CHAPTER 112: LET'S GET MARRIED

When mia opened her eyes,she noticed it was already dark making her question how long she has slept but she could only guess. Ryan wasn't beside her either,she proceeded to go and check on him when the door was pushed opened and Ryan walked in with a tray of food in his hand.

Mia smiled and it was then that she realized how hungry she is. When Ryan walked to sit beside her mia asked "did you cook?" . Her eyes shifted to the food that made her mouth water before meeting Ryan's eyes.

"yes...I didn't want to you to wait when you wake up" he replied, picking the spoon to feed her

"thank you" mia whispered when Ryan brought the spoon closer to her mouth to feed her "it's delicious"

"I know that"

After a while of silence where none of the people spoke as their eyes did the talking mia asked "isn't Jason home?" ,she hadn't seen him since this afternoon after they left her room and she wondered if anyone has come to check on her while she was sleeping. Ryan passed her the medicine and water for her to use and then responded "no he isn't".

Mia nodded,not questioning further and only took her medicine and drank the entire glass of water. Ryan took the glass and left the room to return the used dishes while mia waited for him. She stretched her body and didn't feel like sleeping anytime soon. Later , ryan walked into the room again and sat beside her on the bed .

"How's grandfather doing?" She asked ,she couldn't remember the last time and saw the old man and could only ask Ryan about him. The man replied with "he's back in his mansion, he'll be here tomorrow to see you and how things are going".

Mia pursed her lips "he must be extremely hurt by what happened" she said thoughtfully. It was expected of him to feel that way after all,he has lost both of his sons,and mia knew he wouldn't want anything to happen to his grandsons either. Ryan agreed with her by humming.

"Let's put that aside" this got Mia's attention and she looked at him with curiosity,Ryan wanted to say something to her and her ears were already opened to listen to him. She saw a different emotion flash in Ryan's eyes as he stared at her for a few seconds before saying "now that things are getting better..." he drawled but it only increased the suspense and curiosity mia was feeling as there was evident anticipation in her eyes.

"Let's get married"

Momentarily,it felt like time has stopped as mia stared at him wide eyed. She didn't know what to feel or what to say,she felt a little lost and surprised wondering if she heard his words wrongly. Ryan held her cheek and repeated "let's get married" making sure every word sink into her head.

"are you serious?" Mia asked him and he responded "more than anything"

She felt overwhelmed with emotions,she hadn't expected he would propose to her this soon and no words could describe how she felt,she nodded her head with tears threatening to fall from her eyes

Ryan urged "use your words"

"Yes, let's get married" mia laughed,while closing her eyes,as if to stop the tears from falling further. She felt him wipe her tears before kissing her briefly on her lips. Ryan took out a small box that revealed a diamond ring when he opened it. Ryan indeed had good taste and it wasn't just now that he had proven that fact to her.

Taking her hand,he carefully placed the ring on her ring finger that only increased the giddy feeling inside mia. Without warning,she brought her face closer to his and kisses him passionately with all her emotions, there were no words to be said as they could already feel what they wanted. It felt like all their dreams were coming true in one night.

THE NEXT DAY

Mia went straight out of her room,she was already tired of not moving out of that room. Now she made her way downstairs with steady footsteps,the memory of last night's proposal was still intact in her mind . She smiled while touching the ring that fit perfectly around her finger.

She realized how Ryan and her share a common past where they have come to rely on each other's presence. She could still remember how , when they first met ,he had tried to chase her away and eventually they became close friends regardless of if they were not in the same class.

Her thoughts were Interrupted by Jason's voice "good morning sister-in-law"

"Morning" mia replied with a smile that graced her lips. Jason looked at her as if trying to look for something then stated "I'm not a doctor but you should be resting instead of standing here,if anything happens to you on my watch,my brother is going to kill me "

"I'm tired of staying in that room besides Ryan won't kill,I'm just hungry "mia said as they both made their way to the kitchen. Mia has been in and out of sleep for the past hours that she decided to have her bath and dress up before heading downstairs .

"I'm glad you are feeling better" a familiar voice said , cutting their conversation short. Mia turned and smiled brightly on sighting the old man who looked relief to see she's alright "yes I am,how about you?" Mia asked the man back who nodded in response.

"When did you come here?" Jason asked ina surprised tone,the question was directed at grandpa who glared at him in return before saying "I don't always have to inform you before I come here or when I do".

Jason didn't react and it was then that his eyes fell on Mia's hand and he exclaimed "did my brother propose?" . For the first few seconds,mia appeared confused before it finally dawns on her . She nodded her head ,a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. Thsi felt awkward, even though they were only two people in the room who stared at her right now,she felt it was more than that.

"Well I'm glad he's taken the step,that way I can die knowing he already has a wife and can finally see my great grand kids" he then turned to Jason" you should also start preparing to start a family,I want to be rest assured that both you and your brother have someone to take care of you while I'm not here".

The old man already knew everything that is going on in the family, therefore he wanted to make sure everything is going accordingly with no loophole.He found himself lucky that despite all the stress his two grandsons has been giving him,he didn't have a heart attack and died suddenly.

Jason replied "you don't need to worry about that,after brother gets married,I will and I know you wouldn't have kissed the dust by then". Although he said it,he didn't know what Hannah thinks about the possibility of marriage between them but he knew she would agree to marry him if he asked.

"when is the wedding?"

Mia replied with "a month from now" . Ryan had said by then ,she would have fully recovered and he seems to be eager to marry her and make her his as soon as possible,mia didn't mind at all and knew if he wanted the wedding to happen the next day,it would,Ryan was capable of making it happen.
