wedding for Leo

"I heard that one of my sons met Miss Mulligan, is that true?" Ask big lord Smith

"That's right, sir, at a hotel on the edge of town," said the bodyguard

"I give them the freedom to work, not to have fun... they are just like their mother who loves the world of music until she gets sick and dies. it's all because of music," concluded Mr. Smith.

"You don't always blame Marie Anna, even though she has contributed to you in multiplying your subsidiaries, right?" The voice of his father suddenly made Mr. Smith turn around and stand up and salute him

"Since when have you been there father?" the question

Master Arthuro chuckled and walked slowly while being supported by a wooden staff with a golden head and red sapphire eyes.

"I just came after I attended the coronation of the crown prince this afternoon...you alone? Why didn't you attend?" Ask his father curious

"Your brother is worried about your condition to the point that she asked me to come and check on your condition" Master Arthuro added again

Jake Smith smiled broadly at his father,

"I purposely didn't come because, to be honest, I forgot about today's royal schedule. I just came back from Europe and was very tired.. tomorrow I will visit Daniel's house and congratulate Nicholas on the appointment as crown prince" he said with a smile and sat down next to his father

A sigh was heard from the lips of the old man

"How is your son, I mean your son who is now in the dormitory," asked Mr. Arthuro

Jake Smith has a big smile on his face

"They're good, I visited last Sunday with Leo" he replied

Master Arthuro sighed again

"Miss Cherish from Belgium wants Leo, what do you think? I can't break the relationship myself because you are the father" asked Mr. Arthuro while looking into his son's face

The middle-aged man looked up at the ceiling of the mansion

"To be honest I have a hard time communicating about matchmaking with Leo ... he is a little quiet and difficult to understand, just like Austin," said Jake Smith

"Even Austin is better" added Mr. Arthuro chuckling and added laughter from his second son

"I mean, Austin is warmer than Leo.. is it because he's the oldest? That's why he pulled himself together and made a stronghold of his eleven brothers?" Add Mr. Arthuro

"I think so father, Leo is a little difficult to understand.. but matchmaking with Miss Cherish from Belgium is not a bad plan, I've heard about their family if I'm not mistaken she is the niece of the wife of the fifth prince of the Ortho family.. is that right?" Says Jake Smith

Mr. Arthuro nodded,

"You're right, the girl's mother asked Leo..but I told him to be patient because we have to talk to the boy before him"

"You came, father," said a woman in a soft voice and suddenly made the two people sitting in the living room turn their heads at the same time.

The middle-aged woman salutes with a faint smile

"Oh you are Merlin Claire, how are you?" Ask Mr. Arthuro

The middle-aged woman sits in front of her father-in-law

"I'm fine dad" she replied

"Looks like you guys were discussing something serious, and I accidentally heard a Belgian word... is there something serious dad?" she asked curiously

Master Arthuro took a deep breath and looked at his son-in-law

"Miss Cherish from Belgium wants Leo but I'm having a hard time negotiating this with her, can you help me talk to the boy?" ask him

Mrs. Claire laughed out loud

"Leo is hard to reach, he always puts distance between other people including us... To be honest, he is very kind and considerate but if we ask about very personal things he will distance himself if you ask me to persuade other children maybe I can because they are quite close to me but if you ask me to persuade Leo it's difficult since the incident a few years ago made it harder for Leo to open his heart and feelings to other people, he became more irritable and distrustful of others" said Mrs. Claire quietly

Jake Smith nodded slowly, he confirmed his second wife's words.

"Looks like we have to be a little closer to Leo, and let time speak for their feelings in the end," concluded Jake Smith.

Master Arthuro stood up and made his son and daughter-in-law stand up as well.

"I heard Hermes hired a girl to be his assistant, Maybe we can make Miss Cherish come and live with Leo... I want them to be close to nature, especially in that mention a girl is living there and it feels like the girl can be a good friend for Miss Cherish" said Mr. Arthuro while thinking for a moment

Jake Smith smiles

"I will arrange everything but not now, what I heard from Hermes is that their activities for the next 1 year are pretty much even tight, about saying marriage because that is a difficult thing at this time," said Jake Smith.

