30 30 Spur of the Moment Marriage Meeting (2/2)

Edna placed the tray down and poured the fatigue tea for everyone as she made two pots. ”That is actually a lovely idea.”

Irene walked over to Amelia and placed the teapot down on the side table. She poured her some tea and added a little honey. ”Here drink this, I also think that is a good idea. You are such a thoughtful daughter.”

Clarence left the room and grabbed a few chairs from the other room. He brought them back and set them up near the bed.

Gabriel got up and sat beside Amelia much to the shock of Irene and Edward. He patted her arm as she was sitting up against the pillow.

Aiko stood at the door, ”I will go and make sure that everything is running smoothly and Gabriel, I have your key so I will make sure Aki has today's supplies.” She waved and left the two families alone to discuss the matter at hand.

”I, Saito, Gabriel would like to request that Suzuki, Amelia become my betrothed. That is if both our families will allow it.” He was sitting down but still bowed to the families.

Irene looked at the boy and was surprised. ”I read over your information and I already know that you understand that our daughter is not well but if you can get past that then and only then, will I allow it.”

”It is a miracle that brought our two families together but I want someone that will be able to do everything for my baby girl and you young man has gone beyond my expectations. I approve of this.” Edward bowed back to Gabriel.

”I, Suzuki, Amelia, would like to request to join your family. I may not be able to do as much as a healthy girl but I will do all that I can and be there as long as I can. I may be sick but I will still do everything that I can.” Amelia bowed her body but sat up as it made her a bit dizzy.

”Please, do not worry about the bow. You are unwell and very polite with your speech. I knew from the moment that I saw you with Gabriel in the garden that you would be the one that would capture his heart. I know that it is not easy to let go of your loved one but I wanted to do everything in my power to keep you from falling into another's hand. Which is why we ended the meeting with the people we were trying to set Gabriel up with. I have not received your profile but from what I have heard I am not worried about it.” Edna smiled, ”all I ask is that you stay safe and get healthy.”

”I also agree. My son is smitten with you and if there was a debate if you were the right person for my son then it would be a yes. Gabriel has not asked for much and has taken on a task that was not supposed to be his issue. Suzuki-san, I am glad I was able to give you a job here. It is not right what the Yukimura's did to you guys. There is a request that I do have.” Clarence looked the couple across from him.
