Author POV

After another half hour of silent driving, they finally arrived at the hotel- It was the same one where sister Samantha had come before with her. Edward stepped out of the car and came around to her side, opening the car door for her. She got out slowly, feeling the weight of nerves settle in her chest. Just then, one of the hotel staff approached them.

"Mr. and Mrs. Davies are waiting for you" he informed Edward politely.

Hearing this, Amelia's heart pounded even harder, and her feet seemed frozen in place. She couldn't bring herself to move. Noticing she hadn't followed him, Edward turned back and saw the unease written all over her face.

Without a word, he walked closer, placing a gentle hand on her head, a comforting gesture that made her look up at him. His expression softened as he moved his hand down to hold her hand, his palm warm and reassuring around her own. With a gentle squeeze, he gave her the courage she needed to take the first step forward.

But that small spark of courage faded the moment they reached the closed door of the room. Amelia stopped in her tracks, her gaze lowered, making Edward pause and look at her.

"I... I need to use the washroom" she murmured, avoiding his eyes

He nodded "Alright let's go" he said, as he planned to go with her

"No... I'll go by myself" she quickly interjected "You go ahead I just... need a minute"

Edward studied her for a moment, his expression softening "They are here to meet you Sweetie" he said gently trying to reassure her

She looked at him as he denote her sweetie with his attracting soft and comforting voice "..... Just one minute please" she whispered her voice almost pleading

With a sigh, he gestured to a female staff member nearby to escort her. Once she was out of sight, he took a steadying breath and entered the room.

Inside there was a large elegant round table dominated the space. Mr. Emmanuel Davies, His father sat calmly in one of the chairs, while Mrs. Sophia Davies, his mother seated beside him with a frown.
The two seats next to her were empty, waiting for Edward and Amelia.

Edward greeted his parents as he walked into the room. His mother immediately raised an eyebrow, her voice filled with disbelief.

"Seriously Edward? Day after tomorrow? Are you out of your mind? Why are you in such a rush to marry her?" she exclaimed with her tone sharp

Edward didn't take her comment too seriously and respond casually "Not the same topic again Mom. It was you who was so desperate for me to get married in the first place" Sophia rolled her eyes

"So you wouldn't even do pre wedding events?? Just wedding!"

As Sophia asked him this, Emmanuel also asked him "is the preparation for the wedding going well?" His question made Sophia gave a shocked eyes at her husband

"Yes Dad, everything is going well" Edward replied

"And what about wedding dress-" Emmanuel was asking but got interrupted when Sophia lowly said his name with anger "Emmanuel!"

"Come on Sophia, wedding card had been given to guests" Emmanuel said which made Sophia to grit her teeth

"Ofcourse, it's YOUR son doing to have no other way" she murmured
"Oh you can't blame me entirely, you also gave your cooperation to create this MY son so it's OUR son Darling" Emmanuel said in a kidding way to her which only made her roll her eyes again, she was so done with the men of her family.
