"What, so the person that Papa wants to marry me is Aiden?!"
Aster could not hide his surprise after finding out that the person he wanted to be betrothed to was Aiden. Completely beyond his expectations, he never expected that the person would turn out to be Aiden.
"That's right, and isn't this a sweet coincidence? You refused outright when Papa was about to match you to the man we were with
choose for you. You insisted on introducing your future husband to both of us, and your candidate turned out to be Aiden." Said Steven.
Aster scratched his head that was not itchy. He was confused, why is it like this? His initial intention was to bring Aiden and bring him together with his parents to avoid the arranged marriage, but it turned out that the person he was betrothed to was Aiden.
Now Aster is confused himself. It must be how he is now, confessing to both his parents if the real relationship and Aiden is fake. Or continue to continue the process. He's really a dilemma.
"Aster, actually you and Aiden have been betrothed for a long time. Your great-grandfather and Aiden's grandfather were good friends. Although their ages differ greatly, but they both have a very strong bond of friendship."
"And for the sake of unbroken familial relations between them, your great-grandfather intended to match you both. And that plan was long before you were born, because it was originally just a conversation between two grown men that Papa thought was a joke. But it wasn't."
"Before your great-grandfather left. He told Papa, so that Papa's son would be betrothed to someone from the Zhang family. A few years ago, Grandpa Zhang went to Papa and talked about his plans and your late grandfather."
"But at that time Papa could not give an answer, even just to say yes papa can not. Because all the decisions are in your hands, and at that time you were too young to think about Marriage let alone the household. Moreover, Papa heard that Aiden refused the match, so Papa didn't even dare to tell you." Steven said at length.
Aster and Aiden exchanged glances, they were both at a loss as to what to do now. All of this was beyond what they had planned before. And one of the two of them, must make a decision about how their relationship will be.
"Uncle, Aunt. We'll just follow the flow. God has planned all this, and we will follow the path God has given us just how our relationship ultimately comes down,"
Aster nodded. "That's exactly what Aiden said. Even though we were both dating, actually me and her did not want to rush into marriage either. Because my mom asked me to bring my future husband to this house, that's why I invited Aiden to come." Said Aster.
"Mama and Papa won't impose their will on either of you. All the decisions are in the hands of both of you, how good. You're the one who should decide" Jessica said.
Actually Jessica already knows if Aster and Aiden's relationship. Because as far as it is, daisies do not have close friends let alone lovers. But suddenly she said she would introduce her future husband in less than 24 hours, of course making Jessica doubtful and unsure.
"No, no. Papa disagrees with your mother. Papa instead intends to marry you in the near future, because it is better than your relationship without clarity." Steven said.
"What, Pa? Married married?!" Aster screeching loudly. The girl shook her head. "No way!! I'm not ready to get married, Pa. Me and Aiden~" anyway"
"There's no buts. Papa's decision is final. After all, it's time for you to get married and build a household, do you want to be a spinster?! There is also a good thing about getting married, so there is someone who cares more and takes care of you. After all Aiden is a good man, even though he is a widower. But he's a good guy. Believe, Son. No parent wants to take his daughter. Because every parent just wants to make it happy."
Aster bit his lips to hear his father's words. It seems like the father's decision is final. Then is she really ready to get married and sparkle the household. Living with strangers is not easy.
"Easy-after. Later on talk, we should have breakfast first. Mama is very hungry" said Jessica in conversation Aster and Steven.
Aiden didn't respond at all. His brain is thinking hard. Rebuilding the household, is he ready? And it seems like it's time to move on and say goodbye to the past. Because there is no point in reminiscing about the painful past.
And there is no harm in him opening his heart to others. Moreover, Aster is a good and unique girl. Aiden himself always felt comfortable when he was around him. And if they really get married, Aiden promises to always look after and protect Aster. Make her the happiest woman.

After breakfast. They continued chatting in the family room. Many of Aster's disgrace are opened by Jessica and Steven in front of Aiden. Starting from what he is most difficult to build, delirious when sleeping, fighting hobbies while still in school. And the worst was he who could not cook.
Aster was completely embarrassed to death after his disgrace was opened by his own two parents. Instead of feeling guilty after opening her disgrace, they even look happy let alone Jessica said it with a laugh.
"Haha...!! That's how this unique Mama's daughter, Ai. And Mama hope you don't taste the cuisine even if it's just a little. Mama's worried you're going to the hospital for severe diarrhea!!"
The girl pinched her lips and looked at the mother in annoyance. How could he so proudly open up all his disgrace in front of Aiden. Surely after this he became the subject of ridicule of the man.
"Mama, enough!! What's wrong with you? Why are you even opening up my shameful disgrace in front of him?! Just be ashamed!!"
"It's not opening up a disgrace, honey. Just wanted to share a story with Aiden. You and her are getting married soon, so it's only natural that you two open up to each other's nature and personality. Isn't that right, Ai?" Jessica looked at Aiden. While Aiden just smiled thinly without giving any answers.
"Already!! You've had enough to pump it up. Aiden, our business here is done. We better go home now. Don't you have an important meeting any minute. Mom, Pa. We both go home first. Bye-bye, and thanks for the breakfast. I love you both!!"
"Yakk!! You two, don't go home. Mama's not done yet. Aster!! Aisshhh, why is this girl getting so annoying!! Really your photo copy!!" Jessica moved out of Steven's presence and just left.
The father of two was snorting. Steven shook his head at his wife's behavior. He is no different from Aster, just like a boy!!
