My Introvert Husband 3
Refusal

As soon as Jesslyn came out of the bathroom, she saw her mother standing face to face with Alana.

"Mama," call Jesslyn. Merry turned to Jesslyn. Jesslyn approaches Alana and her mother.

"Darling, is he your friend?" ask Merry.

"Yes, Ma. she's Alana, Jesslyn's friend that Jesslyn used to tell her, Mama. and Alana, this is my Mama" Jesslyn said.

"Oh, you're Alana?" merry asked as he touched Alana's cheek.

"Yes, Bi." Alana still looked down in silence.

"Yes, Jesslyn, let's have breakfast with Alana and Kimy" Merry ordered. Jesslyn agrees, and as Merry leaves her son's room, she accidentally sees Jesslyn's leg covered in wounds.

"Darling, what's your leg? why are wounds like this?" merry asked so worriedly.

"It's okay, Ma. Yesterday Jesslyn just fell down the stairs, but it's dry already, Ma." Jesslyn's lying.

"It's okay - what how? sit down here" Merry told Jesslyn to sit on the edge of the bed and she checked her daughter's legs, seeing Merry so worried about Jesslyn, making Alana jealous.

"Why isn't Mami as good as Jesslyn, who's so worried about her son?" alana murmured in the heart.

At the dinner table, they all gathered there. Papa Gio tells Jesslyn to tell him everything that happened last night between Ken and Alana. Jesslyn told Papa and Mama everything, what was the reason for her locking Ken and Alana in the library. Hearing Jesslyn's statement made Ken even more upset to hear it, Merry and Gio can only shake their heads at the behavior of their daughter.

After eating, Jesslyn asked Jasson to drive her to the hospital with Alana and Kimy. Jasson was so reluctant to deliver the three of them. he was forced to accept the request of his twin sister.

When Ken was about to leave to meet his Papa Client, Gio stopped him, because he wanted to talk.

"Ken, papa wants to talk to you, son." Gio hugged his son's shoulders and invited him to sit on the sofa.

"It looks serious. Say, Pa. What's your papa talking about?" ken asked with questions in his mind, because, rarely is his father serious like this. Gio and Merry momentarily exchanged glances, making Ken take turns staring at the two parents.

"Papa, Mama. What's the matter? what do you want to talk about?" asked Ken curiously.

"Look, son. Do you have a boyfriend?" ask Gio. Ken narrowed his eyes so astonished at his Papa's question.

"Not yet.why, Papa asked that?" ken asked, Gio was silent for a moment and looked towards his wife back.

"Look, baby. Mr. Afford is eager to betroth his daughter to you. do you want to marry Caleey?" Merry befell it. Ken gasped when he heard the statement he had just heard from his mother.

"Is Mom joking?" ask Ken.

"No, Ken. Mom and Dad weren't kidding," Gio said.

"Uncle Afford wanted to match Caleey to Ken. Then, Papa and Mama would not? how ridiculous! Ken doesn't want to be in a match, like Ken doesn't sell," Ken exclaimed in annoyance.

"Ken, if you speak in front of polite parents!" exclaim Gio.

"I'm sorry, Ken, Pa. Ken gets carried away with emotions, but, Ken really does not want to be paired, Pa. especially with Caleey!" Ken Exclamations.

"Didn't you like Caleey at all, honey? haven't you and Caleey ever been close?" ask Merry.

"Ken never liked Caleey at all, Ma. Ken only thinks of Caleey as Ken's younger brother, just like Jesslyn." Ken refuted.

"Alright, Papa won't force it. Papa's gonna talk about it well with Mr. Afford, later." Gio patted Ken on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry Ken, Pa, Ma. Then Ken, you go to the office first" said Ken.. Gio and Merry agree. Ken left the house.

"I was sure from the beginning that Ken would refuse" Gio said

"Then, how do you talk about this with Mr. Afford, honey?" merry asked as she rubbed her husband's back.

"So, I'll meet Afford in the afternoon and talk slowly with him" replied Gio.

In the hospital,

Jasson dropped Jesslyn, Alana and Kimy in front of the hospital, and Jasson drove back to get out of the hospital, Jasson already has an appointment for basketball practice with his friends.

Alana invites Jesslyn and Kimy to enter the hospital, heading to her father's ward because, incidentally, Alana's father had been moved in the nursery before.

however, when Alana arrived at her father's ward, she saw 3 men sitting in front of the room.the same man when he met Alana in his rented house.

"Alana, who is that guy?" jesslyn asked in a whisper.

"Ehm, that's the bank guy" Alana replied. Alana approached the 3 men. Kimy and Jesslyn follow Alana from behind.

"We're here to ask you, did Miss talk about last night's problems with Mr Holmes?" ask one of the men.

"My Daddy has just had surgery and is likely unconscious, please! you can understand our situation a little! didn't you say it's a month? then why are you coming today? if my Daddy is conscious, I will talk to him soon" exclaimed Alana with great emphasis. the man looked at his two friends for a moment.

