BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56: Accepted?
"Liam, please." Cassandra said.
"Let me talk, Cassandra. I don't want to give my daughter to someone without knowing anything." Liam said and a tear falls down from Cassandra's eyes.
"Please. Don't do this. I know, she will be happy with him." Cassandra said.
"Cassandra, I told you to let me talk." Liam said and Cassandra signed and nodded slowly.
"So, tell me, Johnson." Liam said and Johnson gave him a small smile.
"I know that it's impossible to believe that I fell in love with Samantha in just 5 days of meeting her. But, it's true. I fell in love. I always wanted to fall in love and want to feel it. I always wanted to create a family. My own family and that feeling I got from Samantha.
This heart beats fast whenever I think about her and something feels good just listening to her voice and wanted to keep her close me. Always. I want to take her worries away and wanted to keep her safe in my arms." Johnson said with a smile and Cassandra smiled big but Liam just kept looking at Johnson.
"Even though, she has a past? I don't mind it. Everyone has one... Even me. But, I will listen to her if she wants to tells me. I know, marriage is a big responsibility but I am ready to take it up.
But, I am not forcing anyone. Not you nor Samantha. If she is ready to marry me. I will but if she don't? I will stay away from her." Johnson said with a small smile and Liam released a heavy breath and kept his head in hands.
"I really don't know, what to say now!" Liam said.
"Liam, let's... Accept it." Cassandra said.
"Cassandra, are you mad? How can you accept the proposal without asking your daughter? Aren't you begin selfish?" Liam asked and tears fall down from Cassandra's eyes.
"Liam, if my daughter is getting a person who loves more than anything in this world then I'm selfish. I want my daughter to be happy in her life for that I will be selfish as her mother. If she is getting an awesome husband like Johnson who keeps her safe always then I will be selfish. I just want my daughter to be happy and that's what matters to me.
I trust Johnson and his love for Samantha and I believe that he will make my daughter fall in love with him." Cassandra said with tears and Liam signed and wiped Cassandra's eyes.
"Look, Cassandra. You know, what I am thinking about? You know as a father I need to ask my daughter's opinion on this proposal and that opinion matters to me." Liam replied calmly.
"So, you accept Johnson?" Cassandra asked and Liam signed.
"If my daughter says Yes. Then, I will accept him too because I don't want to give them any false hope." Liam said and Cassandra nodded and Liam smiled and looked at Robert.
"Robert, look. I know, you are good people, and listening to Johnson made me believe that I can trust him with my daughter but I need to ask my daughter too. If she says yes then we are ready to accept the proposal." Liam said with a small smile.
"Okay!" Robert said with a smile.
"Liam." Damon called.
"Did you remember the promise which you did to me 10 years ago that you will help me whenever I need you?" Damon asked and Liam nodded.
"Yes, Damon." Liam said with a small smile.
"Then, I am asking for help from you now." Damon said and Liam nodded.
"I want Samantha to marry Johnson. I am sure he will keep her safe. Please don't get angry that I'm meddling with your daughter's life but I just want Samantha to be safe and feel loved and I guess, Johnson will be perfect for her! Please think about it." Damon said and Liam took a deep breath.
"You are asking me something which I don't have any right to decide, Damon." Liam said.
"I know but I really..." Lucy cut off Damon in mid-sentence as she kept her hand on him to stop him.
"It's okay, Liam. Ask Sam and let her tell her opinion. We are not forcing." Lucy said with a small smile.
"Thank you for understanding, Lucy." Liam said and Lucy nodded with a smile.
"Mrs. Davis, the lunch is served." The maid said and Cassandra nodded and got up from the couch and walked to the dining room.
MEANWHILE:-
"Anna, stop right there." Samantha said by running behind her.
"No, Angel. Catch me." Anna said by struggling with her baby voice.
"If you don't stop right there. I will not talk to you." Samantha said and Anna stopped on the way and looked at Samantha.
"Got you." Samantha said with a laugh as she took her in her arms.
"Haha... Hahaha..." Anna laughed as Samantha tickle her.
"N... No. Stop, Angel." Anna said breathing heavily with a laugh and they both fall down on the grass.
"Ouch. You hurt?" Samantha asked with worry face and Anna shook her head with a big smile.
"Youuu..." Samantha said and tickled her more and Anna started laughing again.
"Angel, Anna." Someone caller and they both turned and saw 17 years old boy.
"Peter." Samantha said.
"What are you doing sleeping there on the grass?" Peter asked.
"Paying." Anna said and Samantha chuckled.
"She means, Playing." Samantha corrected Anna.
"Yeah, Paying." Anna said and Samantha and Peter smiled at her cute innocent words.
Just then, Samantha's phone rang.
Samantha took out from her white Jeans pocket and saw her Mom, Cassandra's number on the screen.
Samantha slides her finger and answered the call.
"Hello, Mom." Samantha said on the phone.
"Hello, Sam... Can you come home evening?" Cassandra asked on the phone.
"Yes, Mom. I want to visit you guys. I will be there in 2 hours from now." Samantha said on the phone.
"Yeah, okay." Cassandra said.
"See you home, Mom," Samantha replied.
"See you, sweetie. Be careful on your way." Cassandra said.
"Yeah, Mom." Samantha said and ended the call.
"I need to go, Peter. Take care of Anna. I will visit next week again." Samantha said and Anna started crying.
"Baby, why you crying?" Samantha asked as she hugged Anna.
"I will mishh you." Anna said.
"Ohh, I will come back soon okay? Be a good girl." Samantha said.
"Take me vish you." Anna said.
"I will sweetie. Soon. Very soon." Samantha said as a tear fall down from her eye and hugged Anna.
