Capítulo 9: What Are You Doing Here?
Tony's profound words, which had multiple meanings, caused Ross's smile to freeze.
From the father's perspective, Shaun showed greater interest in one of his daughters when Ross and his oldest dated first. Although he understood the two were busy in their careers, he could see the difference between the two men.
Anyway, he knew Shaun had a lot of free time to visit Yonah, while Ross couldn't date Shenna because of her work schedule. He just believed it was time for the older children to settle down and produce several offspring for the two families. This was crucial for securing a successful and thriving future for their family.
Everyone praises Ross and Shenna as a match made in heaven; both are good-looking and intelligent. Moreover, they are very responsible in their field and are very mature already. They have shown how capable they are of managing the two families as the head of the clan.
The elders were filled with joy at the mere thought of it. And so, the second generation was pressured to persuade the third generation.
"Daddy, what are you saying?" On the side, Yonah's cheeks blush red from embarrassment after Antonio assumes that she and Shaun have a romantic relationship.
However, the two fathers overlooked her cute reaction. They smiled delightedly, and none noticed how Ross's countenance blackened.
Helpless, he could only hide his hands inside his trousers' pockets, clenching his palm into a fist as his frown deepened.
Meanwhile, Yonah felt discomfort in her heart, and she wanted to prolong this conversation when the two fathers apparently paired her with Shaun.
Shaun is fun and one of the handsome guys she has met. However, she believes she is still too young to consider a relationship.
Besides, her heart sees him only as one of her closest friends. Perhaps the day will come when she'll fall in love with him.
Maybe, someday…
"Dad, aren't we having lunch now so that we can visit the academy after?" Yonah has to think of a way to change the course of this meeting.
Otherwise, the two fathers would not stop pairing their children!
"Alright. How about you, Ross? Do you have lunch appointments?"
"My schedule is vacant. I'm good to join." Ross, who has an important client to meet, lied.
"Great!"

After Ross instructed Sarah, he followed his dad to the parking lot and drove his car, where Antonio tailed them. He brought them to a restaurant he frequented because of their dishes, which tasted homemade.
Although the dishes' plate presentation differs from that of a five-star Michelin star, Ross also preferred the delicious food his clients enjoyed.
In fact, because of its dishes, the restaurant was always fully booked. Therefore, he spoke the owner that he was interested in investing.
The restaurant has expanded, and several large VIP rooms on the top floor are reserved for the Varga family.
He suggested that his mother hold the welcome dinner in his restaurant. But Keira reasons that the place would be narrow after decorating it.
Although the restaurant's interior was pleasing to the eyes, it was a little farther from the city center because it was on a ridge.
After a half-hour drive, the four cars park in the reserved parking space exclusive to Ross's family and guests.
Yonah hurried out of the car and ran toward the railings, which overlooked the city.
"Isabelle, you aren't a little child anymore." Antonio scolds his youngest daughter when she forgets to act like a proper lady.
Antonio is just a bit concerned because, in his mind, the Varga will be Yonah's in-laws in the near future.
"Dad, I'll take a picture first! You can go ahead first without me."
"Honey…" Antonio wanted to reason out that she might get lost. He noticed the packed place: cars were in and out of the parking area, and several guests were lingering in the garden.
"Don't worry, Tony. Let Yonah stroll the surrounding area while we wait for our food to be served. Ross is here to accompany her, anyway." Brandon glanced at his oldest son, and the latter nodded in agreement.
Brandon quickly intervenes when he notices Antonio is about to reprimand his daughter.
After the two fathers headed to the restaurant, Ross silently followed Yonah. She is photographing the city skyline since the sky was too clear today.
Later, the crowd noticed Yonah because she was wearing the most exclusive school uniform in the country.
With the light blue beret hat on, she looked like a gorgeous character from online gaming.
"Is she an influencer?"
"She looks like a model to me!"
"I don't think she is an actress. But she was too pretty! Let's ask her if we can take a photo with her!"
A group of teenagers trotted toward her.
Ross has been paying attention to Yonah because of her short skirt when this place was naturally windy. Upon noticing the crowd staring at her exposed, long legs, he signals the bodyguards to keep this area off limits.
Hence, people who plan to ask Yonah for a picture are left disappointed because they are immediately blocked and warned that the area is exclusive and only VIP members can access it.
Looking satisfied that the crowd had dissipated and several had left the premises, Ross walked up to Yonah, took off his coat, and placed it around Yonah's shoulder.
Surprised, Yonah looked up at the thoughtful man. Dazed, she smiled shyly and thanked him.
"Thanks, Kuya Ross."
"Small things… You can wear this until we're inside."
"Okay." Yonah nodded obediently, and then she resumed taking photos of the place. Soon, she came to him. "Kuya Ross, let us take a photo together! I will show it to Sister Shenna!"
Yonah's sweet smile has never disappeared since they arrived at the restaurant.
Although Ross hesitated to take a photo together because she would share it with Shenna, he posed and smiled in front of the camera.
After two takes, Yonah immediately messaged Shenna and sent two photos. Seeing the lengthy message, Ross was curious about what it said.
"Nana, do you want me to take a photo of you?" Yonah immediately agreed to his offer.
The next moment, Ross busied himself, taking Yonah a series of photos. He took the camera that Yonah's family driver was carrying, and, like a professional, since he also loves photography, he directed Yonah to make different poses, which she perfected every time. She is photogenic, especially since she exudes the aura of a young superstar.
Her beauty could be mistaken for that of a young goddess in showbiz and fashion.
"Brother Ross! Nana!"
From a distance, a young man who just exited the car waved at them before he climbed the stairs and joined them.
"Shaun, what are you doing here?" Ross asked irritably. 'How did he know in the first place? He is supposed to stay in the academy until four in the afternoon!'
