“Just relax,” Aditya sighed softly. “I have absolutely no intention to make a drama here, so please just continue what you want to say.”
“Oh, of course.” Delano was a little jumpy because he did not expect Aditya to suddenly talk to him. “I just wanted to ask Adelia about marriage, but of course I didn't force.”
“Eh? Why suddenly me— suddenly?” Adelia was also surprised that suddenly everyone was looking at her.
“A guy just proposed to you, Adelia.” Oma Tessa sighed softly looking at her grandson who looked not so focused. “Are you not supposed to answer, since everyone is already here.”
Hearing that, Adelia became even more awkward. Honestly speaking, she felt depressed with all eyes on her. That made Adelia unable to think clearly.
“Sorry, but may you give me a chance to think first?” adelia asked really looked very depressed. “I need to think for myself.”

“I think you press it too much.” Monic said that, when he and his son had reached home and were relaxing.
“Really?” Delano breathed a tired sigh. “And I just want to show you clearly what I feel.”
“Not everyone is happy with something like that, Nak.” Monic breathed. He really doesn't think that his son is so stupid when it comes to romance. “You should know what Adelia likes first.”
“What does Adelia like ya?” Delano thought about what had happened all along and still found nothing.
All this time, Delano was just acting as usual. Nothing is so special, but Adelia clings to him for it. Not really attached, but at least the woman was closer to her than she is today.
“Do I have to be OB again?” delano murmured in the heart.
“I don't think that's it, maybe I should visit Adelia often?” Delano asked, but he answered himself. “Maybe I pay more attention to him. Tomorrow I will try to visit Adelia.”
That's what makes Delano now stand in front of a beautiful small house on the edge of the city. This is the place where Adelia was supposed to live, for the past few times. At least, that's what Oma Tessa said.
“Daddy Delano?” Adelia appeared at the door with a surprised look.
“Hai.” All of a sudden, Delano was awkward. “Do I bother you?”
“Not really, but why did it suddenly come?” adelia asked who widened the door, letting her guests in. “I'm shocked loh.”
“Sorry.” Delano scratched his non-itchy neck from feeling awkward. “I just want to surprise you.”
“Then ... what are you hiding behind your back?” adelia asked who was tilting her head to look behind Delano. “What is also part of his surprise.”
With a reddened face, Delano took out the thing he had been hiding. It was a bouquet of flowers that was not very big, but looked so sweet to Adelia. Especially because of the combination of pink and white colors are very beautiful.
“I don't know if you like flowers or not, but I still bring it,” muttered Delano after the bouquet changed hands. “I hope you like it or at least keep the flower until the time withers.”
“I like kok.” Unexpectedly, Adelia smiled widely. “It just so happens to be my favorite color all.”
“Thank God then. I'm worried that you don't like what I'm carrying.”
“From that, I'm more curious how Daddy can be here?” reply Adelia who was trying to arrange the flowers she received into the vase.
“Not that I mean.” Adelia quickly gave up on those pretty flowers. “I mean, isn't this working hours? Does Daddy not work?”
“Oh, the. I asked Mama for permission and she allowed it so easily. Even Mama doesn't mind if I skip today.”
“Tante Monic still working? I thought he'd quit because you're back.” For this one thing, Adelia was indeed confused.
“No. Mama wouldn't let me take full control of the company, if I hadn't met the conditions she gave me,” Delano replied, without caring if she would have been ridiculed.
“Eh? Is there anything like that too?” adelia asked somewhat curiously. “What are the terms?”
“It ...”
Delano had trouble answering. It was not that she did not want to tell, but this would definitely make Adelia a little depressed or even embarrassed. Let's just say, it's still related to him. At least, that was what Delano expected.
“Mama ask for a grandson.” After thinking for a long time, Delano finally said it as well. I hope Adelia helps.
“Oh, request .... Sorry?” At first Adelia did not pay much attention, but apparently it was something rather.
“Quiet only.” Delano laughed at the reaction of the petite woman in front of him. “I won't force you to do anything. You don't need to protect yourself like that.”
Adelia's two crossed arms in front of her chest slowly descended. It's a bit embarrassing, but his body reflexes just move. Let's just say, Delano proposed to her. So when the man talked about the child, Adelia would definitely feel that she was the one being invited.
“I do want to marry you, but I will not force,” muttered Delano who deliberately stroked the cheek of the beautiful woman he liked. “You are free to choose.”
“How about I reject you?” adelia asked just to know.
“Then Mama must be patient to have a grandson or maybe have to be sincere if she will not get a grandson,” Delano replied as if it was nothing.
“Why is that?” To be honest, Adelia was very surprised by Daddy's reply. “Daddy will have to stay married.”
“I don't think I'd get married if it wasn't you. I guess this time, I really fell in love.” Delano said it in a soft voice that made Adelia easily fall asleep.
“Daddy must have just bombed.” Although in denial, but the tone of Adelia's voice sounded doubtful. “There's no way Daddy would prefer me over Sister Natasnya.”
“But that's the reality. It's hard to prove, but that's Adelia's reality. I like you a lot more, than him.” Delano still continues to stroke the cheek of the woman he likes, making Adelia more blushing.
“Because of that, please don't be so adorable like this. I'm afraid I can't help myself.”
Honestly speaking, Delano could not bear to see Adelia's reddened face. But how is he a normal guy too. If the woman he likes to put on an adorable face, Delano so want to embrace and taste the lips that will certainly feel very sweet.
“If I asked Daddy not to hold back, what would Daddy do?” Adelia asked still with a blushing face.
“You really want to know?” Delano raised his eyebrows. “I will not stop if it has started loh.” It was clearly a threat, but that did not mean Delano could not carry out the threat.
“Just do what Daddy wants to do.” Unexpectedly, Adelia gave permission. “I won't mind.”
