“Prieve your intention if you ask permission only because of the child in my daughter's womb. I will not separate you because your blood is on my future grandchildren. Please meet them, but not by staying together,” stressed Papa Danzel. His heart had not been touched by the reason given by Gerald. He had yet to see the solemnity and sincerity of the man.
They weren't surprised that Gerald knew about Cathleen's child. It is actually good that the man can know and be aware without being told.
Gerald did not remain silent on the rejection. He was still trying to get permission. He decided to lose the game of his life. “Lantas, what do I need to do to make sure that I really love and care about Cathleen? This is not just a child's reason, even though they are a unity that can not be separated.”
Rather than dizzy thinking about what other reason could be accepted by Mr. Pattinson, it was better to just ask the middle-aged man. Who knows, there will be a way out.
Papa Danzel seemed silent, rubbing his chin using his index finger as if to show that he was thinking. But that's the truth. He's considering trying to test Gerald in what way? It is impossible to give conditions like his son-in-law Dariush because they do not want the fateful incident at that time repeated again.
“What can't you do?” Finally Papa Danzel asked a question back.
“Nothing, I think can do all things.” Gerald was also confused when asked that way. His life was too straight so he only knew everything that was his specialty.
“You sure? No human being is born with perfect talent, must have a deficiency even if only one.” Papa Danzel doesn't believe his ex-daughter-in-law's answer.
Gerald was silent, digesting and thinking in the brain, sorting out which memory he felt had never been done in a lifetime. For sure it was a deficiency and he could not do because he had never tried even once.
Papa Danzel immediately got the idea. “I know this has nothing to do with Cathleen or your children. But, I just want to see your sincerity. Climb the tallest tree in my mansion, then I'll let you stay with my daughter.”
“Oke.” Gerald did not refuse, he did not know whether he could do the challenge or not. But, just try it first. If it fails, it can be repeated until it succeeds.
Papa Danzel can judge from Gerald's answer that there is no element of doubt. He was sure that the man was serious about his daughter. It's just that after being secretly examined, he knew that his former daughter-in-law still often met a woman who was being treated in the hospital. So, it feels not willing to release Cathleen for Gerald again.
“Alright, come with me.” Papa Danzel stands, followed by Gerald, Mama Gwen, and Cathleen.
The four of them swung their feet out of the main building to go to the park at the end of the mansion. There was a tall tree that had lived for decades.
“Please prepare trampoline or mat.” While meeting the mansion's servants, Papa Danzel gives an order to one of his employees. He did not want to harm Gerald so that he would secure the ground, just in case the man fell because he was not good at climbing trees.
