Chapter 35 I assure you
“Your parents and sisters are here Master.” one of the guards said when they enter the gate. The news shocked Lyn. She can't remember their memories with them before so she is very nervous about their expression of them towards her.
‘Are they going to like her for their son and brother?’
‘Are they kind or not?’
‘What if they are against us?’
Those questions are making her more frightened about the answers if they come in at the mansion.
“Hey, are you nervous baby?” Axielasksk uses a sweet voice. As sweet as candy that can melt your heart. Full of sweetness that you ever desire and now she experiences it with him.
“Y-Yeah. I-I d-don't k-know i-if t-they w-will l-like m-me f-for y-you.” Lyn stutter while saying it. She's very nervous to the point that affects her voice and how she talks. She can't guess what would be the answer to it on her own. She needs someone to cheer her up.
“Hey! Don't be, okay. They like you for me like before. When we are kids. I assure you that they like you until now. Come baby and let's see their reaction on you.” Axiel assured her and offer his hand to her.
Lyn believes him even her nervousness is killing her. It is so much pressure when it's about meeting his parents and sisters.
“We're home!” Axiel shouted when they enter the mansion. Her grip on his hand tightens. She wants to run away. She's afraid.
“Relax baby. They are not going to bite you.” Axiel let out a joke to lessen her nervous that makes her feel a bit relieved. Axiel knows how to relieve her that also works.
“Owww, hi son. Ohhh my goshhhh!” Kyla screams while covering her mouth with her hands. She is the mother of Axiel. She's very elegant in her red fitted dress and two-inch red sandals with heels. Kyla was so beautiful and blooming even in her forties.
“Hon, why are you shouting?” Fernando asks while coming out from the kitchen. Noami and Joanine follow their dad.
“Kyaahhhh..... Atlee Lynnnn!” the two sisters scream and run toward Lyn but Lyn hides to Axiel's back which shocks the two.
“Why is she hiding?” Noami asks with a sad voice while pouting.
“She has amnesia, remember?” Axiel reminds them about her current situation in a question. They understand it and nodded their head to agree on what he said.
“Owww.... sorry dear. Maybe you didn't us so you react like that. Don't worry dear. I'm his mother Kyla, you can call me mommy. He is my husband and you can call her daddy. This is Noami and Joanine, our daughter and his sisters.” Kyla explains to her. Her sweetness and explanation relieve Lyn but still, she didn't want to face them.
“Are you okay baby? It's okay if you can't face them now. Don't force yourself if you can't. They can understand you baby.” Axiel comforted and make her feel better. He can sense that she's afraid to approach them because she sees them as a stranger.
“It's okay dear. We understand you and we hope that you can remember all your memories so you're not afraid of us anymore.” Fernando said with a smile on his lips.
“Yeah, ate Lyn. We know that you see us as a stranger for now.” Joanine agreed to her father.
“Come and let's eat. We just finished preparing our dinner.” Kyla invites them for dinner. It would be the first dinner of the whole family after 6 years. Lyn was like a part of the Monteverde family and that would be true if Lyn will carry their family surname.
When the whole family gives their whole blessing and support to a couple, it would be a dream come true. Other couples out there are so problematic about their parents or parents of your partner being against you? That would affect that relationship you have and the worse, it can be the reason to end it. And even the whole family.
“What do you want to eat baby?” Axiel's question make her sense back. The glare at him and around her. They are in the dining area. The whole family is staring at her which makes her shy and embarrassed.
“Just rice and adobo baby.” Lyn answer. She lowered her head to avoid their stories.
“Stop staring at her guys. She feels uncomfortable.” Axiel scolds them. They look away and focus on their plates. The lion is starting to get mad again. Axiel was short-tempered even on his family. He has the attitude of his dad on him so he is hard to offend.
“How's the business here son?” Fernando asks and stares at him. Now it's a serious discussion between father and son. No one dares to talk except to the one who's been asked for.
“It's all fine dad. I can take care of those businesses we have here in the Philippines. No need to worry.” Axiel assured his dad that everything is fine and manageable.
“Good. I didn't make a mistake choosing you to handle are branches here in the Philippines. I will visit them tomorrow.” Fernando stated before continuing eating.
They finish dinner without any noise after the conversation between Axiel and Fernando ends. Lyn didn't enjoy eating because of the pressure and nervousness she feel because of the pressure of Axiel's family.
The maid serves tea in the living area where they are now. They need to digest what they ate before leading to each room upstairs. Axiel fills their cups with the tea before seating down beside Lyn that is now behaving well.
“How's your study iha?” Kyla broke the silence around them by asking Lyn. Iha was a Filipino word that means child or girl.
“It's all fine Ma'am.” she managed to answer the question without stuttering. She wanted to run away and hide to avoid them. She even forgot to call Kyla's mom instead of ma'am.
She can't bear to be with them but she can't do anything because it is the parents of her beloved boyfriend. They will soon become her mother-in-law, father-in-law, and sisters-in-law.
“What about your parents iha? I remember that your house was near to my parent's house before. Are they doing well now?” Kyla asks again. She want to know if the Lyn she knew before was still the same as right now.
“Btw I want you to call me Mom, not Ma'am, please iha. You're not a stranger to me. I treat you as my child before and I want to do it now too. You will become my daughter-in-law soon anyway.” she added which make Lyn blush.
It's like Kyla wants her so much to her son. It is good news after all.
“They are also fine Ma----”
“Mom” Kyla correct her.
“Owww... Mom hehehehe” Lyn continue awkwardly. She is not used to it for now but she can be used to it someday.
“Try that tea mom, dad, Noami, Joanine and you too baby. I just order that from America. It tastes good and I guess you will like it too.” Axiel changes the topic to save Lyn from the questions of his mom.
He can't dare to see Lyn being forced to answer those questions to respect her mom and he didn't like it. He can't put her at risk that he can regret later.
They do what he said and take a sip on their tea and savor its taste. Savoring its naturalness that is very good in health and advisable to people.
