Samantha walked downstairs in her comfortable clothes and saw her Mom, Cassandra, and Dad, Liam sitting in the living room with a serious face.

Samantha walked towards them and sat beside Liam.

​​

"Mom, Dad. Is something wrong?" Samantha asked.

"No, Sweetie. Now, tell me how your wrist got cut?" Liam asked.

"Dad, I already told you." Samantha said and Liam signed.

"But, I can't believe it." Liam said and Samantha cleared her throat.

"Dad, it's true. Why will I... Lie to you?" Samantha asked.

"Okay... I believe you." Liam said.

"Did you had your lunch?" Cassandra asked.

"No, mom." Samantha said.

"Ahh! I'm hungry too." Alexi said as she walked downstairs.

"Come, I will serve you." Cassandra said and Samantha and Alexi nodded and everyone went to the dining room.

Cassandra served Alexi and Samantha and they both started eating and She and Liam sat in front of them.

"Sam." Liam called and Samantha looked up at Liam.

"Yes, Dad." Samantha said.

"You know, right? That whatever we do is for your well begin?" Liam asked and Samantha nodded.

"Yes, Dad." Samantha said.

"Btw... Why are we talking about this?" Alexi asked.

"Alexi, can you be calm for a few minutes." Cassandra said sternly and Alexi growled and nodded.

Even though, how grown-up Samantha and Alexi be Cassandra one word will shut the mouths of Samantha's and Alexi's.

"Mom, is everything okay?" Samantha asked.

"Sam, Robert Davis, and Jessica Davis came with a... Proposal." Liam said and Samantha and Alexi frowned.

"What proposal?" Alexi asked.

"They asked for Samantha's hand for marriage with Johnson Davis." Liam said and Samantha's eyes widened and Alexi's spoon falls down from her hand with shock.

"What?" Alexi shouted.

"Alexi, I told you to shut your mouth." Cassandra said.

"Shut my mouth? Are you crazy, Mom? Do you even know, what are you talking about?" Alexi shouted as she got up from the chair.

"Alexi, calm down... We will talk..." Alexi cut off Liam in mid-sentence.

"Calm down, my foot. Can't you say No to them and what arrange marriage? We are living in the 21st Century. Please come out of it. You know, we don't believe in this shitty love then why are you hell adamant to be with someone? And What they know about us that they bought a proposal to our home?" Alexi shouted.

"Alexi, just shut up now. You talked enough. And what are you calling Love a shit? Yes, I agree you saw many love-less marriages and everything is for money but not every marriage is like that. Look at me and your mom. Don't we love each other? It's been 28 years of our marriage but we still are together in good and bad days of our lives and didn't ever leave each other and supported each other in our tough times." Liam said with anger.

"And they liked Samantha's behavior towards. They love, how she respects everyone and we asked Johnson too and he said, Yes too." Cassandra said and a tear falls down from Samantha's eye but she wiped it before anyone sees it.

"What?" Alexi shouted with her wide eyes.s

"Yes, and look, Alexi. I want you girls to settle down and be happy in your lives with your lives ones. Love is a beautiful feeling, sweetheart. No one can't describe it in words. We just need to feel it. Still how many years will you hold on to the sad things? If we hold them then we will not ever be happy, Alexi. We just need to let it go so we can be happy in our future." Liam said.

"Dad, we are happy in our lives. For god's sake just stop it..." Cassandra cut off Alexi in mid-sentence.

"Alexi, shut up now. We don't want to argue with you. I just want you girls to be happy in your lives and for that, we can be selfish too." Cassandra said angrily.

"Mom..." Cassandra again cut off Alexi as she showed her hand to stop her now and looked at Samantha who is still shocked.

"Sam?" Cassandra called but Samantha zoned out.

"Sam..." Liam said as he shook her shoulder and she flinched.

"Ye... Yeah?" Samantha said.

"Sweety, what do you say?" Liam asked Samantha.

"There is nothing to say. Just say no." Alexi said.

"We are not asking for your answer, Alexi. We want to know Samantha's answer." Cassandra said and Alexi rolled her eyes and looked at Samantha to say her No.

"Look, Sam. We will not force you for anything. Johnson is a nice guy and perfect in everything. We are sure that he will keep you happy with everything. We think, he is the person, who loves you and be with you in your happy and bad days." Cassandra said as she took her daughter's, Samantha's hand in hers.

"Yes, Sam. We think Johnson suits you and understand you very well. Yes, we don't know him and his family very well but we know that they are a good person and keep you safe. I'm sure, you will be good with them. We are not forcing you, Sweetie but think about this and tell us about your opinion." Liam said with a small smile and Alexi chuckled.

"As if she is not happy with us?" Alexi mocked.

"Just stop it, Alexi. Enough is enough! I don't want you to talk back to Mom and Dad now. You understand?" Samantha asked angrily.

"Sam, I just..." Samantha cut off Alexi in mid-sentence.

"Yes or not?" Samantha asked sternly and Alexi looked into Samantha's eyes and saw her eyes getting teary and she signed and nodded.

"Yes." Alexi said and Samantha looked at Liam and Cassandra.

"Mom, Dad... Will you be happy if I marry Johnson?" Samantha asked and Liam and Cassandra looked at each other and Alexi's eyes widened at Samantha.

"Yes, Sam but we want your opinion, not ours. We are not forcing you in any way and we understand if you don't want to marry now..." Samantha cut off Liam in mid-sentence.

"Yes." Samantha said and everyone's eyes widened in shock.
