My Inclined Baby

Chapter 22. Abbey Receive

Eric's face was seen meeting with embarrassment. He bowed for a moment and then raised his face as before. Despite being 30 years old, she has an incredible amount of authority.

When compared to Rylee, people would tend to marry his son to Eric. Regardless of it all, every child has a stark difference. Eric was quiet, sometimes cold, and rarely spoke.

While Rylee, he did. It depends on the person treating themselves. Sometimes warm, can also be cruel, and very loving when it suits someone.

"Eric, are you nervous?" ask Arthur.

"Yes, Om. Very nervous." Eric glanced at Dixie, who continued to smile. "Mam, why is that?"

"Mama is happy that finally the matchmaking that we have done for many years, will eventually be met as well. I'm patient enough to look forward to today, Eric," Dixie said.

Philo is too. He was impatient to meet Flo. The woman who will accompany her son.

"At last Flo came back to your house, Arthur. He's been abroad for a long time, yes" Philo said.

"Yes, Philo. I was astonished too. Suddenly he came home and decided to be betrothed to Eric. Like a coincidence I never thought of. May this matchmaking bring happiness to everyone" explained Arthur.

Meanwhile, Blair was heading to Abbey's room. It just so happened that his son was pacing around in the room in anxiety. She also waited for her mother to come to meet her future husband.

"Darling, why do you look so nervous? You're sweating a little." Blair went in and took a tissue. Gently rubbed his daughter's slightly sweaty face. "You better touch up again her makeup. It's not good to see your future in-laws and your future husband."

Abbey's back at her dresser. Wiping the sweat off using another new tissue. Then, she also fixed a bit of her makeup. Before leaving the room, Abbey held her mother's hand tightly.

"Flo, your hands are so cold" said Blair.

"I'm nervous, Mum. Can they accept me?" This question should be asked directly to them, not to their mother.

"You better ask your husband directly. Come all the way here to meet you. How could he refuse." Blair raised his daughter's bowed chin.

A very forced smile. Deep down inside his heart was a gaping wound. It turns out that it's so hard to accept another person without knowing who he really is.

"Mam, I'm scared." Abbey's hand pulled her mother's body back into the room.

"Flo, you're an adult. Whatever decision the man made to come here, he was certain to agree. Even though he's never met you. Trust him, Flo!" Blair was a little annoyed that Flo's spoiled attitude had even come out at such a time.

"Then I ask for conditions, Mam. Please ask that man to come to my room. I want to talk to him with four eyes. If I agree, then we'll go down together" Abbey said.

His goal was to get to know the man more closely. He will also talk about his current situation.

"alright. Then mama has to come down again and bring her here, right? Don't be nervous anymore, yeah! He's so handsome!" praise Blair to Eric.

Abbey nodded. She sat back facing the glass on her dresser. Her face looked chaotic even though the makeup on her face was exquisite.

Meanwhile, when Blair finds out he's back without Flo, everyone wonders. Especially Dixie who was impatient to see her future daughter-in-law.

"Where's flo? We've been waiting for him. Even Eric can't wait to see it" Dixie said.

"Maybe he doesn't want to be with Eric's brother, Mam" said Rylee who looked bored.

"Mam, Flo why?" ask Arthur.

"He asked Eric to meet him first. He said he wanted to speak four eyes. If they agree, they'll go down together" Blair explained, "come on, Eric, come with Auntie!"

Eric got up from his seat. He was trailing behind his future wife's mom. His feelings are getting more and more uncertain. Mixed and confused is whack.

After climbing a few hefty stairs, Eric turned into a long corridor leading to the girl's room.

"Eric, knock on the door and then you come in, yeah," Blair said.

"Good, Aunt. Thank you." Thank you."

"Tante took care of your parents and brother first, yeah. Aunty was nervous to the point of not providing anything." Blair leaves Eric alone.

Eric's hand was approaching the door. He tried to knock three times. He got a reply to the voice of a woman who in a few seconds would be seen in person.

"Please enter!" answer Abbey.

Eric opened the door and left it half closed. He is not comfortable if he has to close as a whole. He stood behind the woman facing the mirror.

"Sit down!" abbey's orders were to stand up and turn her body.

Views collide. It was the first time Eric liked Flo. He was still staring at the woman's face.

"I'll just stand up" Eric refused, "so, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Before you knew me, my name, my age, and all about me. Maybe it was also obtained from my parents who always gave information to you. I won't mince words anymore. What motivations are making you accept this match?" ask Abbey.

"Just simple. I accepted because of the blessing of your parents and my parents. That's it, Flo."

Warm and quite soothing answer. Means the man before her is a responsible figure.

"I'm not a perfect person, nor am I the person you expect me to be. Do you accept all my shortcomings? And my past mistakes? I don't need to explain in detail, but I'm sure that you understand." Abbey simply wanted to know how sincere the man before her would be to accept Abbey as well as her pregnancy.

"I've come this far, Flo. Everyone has a past, and so do I. If I can make peace with your past, you will make peace with my past. The focus of our meeting is to shape the future and forget the past. So, why do you still doubt me, while I'm already sure of you?"

Again the man's answer left Abbey stunned, stunned, and convinced that it was not wrong to choose this matchmaking.

While Eric himself did not introduce himself because he assumed that Flo also already knew his name.

"Then take me to your parents and we continue this matchmaking" Abbey said.

"So you accepted me?" Eric could not believe it. It turned out to be so easy to deal with Flo than what was being thought.

Abbey reached out her hand so that the man could hold her tightly. That proves that Abbey has agreed. While Eric, a little nervous about receiving such a delicate hand and then grasping it tightly.
