CHAPTER 113: ASKING FOR HER HAND

A week has passed since mia had woken up, everyone was starting to make peace with what happened and things were now getting better.

In one of the many locations, a car stopped in front of a building, inside a woman stared out the window with her eyes fixed on building in front of her ,she felt nervous and was still taking her time to prepare her mind on what she's about to do.

Somebody held her hand which gained her attention and she turned to meet a pair of black eyes "you don't have to go if you don't want to, there's always another time" Jason said to console her ,he had come with her to this place but could see the anxiousness that slowly build up in her on their way here. Hannah had been fiddling with her fingers and biting her lips as nervousness hits her system.

Hannah shook her head "no, I want it to be today besides the earlier the better" . These words were also a way she used to calm herself. Jason raised his hand and caressed her head then said "just no matter what the outcome is,I'm always here"

"I know"

Finally they stepped out of the car and walked towards the gate that was locked. Hannah raised her hand and rang the bell. On the other side,a woman in black and white dress approached the gate and opened it,her brows slightly furrowed whilst her eyes fell on the two people in front of her. Hannah greeted "hello Mary" the woman is the house keeper of the house and when Hannah greeted her ,she responded with a smile "a good day to you too Hannah,you are more beautiful than the last time I saw you".

Her eyes briefly landed on Jason who offered a slight bow and a smile . Hannah asked "is my uncle home?" . The housekeeper nodded and said "come in"

The couple stepped in, Jason looked around the place,be had come here once in the past and now he was here again but for a different purpose .

They arrived in the living room, where Mary had them take their seats before walking to call Hannah's uncle and get them some snacks.

" this place is bigger than I initially imagined"Jason commented, although the place he owns was bigger,he hadn't exactly imagined this place to be this big

Hannah responded with "what more are you expecting?"

"I wasn't expecting to see you here" someone suddenly said , interrupting the other two, Hannah saw a familiar man coming from other side,he still wore that firm expression like the last time she remembered .

Hannah responded with " it wouldn't be nice if I didn't visit since you are my family".

" if that is what you think,you wouldn't have decided to leave on your own".

Jason then chimed in "I believe Hannah is old enough to make her own decisions" he gave a polite smile that only made the older man feel the intense urge to glare at him as he scanned him from head to toe,as if sensing the man's thoughts Jason said "I'm Jason Garcia,your niece's boyfriend" came in the introduction.

This was not what Hannah had in mind but it seems Jason wanted to do this his own way. He had introduced himself without the man asking and she could feel her face turning red when her Uncle spared her a look "you are in a relationship?" the man asked as if to confirm

"Yes,I thought it was best that you knew and also for you to know that I achieved everything I wanted and the opening of my new boutique is two months from now,I want you to attend it" Hannah said with hope that her uncle will indeed come.

The man looked to be in thought for a few seconds then responded " I won't miss it" his eyes then fell in Jason " but why the need for him to accompany you here?".

Before Hannah could say anything, Jason beat her to it and responded " I'm here to ask for your niece's hand in marriage".

"Uncle ,I want to marry Jason" Hannah added turning to look at Jason who gave her an encouraging smile before looking back at bee uncle "he is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with".

"how do I know he will protect you and won't break your heart?"

While the three people continued their important conversation, in one of the parks on the city. Ryan and mia walked together by the side with mia hooking her arms around Ryan's,her other hand held a donut that she slowly ate.

"aren't you tired?" Ryan asked with concern,his eyes scanning her face for any signs of tiredness. Mia shook her head " why do you keep asking that? I'm not complaining".

Ryan didn't take her words for it and replied "you are only just recovering,I don't want you to stress yourself because you decided to take a walk"

"I just wanted to be outside,and you are here nothing will happen to me" saying this she raised her toes and kissed him on the cheek, letting it linger for a while before pulling away. Ryan said " of course, I'm not going to let anything bad happen"

She laughed "also our wedding is in less than three weeks,I can't wait" mia said excitedly with her smile wide.
