One Night in Paris
Chapter 25 - The Dilemma

"Hufffff, okay. Now you have to eat, before we go back to Lyon"

Jack turned his gaze and looked at the woman who had given birth to him questioningly. She said there was something her parents planned.

"we will continue your matchmaking, and mommy won't want to hear your rejection. What's ahead Monica and the Collins family.

"No, I'm not going to continue that ridiculous matchmaking. I'd rather be cut off from the Addhison family than marry a woman I don't love"

Plakkkk

A hard slap landed on Jack's cheek. Makes the cheeks red.

Jack stared at the man who slapped him. The middle-aged man stared at him dislikefully, and was out of nowhere.

"How dare you speak like that. Look Jack Collins, if only we had children other than you.... It's been a long time since we removed you from the family card"

"Then why don't you guys make another child and get betrothed to that woman"

"You...." Abraham, who had run out of patience, now raised his hand to throw a slap.

"Already, don't fuss here. Didn't you realize we were in the hospital. We can disturb other patients" Ines spoke of mediating this commotion.

"Tell that to your son Ines" said Abraham, who now prefers to sit on the couch.

Ines sighed harshly, sometimes confused about the nature of her husband and son. Her indisputable husband was also a forced man. While the only son of his puppet who is hard-headed is also a dissident.

"Jack, mommy please. Marry Monica, her father is willing to help our struggling family"

"No, I don't want to. I just want to marry you...."

"Somehow you never changed before. Always craving for the woman, what can she be proud of? A fortune? Of beauty? Popularity? the woman lost in any way to Monica"

"And I don't know what makes Daddy always force my way of life. It's been enough all this time that I've been restrained, now I want to determine my own way of life"

"Whatever you say, that's clearly one. There was no other daughter-in-law besides monica, period" Abraham said. Because if he stays here, then the fight will continue to tomorrow.

"Until now I won't marry monica or any woman of daddy's choice. Daddy heard" cried Jack, so that his voice would reach the middle-aged male forcer.

"Jack, stop. Don't make this more complicated. You better do what your Daddy says"

"No mom, will stay in my mind" said Jack, insisting, just like Abraham, who did not want to be restrained by his family and determine his own way of life.

Ines sighed harshly, perhaps it was already his destiny to have to face a stubborn man.

"But do you want to see what your daddy's been keeping ruined all this time?"

"That's...."

"You know? So far daddy has always tried to keep that company. Your dad loved the company so much because it was the only thing your grandfather left" Ines explained at length, leaving Jack silent.

Dilemma, that is the situation that can describe his current position.

If he refuses, he will be the source of his family's destruction. And if he accepts, then he will lose the woman he loves.

"But mom..."

"Mommy knows you don't love Monica, but love can come with time. For example, Mommy and Daddy, we were also betrothed, we didn't know each other. But because we want to accept each other, and open our hearts to each other, love begins to grow in the depths of our hearts" explained Ines told a long story, to convince his son only wayangnya.
