Chapter 324 - Suddenly Proposed
Feeling nervous and afraid because he had hidden a girl in his apartment, Keenan walked into the living room where all eyes were on him as if he was the most awaited. Indeed, he had to explain to all of them who Jasmine was.
"Where have you been?" asked Luna curtly looking at Keenan meaningfully. Yes, of course, the woman was disappointed because the son, who was believed to have a polite and honest attitude and respect for women, actually took the woman secretly to his private apartment.
"I just helped Aldric, Mom," replied Keenan with his eyes fixed on Jasmine who was sitting next to Keyra. The girl lowered her head and clenched her hands that were probably already sweating cold.
"Sit down, we have to get this all clear," Ethan said wisely.
Keenan immediately sat on the single sofa, next to Jasmine and Keyra, while Ethan and Luna were on the sofa next to him.
"Kèenan, who is this girl?" asked Luna with a probing look.
"She's my friend, Mom," answered Keenan straightforwardly because he was still only friends with Jasmine.
"Oh, friend. Then how come she can live in your apartment, wearing a necklace that Mommy gave especially for your future wife? Do you want to marry her?" Luna asked again, this time more firmly.
Jasmine and Keyra just sat in silence listening to the conversation and looking for honesty in Keenan's eyes.
"I helped her and about the necklace...." Keenan stammered a bit because he also didn't understand why he felt he had to give the necklace to Jasmine. could it be because of love? He had to find that answer right now from the bottom of his heart.
"Be honest, Keenan. Don't make an innocent and beautiful girl like her wait too long, you even have the heart to leave her alone in fear," said Keyra, who had been aware of Jashmine's fear which was even shaking now.
"I like it, Mom. I feel I have to give the necklace to her," said Keenan, finally making up his mind.
Jasmine's face which had been downcast immediately looked at Keenan who said his feelings openly in front of his parents. Is this a dream? jasmine felt butterflies flying in his face. For a moment she was pleased with Keenan's bravery, but in an instant, the pleasure faded because the image of her being just a daughter of a pimp again reminded her that she was far different from the Keenan family.
"Do you love her?" asked Ethan casually as he sat still with his legs crossed.
Keenan glanced at Jasmine again, at the same time the one who was being looked at did the same thing until their eyes met.
Keenan imagined that if he didn't say he loved Jasmine, maybe later she would be asked not to live near him, not be able to freely meet her or even her sly mother could take it back and give it to that damn Marco.
No! Keenan won't let any of that happen. Because just by looking at the sadness in Jasmine's eyes he already felt the pain, moreover he was still curious about Marta who didn't look like Jasmine, he felt he had to find out whether the pimp woman was Jashmine's biological mother or not.
"Keenan," Luna called because Keenan was lost in thought while looking at Jasmine.
"Yeah, I love her, Mom. I can't let her almost be arranged with a man who will only make her a mistress, that's why I helped and bring her to the apartment," explained Keenan with full of confidence proclaiming his love.
"Oh wow, that's so cool. Then why don't you marry her? why even keep it without status?" Keyra asked in a sarcastic tone.
"I don't think mom and dad will agree because I just got a bachelor's degree and just got a mandate as the second CEO," explained Keenan.
'Second CEO?' Jasmine thought in disbelief. it turned out that the one who had been with her all this time was a CEO, so she didn't wonder why Keenan had so much money. Moreover, this family seems like a conglomerate.
"Mommy is even disappointed because you brought random someone's daughter," said Luna with a groan.
"You should get married as soon as possible," she continued without much thought because she didn't want something like her past pregnancy out of wedlock to happen to that innocent girl.
Keyra smiled as if her heart was cheering because she would get a sister-in-law who could be her friend too, while Jasmine was still looking down, worried about what if Keenan's parents found out about her origins.
"I will marry her, Mom. But let her answer whether her willingness to marry me or not," Keenan exclaimed while glancing at Jasmine with a meaningful look. Even though he had things for Jasmine that he had bought, he still wanted the honesty of the girl to marry him or not.
Luna's gaze softened on the nervous Jasmine, she approached and rubbed the innocent girl's shoulder. "Do you want to marry Keenan?" She asked.
"Sure enough, we will be sisters and I'm sure that Keenan loves you," said Keyra. She was exasperated at Jasmine who took too long to answer. Uhh, the girl is impatient.
"Keyra, let her think," Ethan exclaimed as he looked at his wife and daughter who were sitting around Jasmine.
Luna returned to her position beside Ethan, while Keyra was still beside Jasmine.
"If you can't accept me, that's okay, because feelings can't be forced," said Keenan steadfastly. It hurt him to see Jasmine's silence. And maybe his struggle to hide the girl will end here.
Jasmine immediately looked at Keenan who looked disappointed. no! She did not like to see the sadness on the face of the man who had sincerely helped her. A comfortable place to live spent a lot of clothes, all the necessities, willing to spend one billion dollars, a new smartphone, even a diamond with a very fantastic value which was only intended for a prospective wife had been given to her by Keenan. jasmine felt she had no reason to refuse.
'Maybe he loves me. And I . . . I'm very comfortable around him.'
"Jasmine, if you're not ready to answer yet, we'll give you some time to think. think calmly, because marriage is a sacred thing and only happens once in a lifetime," said Ethan wisely.
Luna nodded. Keyra took a deep breath as she couldn't wait for an answer. however, what needed to be answered was Keenan who was now silent looking at Jasmine with a meaningful look.
Jasmine took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. She dared to look at all the eyes that were on her waiting for an answer.
"I'm sorry because I ... I have surprised you guys, but what happened between me and Keenan did start by accident. Keenan saved me." Jasmine's words stopped. She seemed to have forgotten her dialogue.
"I just realized that Keenan loves me and it was revealed in front of all of you, I feel lucky and...." Jasmine was getting nervous.
Keenan glanced at Jasmine expectantly. Likewise Keyra and Luna, feel they have to get Jasmine as a wife for Keenan because they see the girl as very innocent and pure.
"I ... I am willing to marry Keenan," said Jasmine, then lowered her eyes and closed her eyes. She had just made a big decision and regarding her low and bad status in the eyes of society, she would accept it if the Keenan family didn't accept her.
A smile grew on Keenan's lips. keyra immediately embraced Jasmine from the side. "Finally I will have a sister."
How about Luna? Luna smiled in relief because finally, Keenan chose a wife who was not from among the bar girls who liked to seek attention here and there, acting friendly.
Ethan also felt relieved and smiled proudly at Keenan's courage at the age of only 23 years. Because for him, age is just an identity.
Keenan got up from the sofa then stretched out his hand to Jasmine. "We need to talk for a bit."
jasmine glanced at Luna and Keyra who smiled and nodded as if permitting to talk to Keenan who is now future husband. She looked up to accept Keenan's hand.
Jasmine and Keenan immediately walked out of the living room with their hands still holding on. keyra smiled seeing that her twin had found a mate, it crossed her mind that if Aaron was gentle like Keenan, she would be happy like Jasmine.
