Chapter 12


    Thewyer read all of the surprising testament and it was so unbelievable. I just can’t believe my


    parents stated that.


    "Wait what?" I was totally surprised with everything that I heard from thatwyer.


    How can I need to be married at my age? I''m still young by the way. Only 19 years old....I really


    don’t know about this marriage thing. Besides, I can''t just ask Sasha to marry me, because Seth might


    kill me.


    "Mr Harrison? Do you still hear me or not?" Thewyer asked me.


    "B-but....I can''t follow this. I''m still not ready yet. Besides, I never have girlfriend before, how can I


    marry a girl just like that. That''s so not cool."


    "Mr Harrison, this your family tradition that you must obey it. Or you may not be able to im your


    parent’s wealth that will divide to the orphans around the city." He added.


    "But I never heard that such tradition they never mention it before." I protested. “My parents never


    mention about it at all.”


    "Well....they have their own reasons, maybe. But they left you a letter along with this testament if


    there is something bad happen to them." He then handed me a small envelope which he took it from


    his briefcase. "I hope you will consider it as soon as possible as you have only have a week left to


    make a good decision."


    A week? Wait…wait….how do I find a girl to get married in just 7 days! Man…this is totally


    disaster. I do really want to have family and be just like my parents but…ugh how can I describe this, I


    wasn’t ready yet.


    I turn to look at Mr Dawson but he only remained silent, not saying any words maybe thinking of

    something.


    The envelope which my parents left for me, I was so scared to read it anyway. I think I can’t handle


    it anymore because this is too much for me. But I miss them and this was thest thing my mom and


    dad wrote for me before they died.


    ''Dear my son, Nathan .


    If you ever read this letter, we must be not in this world anymore. I''m so sorry my darling for not


    being able to look after you until you fully grown. Mr Taylor must already read our testament, right? And


    you must be in shocked, my dear son. But the thing is, you need to obey our family rule. Every men in


    Harrison that lost their parents before their age are 19 must be married for a year, contract marriage,


    until they achieve 20 to im the wealth. I know it''s kind of cruel to you but, you must follow it, my dear


    son. I want the best for you, but we are not here anymore with you. I wish we never left you, Nathan .


    You are our only precious son and we really love you so much.


    Your father and I also married at 19, for your information, and we fall in love along with that time


    and then we have you. The most precious gift that we ever had. I hope you will consider ourst wish


    and our family’s tradition.


    Love mom.''


    I shed tears while reading the letter from my mom, and I have to obey it no matter what happen


    because I love you, mom, dad. I promise I will obey this because I want to be a good son for both of


    you.


    I wiped my tears and then took a look at thewyer then back to Mr Dawson.


    I nod as agree with the testament even though it’s hard for me, "I agreed, but the biggest problem


    is......I don''t have any suitable girls for me in my mind.” I confessed. “And I just can’t ask any random


    girl to marry me. That’s totally nonsense.”


    "Don''t worry, Nathan ." Mr Dawson said to me along with a smile. "I already have a suitable girl in


    my mind. Your father has been my friends since we were in college, besides he also helped me in so


    many things. So I think this is the right decision for me to repay him back."


    What is that supposed to mean? I really don’t get it.


    "I''ll let my eldest daughter to marry you, since your parents had mentioned about to get you two


    married since both of you still kids. And I also agreed with their suggestion. So what do you say,


    Nathan ? Will you marry my daughter, Be?"


    “Whoa…what????” My eyes almost popped put as soon as I heard his words. “Are you kidding


    me, Mr Dawson? How can I marry your daughter? She is my friend.”


    Seriously, I-I........I will marry his daughter? My own friend? Be Dawson?


    “Oh that’s really good then,” he replied. “It will be a lot easier since you both already friends and


    know with each other. You will getting along well, trust me.”
