บท 298: "Business Deal"

Day Thirty Four…

~~*****~~

Old Man XU didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He had just heard a very ridiculous proposition today. Even he himself was having a hard time setting Nathan up with a woman. How much more marrying him off with a stranger?!

"Just tell me that you are just kidding," Old Man Xu blurted out when he recovered from his shock.

"No. I'm not," Maximilian responded, raising the cup of his coffee.

"Why my son? Why does it have to be my son? As you said, your daughter is a lovely woman. She can have any man she likes. My son is a single father. Why not find a bachelor man for your precious Unica Hija?" Old Man Xu couldn't fathom Maximilliam's way of thinking. He didn't know him at all. And their families both live in different countries.

"Why do you want to get involved with my family?" Old Man Xu could no longer hold his emotions. "Do you even know what you were asking me?"
