OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 475 SUDDENLY
Stevan is hurriedly escorted by a bodyguard whom Haris sends to take him to Grace's place. Actually he knew the way to get there, but his status as a guest certainly limited his movement. The bodyguard gave a respectful nod and left Stevan at the door of the room where Grace and her father were staying.
Stevan's hand knocked slowly on the wooden door. Several times with intense beats to open from the inside. Fang Fang was astonished to see Stevan's unannounced arrival.
"You came here by yourself?" Fang Fang asked in shock, he was afraid that Stevan would steal the opportunity to come without permission.
"Dad Haris sent a bodyguard to take me here. I'm gonna go see Grace for a second." Stevan.
"Oh, come in." Fang Fang shifted his body so that Stevan could enter.
Grace stood up as she saw Stevan coming, ever since Weini left the room, she returned to accompany Kao Jing who had calmed down. Before leaving, Weini shook hands with Kao Jing. Slowly Kao Jing's consciousness gradually improved, he was not confused and frightened anymore.
"Grace.." -...." Lirih Stevan greets her lover. An unbearable longing when they meet every day but within shackling limits.
"Why are you here?" Grace seemed uncomfortable meeting Stevan with Kao Jing, she glanced back at Kao Jing who seemed to highlight Stevan seriously.
Stevan knows that Grace is panicking, perhaps not the kind of introduction Stevan and his future father-in-law expected Grace to have. "I'm here to see your father. At once see your condition...." Fizz Stevan.
Grace was silent, in fact, she also pityed Stevan who must have felt foreign here. Moreover, Grace's time was full on Kao Jing. Now her lover is determined to come to her here, Grace also did not until the day refused.
"Ng. yeah that's it." Grace muttered stiffly.
"Can I talk to your dad?" Stevan Pinta.
Grace frowned, "He doesn't understand your language. What do you want to say? Let me tell you."
Stevan was silent for a moment, he realized the language barrier. It was only because Fang, Grace, Haris, Weini and Xiao Jun smoothly communicated with him that Stevan had forgotten that he was different from the others.
Grace waited for Stevan's response, which still seemed to be thinking, but now the man was looking at her.
"Please tell him I'm Stevan, your friend in Jakarta and want to know him." Said Stevan who finally relied on the help of Grace as a translator.
Grace smiled and nodded, she approached her father and told him what Stevan had said. Kao Jing looked mangosteen, he looked at Stevan expressionlessly so that Stevan was nervous about making it.
The sharp glare of Kao Jing staring at Stevan made the young man pessimistic get a good impression in the eyes of his lover's father. Similarly, Grace who sculpts groggy because it was the first time he introduced a man even though in the status of friends.
Unexpectedly, Kao Jing flashed a smile aimed at Stevan, following a nod from the old man. Stevan was excited to see Kao Jing's response, so he immediately returned Kao Jing's smile and bowed respectfully. A new habit he learned from the Weini residence, saluting in such a manner.
Grace heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed like Kao Jing did not judge Stevan badly. He turned to Kao Jing and said, "Dad, I'm out for a second." Grace Whisper.
Kao Jing nodded in giving her permission. "Go, just talk outside of you guys." Soft words.
Stevan understood nothing to the point of surprise that Grace shamelessly withdrew her hand. "Let's talk outside." Take Grace.
Stevan took the time to stare at Kao Jing and bowed for a bit. Kao Jing only gave a wave of hands in return.
❤️❤️❤️
"I have to study harder to speak your language." Said Stevan so excited with his determination.
"Hmmm.. is not that easy, especially if it is not often practiced. What are you studying for anyway?" Grace asked in surprise, she looked at Stevan as she continued walking towards the garden in the pavilion.
"I don't need an intermediary to talk to my father-in-law." Stevan's murmured looked serious.
Grace's face flushed red, hearing Stevan call Kao Jing papa-in-law, making Grace's thoughts drift away.
"Hmm. We are not married yet, do not call papa-in-law, it is not polite to hear those who understand." Guman Grace is ashamed.
Stevan stopped walking and Grace realized that. He also stopped his steps, the two looked at each other with the body facing each other.
"Not yet, but it will soon become a reality. Grace, I seriously love you, will marry you, give you happiness in your life. Wait for me to formally propose to you in front of your father." Stevan said seriously.
Grace sighed, she stared the other way as Stevan grabbed her hand. They were still standing in a deserted corridor, not yet reaching the park but they were already caught up in serious talk.
"Stev, I love you too, I want to live with you. But... I'm not sure I can make you happy, do you know my status now? My father and I are not part of this family. We had an unpleasant past, I'm afraid I'll just ruin your reputation. Not necessarily your parents agree." Ogre Grace, he did not want to selfishly bind Stevan because he was self-conscious about his status.
Steven shook his head, which is why he rushed to see Grace because Haris had told him everything. The tense events in the main hall, which Stevan and Dina did not understand at all, apparently concerned the future of his future father-in-law.
"I don't care who you were in the past, no matter how complicated your problems are at this time. All I know is I need you to build a future with me. We still have hope of a wonderful future, as long as you believe I can give it to you." Stevan has never really expressed his feelings, and has never been so serious as to expect an answer.
Grace was speechless with teary eyes, a steady statement from Stevan sounding deeply touching. What else is there to doubt about Stevan's sincerity? Grace is the lucky one to get a man as good as him, and Grace will not waste a heart that has been sincere in love with him.
"Grace, before I proposed to you in front of your father... I haven't officially proposed to you with a ring either, sorry because it's beyond my expectations. But I want to ask you, really ask you... Will you be my wife?"
Stevan said with his hand on Grace's hand.
Grace was once proposed to by another man, but not this romantic. The luxury of previous applications that are not based on love, in fact, is less effective than simple applications that are only capitalized on heart intention and sincerity. That alone makes Grace happy. Without any hesitation, he voiced his answer.
"Yes, I'm willing."
