David walked over to Martin's side and sit beside him.
" Cousin, I know that you love Arriane like your own, I love her too just as you do but we both know that there will come a time when she will find a man that she loves and she will then settle down.
Tonight is Morgana's engagement party we can't ruin her night just because we are not yet ready to see Arriane together with the man she loves and will soon take her from us.
Look at Marcus and Simone, they are Arriane's real parents and they accept the news wholeheartedly, you know why? Because when Arriane get married, it doesn't mean that we are going to lose her, instead we are just welcoming a new member of the family
Besides, we are not even sure if that person is a man or if that person is Arriane's friend and not her boyfriend
David tried to console his cousin, Martin as he knows that Martin is not yet ready to see his adopted daughter getting married. He and Martin put their whole lives in taking care of Arriane and then train her so that she can protect herself
They both remain single and treated Arriane as their real daughter when they hear from Morgana that Arriane is on her way home and bringing someone with her, he felt sad thinking that the day that someone will sweep their daughter, Arriane, and take her away to build their own family has finally come
" Uncle Martin, uncle David, there is no need for the two of you to be sad, I'm sure that once you meet that person both of you will be delighted to accept him in our family," Morgana said, as she was listening to David when he was trying to comfort Martin
" Are you saying that that person is really Arriane's boyfriend? Did we know him?
David questioned Morgana after hearing what she just said
" Haha, it's not for me to tell, just wait for Arriane and you will soon find out who that man is"
As Morgana was saying those words, they heard a vehicle coming to a stop in front of the house and the house servant hurriedly went to see who it was and also to open the gate
" Mom, I'm home!!! Arriane who has just arrived with Jarren called out to Simone, as she was wondering why there are so many people decorating their house
As she looks around her, she thought that her mother must be preparing a welcome party for her, but she then shakes her head rejecting the idea as it doesn't seem to be the case
She has just entered the parlour with Jarren when she saw her mother together with Ethan's mother who is also Jarren's Auntie
Simone and the others who gathered near Morgana's room went to see if the person who arrived is Arriane and her boyfriend when they saw Arriane walking towards them holding Jarren's hand, their eyes widened in surprised as they didn't expect that the man that Morgana told them earlier to be Arriane's boyfriend is none other than Jarren.
The mystery boyfriend is actually Jarren, Glenard's nephew and Ethan's first cousin
"......." Holy cow!!! Jarren? You are my daughter's boyfriend? David, Martin, and Marcus exclaimed simultaneously as the three of them didn't expect Jarren to be the mystery boyfriend
" hey, Jarren you really surprised us. How come you didn't mention to us that you and Marcus' daughter is having a connection and that you are Arriane's boyfriend? Glenard asked as he approached the newly arrived couple
" Oh, uncle Glenard, I'm sorry if we didn't inform you as it is all too sudden for the two of us. I have known Arriane for years but she is not even aware of my existence. I was just fortunate enough that we met again during one of my mission in Milan
Actually, we worked together on that mission, and from then on, I started courting her. It was just recently when she accepted me as her boyfriend" Jarren explained to his uncle Glenard and to all the people around them how he became Arriane's boyfriend
" So, that's how the two of you become lovers. Anyway, tonight is your cousin Ethan and Morgana's engagement party, go ahead and go to our house to change and get some rest. We are expecting the two of you tonight at the party, and since Arriane is Morgana's twin sister and she lives in this house, you don't have to worry about her getting lost in her own home"
After hearing Jarren explained how he became Arriane's boyfriend, Glenard revealed the good news to the two of them he even cracked a joke before he hastily added
Oh, by the way, your parents are coming over to attend your cousin's engagement party. They are on their way now. You go ahead and wait for them at home
".... What? Tonight is my sister's engagement party? Sis? How come you didn't tell me about it?
Arriane was so surprised upon hearing from Glenard that it was Morgana and Ethan's engagement party tonight, she then turns to her sister who is standing by the side and remains silent the whole time to question Morgana
" ah, hahaha, actually, just like you and Jarren everything between me and Ethan happens so fast. Even though we know each other for a long time and even have a relationship at that time, too many things happen that we separate our ways and didn't think that we will be together again after all this time.
" And so??? It still didn't explain how the two of you ended up together and now going to announce to the world that you are back together and will soon get married"
Arriane insisted on questioning Morgana as she waited for Morgana's answer with her arms folded across her chest
"...." Erm, why don't we go and have a seat first before I tell you all about it? Aren't you're tired of standing here questioning me?
Morgana retorted as she goes and walked over to a couch
