Behind his dark Aura [ Unedited ] ✔️

Chapter 38

“You're getting old, Liam. When do you plan to get married?"

Nagulat ako dahil sa tanong ng uncle ni Liam. May katandaan na ito pero ang gwapong itsura nito ay hindi parin kumukupas. We were still in his office when his three uncles suddenly arrived.

I looked at him to see his expression and reaction because of his uncle's question, but his face showed no emotion at all. Kampante lang siyang nakaupo habang nakatingin sa mga uncle niya.

Ako naman ay nakatayo malapit sa may pintuan at pasimpleng nakikinig sa seryosong usapan nila. I looked at him and waited for his answer.

“I don't have a plan yet," he said with a lazy tone.

Suminghap ang uncle niya dahil sa naging sagot niya.. “We have a known daughter of our former business partner. That woman is also good when it comes to business. Sa tingin ko mas lalawak at mas lalaki ang kumpanya mo kung siya ang mapapangasawa mo."

My eyes widened because of what I heard. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero kumirot ang dibdib ko. Parang bigla akong nanliit dahil wala akong alam pagdating sa negosyo.

Muli akong tumingin kay Liam at wakas ay nakitaan ko narin ng reaksiyon ang mukha niya. His eyebrows were furrowed and crossed as he looked seriously at his uncles.

“What do you mean by that?" he asked seriously.

Umayos ng upo ang uncle niya at huminga muna bago magsalita. “You know, Liam. We don't want you to grow old alone so we will find a way for you to find your future wife. I think arranged marriage is the better way."

“What? Arrange merriage?" gulat na tanong ni Liam at hindi makapaniwalang tumingin sa uncle niya.. Kahit sino naman ay magugulat sa sinabi ng uncle niya.

“Why? There is nothing wrong with arranged marriage.." giit nito pabalik. “Mabait, matalino at magandang babae si Alyana. I'm sure you two will be perfect for each other."

“I agree with that," sang-ayon ng isa pa niyang uncle. He was quiet earlier and now that the topic is about arranged marriage, he suddenly spoke. “You're getting older Liam so you should just find someone to spend your life with. And I agree that Alyana is the good woman for you."

Napayuko ako dahil sa panliliit. Maybe Alyana is a beautiful and smart woman because they wouldn't have voted for her if she's not. Samantalang ako ay simpleng babae lang at hindi pa nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral..

Maybe Liam isn't really for me.. Magiging madali naman siguro para sa akin na tanggapin ang gustong mangyari ng mga uncle niya dahil hindi ko naman siya maalala. I don't even remember when we got into a relationship and how I met him.

“I don't need to use women to further expand my company." muli akong napaangat ng tingin dahil sa sinabi niya. “Kaya kong palawakin ang kumpanya ko nang ako lang. And first of all. I won't agree with arranged marriage."

“But you need to find a partner in life.." Nakakaramdam na ang ng intense sa usapan nila. “You should get into a relationship. Lagpas na ang edad mo sa kalendaryo. Alyana is—"

“I don't need her because i have a girlfriend." pinutol niya ang sasabihin ng uncle niya. I can see that his uncles were surprised and stunned because of what they heard.

“Oh, Liam." matapos ang katahimikan ay biglang tumawa ang isa pa sa mga uncle niya. “You don't have to lie just to escape what we want to happen." tukoy nito sa arrange marriage..

“Yeah, we are your uncle and we are your only family. Kaya malalaman namin kung nagsisinungaling ka o hindi." Nagtawanan sila. “You've been with us for a long time and even once you didn't introduce anyone to us as your girlfriend.
