people to invite, Lauren keep looking at the time but Amelia is not ready to keep her mouth shut.

President Daniel didn't try to stop her, they just keep listening, Lauren phone ring, Mandy had been waiting for him and it's getting late, so she decided to call him.

I want to leave. Lauren said.

It's late already, so no one is going home, the steward had made arrangements for everyone sleepover. President Daniel, wanted everyone to spend the night there, he had planned it but Lauren is not aware.

What? Lauren yelled.

Yes, you don't want to go home this time, do you?

I can't stay, I have someone waiting... He press his lips together, every eyes fixed on him. What I mean is, I can't stay away from my bed and I have something to do, waiting for me.

Oh! You will do that tomorrow. Daniel added, Lauren sighed inwardly. I think we will retired, come on Cooper, we should leave this young ones, they might want to catch-up

Daniel retired with his friend, Daniella the one wife that couldn't say anything, just kept mute, she could see that Lauren is not happy and this is different, if Lauren hated Mandy 50% when they first met, he hate Amelia, one thousand percentage, if there is anything like that.

Lisa is very tired, Larry carried her to her room, coming back, Merlin who didn't added anything to conversation, stand.

You want to go to bed? Larry asked. Sure, I am really tired.

Alright, goodnight. Larry said, The steward take Merlin to his room, Lauren phone ring, Larry look at him, he pick the phone.

Excuse me! Taking the call, Mandy voice came up.

Are you still coming?

Sorry, I was going to...

It's fine, just stay, it's getting late and I don't want anything to happen to you.

But...

Don't worry, I will just go to bed, I will eat alone.

I love you, tell me, you love me. Lauren said, Mandy haven't replied before Amelia appear in front of him.

Who thou fuck are you calling? Lauren end the call fast.

Can't you see...

See what? Lauren who thou fuck are you telling I love you.

Don't fucking asked me, you have no right to...

I have every fucking right to do that, your are my would be husband, you will not take calls that...

Amelia!

Lauren called In a blink, she pushed the glass shoe of her into the glass door making the door shattered on the floor, Lauren eyes widened, Larry hurry to them, his eyes bulge out, did Amelia just destroy their door.

We will have this conversation tomorrow. Amelia dart out, leaving Lauren and Larry.

What did you do? Larry asked.

Nothing!

What do you mean nothing? She just shattered Mr Daniel's door because of your action

I didn't nothing, I only said I love you.

Wait, did you tell Mandy how you feel about her?

What does it seem?

Damn you, Lauren! Are you mad? Lauren look at Larry like he have no idea of what the boy is saying. You know dad is about to matchmake you with Amelia, do you want to...

Larry, let me be, for the first, let me be happy. He dragged his phone, placing a call to Mandy

Sorry about that bonbon, go on and tell me, you love me. Larry hit his head sightly, as Lauren talk to Mandy through the walkway, this havoc will surely get settle.

The next morning, before anyone could wake up, Lauren is gone, sitting at the dinning, everyone had take their place, except Lauren.

Go get me, Lauren. Daniel said, Larry fall his face. Didn't...

He is gone.

What? Amelia yelled.

Amelia, can you calm down. Merlin said, she pushed the chair.

I am out of here, you all should meet me at the Villa, what thou fuck did Lauren take me for. Since the princess of the family is mad, Mr Cooper and his wife stood up.

We are sorry, we have to leave. Mr Cooper said

We too are sorry for our son's behavior. He nod as he exit the door with his family.

What arrogant? I can believe that is the girl, you want for my son. Daniella said, for the first time, she wants to go against her husband decision.

What did you say? Daniel eyes is cold, she press her lips together.

Darling, this girl is... Daniel slapped his hand across Daniella's face.

Dad!

Larry called, Lisa rush to Daniella to hold her, Daniel had been the one running the family, no one object to whatever he say.

You should talk to that son of yours, if not, you will get torture, if he go against me.
