High School: Way to Forever

It was Father Jo!

Marrie was a little shocked to see him at such time. It was already late enough and the time of dinner. Seeing him here raised many questions in her mind.

Seeing Marrie in thoughts, Grandpa Jo cleared his throught to bring her back.

Hearing this, she came back into her senses. "Come inside."She moved back a little and let Grandpa Su enter the room.

"Your house is nice." As expected. Whenever he comes here, he says this. She loves this house as she got this apartment on rent from her own part-time salary.

"Why you are here so late?" Marrie asked.

"I-"

"Dad." Addie was doing his homework when he heard the bell ring. He was somewhat suspicious who was there at this time so he got out to see. But he saw his dad now!

"Addie... Come, give the father a hug." But Addie didn't move from his place. Why will he? He knew everything about his father and mother despite being young.

But then he got a signal from Marrie. He went towards him and hugged his father tightly. No matter what, he was still his father.

Grandpa Jo patted his little head. "You have grown up so much. See, your hairs are also big. Get a hair cut." Addie nodded and asked him to sit.

"Father, will you like to have dinner with us? We don't have anything special like your chefs but if you like..."

Grandpa Jo turned towards her and said,

"Marrie, I know you hate him. But thank you for asking. I'm being greedy and yes, I want to have dinner with you both."

"You both talk and I will arrange dinner for us." saying this, she went towards the kitchen. But the thought was revolving in her mind that why he came here? Is there anything important?

She went back to the dining table and arranged dinner there. "Everyone comes here."

Addie and Grandpa Jo came and the family of three started eating dinner.

"Marrie, I have something important to discuss." he suddenly said in a very serious tone.

"What it is?" her eyes were still on her bowl.

"Liam came today to my house." He said slowly but Marrie was confused. Why this concern her?

"So? He is Walker's uncle's son. He can come there anytime he wants."

Grandpa Jo was a little nervous about how to disclose his real motive. But he has to do this.

"H-He came for a special motive. L-Liam asked me .... y-your hand in m-marriage."

Choked!

Marri actually spits out the bite in her mouth. Is this a joke? Was today a national joke day?

"DAD!!! What are you sayingggg???" she thought that she heard wrong. Marrie actually went to her room and brought an earbud and cleaned her ear first.

"Okay, now say."

"Marrie... It is true. Liam wants to marry you."

"Are you both crazy? I'm just a normal girl, not the princess or young miss of any rich family. He is such a womanizer and he says he wants to marry me?" Marrie started laughing loudly.

How can she digest it? Liam's bad habits were known to her. Her Sarah's aunt used to tell her sometimes that her son has spoiled so much that she didn't know what to do?

How can someone like him ask her to marry? For god's sake, we never talked also except saying a few words!

"I know it is not easy for you. Just keep your distance from him. The more the better. Even if he looks for you, ignore him or don't even go in front of him."

Marrie had to agree to this thought of her father. She has to maintain her distance. If she didn't, her life will become a living hell.

But it was unknown to her that her fate was already written with him.
