I MUST PREPARE FOR THE ARRIVAL OF MY GRAND-DAUGHTER IN LAW.

Imperial City in Lover's Cafe at morning,

Seren's immediate response made Louis a little surprised. Why not? The woman in front of him was so calm that she didn't even hesitate a bit and agreed to the marriage instantly. Normally girls would need time to think about this huge decision of their life but this woman didn't even care that she was getting married in a week.

In order to confirm it again Louis asked, " Miss. Seren are you really okay with the marriage being held on next weekend?".

Seren who was still expressionless and calm replied, " Yes Mr. Kelly. I have no problem with the marriage being held on next weekend. This marriage doesn't mean important to me and I'm pretty busy hence it doesn't matter when or where we have to do it. All I need is to free myself from the Wen family so that I wont be tied up to them anymore. I am not even slightest anticipating a wedding for us cause I don't have time for it. This is just a deal for me".

After hearing her reply Louis thought, ' This woman is sure interesting. I am looking forward to our married life'.

Louis said, " As Miss. Seren has no problem with it then let's register our marriage in the Bureau office next week".

Seren stood as she replied, " Fine then" and left towards the exit.

Louis was left all alone in that Cafe. His own wife-to-be just left without even saying bye or telling him about her leave. She was really different from all the woman he has seen. It was as if she was an limited edition which is special and different from others. The whole time spend with Seren, Louis never did see anything except coldness in her eyes. She didn't even express an emotion. She was discussing her own marriage as if it was some school project.

Imperial City at Wen mansion,

Jinhai was in the hall when he just received a phone call from Louis. Louis told Jinhai about his and Seren's marriage and let him know that they both were getting married next week. After disconnecting the call Jinhai went to Lerazie to tell her this news.

As they both were talking someone heard their conversation and rushed towards the stairs. Rose was frowned hearing that her own parents are arranging marriage for Seren and had even found her a husband. She went to her room and started throwing things here and there to vent her anger. Lerazie heard the noises coming from upstairs and so she rushed there immediately. Jinhai followed her but Lerazie insisted on letting her solve this alone hence Jinhai left these mother- daughter pair alone. He thought that a mother would understand her daughter very well.

When Lerazie entered the room she saw all of the stuff broken and was thrown on the ground. She immediately strode towards her daughter and caressed her face as she asked, " What happened dear? Did someone trouble you?".

Rose who was still angry shrugged her mother's hand as she said, " Stop lying to me. You both don't love me".

Lerazie asked again, " Dear it's not true. You've always been our precious daughter. What happened? Tell me child. Unless and until you tell us , how can we understand what is troubling you?".

Rose still frowning replied, " Why did you both arrange marriage for that bitch? Didn't she try to threaten me? Instead of punishing her for what she did you are finding her a husband for her?".

Lerazie replied, " Oh dear. You don't have to be upset on such a trivial matter. She tried to threaten you but she may had forgotten that her life is in our hands".

Rose asked, " What do you mean mother?".

Lerazie explained, " My dear when her mother died, in her will , the decision of Seren's marriage was given completely to your father and she has no say in it. Which means that bitch can't even choose with whom she has to spend her life with. Hence we arranged her marriage with Aiden Kelly who is an intern in the finance department who works under your cousin uncle".

Rose interrupted as she said, " Mom instead of letting her marry to an intern why not we just set her her up with an old hag. Her life and image both will get ruined. All we have to do is drug her and make her spend night with some old hag and then demolish her image which will force her to get married".

Lerazie immediately silenced Rose as she said, " Don't talk nonsense Rose. Lower your voice. If your dad hears it then it may not be good".

Rose asked, " What will not be good? Doesn't dad dislike her too. Moreover she even tried to threaten me who is dad's princess".

Lerazie sighed as she replied, " Dear even though your dad dislikes her and loves you more than anyone but still no matter what she is his daughter too. Even though your dad hasn't ever favored her but he has always known her whereabouts since she left the house. Also it was written in the Euphoria's will that your dad has the authority to decide her spouse but that doesn't mean that he will marry her to any old man".

Rose said, " Then it means that you both are arranging her marriage for good and not to punish her. Isn't it?".

Lerazie asked, " Dear what type of husband would you like to have? Or maybe what husband material do girls these days prefer?".

