My Possessive Husband (ManxMan)

Chapter 7

      ~Renmen POV~

"You must tell me how you were able to get my son to settle down. I also wanted to know where and how you and my son met." Says the elegant woman, and waiting eagerly for my response. We are currently sitting down in the fancy living room. I was speechless, I had no idea how to reply to her whatsoever. I didn't know where to begin. My mother-in-law was rather entertained at my loss of words. So, instead the man who was sitting next to me, tried to answer her with careful ease.

"Mother, do understand that I of course, one day will settle down with someone, and that someone happened to be my Renmen" I could tell he had more to say, but she unmistakably ignored whatever he just said to her.

"I was talking to Renmen. I want him to reply to me, not you. So please Renmen, tell me at least how you met my son." She responded, her eyes boring into my own. Making it seem, as if she is looking into my soul. I lower my head, and began to speak, not really sure on what to say.

"Since it seems like I'm not wanted here, I'll head to the office. Renmen, I'll probably come home late, I won't be able to eat dinner with you tonight. Mother, don't try to call me when I'm at work, because I won't answer you. I'll probably see you again, goodbye." I nod in return, and he leaves. His mother disregarding him, only paying attention to me at the moment.

"Umm...Well, the first time I met N-Nicolas was in his office. I had to discuss some financial issues with him, because of my father." I didn't want to go into detail, and I don't think it will be a bright idea to tell her the whole reason why I'm really settling down with her son. The arrangement was consensual, but of course no other option was provided for me. Good thing I remembered to call him by his first name, because he will keep pestering me if I don't. I just find it reasonable and proper, to address him by his last name.

I assume that he wants me to call him by his first name, so it can be a sign of us getting closer. That's indeed the last thing I want to accomplish. He continually shows me the consequences, whenever I make the mistake of addressing him in the way I want. I glance at the classy woman in chic clothing, when looking at her I could tell she wasn't content with the little information I gave her. In the end she gave up, and continued pretending that the subject didn't matter. I was relieved, since I know I won't be able to somehow avoid the touchy subject again.

"Well, I definitely approve of your relationship. If my son is happy, that is all it matters. I'm sure my son already informed you that I decided to plan an engagement party. In fact, I already made some homemade invitations." I didn't want an engagement party, but she is so elated to have one. I guess I don't mind if she's happy, maybe it won't be so bad, I might even enjoy the party. She hands me a couple of card invitations. Now, who I'm I going to invite to the party?

"Hey! Wait up, Renmen!" hollers a familiar voice. I turn around, just to make sure that the voice belongs to who I believe it is. Undoubtedly I was right, it was Samson's smooth and baritone voice. I stop walking towards the university library, waiting for him as he wanted. I smile at him and he makes the same gesture, exposing his own healthy smile. I of course notice the look of admiration of Samson's boyish good-looks coming from the ladies, which are walking past and near us. I'm used to his appearance, and his friendly personality.

I can still remember the first time Samson and I met. I was running late to my microbiology class, and not paying much attention to my surroundings and I bumped into Samson. A quite embarrassing position, I almost fell, only just in time did he catch me in his arms. Ever since then I kept on meeting him, I believe in coincidental situations. We have become good friends, of course I was nervous and awkward when he first started having a conversation with me. Gradually I was able to be open around him, and just be myself.
