Merry was surprised by Chris' serious attitude.
At first, she wanted to lie with the intention of hiding, but apparently, this brother had guessed carefully.
Merry was nervous and scared. Even though she was sitting in Chris' arms, she somehow felt that they were far apart from each other.
What should she say?
At this moment, Chris waited patiently for her answer.
He never insisted, only locking his pair of deep eyes on Merry's figure.
Not long after, the little girl seemed to have been at war with herself. She took a deep breath, clenching her fists.
Instead of answering Chris' question, she hesitantly said, "If I tell the truth, will big brother hate me?"
Chris replied earnestly, "As long as it's the truth, I won't hate you!"
After hearing this, Merry seemed to heave a sigh of relief. She secretly looked at Chris' face and whispered softly. "That's right..."
She didn't dare to lie, for fear that Chris would hate her.
So she could only admit this kind of feeling that she even swore not to say.
After that, the entire dining table became silent.
Merry still maintained her original posture, waited a long time before raising her eyes and peeking at Chris.
She thought she would see the disgusted expression on the man's face.
However, the man in front of her didn't feel uncomfortable, and instead… looked at her with a smile on his lips.
Merry was confused as she looked at him, then admitted her mistake and said, "Brother, I know this is wrong. So don't worry, it won't happen again in the future, I…"
"God forbid!" Chris, who was still above the cloud, immediately regained his senses. When he heard that, he immediately threatened in a cold voice. "Who told you this was wrong?"
Merry looked at Chris in confusion. What did he just say?
Now, seeing that the truth had been revealed, Chris didn't want to scare her anymore with his serious face.
Then he started speaking in a soft tone. "You're usually so smart, how does something like this turn you into a child? Merry, even though I look free, do you think I need to accompany you all day? After all this time, do you really not know whether I like you or not?"
As a grown man of 33 years age, Chris shows almost all patience and tolerance when facing Merry.
He bluntly says that he likes her, but the little girl is young and inexperienced in handling feelings. Just like Merry, he never confessed his feelings as he feared it would drift them apart.
Merry was surprised!
After a long time, her little hand grabbed Chris' shirt, and her voice trembled. "What did you say just now?"
The little girl never hides her worries.
So when she found out that Chris also liked her, her whole heart flew.
This also made the corners of her eyebrows and eyes rise with joy, and she couldn't help it.
Chris brushed the hair on top of her head and smiled sincerely. "Are you sure you didn't hear it clearly?"
Merry looked at him shyly. After less than three seconds of feeling incredible happiness, her face collapsed again. "But you are my brother ..."
"What brother huh? It's time you change my name in the future!" When the girl mentioned this, Chris was angry!
If he knew that he would like Merry a few years ago, he wouldn't be her brother for anything!
Hearing this, Merry was still very worried. "Even so, I still think of you as an older brother!"
Chris sighed and touched his own forehead. He wondered whether to go to the Hiroshi family to discuss his marriage now!
He pondered for a moment, sat up straight, then looked at Merry with a serious expression. "It doesn't matter if you think of me as an older brother, but I'm not blood related to you. Merry, let me ask you, since you have confessed your feelings, are you ready to be with me?"
After hearing that question, Merry asked herself, is she ready?
In fact, she doesn't know the answer!
Despite the trust she had for the man, the little girl shook her head innocently. "I don't know..."
After seeing this, Chris frowned. Her lips and eyes smiled deeply. "Since you don't know, then I'll give it a good time to consider. Merry, I've been waiting for you for a long time, but this time I'm only giving you three days. Then you will tell me your answer. Including what makes you like me, okay?"
Merry thought and nodded in agreement. "Okay..."
Seeing that she had agreed to his idea, Chris was relieved. "Finish your eating, we will go to work after this."
Merry happily sat in her chair again.
From that day on, she was stuck in a problem called love.
What does she really feel like towards Chris?!
...
And for the next two days, Chris seemed to be busy with his work.
He rarely showed up at the office, which gave Merry enough time to think.
That night, Merry became dazed after finishing her work.
There was still one day before the deadline given by Chris, but she still didn't know if she was ready to go with Chris or not.
Over the years, not many men have appeared in her life, except for her father's friends and classmates.
But the man who impressed her the most was Chris!
All of her love seemed to have poured out for the one and only Chris Hartanto!
Merry turned her gaze and glanced into the next room through the glass window. There was no figure of the man at the side, and she felt her heart empty.
The little girl grabbed her phone angrily, wondering if she should text him or not.
At this time, her cell phone suddenly vibrated from the call.
Merry took a closer look, and immediately took it. "Anna!"
"Merry! Come on down!"
"Ah?" Merry glanced at her cell phone. "You didn't dial the wrong number, right?"
Anna said in a high and happy tone. "I'm downstairs in your company, are you surprised?!"
Merry was surprised with joy, screamed the next second, and ran out holding on to the phone!
Abhi and others in the office are so shocked by the noisy running that they almost drop the documents in their hands on the floor.
Merry ran out of the gate in no time.
She looked around breathlessly, and before she saw Anna's figure, she heard someone calling out to her behind.
Merry turned excitedly and saw Anna running towards her with a bag of milk tea.
"Anna!"
When these two friends met, the scene was exciting.
Merry rushed forward and hugged Anna.
The two embraced and jumped on the spot, Anna's ponytail still swaying behind her head.
Then, the milk tea in the bag almost spilled.
After Merry let go of Anna, she shook her hand and asked, "Why did you come to Surabaya all of a sudden?"
Anna was looking at the slightly spilled milk tea with a depressed expression. Hearing the question, she raised her head and looked at Merry. "Because you called me two days ago and cried without saying anything, that's why I'm really scared! I begged my brother for a few days before he agreed to take me."
This is a true friend!
Merry smiled shyly, then hugged Anna's arm. "Oh, there was a reason then, but don't you dare to think I'm fine now! Anyway, how did you know that I work here?!"
Anna chuckled, stretched out her thumb and gestured behind her.. "I asked Clifford to bring me here."
