"Great, here you are! An..I mean pretty lady, meet my grandson, your husband to be". As soon as the old man spoke, there was a blank expression on the young man's face while Jude remained shocked. She paid no heed to Old Brown's slip of tongue.
Even if she was an homeless young lady, she could still recognize this man anywhere. The youngest, richest and most eligible bachelor in the whole of Country A.
Angela opened and closed her mouth trying to find words to say but it appeared that she was tongue tied. Who wouldn't be tongue tied seeing a Greek god standing before you?
"Grandson, I picked the right wife for you!", The old man cheered excitedly not bothering to take a look at his grandson's expression. As usual, he knew it was a blank expression so he wasted no time on him.
Angela snapped back to the present when she heard the door of her ward open and the nurse walked in. After series of check up and prescription of drugs to take, she was discharged but not after getting a serious warning from the doctor asking her not to go through any stress until she's fully recuperated.
The old man cared not about the doctor's words and happily forced himself to push Angela in a wheelchair. Jude had volunteered to help but all he got was a glare in return so he chose not to interfere. Angela felt uncomfortable being pushed by the old man but she didn't complain cause she was busy staring at Josh who had no idea he was being admired. The young man had a blank expression while walking beside his grandfather. He was every woman's dream, a six ft two tall man, muscles in the right places, pearly skin which was better than most women's skin, thin reddish lips, a pointed nose, thin eyebrows, long lashes that looked like that of a female, a head full of black curly short hair.
Twenty minutes later, Angela stared in awe at the huge building before her. She heard the old man calling it a mansion and thought he was exaggerating but staring at it now, she called it a castle.
"Come on, you can admire more once you get inside". She heard the old man say and she smiled back at him.
Just then, a question hit her; 'why are you here?'
Angela shook it off for the main time not knowing that the future had a lot in store for her. They had just walked into a huge room that appeared to be the living and Angela was amazed. She found no words to describe all she was seeing. It felt so unreal to her. If she was told that she'd get to see stuffs like this in close scrutiny, she'd definitely laugh at the person.
She pinched herself, hoping that it was not a dream and when she felt the pain, she realized it wasn't a dream and she hoped she'd keep living in this fantasy even after she confirmed it was not a dream.
"Dad, where've you been?", A richly dressed middle-aged man asked as he stood before old man Brown.
"When have you ever cared about where I go?", Old man Brown asked back not minding Angela who was new to do this.
"Who is she?", The middle aged man turned his attention to Angela who sat uncomfortably on the wheelchair. Why did she feel that the way this man was looking at her was like he was about to murder her?
"Your daughter-in-law".
