Tonight, Felix successfully confuses Roxanne with all her attitude. Starting from suddenly silencing her, suddenly cheerful, suddenly acting cute. Even, Felix kissed his forehead. Gosh, of course that makes Roxanne embarrassed. Not finished, he even suddenly wanted to talk to Dad mysteriously. Not only that. Felix even brought his friend just to talk to Dad.
"So what do you want to say?" Adrien asked.
He saw Felix turn to his friend Arthur, like giving a code to speak first.
"Well, Mr. Collin. I didn't even know I should tell you this quickly. Of course I haven't prepared a good sentence for this. I really respect you as Dad's precious friend to him. Even, you guys made an arranged marriage between me and one of your children. Roxanne. " Arthur explained.
Suddenly, Roxanne and her three siblings were surprised to hear the statement spoken by Arthur. Of course Roxanne is not aware of this problem. Before she could find out who she was set up with, Roxanne had asked her father to reject this arranged marriage. She felt, her father had not told the man.
"Um, but I apologize profusely, sir. I cannot accept this arranged marriage. I have spoken to Dad, and he has given me the freedom to choose my life partner. I am very sorry to say it at times like this, sir. I wish you can understand and respect my decision. " Arthur continued straightforwardly.
All was silent. Dad seemed to think for a while. Roxanne's lips couldn't even utter a word. This surprised her too much.
"I think you and your father have made the right decision, at least you told me first. Actually, Roxanne herself did not want to join this arranged marriage, but I was too ashamed to say it to your father. Thank God you came." Roxanne's father replied with a smile. Then, he leaned over. "Then what about you, Felix?" he asked.
Roxanne glanced at Felix briefly. She was confused why her father asked Felix like that.
"I guess you also must not know anything about your arranged marriage, it is clear how you reacted just now." his father continued, smiling.
Arranged marriage? What is this? Is matchmaking now one of the parents' favorite? Is Felix also having an arranged marriage? Roxanne really wanted to know the answers to all the questions in her brain.
Felix is confused why Roxanne's father asked him for an arranged marriage. He knew he was having an arranged marriage with someone, at first. He had refused and he had even told his family that he liked a woman.
"Yes, I did have an arranged marriage with someone before. I only knew that. I don't know who the woman I was going to be arranged with, but I already refused." explained Felix.
It was clear how Roxanne's father and mother looked surprised by what Felix had just explained.
"So, you don't know who that woman is yet? Gosh, this is really a coincidence, Son. To be honest, when you didn't say your surname to me then, I already knew about you first." said Roxanne's father. Felix and Arthur looked at each other.
No exception Roxanne, who felt unable to say another word in the midst of this ridiculous condition. Thinking back, it's no wonder that at that time, her father was more familiar with Felix, despite on her father's sociable nature.
"Last night I told Victorina, Roxanne's sister if she was the one I was going to match. Indeed I also deliberately did not tell if the person I was going to match was you, but after that, Victorina and Roxanne instead refused their arranged marriage, then how could that be? You don't even know who we're going to match, you guys even cancel each other's matches. " Adrien explained while laughing amused by this situation.
It's clear that everyone here has just realized some truth from the parents' matchmaking.
Suddenly Felix and Arthur laugh with Roxanne's father. "Gosh, this is ridiculous, Dad," said Felix still laughing.
Aware of the plan he had to continue, Felix stopped laughing, leaving a sweet smile on his face. Then, he turned to Roxanne. Roxanne also turned to look. Shortly thereafter, he immediately looked back at Roxanne's father, because of his awkwardness.
"Dad, I want to tell you something important, and I want everyone here to hear it clearly, including you, Roxy." said Felix while glancing at Roxanne and glancing back at Adrien seriously.
Roxanne admit this is indeed very ridiculous. Plus, when he saw Felix, Arthur, and his father laughing together like that. Mother, Victorina, and Jeanette still do not understand if only Victor did not explain it with a little laugh.
Something unexpected happened. When Felix stopped laughing and showed her sweet smile to Roxanne, it was as if there were only the two of them in this room. The next thing that happened also made Roxanne close her mouth wide open due to Felix's words which, according to her, made no sense.
"I did cancel the arranged marriage, Dad, but I canceled it for some reason." said Felix.
"And what is your reason, Son?" Roxanne's father asked.
"I like Roxanne, ah, no, it doesn't even seem like it, but I love her." Felix answered while staring at Roxanne with his smile.
Come on, they even met only a few days ago, and Felix dared to say love to her? To her family? Roxane even still had to confirm her feelings first every time she met with Felix. Like this time. Of course Roxanne was shocked to death. The atmosphere returned to silence. Not because of her hallucinations like when she made eye contact with Felix - as it is now - but no one spoke except for Victor's cup which had fallen and Jeanette's whistling - which Roxanne was convinced of her for many times.
