Autumn looked at the father. There was unease and suspicion in the look of his gray eyes. I don't know what Edgar's gonna talk to Benjamin about. However, of course Autumn did not want to think badly of her own father.
"Are you sure you're going to accept Benjamin Royce's proposal?" edgar asked who reminded his daughter. "Remember, Elle. Marriage is not like a relationship, where you can ignore your lover after feeling bored. In marriage, you can't behave like that" said Edgar, who immediately made Autumn frown.
"What do you mean, Dad?" ask the girl not to understand.
"What I mean? My point is that yesterday there was a young man named Leonardo Orville talking about your relationship with him. He felt neglected and wanted clarity" Edgar stared at the princess.
"Leon?" Autumn knitted her brows.
"So you know him?"
"Yes, he .. he .. ah. I don't want to talk about it," declined lazy Autumn.
"When did you know him?" ask Edgar. I don't know what got the guy interested in talking about Leon.
"It's been a while, but I'm really lazy to talk about it," Autumn put up an uncomfortable mimic at the time.
However, Edgar still looked curious. "Do you know her parents?" look at the gray-eyed man.
Autumn immediately shook her head. "I never met them. However, as far as I know Leon's father is a native of France, while his mother is from Guadalajara Mexico. Leon once asked me to meet them, but I wasn't ready. Anyway, I heard her father was very sick" the girl explained. "Why are you interested in knowing about Leon?" tanyanya full of search.
"It's okay. A glance at the young man's face reminded me of someone," Edgar replied flatly. A moment later, he corrected his sitting posture. "Elle, I once again urge you to rethink before accepting Benjamin Royce's proposal," Edgar returned to the topic of the original discussion.
"Allow me to learn to make decisions, Dad. For you, I may still be a child who knows nothing. But I am twenty-two years old. Jolene got married yesterday, so what's wrong with me doing the same thing? My career and goals can still be achieved later. I'm sure Ben isn't an old-fashioned-minded guy. He is a smart man and very modern. I think Dad must have known that," Autumn said trying to convince the father.
"If Ben's past bothers you so much, then I can't do anything about it. No matter how much Ben or I worked hard to change it, we would only be considered the dumbest couple in the world. One thing is for sure, I love and accept the man with everything that is in him. Everything Ben has done so far has been more than enough and made me so flattered, "Autumn is so lazy to continue discussing the same issue and as if without clarity for her.
"Are you ready to take care of the kid Benjamin brought in?" edgar's question seemed to challenge Autumn.
"I really appreciate your decision, Elle. I'm glad that you could finally decide something for your life. Therefore, whatever consequences you will face later, then face it yourself and never involve me or your mother. You have to learn to finish it yourself" Edgar said. "This is the first major decision you've made, Elle. I won't oppose it, even if I'm honest that I don't like it as much" the man said inside.
"Learn to believe in your children's abilities, Father. Darren and I are not kids anymore. We have had a fairly mature mind although it is not uncommon to make mistakes that are so ridiculous. However, I just want to learn to be able to be much more mature," Autumn said slowly but firmly.
"alright. Your mother didn't want to have a disagreement between us. I don't expect any trouble with him either. You should know that I agree with the decision you made not because you let go with Benjamin Royce, but because I didn't want to make your mother sad. So, as much as possible never put your mother in a great guilt, because it has made me have to agree to the marriage of the two of you" Edgar said.
Before responding to his father's stern remarks, Autumn seemed to be silent for a moment. However, all the decisions he had taken were something he did not have to regret, let alone to be pulled back. A strong feeling of love between him and Benjamin, is a strong pillar and sustains the beautiful building that will manifest itself in real life with the thirty-five year old man. "We'll see how much I can prove myself in front of you and your mother" said Autumn again reassured herself and her father. He ignored the ugly shadow over Fleur's unfriendly attitude towards him.
......................
That afternoon, Edgar came to The Royal Royce's office. His intention was none other than to meet the owner of the company, who happened to be there. With great pleasure, Benjamin welcomed his future father-in-law. Warm and friendly, a charming smile is developed perfectly on the look of his stunning look with all the beauty in the man.
"You want something to drink, Mr Hillaire?" bargain Benjamin who followed sat down, having first invited his guest. The attitude and gestures both look the same, so dignified and so elegant.
"No need. I'm not going to linger here" Edgar refused much more subtly than the attitude he had shown before. "I hope you're not busy, because I want to talk about your proposal for my daughter Autumn" Edgar stared intently at Benjamin.
"Ah, sure. I've always had plenty of time for something related to your daughter" Benjamin said with a calm smile.
"Excellent," Edgar replied with a small smile at the corner of his lips. "Alright, enough of the bases," Edgar mendehem softly with a sitting position that looks so dashing. "Tell me, how old is your daughter right now?"
Hearing the question, Benjamin was silent for a moment. He was happy that Edgar finally found out. That way, he did not have to explain anything to his future father-in-law. "My daughter's age is ten years old" the copper-haired man replied.
"It's pretty big apparently. So, where's your daughter's mother? I heard that you and that woman were never married" Edgar, who was interrogating Benjamin, said.
"You're right. Me and the late Samantha were never bound by the sacred promise of marriage. At first, it became something I regretted. However, not again after I get to know your daughter. Therefore, for this time I do not want to return to regret because I can not enjoy the beauty of being together with the woman I love. In any case, I will still try to be able to get the blessing of you and Ms. Hillaire," said Benjamin still with his attitude that looks so calm.
There was a rather cynical smile on Edgar's face. In a way, he actually admired Benjamin so much and never doubted the man's ability. However, on the other hand he also felt an overwhelming anxiety about having to give up the only daughter he had against a man he did not trust completely. "alright. I just want to see my daughter happy. If you can make it that way, then I'll give up Elle for you to edit. However, just once I heard you hurt her, then I made sure it would be the end of your peace of life!" threaten Edgar so seriously.
