CHAPTER 25 :NOT INTERESTED

As they got to the mansion ,the sun was setting and the stars were slowly appearing in the sky. The duo admired the view of the mansion, it was extremely beautiful at night and the looked at it awe. The light in the surrounding made the it look like a party was being held even though there was none .

"this is magnificent"Sasha complimented with a smile and her mum couldn't help.but agree with her daughter as she said"indeed". As they slowly walked towards the mansion the sky was also getting darker by the minute. They came across a maid who led them inside the mansion . They couldn't help but look around the interior of the mansion with awe.

As the maid told them to sit in the living room ,she went to get the rest of the family downstairs to meet their guests. Sasha and her mum ,while waiting viewed the entire living room when they heard footsteps. Both turned to look in the direction of where the sound was coming from and they saw an elderly man descending the stairs with his stick and behind him was Jason.

While descending the stairs, grandpa studied the people in front of him as he was in a deep thought. Jason on the other hand didn't know they were having guests until this evening when his grandfather informed him and now that he thought of it "this might not be about business" he thought to himself.

"evening"Sasha greeted as she felt not to be rude . With raised eyebrows, grandpa didn't say anything but instead went to sit at the couch that was opposite with Jason standing behind him .

Lucy also came downstairs to see the guests,as she stared at the people in the room Lucy exchanged looks with Jason seemingly asking for what is happening but the latter didn't seem to be sure himself. " it isn't really a surprise for us to have guests by this time of the day"grandpa said as Lucy sat down. "well,it is a pleasure to finally meet you" Sasha mum was the one to talk while trying to avoid saying something offensive.

"the table is set" a maid said cutting their conversation short " we'll continue at the dining table" grandpa proceeded to leave for the dining room with Jason and Lucy following after while the mother and daughter exchanged looks with excitement written on their faces.

The table was filled with different foods that had Sasha impressed as she imagine how great her life would be living with this family.

They all sat down ,each taking their fork and knife to eat. While eating Sasha noticed that it was only one of the sons that was home and she wondered where the other son is. "can you tell us the reason for this meeting?" grandpa asked "we came with a proposal" Mrs ivy said "marriage proposal" she added feeling she wasn't specific enough.

Grandpa had already known the reason behind their visit as they weren't the first family to came here with a marriage proposal. Grandpa was quiet and everyone else in the room were waiting for his reply ." I'm sure that you know that I have two grandsons,so be specific" he said . Mrs ivy exchanged glanced at her daughter before replying"the eldest son" Jason who heard this thought how famous his brother is as he couldn't help but laugh on the inside as he imagine the outcome of this meeting.

"we were hoping that we would talk and finalise things" she said " im afraid he is not home" grandpa replied as he interrupted Sasha's mum . Sasha who was quite the entire evening as she didn't want to speak out if turn thought "why can't they just accept the proposal even if the eldest grandson is not home?"

"as he isn't home ,we cannot proceed" grandpa said to their disappointment as he explained that he can't accept a marriage proposal without his grandson being here, someone came to the dining room whilst interrupting them. Ryan stared at the people in the dining room as he narrowed his eyes.

Sasha on the other hand was shocked to see him as she had seen Ryan at the mall the other time she came to see mia. She couldn't believe that it was Ryan"they came with a marriage proposal" grandpa simply said while not wasting anytime . With narrowed eyes Ryan replied"I'm not interested" Ryan replied. That had everyone at the table look at him except for his grandfather.

This was very expecting from Ryan as he wouldn't agree to any proposal "why not?"his grandfather asked "give me a good reason why you are not interested" he continued "I have girlfriend and I don't plan on getting married" he said.

What Ryan said made everyone in the dining room surprised at what he said and Jason in particular choked on his food as he couldn't believe his ears . Ryan didn't stay to watch his family's reaction but left the room leaving Jason to run after him to ask questions as he wanted to confirm what he heard.

Grandpa wasn't expecting something like that to come out from Ryan's mouth as his grandson would not think of having a girlfriend. Moreover,both Sasha and her mum couldn't believe their ears "does that mean I wouldn't marry him?"Sasha thought and felt someone hold her hand" he doesn't seem to be ready to get married" grandpa said "so you can leave" he added before leaving the dining room with Lucy.

Ryan walked straight into his room with Jason running after him. As he went in,Ryan was about to slam the door on Jason's face when the latter was quick to enter as he sighed in relief knowing if Ryan had slammed the door on him he wouldn't be able to clear his curiosity. "go out"Ryan ordered "not until you answer my question" Jason protested "one question" Ryan said and Jason thinks that was not fair of Ryan.

He thought of making this one question count as he asked"what you said back there, is it true?" there was excitement in his eyes as he asked the question "yes" Ryan replied bluntly "now leave" Jason decided to comply when the door suddenly open and both Lucy and their grandfather came in. Now that his grandfather was going to interfere Ryan decided to get the former off his back.

"if what you said back there is really true , I want you to bring her home" he Said since he was not requesting for Ryan to do it. Hearing this both Jason and Lucy couldn't hide their smile . "I'm going for a business meeting,so I must meet her by the time I'm back" grandpa left the room.

"what's her name?" Jason whispered in Ryan's ear but got a glare in response,Lucy then pulled him out of the room before closing the door.

Now alone in the room Ryan slumped on the the couch before closing his eyes as he wanted to relax. Minutes passed before he got up to take out his laptop as he needed to find out how long the business meeting would be. After looking through his laptop Ryan stood up and put on his jacket before taking his keys that was on the table.

He went out if the room then into his car as he drove off.

He stopped in front of a building before he came out of the car then walked to the house to ring the bell. someone opened the door and Mia was surprised to see Ryan at her house. He came inside and seeing the curious loom on her face he said"I want you to start living with me"
