Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 293 - Asking For The Hand Of The Lady Part 1

         Agatha quickly took a bath, even shaved her legs when there's nothing to shave and then make sure that she uses her femme wash that cools her down there. She's in a rush when Sarah entered the room. Sarah laughed and Agatha pouted at her sister.

"Come on! Help me with this."

"Why are you in so rush? Dmitri likes you even though you don't have any makeup on."

"I don't care. I want to look beautiful in front of him than anyone else."

         Sarah put light make up on her and then she wears her hair as it is after she combed, and blow dry it with the help of her sister. She rummaged in the closet choosing what to wear. She checked the dresses and Sarah reached the white off-shoulder dress and a long sleeve lace.

"Perfect!" She grabbed it and she didn't wear any bra since it's already attached to it. Then she wears, stripping in front of her sister without any care and reached the new Louboutin silver shoes that Dmitri send to her as a gift. She sighed and faced the mirror.

         She immediately strode fast downstairs and the men are talking on the sofa. Freya and Steven are there, also Fin and Selina. Dmitri looked up at her and with that sparkling smile together with his eyes, twinkles. Then she gave the same smile to him. He stood and he muttered an excuse as he walked to her to meet her.

         He extended his hand to her and she reached it for the last step and she quickly wrapped herself around him. Sarah and Selina couldn't help but to admire and grinned at them. Eric rolled his eyes as he shook his head. Manuel nodded and Freya only sighed and nudged Steven to stop whatever he's doing to her hair.

"Are you staying for the night? I have plenty of space on my bed." She muttered and they hear her say that. She doesn't care if anyone heard her.

"Agatha," Eric warned her. She still snuggled to his chest and he just held the back of her head and let her hug him since it's been a while. He gently pushed her and kissed her forehead lightly.

"You look stunning." He murmured. "But please, behave my lover."

"Okay." She smiled so wide and then took his hand as he approached them.

         Andromeda, Zachary, and Alexandro witnessed the dramatic entrance of Agatha and how Dmitri approached her in a very gentleman way. Alexandro cleared his throat loudly to get their attention and Dmitri immediately bow his head.

"Dad." He greeted him.

"So, you see old Pattinson. He just called me Dad, so if he and Agatha will have little kids looking like them, it only means that I am also their legal grandfather."

         Andromeda grunted and crossed her arms.

"What's with you old men betting about your grandchildren having children? I mean, how many do you have all in mind?" She asked a little agitated. Zachary snickered and patted her head.

"Give me ten grandchildren and I will not nag at you anymore," Alexandro said. Her eyes widen and then she looked up at Zachary. He covered her mouth and only snickered. She nudged her husband's hard abdominal and frowned.

"What are they talking about?" Agatha asked cluelessly. "And he's your dad?"

"I'm adopted." He said to her shortly. He kissed her temple. "Let's greet them formally, shall we?"

         Agatha nodded and she greeted Freya and Fin excitedly. Freya only nodded and hide her yawn. Eden, Sarah, and Owen stepped forward to greet Dmitri and then Dmitri's family which are Freya and Fin and then Old Mondragon.

         They all headed to the dining table and Agatha kept herself attached to Dmitri like a leech. Freya yawned again and didn't care how Agatha become that close to her brother. They settled down to eat something fancy. Different dishes, there are French Cuisine, Italian and then Filipino Cuisines.

"Why are there lots of foods?" Agatha mumbled. Dmitri moved his lips a little close to Agatha and Eric flinched.

He's not used to this. Agatha is never a sweet girl. She's can't withstand affection and she's not someone that would cling to a man and showed so much public display of affection. He reached the Chicken Fricassee that his wife prepared two hours ago. She got helped with their cook and he's wife is just good with different cuisine. Agatha loved French cuisine that's why she cooked her favorites, but it seemed that she doesn't even care about the food. She kept talking to Dmitri and he frowned.

