Billionaire's Love novel Chapter 48

~6 months later~

It's been six months since Eric has proposed me. I asked him to give this whole thing a little time and he totally understood. He didn't even asked me once if I was ready yet. He said he can wait till forever for that moment. Jade was so happy to know that I was engaged to Eric and Eleanor just fainted right there. Overdramatic.

I was right now sitting in Eric's penthouse. He still doesn't talk to his parents. Although, he do visit them sometimes. But only if either Ethan or Cassandra are with him. I tried talking to him about this but he usually cut me off or change the topic. At the end of the day, they are his parents and he can't stay angry at them forever. He has to look at them like normal people who make mistakes.

I saw him coming down the stairs and sitting beside me on the couch. He held my hand and gave me a kiss on my lips.

"Eric" I said.

"Hmm"

"I think that I am ready for the marriage" I said and he looked at me like he heard it wrong.

"What? Say that again" He said.

"I am ready for the marriage" I repeated.

He just crashed his lips on mine and kissed me with passion and love.

"I love you so much" he said.

"I love you too" I replied and he embraced me in a tight hug.

"What do you want to do today?" He asked.

"You'll do whatever I say?" I asked

"Whatever you say. Today is your day" he said.

"Eric every girl wants to get married, but having the blessings of the elders. Today you are going to your parents and going to sort out everything."

"Bu-" He started but I cut him off.

"Eric I don't have parents that is why I want your parents to stay happy with us. Not just being those formal people whom we see once or twice in a year. They will attend our wedding. Please. Do it for me. And believe me you will feel better" I said.

He huffed and covered his face with his hands.

"Okay. But only for you" he said

"Thank you" I said.

"Now get ready" He said.

"Mister, I am not coming with you. Your parents, you talk" I said.

"Oh who was giving a life lesson right now huh?" He said crossing his arms.

"That was for you, not me" I said.

"Come on Alissa please. I need some power to face them. And if you'll come with me, I am sure I'll be able to do it" he said giving me those puppy eyes at the end.

I huffed and raised my hands "Okay okay I will come with you. But you will have to do the talking okay?'' I said and he nodded.
