HENRY'S POV:
I woke up short of breath. So, I immediately got up and took my medicine out of my drawer. After he drank his breathing returned to normal. But, I could never sleep again. He thinks of going out and going to Catherine's room I wish, I knew she slept soundly. But he found out it wasn't in the room and the next looked at Nathalie and Cloud's room. They don't have it. I looked at the clock on the wall around midnight but they weren't there yet. I nervously went to the guardhouse to ask them what time his three grandchildren left. But I already heard the roar of the car. I knew they had arrived.
"Where have you been?" Came from the dark side. The full and cold voice, in conjunction with the opening of the lights throughout the Mansion.
"Huh? Grandpa..." They looked at the old man with a cane and he was wearing a robe. They noticed waiting for our arrival. Because we saw mugs on the table.
"We're just gimmicked grandpa," My voice trembled in response. Grandpa's eyes were scary.
"Gimmick? At this time and you don't mind the danger waiting outside!" Angry and in a high tone. They could see the anger in its eyes and a vein coming out of Don's neck.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry!" They are humble. She saw in the peripheral version. The bowing of their heads in fear.
"Because of what you did, I worry about all your safety!" It's still angry.
"Safety? But why can't feel it?" Cloud's bitter answer would worry him.
"What are you saying?" His eyes glazed over at Cloui.
"Nothing Grandpa. I'm sorry we left the house without saying goodbye to you. Nothing bad happened to us, we went home safely," Cloui apologized to him. They know how angry.
"Whatever your reason, it is still dangerous outside and I don't want to hurt you three!" His answer. But calm down.. even though I'm still spraying them.
They do not move.
It took a deep breath as neither of them spoke. Their mouths remained shut, for whatever reason they had. It will not accept.
"Get your room!" He chases away in a calm voice. They entered their rooms to finish their conversation.
"Catherine stays here," I call to her. It stopped and faced again with a bow.
"Grandpa.." The girl was nervous. It saw me sit on the sofa as my hands rested on the top of the cane I was holding.
"Do you know, I'm disappointed. I thought you were different from your cousins. But I'm wrong!" I said bitterly looking at him.
"I'm sorry Grandpa..." She replied shyly.
"What else can I do?" Disappointed I answer. I took a deep breath.
"Catherine I'm old now," In a low voice I said. My eyes staring at the maiden's face until now she still hadn't looked up.
"What do you mean Grandpa?" She feels nervous.
"I want you to get married and I think you're at the right age," he replied bluntly.
Catherine could not answer immediately. She didn't know, but she could feel it. She is not ready to get married yet. She still has a lot of plans in life and she hasn't done it yet.
"Catharine..." Provoked her silence.
"Steven hasn't proposed to me, Grandpa..." She answered hesitantly.
"I've already talked to Steven. He wants to get married soon. But he's only worried about you maybe you're not ready yet," I replied to her. I want him to be quiet in case something happens to me. Rest assured my will leaves the surface of the world.
"Grandpa..." She whispered.
"Catherine you need Steven. I think he suits you and you've been dating for a long time what else are you looking for?" astonished I asked him.
It was as if everything was planned and she had nothing more to think about. But why is there a part of her mind that refuses to get married?
"Sighed, I think about it," She insisted on answering.
Do I leave why she is not happy with the word marriage? Because maybe she's not ready yet.
It sighed before nodding.
"All right. If that's what you want," He said tiredly.
____ (° °) ______
"What? Grandpa wants you and Steven to get married immediately!" Shocked by Cloud's voice. When they had breakfast together three in the garden. It's Sunday so they don't go to the office.
"Yes," Catherine shrugged in response as I put Ham in the sandwich after, I eat immediately.
"Then, what is your answer about what Lolo wants?" Nathalie asked curiously after putting a hotdog on her plate and eating it.
"I said, I think about it first," Catherine didn't want to answer.
"What!?" Cloud's shocked reaction to what she said. Nathalie turned to them at once.
"Why did you say that! She must agree to that, he is your total fiance," Cloui reacted.
"Hey, Cloui calm down and sit down so you can reach there," I said confused.
"How come.. you don't think that when you don't agree with Grandpa's wishes... me or Nathalie he will look for a blind date with one of his acquaintances, Oh My God!" She said artfully wiping her face with her hands.
"Don't panic there. He hasn't chosen anything for you yet," I replied with a smile.
"What's wrong! There is.. you remember the day he dressed me nicely and his staff fixed me, I'm not aware of what happened. I just know I didn't agree. He took me there to Grandpa's acquaintance who had a young son. My god.. my blood is even higher for the arrogant man! He even told me that I looked ugly and gay. That naughty man!" Cloui annoyed the story. As she remembered that ugly day.
"He's handsome, didn't you say he looks like the deceased actor Rico Yan." Smiling I said.
"Did I say that?" Dead maliciously she answered us.
"Yes!" I answered smiling.
"Argh!! I hate him, he looks like a monkey in my eyes!" Frustrating it says tweaking one's hair, remembering the first day of meeting the man. How ruined her day. She will never forget that.
"I just don't like Grandpa here with me. Besides, Catherine, you made the right decision.
When Catherine looked at her hand she was swallowed by saliva. Why does she seems to feel So, strange to Nathalie that seem to feel bad?
"Because you still think of him," Cloui immediately responded to what Nathalie said. You can see in her eyes the hidden sadness of that moment. But eventually, it was the first to look down on them. Take a deep breath.
"No! I have long forgotten of him. I already want someone else. But..." She said and smiled. Wondering if she would say it or not.
"Ahm.. is short say ah! You didn't tell us anything!" curious we ask Nathalie to finally have something she likes.
"Who?" We joint. It has gone through a lot in life. She can't blame her if she rejects the men Grandpa introduced to them here. But if it's true that someone else is breastfeeding, it will be good for him.
"Secret! Excuse us," Cloui and I gaped. Nathalie is a type of person who is secretive and can't read what her brain is running, it's like the weather is just changing the mood.
"Agh!" Cloui was pissed at the distant girl. She was just shaken.
"You know Cath.. because the Ashton Industries company news that you will replace Grandpa as CEO. Why don't you do it completely? Give him a break and agree not to let anyone else get in there," She whispered and deliberately raised Cloud's voice. She knew Natalie was interested in that position.
"Excuse me I heard that! Why is that sure?" Cloui raised an eyebrow at them, addressing them with a protest in her voice.
"Secret!" Cloui replied in return. The mark on Nathalie's face could not be painted. Because of annoyance.
