Ethan sat on a small couch, with Samantha on his right and Samantha's sister on his left.
Her parents and her brother were seated on single chairs across them, not at all subtle with giving Ethan an appraising look.
"Are you really my sister's boyfriend?" Samantha's younger sister, Shirley, who was around fourteen years old, asked. "Co on. Don't lie. If you are honest, I'll make you my boyfriend."
"I am your sister's boyfriend," Ethan replied with a smile.
Shirley clicked her tongue, making Samantha glare at her own sister, who seed serious about poaching her boyfriend.
"Brother, are you rich?" Samantha's younger brother, Ron, who was ten years old, asked.
"Very rich." Ethan nodded.
"How rich?" Shirley asked.
"My family owns a castle." Ethan replied.
"""Oh!"""
Samantha couldn't help but facepalm, even though she had already anticipated the discussion to steer in this direction sohow.
Before the school term started, she bragged that she would bring ho a handso and rich boyfriend to introduce to her parents.
What she didn't expect was that she would actually get together with Ethan, the academy's number one heartthrob for the girls and the public enemy number one for the boys.
She understood that the only reason why she beca Ethan's lover was because he wasn't the kind of man that took relationships lightly, and thus, wished to take responsibility for her.
At first, she wanted to refuse his kind intentions. After all, she didn't want to have a relationship based on guilt.
Even so, Ethan insisted and did his best to make Samantha feel loved and cared for.
He made her feel safe, warm, and loved, that it was almost impossible for her to not fall in love with him. Especially since she already had a crush on him since he was a First Year.
Still, she was still worried whether her parents would agree to their relationship after finding out that Ethan was already married, and had seven other Fiances, excluding her. "How did the two of you et?" Samantha's mother, Sandra, asked out of curiosity. "We first t through an acquaintance," Ethan replied. "Her na is Nicole Asta, and we helped her with one of her family missions. We've been acquainted since then."
"Then, who confessed first?" Shirley, who seed to like juicy gossip, asked.
"It was !" Samantha replied with a beet-red face. "I confessed first!" "Sis, I'm not asking you."
"Shut up!"
"Tsk!"
Samantha's Father, Devon, had been carefully observing Ethan, especially his mannerism and actions.
He didn't have any complaints regarding the young man's looks and manners. However, he was looking for any sign to see if this was all an act that his daughter had orchestrated to make them believe that she now had a boyfriend.
It was not only him who was carefully observing the young man. Sandra also thought that this was all just a farce, which they could imdiately expose after a few questions.
But Samantha's parents could see Ethan's gentleness and his affectionate gaze whenever he looked at their daughter.
He also didn't shy away from holding her waist to pull her closer to him or pat her head in order to calm her down due to her siblings teasing.
There were things that couldn't be faked, and as a couple who had been together for nearly twenty years, they could tell that the two teenagers in front of them weren't putting on a show for them.
"Ethan, do you love my daughter?" Devon asked.
"How can anyone not possibly love her?" Ethan answered as he placed his hand over Samantha's hand that was resting on her lap. "Sir, with all due respect, I think those who can't fall in love with your daughter have sothing wrong with their eyes."
Devon, Sandra, Shirley, and Ron all looked at the young man, whom they believed had so eye problems, with weird expressions on their faces.
Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half, who understood what Samantha's family were thinking, just laughed from inside Ethan's Sea of Consciousness because they were liking Samantha's family more and more.
"What's so good about her?" Shirley asked with genuine curiosity.
"Sotis, she acts before she can think things through," Ethan replied with a smile as he lightly patted Samantha's head, who was covering her face with both hands due to embarrassnt.
"She's also very kind, loving, and generous. She's willing to do her best for the sake of others, even if it ans that she would get hurt in the end. Unfortunately, she has low esteem and thinks that she's inferior to everyone else.
"I like to tease her a lot because looking at her makes feel as if a kitten is scratching my heart. With such a helpless and adorable young lady confessing her love to , I would be stupid to turn her away.
"She's like a house cat who cannot survive in the wild. Since that's the case, I'll take good care of her, and make sure that she will gain so confidence in herself and make her understand that she's not inferior to anyone."
"... Is this what rich people are like?"
"... I don't mind if you make your girlfriend too, you know?"
"... Love is blind."
"... I didn't know I raised such a useless child."
Samantha thought that she couldn't feel more embarrassed than what she was already
feeling.
However, her family's reaction to Ethan's words made want to bury herself in a hole. Ethan chuckled and wrapped his arms around the young lady's body and kissed her forehead
right in front of her family.
The young man's public display of affection was so brilliant, it was almost blinding.
"Um, so, are you planning to have a serious relationship that will lead to marriage?" Sandra
asked.
"Yes," Ethan replied. "I plan to marry her."
"How far have you gone with my sister?" Shirley asked with a mischievous smile on her face. "I'll leave that to your imagination," Ethan answered in a teasing tone.
Devon and Sandra exchanged a glance with each other before asking Ethan another question.
"So, when is the wedding?" Devon inquired.
"About that, I need to tell you sothing first, Dad," Ethan said in a serious tone. "The truth
is..."
The young man explained his circumstances, telling the Blackwood Family that he was already married, and was also engaged to seven more ladies, which made Shirley almost choke on the water that she had just drank.
