Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 616: Love Is Blind

While Ethan was chatting with Sebastian and his Other Half about the battle that took place several hours ago, George had arrived in Sabrina's hometown.

He visited his family for a bit to tell them that he now had a girlfriend, but all of them just laughed and said, "Nice joke!"

No matter how hard he tried to explain that he was telling the truth, his family thought that this was just one of the pranks he usually pulled whenever he returned home at the end of the school year.

His parents even told him that if he really had a girlfriend, he should bring her home, so that all of them could meet her.

Accepting their challenge, George left home and went to visit his girlfriend as promised.

His Family bid him goodbye, thinking that he was just throwing a tantrum.

Of course, he didn't come unannounced. He made sure to send Sabrina a letter telling her that he would now keep his promise to her to meet her parents.

Sabrina even replied back to him and said that her family was waiting for him to come and see them.

"Good looks, check. Dashing smile, check!" George said as he looked at his handheld mirror. "Gifts, check! Okay, I got everything with me."

George might be the type to goof around most of the time, but he was still a very serious and reliable person. No one just knew about him because of his image.

But now, despite the confident look on his face, he was in fact very nervous.

Extremely nervous.

This was his first time doing something like this, and he felt butterflies wreaking havoc in his stomach.

Even so, he endured and hailed a carriage that would take him to his destination.

"Nice to meet you, Sir," George said. "My name is George Marshall. I'm also your daughter's awesome boyfriend."

The teenage boy looked at the mirror in front of him as he practiced his greeting.

"It's a bit stiff," George rubbed his chin. "Should I make it less informal?"

"Nice to meet you, Sir. My name is George, and I came here to sweep your daughter off of her feet. Please, give me your blessing!"

"Sir, George is the name, and making buns is my game. How many grandkids do you wish to have? Do you like Soccer? What a coincidence, I like it, too!"

"Good morning, Dad. Sabrina calls me Daddy as well!"

The coachman couldn't help but shake his head helplessly because he felt like he had taken in a weirdo.

'I just hope he has money,' the Coachman thought as he urged his horses to trot faster so that they would arrive at their destination quickly.

After nearly half an hour in the carriage, they finally arrived at a modest-sized home, located on the outskirts of the town of Greendale.

George paid the fee before taking a few steps forward to admire the home of his girlfriend.

'It's okay, George,' he thought as he took several deep breaths. 'You got this, champ. Just head there and make a first good impression!'

After practicing so much inside the carriage, George steeled himself and finally walked toward the door of the house. Puffing up his chest, he knocked on it.

His heart was beating wildly inside his chest as he waited for someone to open the door.

When he heard someone say "Coming," the teenage boy felt his stomach do consecutive somersaults, almost making him stagger.

Out of habit, he took out his Axe because holding it makes him calm down.

When the door opened, Sabrina looked at George with wide eyes.

The teenage boy was holding an Axe in his hand and a smile on his face, which was something that an ordinary person opening a door would normally be horrified to see.

But Sabrina wasn't a normal person, so when she saw her boyfriend, the first thing she did was stand on tiptoe to kiss his right cheek, making all the nervousness George was feeling disappear completely.

Returning his Axe on his storage ring, George hugged his girlfriend and kissed her forehead before whispering "I love you," in her ears.

The two retained their hugging posture for nearly two minutes before they heard someone clearing his throat from inside the house.

"Dad, this is my boyfriend, George," Sabrina said after reluctantly taking a step back from her boyfriend. "George, this is my dad, Edward Rhodes."

Edward narrowed his gaze at George, who was looking back at him with a determined expression on his face.

"Good morning, Sir. My name is George Marshall," George stated. "I came here to bake buns with Sabrina. How many would you like to have, Sir?"

Sabrina blinked once then twice before tilting her head to the side.

"You know how to bake?" Sabrina asked.

"No," George replied. "This is going to be my first time."

"I also don't know how to bake," Sabrina stated. "But, I would like to make some buns with you."

