Chapter 181 - Approvals

Emily bit on her lower lip as she watched Domenic coming towards her. She could feel his cold and overbearing aura radiating throughout the hall.

As soon as he approached her, he grasped one of her hands in a loose grip before pulling her towards Kaiden who was still kneeling on the floor.

"Nick..."

She whispered his name in a barely audible tone but as her brother turned his attention to her, it was clear that he heard her.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down a little bit before speaking, "It was me who told him to seek your and others' permission. But I have no idea that he's going to do it here in front of....."

"Do you like him?" His sudden question made Emily shut up as she stared at her eldest brother with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

"I'm asking you, Emilia, do you like Kaiden?" Domenic repeated his question as he kept his eyes trained on her face. He could see how nervous she was but since Kaiden had already created a scene in front of so many people, this was the best way to deal with the situation.

Emily was silent as she could not help but turn her angry gaze towards the stupid Young Master Sullivan who was staring back at her with affection-filled eyes. At that moment, she wanted to punish him by making him kneel until he was no longer able to keep his eyes open. 

Seeing that her anger was doing nothing to change the smirk on the stupid man's face, she decided to deal with him later. Taking another deep breath, she collected her emotions and looked at Nick as she replied, "I think he's not that bad. Just need a little bit of supervision and I'm sure he will be perfect." 

She watched as a frown appeared on Kaiden's handsome face while a small smile finally bloomed on Domenic's lips.

"Alright! Since my sister thinks that you deserve a chance, I will allow you that chance. But let me make one thing very clear. Though you are my first choice for her ideal life partner, unfortunately, you are not the only one. If due to your bad luck you failed in proving yourself a worthy candidate for her life partner, I won't think twice before kicking you out of the list." 

Domenic's voice boomed throughout the hall, making sure that every single person present there would be able to listen to his words. 

Daniel walked closer to stand next to Nick as he spoke, "As long as Sorellina is happy, I don't have a problem with you. Also, in the past few years, I have come to know you on a deeper and personal level and I can tell that you are really a good person in and out. I'm sure you will keep her happy." 

The smile on his face and the warmth that was present in his eyes was a clear sign that he was actually happy at the moment. He had long guessed that Emily was Kaiden's mate but he never got the proof to confirm it. According to Daniel, Kaiden was really a qualified man to become his sister's mate or life partner, especially since she also liked him.

"I'm definitely not a big fan of yours but I'll give you a chance considering that you are Emmy's mate. Just don't let me catch you making her upset. You won't like the consequences." Leo threatened the man who was not only a hundred times stronger than him but also as crafty as Domenic.

However, the boy was ready to act like a big and strong man for the sake of his little sister.

The next person standing in the line was Simon who just nodded his head in approval. Though he did not speak, the good thing was that he approved.

"I think he's not too bad," Crist said with a light shrug as he gave a quick look to his sister whom he wanted to pull in a tight warm hug but was unable to do so because of his stupid bet with Mark.

After five out of six brothers showed their approval, all the eyes turned towards Mark who had been silently observing everything. As he realized that it was finally his turn to speak, he just let out a sigh and moved his gaze towards his brand new leather boots to admire their good quality.

His actions made everyone puzzled as they could not decide if he was thinking about the matter or was rejecting Kaiden as his sister's boyfriend. 

"No need to rack your brains to understand his actions. The fact that he has not clearly stated his disapproval and he's still standing here, means that he also accepts Kaiden request. Now, you have approvals from all six of us." 

The last sentence was directed at Kaiden as Daniel gave the man a soft pat on the shoulder after helping him to stand up.

The very next second, all the guests who had appeared at the celebration party, started congratulating and clapping as they all witnessed such a rare and happy episode.

Who would have thought that the actual reason behind the happy collaboration of the Sullivans and the Alessandros and Evans, was none other than the young Princess of the Alessandro Empire?

Emily felt her heart filling with warmth as she looked at her brothers who had so easily accepted Kaiden just because they wanted to see her happy. 

"Thank you. I promise that I won't let you down. I won't let her down." Kaiden announced as his eyes moved towards his angel who was securely wrapped in Leo's arms as he whispered something in her ear which made her chuckle softly.

The urge of pulling the girl in his arms and finally claiming her as his girlfriend was making his heart flutter. However, he was aware that his soon-to-be brothers-in-laws would definitely not appreciate his actions. 

Looked like he still needed to wait for a little bit...!
