Chapter 1032 Call Me Dad


    Caspar and Lizzy shared looks with each other, not really knowing how to react with the news. It was


    just really surprising for both of them. They did not really expect Donna to just hand over her shares to


    their daughter!


    ''Donna is willing to hand her shares over to my daughter, which shows her sincerity, '' S''s parents


    mulled.


    Despite of the extravagant gift, there was still the hesitancy, on the part of Caspar, to marry his


    daughter off to George. It was public knowledge that there was something between George and Holley.


    He did not want his daughter to suffer in the future, if ever.


    If her parents were surprised with Donna''s generosity, it was jaw-dropping for S. Her eyes grew


    wide. ''Oh my! Is this for real?!'' she thought. "Umm…Auntie, I can''t ept your offer. Ah...D-Don''t you


    think it''s too much?" S asked stammering. Afraid that Donna misunderstood that she decided to


    marry George for his money, she hurriedly exined, "I choose George above all, not the things that


    really in my heart, '' S prayed.


    Donna did not realize she was holding her breath until she exhaled slowly. ''I didn''t expect this is how


    she really feels, '' she thought. ''She''s different from the other girls I encountered.'' Then, she gave her a


    big, genuine smile. "I know," she simply answered her. "I have already given this a lot of thought since I


    learned that you are pregnant. Thepany will be yours while I will enjoy my retirement by taking


    care of my future grandchild."


    "Are you sure that this is really a good idea?" S was thinking that her future mother-inw was still


    strong to work and more than capable enough to manage apany. She believed that there were


    persons who were born to work and Donna fell under that category. Moreover, she feared the future of


    thepany in her hands. She did not know anything about businesses, not to mention managing a


    effort and sweat. She knew she had good sense, but was it enough for managing apany? "And, I


    don''t know anything about BM Corporation? What I studied and finished wasn''t even connected with it!"


    S continued reasoning.


    Seeing S''s stress, George gave her the assurance he thought she needed. "Don''t worry. I am here. I


    will help you," he said softly. He continued assuring her, "Since mom already decided to give you all her


    shares, there''s nothing left to do but to ept it. You will be the new owner of BM, and I will take care


    of it." As a joke, to ease the tension, he saidughingly, "Looks like I will be working for you." And


    everyoneughed with him.


    With the way the conversation turned, Caspar and Lizzy felt somehow relieved. Seeing that George


    agreed with the transfer of shares, they believed that George was serious in marrying their daughter.


    For if not, why would he go along with Donna''s decision?


    Despite of George''s assurance, S was still a bit apprehensive. Looking at him, she shook her head


    and told him, "No, I think I can''t do this. I..."


    "Of course, you can!" George cut her off with whatever she would still have to say. He couldn''t believe


    his girl saying no to his mother''s gift. It seemed that his girl still had lots of excuses not to ept. There


    was no other way of stopping her but by butting in and cutting her off like that. "You are the woman I


    am going to marry. I believe in you. To show you the beginning of my never-endingmitment to you,


    I promise that I will never divorce you," George said earnestly. He thought that, perhaps, this might be


    one of the reasons why the discussion over thepanysted for so long—her fear of him leaving her


    and the stake of her reputation due to epting if ever that would happen. To emphasize he really


    meant what he said, he continued, "This will also be a guarantee for Uncle and Auntie, so that they will


    not have any second thoughts on marrying you off to me." Upon saying this, George looked at his


    future inws.


    Caspar and Lizzy could not believe what they heard. They were so surprised! They did not think that


    George had it in his bones tomit like that! "A-Are you sure?" Caspar asked. He looked at George


    in the eye. Despite of the given promise, Caspar could still not help but ask George cautiously. Anyway,


    promises were made to be broken, as the saying went.


    "Yes, I am!" George answered vehemently, not really surprised with the question. If he were also the


    father, he would definitely feel and do the same. "Uncle, this is MY PROMISE to S." George couldn''t


    help but emphasize the two words. He hoped that he effectively delivered his intentions across them.


    But still, Caspar and Lizzy exchanged nces, and hesitancy still mirrored on their faces.


    The exchanged looks between husband and wife did not escape Donna, George and S. Still, the

    three patiently waited for Caspar''s and Lizzy''s final decision. Time ticked by, and there was still no


    word. Everybody knows that patience is a virtue. Unfortunately, it was not one of Donna''s strongest


    assets. "What else are you worried about? Aren''t you satisfied with what George has promised?"


    questioned Donna with the softest voice she could muster.


    Caspar wistfully frowned. Though they thought it took him too long to decide, for Caspar it was better


    than to regretter. Without any further ado, he asked the most important question, "When are you


    nning to marry S?"


