The Arranged Marriage

Contract

Jax Pov
Few days passed and I never heard about Arielle again, and I don't bother to ask about her and it's in favor to me. I'm also back at my home which I missed, finally I can have peace time with myself without bothering my parents.

I went to work and casually enters my office, but to my surprise, Mr. Rousseau was there waiting at the couch.

"Good morning, Mr. Rousseau. What brings you here?" I spoke, he stands up and smile at me..

"Good morning, Jax. I went here to talk business with you. What I mean is about...Arielle" he spoke, I nodded my head and sit across him.

"Let's take a seat" I spoke, so he looked at me.

"It's just few weeks from now before you marry my daughter. And you two won't seem to talk a lot and I think it would be a problem in your marriage. So, I think it would be better if you two will, you know, have dates? Just a simple date will do." he spoke, I keep my face straight and showed a small smile.

"Even if she don't want to. Pick her up at the house. And please, have patience with her. She's a little moody and kind of a careless girl." he added, I nodded my head cause that's what I noticed too. Moody and careless screams her name.

"Well, I see that it's really important to you for us to have this talk. I'll take it as a favor from you Mr. Rousseau. I'll bring her home safe and well everytime we go on dates." I spoke, he smiled and nodded his head. I guess he really wants someone to take care of her daughter for what she is and make her feel the love she deserve. But I think it's wrong to marry her off to me cause I don't think I can do that. I don't even want to be in this set up, what more to treat the girl nice?

"I'll do what I can" I spoke, he nodded and stands up so I did too.

"Thank you. I'll be leaving now cause I know you have to work. Have a great day, Jax" he spoke, I smiled at him.

"My pleasure Mr. Rousseau. Have a great day" I spoke, he left and I was here still standing and letting out a sigh.

"Dates" I uttered and sighed again before sitting on my chair. I did my work and finished early. Now, I'm just having my coffee and Dad entered.

"Done working?" he asked and take a seat,

"Yes. What's news?" I spoke , he stared at me like he was looking for answers.

"What?" I spoke, he tilted his head from side to side.

"Did Mr. Rousseau went here and talked to you?" he asked, I nodded my head.

"Yes. And if you're asking what did we talked about, well it's about Arielle. And I think you will be happy with it" I spoke, he raises his brows waiting for it.

"He asked me to date Arielle, and I agreed. Happy?" I spoke, he smiled immediately and really looks happy.

"Well, it's a great news" he spoke, I let out a chuckle.

"Mr. Rousseau really seems to care about his daughters happiness. He wanted someone to love his daughter for what she is and someone who can give her what she deserves" I spoke, then I took a deep breath.

"And I think it's wrong to marry her off to me, Dad. I can't love her and give her what she deserves. We'll just be strangers all throughout the marriage." I spoke, my Dad then let out a chuckle.

"You're just saying that now, but sooner or later, you will see yourself falling for her. I agreed to marry her off to you cause I know you can give her all that, Jax. I won't agree if I know you can't. I'm your father, and I know what you are and what you can do and what you won't do." he spoke and I was left speechless, it's true cause Dad was really an observer and he knows what our actions meant, me and my brothers.