"Alright, Miss. Sorry, we just do our job, sorry to disturb the comfort, Miss. Then we'll excuse us," said the person. However, Alana just kept quiet without saying yes. after the three men left, Alana sitting limply in the seat in front of her father's room. it feels like he really can't afford to go through all of this.

"Alana, what's the matter?" ask Jesslyn and Kimy while sitting next to Alana.

"My Daddy's debt is still not fully paid off, and if my Daddy does not immediately pay off his debt within the period of this month his company will be confiscated forever and will be authorized to the state," said Alana while closing her eyes.It was very clear that the look on the woman's face seemed to be so heavy burden.

"You're patient, Alana." Jesslyn rubbed Alana's back trying to calm the woman down.

"Alana, what's your Daddy's company name?" ask Kimy.

"Celouis Company," Alana replied as if powerless.

"It looks like a big company," said Kimy. but Alana just kept quiet. his mind at that time, really - really run where - where.

Alana, tells Jesslyn and Kimy to go home. But, Jesslyn does not want to and forces to stay there to accompany Alana until the next few hours. Alana had to do it.

In the afternoon, after leaving the hospital, Alana went to her cake shop and flower shop because, since her father was aware. Alana, rarely went to the store and she put all her business to her employees while an hour ago. Jesslyn and Kimy have been picked up by Jasson,

While Gio, that afternoon he was meeting with Afford at one of Ken's Coffe shops, he chose to invite Afford to meet outside, what he will discuss is that personal matters are not work issues, so, Gio wants to talk about it outside the office.

"How about, Mr Gio? have you talked to Ken?" ask Afford. while sipping black coffee that has just been served by the coffee shop waiter.

"Sorry, Mr. Afford. Ken doesn't want to be married, he's still not ready to get married" Gio said. Afford stopped his activity and put the coffee cup back.

"Oh, why? isn't she ripe for marriage? after all, if we marry our children, we can strengthen our divine relationship and our business, right?" afford.

"Yes, I know that but how else," said Gio.

"Mr Gio, try to speak again kindly - either with Ken, maybe he changed his mind and wanted to marry Caleey, maybe with a little coercion, isn't Ken a submissive child?" afford said with a little force.

"Sorry, Mr. Afford. indeed he is very obedient.but, I can not force it. because, I know very well Ken," said Gio with emphasis. when hearing Gio's statement, Gio said, Afford was feeling a little upset.

"Oh, okay.it's okay. Then excuse me first, because I already have an appointment with people," said Afford while looking at the watch that was coiled on his wrist. he also stood up from his seat.

"Alright, once again I'm sorry, Mr. Afford." Gio moved on from his seat and felt bad.

"It's okay" Afford said, patting Gio on the shoulder and leaving the coffee shop.

***

At night, Gio seems busy working in his workspace, but, in the middle of his busy life, he receives an email and opens the email from his computer, suddenly the look on Gio's face looks so angry, even the horn of his murkan.he arrived - suddenly slammed the goods and also the paper - the paper stacked on his desk.

then, the door of her work room that was originally closed is now open. Merry is walking to him by bringing a cup of coffee for her husband.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? why is the room so messy?" asked Merry in confusion, he placed the coffee cup on the table and approached Gio.

"Do you know? just because of the matchmaking problem. Afford, suddenly stopped his cooperation with our family-owned company." Gio clenched his hands so furiously.

"Gosh, then what do we do, Gio?" ask Merry.

"Is Mr. Afford's company so influential? and is there no other company you can work with?" merry.

"Very influential! because in Ireland, there are only two companies that have factories with the most advanced production machines.owned by Afford and also Mr. Holmes Louis, brother-in-law Afford." said Gio.

"Then, why don't you try to cooperate with Mr. Afford's brother-in-law?" ask Merry.

"The company has been bankrupt and not operational for the past 2 years.whether, whether the company still belongs to Mr. Holmes or has been transferred to someone else, I also do not know. because, because, I haven't seen Mr Holmes in a long time."

"Arghh .. I can go crazy thinking about all this, let alone I've received a lot of tenders from my business partners." Gio held back his wrath.

"Papa." Ken arrived - suddenly entered into the workspace Gio. he was seen still wearing his full work clothes. Apparently, he had just returned home.

"Pa, does Papa know? Uncle Afford stopped his cooperation with our company?" ask Ken in a panic.

"Yes, Papa already knows, son. maybe, because Papa refused the matchmaking offer, so he stopped the cooperation that has been built for 20 years, is very sneaky," growled Gio, who was not involved in the match, it feels like he really wants to slam all the items in his study.

"Then what, Pa? Our company has received a lot of tenders.if production stops just like that, our company can be in trouble, Pa. instead of other than Uncle Afford's company. no more companies have sophisticated machines to help our company, Pa." Ken was confused. Gio stood up from his seat.

"Be quiet first Ken, don't make Papa more confused," Gio half yelled and moved from his seat.he paced back and forth thinking of a way to find a way out. Ken felt, the chaos that occurred in the company owned by his family today, none other than, all because of him. Ken walked over to his father.

"Pa, sorry, this is all because, Ken. Ken will accept an arranged marriage with Caleey so that Uncle Afford does not stop his cooperation with our company" Ken said.