He was supposed to be 'just' a bodyguard, but it seemed that he seduced her well. He noticed how Dmitri talked to her in a very soft way to behave and eat. She eats whatever food he put on her plate. Edna smiled as her appetite grows. She rarely eats these past few days.

"So, when are we going to set for the wedding?" Manuel asked and they all looked at Dmitri and Agatha.

         Agatha only looked at him innocently.

"I asked him to elope with me to Hawaii, but this man just turned me down," Agatha said and they all darted their eyes to Dmitri who smiled.

"We at least need your blessing. We can just register for Civil if you wanted us to be official. But I think Selina and Fin should get married first." Alex said and glanced at Manuel who creased his brows. He kept himself from laughing.

"It's a bad omen to be married in the same year," Edna muttered. "You two are brothers so, I guess Fin and Selina should get married first since their baby is coming on the way."

"We can just elope anytime as long as he gave me a ring."

         Dmitri chuckled and he reached her hand.

"Lady Agatha, you are way too fast. Let's slow down. Fin and Selina should get married first." Dmitri said to her softly.

         She grunted and then and pouted at Dmitri. Eric rolled his eyes once more. The first time that he saw his daughter acting so childish around Dmitri.

         Selina grinned as she watched Agatha being so childish around Dmitri. She couldn't help but laugh. Fin loved the way she laughed so he couldn't help but laugh a little. Agatha frowned more and stared at her food, she's like a child that hasn't been given what she wanted.

"Grandpa, I think they should get married first. I am in no rush at all. Besides, there's so much catastrophe happening this year. I better get married next year to see a good outcome." Selina offered. Alex shrugged his shoulder.

"Well, if Manuel is really that in rush to have a grandchild, then let's work this out."

"Oh, come on! Please, we will talk about this." She slumped her shoulder and turn to Dmitri. "Stay tonight, okay?"

         Dmitri glanced at Eric who dropped his fork and spoon. He exhaled. His chest couldn't take it. Since when did his daughter become like this? Is she possessed or something?

         Andromeda and Zachary just relax, eat and enjoy the show. They didn't comment like Steven and Freya who is amused by everything. It's a headache.

"Agatha." Eric's voice raises and everyone shuts up.

Owen and Sarah are shock-like their parents. They looked at each other and then to Agatha. Manuel smiled and nodded.

"You can stay, Dmitri," Manuel said and Alexandro frowned at the old man.

"Dad!" Eric exclaimed. "They aren't married yet and not in the house. I won't agree to this."

"I'll just go with Dmitri then," Agatha said like it's nothing. If Eric had a heart malfunction, he already might be dead because of a heart attack.

"Agatha," Dmitri called her softly. "Don't be stubborn, I'll visit you."

"No. Just take me with you. I'll take care of you. Besides, your wound hasn't healed yet."

         It hasn't healed but he could walk straight now though it's still painful. Dmitri looked at them. Eric sighed and looked at his wife who only shrugged.

"You have no say to this?" Eric asked Edna.

"Well, it's better to have Dmitri around. She kept herself locked in her room and didn't have a big appetite to eat. She already loses weight, Eric. Don't be as stubborn as hell. Besides that, they are adults." Edna said and Agatha's smile almost turned into a smirk.

         Eric hands up and shook his head. Then he called for the maids to prepare the guest room in the east wing, away from Agatha's room. Agatha bit her lip. Well, it's better like that. She can just sneak into Dmitri's room later at night.

"It's fine, Sir. I can just visit Agatha tomorrow." Dmitri said to Eric before the maids left.

"No!" Agatha reached his hand. "You are staying here."

"But—I have to—"

"That's final!" She said stubbornly. Dmitri looked at Alexandro who only laughed.

"Just stay, Uncle," Andromeda said and she laughed. Dmitri flushed a little and he's not used at Andromeda calling him uncle. He's only a few years older than her. "I mean, Agatha's mood will lighten up."

         Agatha nodded and winked at Andromeda.

"Oh, this is crazy." Owen and Freya muttered at the same time. They looked at each other and shrugged.
