Chapter 234 Tell me (2/2)
When they were done with checking and found the room clean, Carlo smiled happily at Alex.
”So Alex who between the two will be my future daughter-in-law?” Alex who heard Carlo's very direct question was startled. Usually he was someone who would answer immediately without any changes in his look, but he actually hesitated. Not only that Carlo once again saw his son blush, but this time it was much clearer. This made Carlo even more excited and happy. Seeing this changes of his son, was proof of his growth not physically nor mentally, but emotionally. This son who had extreme growths in both the physical and mental aspect was now having trouble with the emotional aspect.
Carlo knew it wasn't good to be happy because of his son's difficulty in expressing himself, but he couldn't help it. Alex was more mature than most children and was exceptionally obedient. Seeing his son actually have a trait that made him look like a real normal teenager made Carlo really happy.
”Nice, who knew that you could make a face like that Alex. So who is it? Who's the girl?” Alex was confused as well. He already accepted that he liked the girl, but why was he like this? He was acting too differently from his normal self. It might be because he was talking to his dad, that might be the reason he feels a bit safer to show his new emotions dwelling within him.
Carlo was looking at him in anticipation. Alex seeing that excited look of his dad, sighed before speaking.
”I think I like, no I'm sure that I fell in love with Rachel Regius.”
”Rachel! And you actually said that you fell in love! Amazing this is great!” Carlo hugged his son in his excitement. The mission he gave at the start, actually bore fruit in the direction he wanted. His son actually fell in love with the target girl. He knew it was the right decision to make Alex choose the target for protection. If he was the one who chose this events might not have transpired. Alex might not have fallen in love, and greatly improved his emotional state.
Carlo knew that if Alex picked the girl, he knew it would be because he found the girl interesting. Unknown to Carlo, Alex actually picked Rachel randomly. All of the things that happened later resulting to him falling lover, were all circumstantial.
”Still Rachel huh. That would mean you will need to deal with Dan. That guy will be hard to convince. The only true language Dan understand is the fist. The only way you'll be able to convince him that you're serious is if you beat him in a fight. I'm pretty sure, the moment you ask Rachel out, he would intervene with an idiotic thing like saying. You can have my daughter after you kill me.”
The last line Carlo said, was actually something he would say as well, if someone ask to be Lilitth's boyfriend. Alex who was listening to everything his dad said, looked at him with eyes full of resolution.
”I will do my best to win her heart. Then I will deal with Instructor Dan afterwards. If he wants to fight then I will fight until he's satisfied.”
Carlo was impressed in the resolution in Alex's eyes as he said what he said. Still he felt sorry for Rachel and Evangeline, especially Evangeline. This idiotic son of his didn't notice their feelings. He actually said that he will try and win Rachel's heart, without knowing he had already won it.
Carlo decided that this was also something Alex needed to learn on his own. He could tell Alex the truth, but learning about the two girls feelings on his own will help him improve emotionally.
No matter what Alex's chooses to do, when he learns the truth about the two girls feelings, Carlo wishes that Alex would have no regrets. In the end Carlo simply hopes that the choices Alex's made will lead him to his happiness.