George did a fist pump because he felt that he had already managed to get to fourth base without even doing anything.

Edward, on the other hand, took a step forward before placing his hand on George's shoulder.

The teenage boy could feel how strong the man's grip was, making him understand that if the two of them engaged in a fistfight, his chances of winning were slim.

"Honey, Sabrina isn't lying!" Edward turned around to call his wife. "Her boyfriend, George, isn't one of her imaginary friends!"

"Really?!" Sabrina's mother, Diana Rhodes, appeared and started to pat George's body as if making sure that he was real.

"See? I told you I'm not making things up," Sabrina commented to the side with a smug smile plastered on her face.

"Where are my manners?" Diana said after she confirmed that George was real. "Please, come in. We've been expecting you."

Sabrina's mother didn't even wait for the boy to say anything and dragged him inside the house so that he could meet the rest of their family.

"No way! He is real!"

"Oh my God. Is this a prank?"

"How much did my sister pay you?"

Sabrina's sister and two brothers surrounded George and asked him questions that made him wonder if they were his family members wearing disguises.

They were saying the same stuff his family told him when he declared that he had a girlfriend.

"Please, sit here, George," Diana smiled as she forcefully made George sit at the dining table. "Also, please sign this document. Honey, can you get the quill and the ink?"

"I already have it, darling," Edward replied as he placed the quill and ink beside George.

The teenage boy stared at the document that was laid in front of him and blinked when he saw the words "Marriage Certificate" on the document in front of him.

"Sir, what's the meaning of this?" George asked.

"Oh, it's just a survey form," Edward laughed nervously. "It's not like we're making you sign it because our daughter Sabrina was rejected two hundred times when we tried our hands at matchmaking."

"My daughter is a very beautiful and charming girl," Diana commented. "Her would-be partners were enamored by her, but the moment she opened her mouth to speak, all of them backed off the agreement. Because of this, we decided to make anyone who was tricked—errr charmed by her sign this survey form to tell us what he liked about her."

"What?" George's eyes widened in disbelief. "Sabrina was rejected two hundred times? Are those people blind? Are they stupid? Did they perhaps have mental issues? How can they reject such a sweet and wonderful girl like her?!"

Sabrina's family looked at George as if he was an endangered species of animal that they were only seeing for the first time due to how rare they were.

Sabrina, on the other hand, lowered her head to look at her feet.

However, a tint of red was spreading on her face, making her look extremely adorable.

"George, I'm sorry." Diana tried to take the Marriage Document from the table because she felt that what she was doing was an underhanded thing.

After hearing George's heartfelt words, she realized that he was right.

Those who rejected her daughter because of her uniqueness didn't deserve her.

Edward was on the same page as his wife and looked at the young man in front of him with respect and admiration.

"Mom, I don't mind signing that Marriage Certificate, but I won't do it yet," George said as he stood up to hug Sabrina and pat her head. "I'm not running away. I will not let others take Sabrina from me, but I want to do this right.

"Will all of you please bless the two of us? I am very serious about her, and I promise that I will cherish her for the rest of my life."

Sabrina's brothers and sister became teary-eyed and gave George a thumbs up in their hearts.

They didn't know what kind of weed their sister had fed the young man, but whatever it was, it convinced them that it was something that they shouldn't feed to other people, even their enemies.

"George, feel free to stay here for as long as you like," Edward said as he looked at the young man, who was hugging his daughter. "You're part of our family now."

Edward and Diana gave each other a knowing smile. A single glance was enough for them to tell that George was a good person.

Their daughter had been alienated by many due to her eccentric behavior. But, after seeing this wonderful scene in front of them, they realized that the age-old saying "love is blind" was real and not just something people said in a casual manner.

Sabrina, who had been hugged by George, wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest.

For some reason, her chest felt warm, and she felt fluffy inside.

And she wished that this feeling that she was feeling at the moment, would remain with her until the end of time.
