Wow that is a big request my boy. Mr. Stone-will said with a

surprise look

I know it is a big request but I just wanted you to know how I felt

about your daughter. He could hear his heart beat fast and

prayed

Well Annabel darling what do you think? Her father who felt

sorry for not being there for her when she was young and needed

a father but now is after her joy

I already turned down his offer when he asked me so I don't know

why he still brought the matter up again, can't you just let me be?

She asked no one in particular

Annabel my dear why don't you give it a thought and give him the

answer later after thinking about it thoroughly. Aunt Jess said

with a pleading face

But I don't have any feelings for him. She said and immediately

regretted her words because it brought sadness to the face of a

woman she loved dearly but knew she couldn't take her words

back now since it has been said.

Oh okay! Old Jessie said then stood up and went into the kitchen

with the leftover

You heard her Jason I didn't raise you well enough to a standard

of marrying someone like her. Aunt Jessie said and left

Am sorry Aunt Jessie I didn't mean it that way. She said but left

to her room in anger when she saw that the old lady refused to

accept her apology.

Annabel what sup? Why the face? He asked when he saw her

frowning at him and hardly giving him time to finish a sentence
