If Serena couldn't control her anger anymore, she wouldn't hesitate to pour water on her stepmother's face. Her head started to hurt and her hands were shaking from holding back her anger. Was the engagement really canceled and she was going back to hell?
In the current situation, she can only hope for support from Asher's family. Because Asher's family was very kind to her, at least helping her against the wishes of that cursed family.
On the other hand, Serena was holding back her anger, while Asher still showed a relaxed expression. "Why don't you want us to get married? Is it because you don't want your family's good name to be ruined by your youngest daughter marrying your eldest daughter's ex-husband?"
Melda smiled slyly, folding her arms. "If you already know the answer, why are you still asking?"
"Actually, from the start I suspected that you wouldn't approve of our engagement because of that unreasonable reason. I don't care if you curse us or not." His gaze was very intense looking at the beauty of his future wife. "I will still marry Serena, if necessary we will marry secretly so that journalists don't target us."
Tiana was amazed at her son's very manly attitude when defending his future wife. Initially she wanted to help resolve this debate, now she lets her son resolve it his own way. Actually, she was also testing her son whether he really loved Serena or not.
Hearing his son-in-law's firm answer, Aaron could only force a smile. Because in fact he still didn't want their youngest daughter to marry the perfect CEO in their eyes.
"You're really hard to predict, Asher. It used to seem like you were the one who loved Lariette recklessly, now your heart is very easy to move on to other women," concluded Aaron.
"I've said it before. Actually, I don't want a marriage with Lariette. I want to marry Serena even though she's not the main heir." Asher tapped the table rhythmically lightly. "Okay, if you don't want us to have a wedding, I can obey you. However, I still want to register our marriage."
Melda and Aaron thought for a moment. As usual, the offers given by Asher always made it difficult for them to make decisions quickly. Their guess was correct that Asher would use any means to take Serena from them. Even now, they are still curious about Asher's true plan. Why does Asher really target Serena when there are still many more perfect women?
"Okay, we don't mind it," said Aaron resignedly.
"Thank you dad." Asher bowed respectfully.
"But, you still can't show your relationship openly in front of everyone!" snapped Melda.
"I won't let that happen." Once again, Asher was able to smile happily when he saw the sweet smile displayed by his fiancé at this time, making his heart start to bloom.
After having various debates at the family meeting, Melda and Aaron said goodbye briefly. Now only Asher's family and a couple were left who were smiling their most beautiful smiles while holding hands.
"By the way, sorry to interrupt your sweet moment. You guys don't mind if you get married but there's no need to have a wedding party?" Tiana asked with a worried look.
Serena shook her head quickly. "No problem, Mom. I just want to stay with Asher. That makes me happy."
Asher put his arm around his fiancé's shoulder arrogantly. "A wedding party being held with great fanfare does not mean that a husband and wife will live happily ever after. For me, simply registering our marriage and getting a marriage certificate clearly indicates that Serena and I are husband and wife."
"It's true what Asher said. There are many married couples in this world who hold wedding parties that are too lively, but their relationship ends in failure." Serena pursed her lips. "It's like my and Orlando's relationship ended in failure."
Tiana gave a pitying look while holding Serena's hands. "If my son hurts you, you have to report it to us."
Victor nodded while grinning at his son. "We will confiscate all his wealth."
Asher rolled his eyes. "Dad, mom, why would I cheat when I already have Serena now!"
"We're just reminding you. Don't get married a third time! Serena must be the last!" Victor scolded.
Actually, there are still many questions that Serena wants to ask about her relationship with the Asher family in the past. Why does Asher's family love her so much even though she is just an outcast?
Victor looked at the expensive watch on his left wrist. "It's getting late. We'll go home first."
Tiana hugged her daughter-in-law briefly. "Take good care of yourself, okay?"
Serena nodded. "Asher and I will visit you guys when we have free time."
All the way back home, Serena and Asher still didn't make a sound. Again, Asher looks mysterious even though previously he talked a lot to defend her desperately. Now Serena has to start talking again?
Even when they arrived home, they still hadn't spoken to each other. Serena already suspected that the sweet words Asher said during the family meeting were just an act. Because Asher was forced to want to marry her to fulfill his parents' wish and wanted to kill her one day.
Now she couldn't help herself. She hugged Asher's body from behind while leaning her head on the broad back. "Thank you for today."
Asher's facial expression looked nervous as he touched the back of his fiancé's hand. "I will still marry you, no matter how much everyone doesn't approve of our marriage. I don't want you to be trapped in prison again."
"Then, can I ask one thing? Why is your family so kind to me? Then, when your father said that I have known them since childhood, is it true that we have known each other before?"
"Serena, I–"
"Why have you been silent all this time if we've actually known each other for a long time? Actually, I had an accident when I was six years old and I didn't remember anything! I didn't want to look like a fool! From the start you were targeting me to be your wife, I was actually suspicious! There must be some purpose for you wanting to marry me!"
