. . .

Early the next morning, An was a wake by four . he freshened up, got into the fridge to have something to eat . by the time he got out, it was already a half past six .

aunt Xia was already out side before his arrival at large metal gate .

"am I late again? he asked as he opened up the small entry on the gate .

"No, at least not like last time . have you had breakfast yet? Miss Xia asked .

yes, the one that you left in the fridge but I have left you some, just in case your hungry .

"thanks but am not", you better go finish it up

or else it will be wastage of food . we're here already!

when am with you time tends to fly so fast and worst of all is that I don't know why .

"it's just jealous of me!!

why??!, have you become G.o.d without my knowledge or?

"am not G.o.d but I have you here . is it not a good reason for it to be jealous? he asked jokingly as he pushed the door behind them after entering the house .

I have many things I want to talk to you about . will that be possible to day?

"sure"

Call me when you're done here . I will be in the garden for now but don't forget to rest since you woke up so early to reach here on time .

" I will," as soon as am done .

. . . . .

Has old Han contacted you yet about that boy's match? or do we have to wait until that girl makes up her mind? what a joke! An kaira asked his father's a.s.sistant angrily .

"I think so, but your father ordered me to arrange for the wedding as if he is so sure about their wound be reply .

"if he said so then why wait to get started"

okay, I will be heading out for now .

. . . . .

Inform the An family to arrange the wedding . the wedding will be a cival one and the wedding itself is to be there in four days' time .

"I will do as you say . Lu answered after listening to old Han's orders .

"Everything will be set as you wish but don't hesitate just in case you change your mind about anything . old Han said as he looked at his daughter lovingly .

"I won't"

"you can now go and prepare yourself for the coming days . they might put a lot of pressure on to you and please try to control your movements for now since you will be a bride soon .

I don't need a grand wedding . Roline said before heading to her room .

let me hope everything go as planned or else . . . . my life will be a total mess . she thought to herself as she locked the door behind her .

The wedding was due to take place on a Sat.u.r.day which meant that they had no much time left since it was a Tuesday but of course, with money everything is possible on planet Earth!

. . .

late that day, aunt Xia woke up from her nap and headed to the garden . An was seated on a swing . seemingly in much thought .

"what's on your mind?" you're never like this .

uncle took me to see a girl . she's called Roline . everyone in her house looks at her as if . . . she has a world treasure on her .

she asked me whether I had a lover but . . . I didn't know how to answer . can you tell me what all this is about?

at least I can count on you to know something .

Dear, did you hear anything apart from those questions?

I did but I didn't understand a thing from them . An answered after listening to aunt Xia's question .

"Now listen to me"

An, you're now a grown up person . it's also right for you to marry someone .

"Is it a must for one to marry?"

yes, and that's because you need to have your own family . I won't be here to take care of you forever . do you understand what I mean?

"but why did uncle choose her? I don't think she knows anything according to the way she's being treated at her home .

An, listen to me . there things that she can do for you that I can't . and there those that she can't but don't forget that there people who can do those other things she can't do .

I'm maid in this mansion and if your mother was still here, I would still be here or someone else . so as to help her out .

"what kind of things can she do for me that you can't?" An asked looking straight at aunt Xia's face .
