Chapter 135 - Feeling Embarrassed.

Jennifer blinked when she saw Charles, then she raised her hand and touched Charles' face, "Are you, Charles?".

Charles nodded, pinching Jennifer's cheek. 

"Ahhh... It hurts...". Jennifer said while groaning in pain.

At that moment Jennifer realized that she was not dreaming. She immediately freed herself from Charles, because she felt embraced as she remembered what she had done.

"Oh my God... He really is Charles, I'm so embarrassed...". Jennifer thought as she turned her face away from Charles because she was so embarrassed.

"Why are you suddenly here without telling me first? I haven't made up yet, besides that, I'm sorry for spraying you, my breath must be smelly?". Jennifer said in a low voice.

Charles smiled as he pulled Jennifer into his arms again. 

"I like it". Charles whispered in Jennifer's ear.

Instantly Jennifer blushed so much that her cheeks turned red.

"Since when can you be romantic like this?". Jennifer asked shyly.

Charles tightened his embrace as he said, "Mmmm... Maybe since I've known you!".

Jennifer blushed, even more, when she heard Charles' answer, she smiled happily because she felt that she was the luckiest woman to be loved by Charles.

After that Jennifer looked up at Charles, immediately she looked at Charles' face, she felt bewitched. 

How not enchanted, Charles has a calm face, a sharp nose, brown eyes, thin lips and a thin mustache that makes him seductive and sexy. 

Not only that, he also has thick eyebrows that make his eyes look even more romantic and murderous. Charles also has strong cheekbones that make him look charismatic and masculine in the eyes of girls, his shady eyes can make women easily seduced, besides that he also has broad and firm shoulders.

If Larry and Michael have handsome faces typical of the F country, then Charles is different, he is a mixture of the two, only his face is inherited more from his father who is a native Londoner.

"Honey... Do you like looking at me so you don't blink a bit?". Charles asked with a smile.

Jennifer immediately looked down embarrassed to hear Charles' question.

Charles smiled even wider when he saw her adorable behavior.

Then she pulled his chin up to look at her.

"Do you want to be my friend?". Jennifer asked as she looked Charles in the eye.

Charles frowned as he asked, "What do you mean?".

"Be a friend who will tell me about everything without getting bored, my angry friend, my joke friend, until my friend struggles, and be the only friend of my life, do you want?". Jennifer said seriously.

Charles immediately nodded without hesitation. "Then let's get married soon!"

Hearing Charles's invitation for the umpteenth time, Jennifer looked down in confusion.

"But..".

Just then the sound of her cell phone rang so she couldn't continue her words.

Jennifer panicked after seeing the caller ID which was none other than her mother. 

Before picking up the phone, Jennifer asked Charles to be quiet by placing her index finger on his lips.

Charles immediately fell silent. 

"Hello, Mom...". Jennifer said after sliding the green icon on her cellphone.

"Are you in your apartment, honey?"

"Yeah, I just woke up."

"Gosh... Why are you awake at this hour? Now open the door because I am outside!". 

Jennifer was surprised that Charles was with her, if her mother found out she might get scolded. 

Jennifer couldn't imagine how angry her mother would be if she saw Charles because she knew very well what her mother was like.

Although she is the only daughter of two siblings, she is educated very strictly according to the strict rules in her family.

"Charles ... my dear, you must hide immediately because outside is my Mom!". Jennifer said frantically.

Charles was confused. "Why must I hide? I want to get acquainted with your mother and then ask for her blessing!".

Jennifer felt a headache hearing Charles' words.

"Honey, you don't know what my Mom is like, if she had known you were here, she might have immediately imprisoned me at home again. This is not the time for you to meet her. So please cooperate with me!". Jennifer said as she begged Charles.

Without waiting for Charles' answer, Jennifer immediately pulled him and tried several places to hide him.

And the last is the wardrobe which is quite large.

"Honey, I'm sorry! Please stay here obediently! I promise it won't be long!". Jennifer said before closing the closet door.

Charles's expression became complicated, but he continued to sit obediently in the cupboard after Jennifer closed it.

"Why are you taking so long to open the door? My feet are sore standing here?". Her mother said after being in Jennifer's room.

"Mmmm, I'm cooking". Jennifer answered very nervously.

Luckily there was some food already served on the table.

Jennifer could guess that all the food was cooked by Charles.

"Why are you acting so weird? Are you hiding something from Mama? Besides, you are too busy cooking. Since when have you been able to cook?". Her mother asked suspiciously as she sat down on the chair.

"Hahahaha... I'm not hiding anything! Now it's better for Mama to try the dishes I made!". Jennifer answered as she prepared an empty plate on the table.

With a complicated expression, her mother immediately tried the dishes on the table. At that moment Jennifer looked pale because she knew how her mother's tongue was very sensitive to the taste of food, so she was not only overprotective of her children but also of anything she thought was not to her liking. 

"How, Mama?". Jennifer asked worriedly after seeing her Mom finish chewing the food.

"Mmmmm... this is delicious. Are you really the one who cooks?". Her mother could not believe that Jennifer cooked such delicious food because from childhood to adulthood, Jennifer did not like going into the kitchen, let alone cooking.

Hearing the compliment from Jennifer's mother, someone in the cupboard felt proud and smiled because her future mother-in-law praised his cooking. It was not in vain that he had helped his mother cook whenever he had the chance.

"Of course it's my cooking!". Jennifer answered with a smile.

"Since when can you cook? As far as Mama knows, let alone you want to cook, you can't even distinguish between sweet and salty. Mama knows you very well dear! So don't lie to Mama!".

Jennifer was embarrassed by her mother's words because Charles must have heard it, after all, Charles understood the native language used in country F. So Charles must have immediately understood what her mother was saying, at that moment Jennifer felt like shutting her mother's mouth so as not to say all the bad things. 

"Hahaha... Mama could be joking! Jennifer is an adult, and that was now I was already proficient. So don't doubt my abilities. Now Mama just tell me what Mama came here for? Didn't Papa forbid Mama to see me?".

Before answering she cleaned her mouth with a tissue before, after that she looked at Jennifer and said, "Mama is here to tell you that last night Angga came to propose to you with his parents. So Mama and Papa have accepted it and we agreed that next month your wedding with Angga will be held, so hurry home to make preparations!".

Jennifer was surprised to hear the news brought by her mother, as well as Charles who immediately lost his cool so he wanted to get out but he didn't want to cause trouble for Jennifer so he chose to remain silent.

"Why did Mama just accept it without asking Jennifer first? I'm the one getting married so I'm the one who has the right to decide who I will marry." Jennifer said firmly.

Her mother's gaze immediately lit up wildly.

"How long are you going to be a rebellious child? You're just an artist without Mama and Papa's approval. So, do you need to ask for your approval for marriage too? You're Mama's only daughter and not married. Your high school friend already has a child. Besides that, we have to follow the rules and customs that exist in our family. You must marry a man who has noble descent like us, not a random man even though he is rich". Jennifer's mother said.

"But I already have my own candidate, I just want to marry him! I don't mind being kicked out of the family because your rules are so torturous for me".

"Oh... So it's true that the rumors say that you're dating your boss? Just so you know, Mama has checked his background and he's from the common people. Besides, he's the grandson of the most violent Mafia in London. So you can be with him! It's better for you to marry a slave than him, and if you are determined to marry him, then at that time Mama will cut off the relationship between mother and child with you. If necessary Mama will put you in the barn." Jennifer's mother said with a dark expression.

Jennifer looked down sadly when she heard her mother's words.. If her mother had found out about Larry, that meant her mother wouldn't approve of her with Charles either.
