23 Arranged marriage (2/2)

”Auntie Tiana,” he greeted politely then he continued to say, ”Mom, could you now please explain to me why they are both here?”

”Your dad and I agreed for an arranged marriage between the two of you,” Matt's mother said with a smile.

”What if I say no?”

”If you don't have a reason as to why you object, then no. The marriage will happen,” Auntie Ann's tone turned serious.

”I have a reason. She bullied Renae! Is that not a good enough reason?,” Matt said in a loud voice.

”Don't you raise your voice. Stop making excuses to not agree to this arranged marriage,” Auntie Ann said sternly.

”Now apologize to Min and Auntie Tiana.”

”I have nothing to apologise for! The person who should apologise is Min! And my reason is real! Do you need proof? Why don't you go over to Renae's house to look at Renae's bruises? In case I take a picture of Renae's bruises and you say it's photoshop, it's fake and all,”Matt said.

”I'm not going over to Renae's house. I'm sure Renae is fine, and Min is a lovely girl. Why would Min do such a thing?”

”Mom, you're on her side?”

”Stop this nonsense and apologise!”

”Why? I'll get Renae here myself!” Upon hearing this, Min's heart started beating faster.

After saying that, he left the house and slammed the door in front of their faces.

”I apologise for my son's outburst. He's probably just spouting nonsense. He just wants an excuse out of this arranged marriage.”

”It's alright! We'll come back another time when he's feeling better,” Auntie Tiana responded.

”Thank you for being so understanding!”

Auntie Tiana nodded her head and left the house with Min.
