Chapter 69 - Marry Me!

"Honey, this is Mr. Jhon! He's here to propose to you to be his wife, how about that?". Sophia's mother introduced Jhon Fahri with a very happy expression.

Sophia's mother hopes that Jhon is a wound healer for Sophia's heart, which is hurt because George left her.

Sophia's stepfather was also proud because if he could be the father-in-law of the CEO of a large company, of course, he could help him expand his small company.

Sophia was stunned when she heard that John wanted to propose to her, but before she could speak, John got up from his seat carrying a bunch of roses.

He then knelt in front of Sophia, and everyone was shocked to see what John did.

"How can Sophia get such a great substitute? Not only rich, he also has a handsome face and sexy body". Charlotte thought angrily.

"What are you doing?". Asked Sophia uncomfortably.

John smiled gently, then he opened his mouth. 

"Ever since I saw you, I have fallen in love and intend to make you my wife, do you want to marry me?". John put the flower into Sophia's hand, after that he took out a ring box from his pocket and gave it to Sophia.

"So you sent the roses?". Asked Sophia in surprise. 

Jhon just nodded with a smile with a gaze that was so gentle, instantly Sophia felt disappointed because the flower wasn't from Michael.

"Sorry I can not...". Sophia refused firmly while pushing the ring back to John.

Hearing Sophia's answer, her mother's expression darkened. 

"Honey... Don't joke!". Her mother said with a smile.

"I do not...". Sophia couldn't continue her words as her mother gripped her hand tightly. 

"Mr. John, sit down first, I'll talk to Sophia for a while!". Her mother said.

John just nodded then returned to his seat. 

Sophia's mother's room. 

"Why do you answer like that? Mr. Jhon is a good man, he is handsome and rich. What is lacking in him that you reject him?". Asked her mother sarcastically.

"I don't love him". Answer Sophia honestly.

Her mother's gaze got sharper when she heard Sophia's answer which she thought didn't make sense.

"Love? Is it still needed in this cruel life? Hasn't love disappointed you many times? Or are you still expecting the two jerks you once loved?".

Sophia knew very well who the two jerks her mother called. Therefore she felt hurt just for Michael. Because he's her husband and he's not an asshole. 

"Mother... Michael is different from George". Sophia said quietly.

Her mother's face darkened when she heard Michael's name, she immediately raised her right hand and slapped Sophia's face hard.

"Ahhh...". Sophia groaned in pain while holding her cheeks which were starting to turn red.

Sophia couldn't hold back her tears either, she was a strong woman so she rarely cried, but today she couldn't hold it back because she was between the two people she loved the most.

"Don't you ever mention the name of that bastard! Have you forgotten how he left you? He's the one who killed your son and father. Have you forgotten all that!". Her mother shouted with a reddened look.

"But...". Sophia tries to defend Michael and wants to tell the truth. However, she could not continue her speech when she saw her mother's gaze. 

"You have to remember something! Even if I die. I won't let you go back with that bastard." Her mother said while shedding tears that she couldn't hold back anymore.

"Mom... Don't talk like that! Michael doesn't...". Sophia could no longer continue her words when she saw her mother start to fall into a daze and soon she fainted. 

Immediately, Sophia panicked and immediately called her father. 

They all run towards the room.

"What's wrong with your mother?". Asked Sophia's stepfather in a panic.

Sophia just cried without answering her stepfather's question. 

"We should take her to the hospital!". Said John. 

They all nodded in agreement with John's suggestion.

After that, John and Shopia's stepfather took her out of the room.

John offered to take them to the hospital in his car. Having no choice, Sophia nodded.

Hospital. 

It didn't take long before they arrived at the hospital. 

Sophia waited anxiously in front of the emergency room with her stepfather and John, while her grandmother and Charlotte waited at home.

What Sophia was afraid of finally happened, what if her mother found out that she had remarried to Michael? 

Sophia knows that her mother has high blood pressure and she hates Michael very much. However, Sophia did not expect that her mother would not allow her to return with Michael.

Sophia fell into confusion, choosing between her husband and mother. Or choose to keep lying.

Just then, Sophia's cell phone rang. She immediately picked it up after seeing the caller ID.

"Honey, where are you?". Hearing Michael's voice from across the phone, her heart became calmer.

"I'm in the hospital, mom passed out". Sophia answered in a limp tone.

On the other end of the phone Michael sounded worried. 

"I'll be there and accompany you."

"No need, because it's not the right time to meet Mother. Besides, she doesn't know we're back together yet." Sophia has not been able to publicize her relationship with Michael.

"My dear future wife, who are you talking to? Come on, the mother is awake!". John asked deliberately because he knew that Sophia was talking to Michael.

Sophia immediately gave John a death glare, because she didn't like being called that.

"Who is that? Why did he call you his future wife?". Michael asked in a deep voice.

"Honey... Don't get me wrong! Later when I get home I will explain, but now it seems I can't go home because I have to accompany my mother here". Replied Sophia.

Michael took a deep breath. 

"Don't stay up late". After saying that, Michael hung up the phone and went into his room with a restless heart and was not calm because he was disturbed by the voice of a man who called Shopia his future wife.

After taking a shower, Michael sat in his study, and suddenly he got an email from an unknown person.

"Your son will be fine if you stop looking for him! He is already happy in a beautiful country, with good parents, if you keep looking for him, not only your child and wife are in danger but everyone involved I will make sure to lose their lives".

After reading the message, Michael's expression was very dark, he clenched his fists then hit his desk so that everything on the table fell.

After that, he contacted Larry.

"Hello.. what's wrong?".

"Help me trace the location of an email!".

"Send the email address!".

"I'll email it now!". After that, Michael hung up the call and sat in his chair while waiting for Larry.

A few moments later.

Larry came to Michael's house.

"The owner of this email is from London, I traced the message, does this mean your son is in London, what do you think?". Larry said.

Michael was expressionless, his gaze was fierce as if ready to pounce on its prey. 

"Withdraw all your men! Temporarily stop investigating my son". Michael said.

"What do you mean, brother? Do you want to just give up? What about Sophia?". Asked Larry.

Michael glared at Larry. 

"Because I will investigate it myself," Michael replied.

Larry was at a loss for words, he was horrified at his savage gaze. He knew that his brother was determined that nothing could stop him, he was only prepared if needed at any time. 

"Okay, then I'm going home!". After that Larry immediately went home. 

Meanwhile, Michael immediately returned to his room.

In the room, Michael sat on the bed staring at his bed. There is no Sophia tonight and it really feels lonely for him even though it's only one night. 

"Shopia... I promise that I will find our child even to the ends of the earth". Michael said while stroking the pillow used by Sophia. 

Just in time, Michael suddenly remembered about the engagement that had not been told to Sophia. 

"Shopia must have known, but why didn't she ask? This can't be allowed, I have to tell her what my plans for the engagement are before she misunderstands". After saying that, Michael immediately took his coat and left his house. 

Hospital. 

It didn't take long for Michael to arrive at the hospital at twelve o'clock at night. Luckily he was able to track down Sophia's whereabouts so he didn't have to ask which hospital she was in.

A moment later, Michael found the room where Sophia's mother was being cared for.