    "W-W-What did you say?" a stunned George asked. HE WAS SURPRISED! Of all questions which


    could be asked, he wasn''t ready with this. But of course, George realized instantly, there was no more


    question left to be asked but this.


    If George felt surprised, triple that was what Caspar felt upon seeing the dumbfounded young man! He


    could not imagine what was so surprising with his question since they were already talking about


    marriage! What was the matter with the young generationstely? It seemed that they left their brains


    somewhere... "Now what? Having second thoughts of marrying my daughter?!"


    "No, no, no! Please don''t get me wrong. Why would I refuse S?" George defended himself,


    gesticting with his hands. "It just took me by surprise, the question, that is..." ''What an idiot I am!'' he


    wildly thought of himself.


    "S is my only child. I want what''s best for her. If you make her cry, I will not let you off easily," Caspar


    warned. Sensing the love S had for George, he had no heart to go between them. And since he saw


    his daughter''s will to be with George, he decided to support her.


    "Since you two insist on getting married, I will not stop you anymore. S is already pregnant. The next


    step there is for you to mark the date of your wedding as soon as possible." He added, "Make it soon,


    before the baby bump bes noticeable. Otherwise, her reputation will be ruined."


    "Yes, you are definitely right. Mom and I already thought of this," George nodded. "Actually, I already


    have the reservation for the wedding venue," continued George. "Uncle, Auntie, your blessing is the


    only thing left, which we have been waiting for. I want our wedding ceremony to be held this week if it''s


    okay with you. I can handle all the preparations on my own. All you have to do is sit and rx."


    "THIS WEEK?!" ''Are there more surprises?'' Caspar thought. "There are only a few days left. When I


    said soon, I did not mean this soon. There is still a couple of weeks before others notice S''s tummy."


    "I know," George replied. "But I think the earlier, the better. This will still end in marriage, why not do it


    soon? Don''t worry. S will have a grand wedding."


    Caspar nodded. But that was only one of the few things which could be considered as problems.


    Another was their rtives and friends. Not all were in the area... "What about rtives and friends?"


    Ah, George understood more now. "Please give me a list. I will arange for private airpanes to pick them


    up. Don''t worry, everything will be okay."


    Lizzy could not contain herself. "But this is happening too fast. I don''t think we have enough time,"


    Emma reasoned out. Adding to her concern, she blurted out, "I don''t have time to prepare for S''s


    dowry!"


    Now that everything was out in the open, George fully understood their apprehension. He smiled and


    assured them, "Please, don''t be bothered with those. I am very blessed to have S in marriage. In


    return, I''ll give her apany as a bride price. For me, our unborn baby is the best dowry. There is


    nothing more I could ask for."


    Caspar and his wife were more than delighted with his reply. Smiling approvingly, Lizzy told him, "We


    are okay with this as long as S has noints."


    George''s smile grew big. Atst! Focusing his attention on S this time, he asked, "What do you


    think? Do you like our wedding day to be this week?" George was starting to feel the excitement of


    marriage. He could only pray that she would approve. He could not wait anymore.


    S could see the happiness on George. She felt so loved and blessed. Of course, she couldn''t also


    wait to be his wife. The feeling was mutual. With a bright smile, she replied, "I am very okay with the


    wedding this week. Since I met you, I have been dreaming of bing your wife. Now, that wish is


    turning into reality. Why would this be a problem?"


    She then gathered George''s hands, held them, and said sweetly, "I believe that we are a match made


    in heaven. You will be a great husband to me."


    George removed his left hand, ced it on S''s right cheek, and caressed it. "Definitely! I will be,"


    George nodded in confirmation. "I will treat you well for the rest of my life." Then, George kissed S,


    sealing their fate.


    Watching the exchange removed whatever doubts and negative emotions S''s parents had towards


    George. "Since your mother is so generous to my daughter, I should give you something in return,"


    Caspar began as he looked George straight into his eyes. "I know you wanted to purchase my


    "Uncle, there''s no need for that..." George refused his kind offer. He did not have any interest in his


    just to please Holley Ye. Since she was not part of his life anymore, he already forgot that n.


    This time, it was Caspar''s turn to insist. "Don''t refuse my kindness. That''s final. Nothing can change it


    anymore. Let''s just continue to eat and enjoy our meal. You still have to deal with the wedding matters


    George could not find the right words to say. He was so happy at the moment. "Thank you, Uncle,"


    George replied.


    "Uncle? Seriously?" With furrowed eyebrows, Caspar proposed, "You should call me dad."


    "Yes, Dad..." George burst intoughing, as he scratched his head. This time, hisughter definitely


    broke the tense atmosphere. Everyone started to have a good time.
