“So hurry up, take a call and explain her,” she added nervously.
Just as I thought she is being supportive and understanding me… However, at the moment, I couldn’t understand what dad felt regarding this whole thing. His face looked blank… Anyway, it is a good sign that he is still listening to me without scolding. “I tried to call her a lot, but she doesn’t answer. I need to meet her personally and explain everything.”
“How can you do it? Where is the engagement?” mom asked.
“Hotel Aurora,” I said slowly.
“What? That is far away. You are not stable enough to travel that far.” mom said.
“I know, mom, but I can’t let her get engaged to Andrew. I must stop her.” I said.
“She is not getting married today, Jake… Who cares about engagements? Didn’t you get engaged to Marina then?” mom asked.
“I know, mom… I can understand what you said. But you don’t know Andrew’s real face. I am so damn afraid about my princess…” as soon as the word princess released from me, I felt really embarrassed. Mom chuckled…
“Princess…” she said again.
“You really love her so much, don’t you, Jakie? I can’t wait to see her… But how can you travel that far, darling?” mom asked worriedly.
Then she looked at dad, who was silent for a long time.
“Jake, what mom said is true. We can’t let you go that far right now. But I want to fulfill your birthday wish as well…” dad said thoughtfully.
“If I meet her and promise her that I will look into who is behind your accident and if it is Andrew, I will take care of him, would it change the way she thinks?” dad asked.
“Of course, dad… If you tell something like that personally and guarantee her that Andrew can do no harm to me, she would surely listen.” I said immediately. There is no doubt Sarah would accept it. She respects and trusts my dad so much… “Then Jake, you don’t have to remove all your wires and go out. Just stay here, take medicine and rest… I will go and talk to her.” dad said.
“What?” this time, not just me, but Luke also said shockingly.
“Are you going all the way there to meet her?” I asked.
“Of course… I can do that for my only son…” he said.
“Dad!!!” I couldn’t stop tears filling in my eyes. Dad has always shown me his tough side. Usually, it is super hard to get his approval for anything. So when he said he will go all the way there and talk to Sarah, it made me so surprised and at the same time so touched…
He is not just my dad, he is the president of the country. A man with great responsibilities… Yet he volunteers to do this much for me…
“I love you, dad… Love you so much…” I said. I couldn’t even remember when is the last time I told him that I love him. I think the last time was when I was in kindergarten…
Sarah’s POV
**********
“Mr. McMiller…” I said, standing up.
“Sarah…” he again said, looking at my head to toes…
“You are not average looking, I think it is the messy way you dress…” he said. He can turn even a compliment to something hurtful.
“I don’t think you came here to talk about my look…” I said annoyingly.
“Yes, I came here for something else… But when I see you, I honestly understood my son’s decision,” he said, smiling.
I pouted and looked away.
“Actually, Sarah, Jake wanted to come and meet you.”
When he said, I felt my heart stopped for a moment.
“He told his mom and me about you. He said you think Andrew is responsible for his accident, and therefore to save him, you agreed to marry Andrew. He also said, you just pretend like you think he cheated on you, just to avoid him.”
My baby… How can I ever lie to you, Jake… You can understand me very well. I knew it won’t be easy with you, but I have to try… I want to protect you, my love…
“I think you know that tomorrow is his birthday…”
Of course, I know… How can I forget that?
“His birthday wish was to let him come here and talk to you. See, my son is willing to put his life in danger for you, but you just ignore the warning you received and let him get hurt.”
I am doing all these to protect him, Mr. McMiller. Since his dad is not taking any actions to save him.
“He is not stable enough to travel this far… So I volunteered to come and talk to you. I said to him that I will promise you to find out who is responsible for his accident and if it is Andrew, I would take care of him… I told him as his dad, I will guarantee you that I will protect him from Andrew…”
Wow!!! So clever, Mr. McMiller… You should get the best dad award and also the best actor award….
“So, you came all the way here, just to make Jake believe you?” I asked.
“Yes, he is my only son. The heir to all my wealth. I need him to trust me.” he said without any shame.
“I thought you are a good person, Mr. McMiller… But you lie to your own son…”
He laughed…
“Good people can never become politicians, Sarah…”
Disgusting!!! I wonder how Jake got his noble qualities when his dad is a true monster.
“Ah! He said he wants to talk with you…” he said, taking his phone out.
“Remember everything we agreed to… You and your family can live happily without any trouble, and Jake will also be safe until you keep onto that agreement,” he said before dialing.
Well… I hate Andrew, but right now, I hate Jake’s dad even more…
“Jakie…” he siad, looking at me.
“She is not ready to listen, son… I will put her on loudspeaker…”
“Princess… Listen, I know why you are doing this. See, dad is ready to take care of Andrew. You don’t have to worry about anything… Please… I beg you… Don’t get engaged to that bastard… You are mine… I can’t live without you…” Jake kept on saying… “Jake… I don’t care if Andrew tried to hurt you or not… If he did it, that means he is ready to do anything for me. But you… You cheated on me when I was loving you with all my heart and soul…”
“You don’t believe that s**t about me cheating on you… I know that Sarah…” he said confidently.