Rose replied, " Well I want someone who is rich, caring, who will pamper me, and who will spend all of his money on me".

Lerazie said, " See every girl wants a man who is rich and on whom we can depend on. But Seren's husband-to-be is just an mere intern. Also he is very young. Young men are not faithful at all. They have a change of mind when they are bored of their woman. Instead of getting a dependent husband that bitch will be burdened by that young kid who is immature and doesn't have a stable life. It is her punishment to spend her life with her immature husband and clear up the mess he creates all the time. Your Uncle said that Aiden Kelly is not so good in his work and can be get fired anytime".

Rose smirked as she said, " Now that bitch will never dare to threaten us again. I wish that she gets burdened by him and ruin her life by her self".

Jinhai wanted Seren to marry a mere intern employee just because Aiden was young and didn't had a stable financial life. Well this may seem illogical but to rich people the most thing they despise is the poor ones. Wealthy people think of commoners as trash and hence Jinhai wanted Seren to marry a so-called trash husband who can't even take his own wife's responsibility.

But who knew that their evil intentions will bring Seren blessings and will make her life better and more lively.

Imperial City at Louis's apartment in noon,

Louis who had just returned from the Cafe went to his apartment. He saw the door open and walked inside. He closed the door and went towards the kitchen and brought a glass of juice. He gave that glass of juice to the old man who was sitting on the couch waiting for Louis to come back home.

Louis asked as he sat on one of the chair , " When did you come grandpa?".

Mr. Edward replied, " What can I do when my own grandson doesn't come to meet his family. Of course I had to come here".

Louis asked the man who was sitting beside Mr. Edward, " Butler Uncle how could you not stop grandpa? Do you both want to publicize that Edward family's grandson lives here".

Butler Lee said, " Young master I don't dare to stop him. As you know Elder master doesn't listen to anyone. What can I do except following him?".

Mr. Edward said, " Stop nagging Butler Lee. I was the one who wanted to come".

Louis asked, " So why did you come all the way here grandpa? I don't think you just came because you missed me."

Mr. Edward cleared his throat a little as he replied, " I am here to remind you about your marriage which will be held in a month soon. I have brought some proposals for you hence I'd like you to choose one. We atleast need a month to prepare for the wedding".

Louis sighed as he replied, " No need to find proposals for me grandpa".

Mr. Edward said, " Don't even dare to go back on your word you brat. You promised me that you'll get married to the woman as your grandparents wish".

Louis looked at Butler Lee as if to confirm something. Mr. Edward realized what Louis was thinking hence he replied, " It's fine. Butler Lee knows each and every secret in our house".

Butler lee nodded as he replied, " Don't worry second young master. I am already well aware of your situation since long back. You can tell us".

Louis continued as he said, " I'm not going back on my word grandpa. It's just that I've already found someone who perfectly fits all the conditions".

Mr. Edward got excited as he said, " What? You already found one? Then let's get you both married tomorrow. We can arrange your wedding later first let's get you both married legally".

Louis interrupted Mr. Edward as he said, " Grandpa please calm down. We both have decided to register our marriage next weekend. We can't just ask her to marry me tomorrow when we have just met".

Mr. Edward said, " So tell me who is the girl? How did you meet her?".

Louis explained everything to his grandpa except the deal between him and Seren of trial marriage. If he did told Mr. Edward about the deal between them then his grandpa sure won't like it.

Mr. Edward asked, " Are you sure she is willing to get married to you in a week?".

Louis replied, " I told her about grandma's wish and she willingly said yes to it".

Mr. Edward asked, " Does she know about your real identity?".

Louis replied, " I'll tell her once we get married. I can't take any risk. If her family knows about it then it may cause trouble as the manager is the cousin of her step-mother".

Mr. Edward replied as he was happy to hear this news, " It's good that you're getting married early. I will be earnestly waiting for my grand-daughter in law. And about your business make it quick. I wish my grandson and my grand-daughter in law to stay with the family. Don't make me wait for too long. Now I will take my leave".

Louis asked, " You're leaving already grandpa?".

Mr. Edward said, " I just came here to talk about your marriage but as you have already decided everything then I will do my remaining work. I must prepare for the arrival of my grand-daughter in law".

Louis asked, " Grandpa what about family?".

Mr. Edward replied, " I guess for now let's keep as it is. It may stir up trouble otherwise".