Master Arthuro nodded and walked out of the luxurious Mansion

"Okay, I'll entrust this to you," he said

"Oh yes dad..tomorrow I will visit my brother-in-law's house and congratulate the election of Nicholas Smith as crown prince," said Claire smiling and hugging her father-in-law

The old man smiled and got into the car and grabbed his son-in-law's hand and then the car came out of the yard of Jake Smith's luxurious Mansion.

Jake Smith and his wife stepped into the Mansion,

"Are you sure you want to bring Leo closer to the girl? I don't want to interfere.. but let them find their girl, Leo is handsome and also rich.. he deserves a woman he wants" said Mrs. Claire

Jake Smith has a big smile on his face

"You're right, but you don't forget how this family tree is, they must be matched with other nobles just like I met Claire and married until over time a love arose in each of us, then after he died I met you and married without the Smith family's matchmaking... you see the results? You have no right to stand beside me as my second wife in a royal event even though my father loves you very much" said Jake Smith while hugging his wife's shoulder

"I know..all because of the Smith family lineage, right? Well I understand" said Mrs. Claire smiling

They both entered the room and closed the door.

They had just returned from Europe to finish some work there and of course, Mrs. Claire faithfully followed her husband wherever he went and took care of all his needs.

She thought that her five sons were now in the Dormitory while the Smith brothers were old enough and able to provide for their own needs, so she chose to go with her husband wherever he went.

she trusted Leo to take care of his eleven younger siblings.

"Claire.. for a while you don't say anything to Leo ... I'm afraid he will be angry when he finds out that father intends to match him," asked Jake Smith

Mrs. Claire nodded and massaged her husband's shoulder

"I agree with you dear, I'm afraid Leo will get angry and refuse without thinking about the girl's feelings, but I think there's some truth in what dad said, Miss Cherish could just pretend to work in their mansion as an assistant or whatever and then try to approach Leo, who's that? I know he's melted" said Mrs. Claire with a big smile

While Jake Smith just smiled widely

"I'm worried about Kevin, yesterday my subordinates gave me a photo where he met Carey Mulligan, I don't like that girl because that girl you have a bad effect on Kevin," he said

Mrs. Claire frowned in surprise

"I think he's good," she said

"I don't like the girl because she easily sleeps with other men, I don't want Kevin to be close to the girl... Even Kevin deserves a better girl than Miss Mulligan," concluded Jake Smith.

"I'll try to persuade him, I hope he understands," said Mrs. Claire while continuing to massage her husband's shoulders

"Yes... please talk to Kevin, he is so close to you. I hope you can persuade the child" Jake Smith replied while rubbing his wife's wrist.

Mrs. Claire smiled,

She is the second wife of Jake Smith since the mother of the seven Smith brothers died, they are quite close to the 7 children .. but among the 7 siblings Leo has a distinctive nature and is difficult for others to understand

Leo always obeys the wishes of his stepmother, but that's about it... if he tries to get closer through feelings it's a bit difficult.

Leo has his stronghold, even his younger siblings have a hard time understanding his feelings.

Soon Mrs. Claire stood up and handed her husband Jake Smith a towel

"I will prepare you good clothes to go south, I am glad that Nicholas has finally been chosen as the crown prince, he is really dignified and also very handsome," said Mrs. Claire

"I didn't think that he was so big now... Back then when he was born I was the one who often held the baby, he was handsome and his blonde hair was like glittering gold" added Jake Smith

Mrs. Claire smiled and nodded while opening the wardrobe and sorting out the clothes for the meeting tomorrow morning

"Before we go south I want to stop by my children's dorm for a while, I miss them... Yesterday you went with Leo without taking me, I'm so disappointed" Mrs. Claire whispered

Jake Smith laughed out loud and laughed

"You were so busy with your charitable association that you forgot to tell me, it's your fault," said Jake Smith, hugging his wife's body.
