    <i>“</i>Ms. <i>Teague</i><i>, </i><i>please </i>don’t <i>take </i><i>this </i><i>the </i><i>wrong </i><i>way</i>, <i>but </i><i>why </i><i>are </i><i>you </i><i>willing </i><i>to </i><i>marry </i><i>my </i><i>young </i>

    <i>“</i><i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>think </i><i>your </i><i>skepticism </i><i>is </i><i>wrong</i>. <i>I </i><i>would </i><i>have </i><i>wondered </i><i>the </i><i>same </i><i>thing</i>. <i>The </i><i>truth </i><i>is</i><i>, </i>I’m <i>doing </i><i>this </i><i>for </i><i>Ma</i><i>. </i>I’m not <i>sure </i><i>why</i><i>, </i><i>but </i><i>she truly </i><i>feels </i><i>I </i><i>am </i><i>the </i><i>best </i><i>person </i><i>to </i><i>marry </i><i>Kai</i>, <i>I </i><i>want </i>to do <i>everything </i><i>I </i><i>can </i><i>to </i><i>prove </i><i>her </i><i>right</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    I smiled thinking about her words from this morning.


    <i>“</i><i>Besides</i>. <i>I </i><i>have </i><i>the </i><i>feeling she </i><i>doesn’t </i><i>take </i><i>being </i><i>wrong </i><i>so </i><i>well</i>. <i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>want </i>to <i>be </i><i>first </i><i>time </i><i>that’s </i><i>ever </i><i>happened</i><i>.</i>”


    Cameron let out a loudugh, it was true, Ma Christiansen was not a fan of being wrong. He concluded that if this girl was smart enough to know that, at least she wouldn’t do anything to hurt Kai.


    As the arrived on the VIP floor, Cameron escorted her to the young master’s suite. As they got closer, Gracie could hear what seemed like arguing.


    <i>“</i>Mom, <i>I </i><i>just </i><i>don’t </i><i>think </i><i>this </i><i>is a </i><i>good </i><i>idea</i><i>! </i><i>I </i><i>mean </i><i>what </i><i>do </i><i>we </i><i>know </i><i>about </i><i>her</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    <i>“</i><i>Ka</i><i>, </i><i>I’ve </i><i>told </i><i>you </i><i>everything</i><i>.</i>”


    “<i>What</i>, <i>that </i>she’s <i>a </i><i>Rochester</i><i>! </i><i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>really </i><i>know </i><i>them</i>!<i>” </i>


    Then there was the sound a male voice, possibly Theo.


    <i>“</i><i>Ka</i><i>, </i><i>sweetheart</i>, <i>we </i><i>wouldn’t </i><i>do </i><i>anything </i><i>that </i><i>would </i><i>jeopardize </i><i>the </i><i>safety </i><i>of </i><i>your </i><i>brother</i><i>. </i><i>Now </i><i>I’m </i><i>asking </i><i>you</i><i>, </i><i>please</i><i>, </i><i>trust </i><i>your </i><i>mother </i><i>and </i><i>I.</i><i>” </i>


    As we entered the room, I could see a beautiful younger woman staring Ma and Theo in the eyes. This must be their daughter. I’d done a little research on my way to the hospital.


    The Christiansens had two children, <b>22 </b>year old Kai and 18 year old Ka.


    Suddenly, the three of them turned and looked at me and Cameron as we walked into the


    suite. Ma was the first to speak. Walking to me with a bright smile, she held her arms


    out to embrace me in a hug.

    Ka scoffed as she stared daggers at me. Tough little sister, I’m not worried…I didn’t die ande back to be defeated by a little sister. We’ll be friends in no time! Next, Theo walked over and gave me a light hug.


    “<i>Gracie</i>. <i>We </i><i>can’t </i><i>thank </i><i>you </i><i>enough </i><i>for </i><i>this</i>. <i>Allow </i><i>me </i><i>to </i><i>also </i><i>introduce </i><i>you </i><i>to </i><i>my </i><i>daughter</i><b><i>. </i></b><i>This </i>is <i>Kai’s </i><i>little </i><i>sister </i><i>Ka</i><i>.</i><b><i>” </i></b>


    I smiled brightly at Ka. She looked at me with doubt in her eyes but deiced not to push her parents. Looking away, she held her hand out as if to shake mine. Aht. Aht. I pulled Ka into my arms embracing her into a hug. Caught of guard, she didn’t get a chance to


    resist.


    <i>“</i><i>What are </i><i>you </i><i>doing</i>!<i>” </i>


    She yelled as she tried to squirm her way out of my embrace, but I wasn’t letting up. I hugged gently but firmly so that she couldn’t break my grip.


    <i>“</i>It’s so <i>nice </i><i>to </i><i>meet </i><i>you </i><i>Ka</i>. <i>I’ve </i><i>always </i><i>wanted </i><i>a </i><i>little </i><i>sibling</i>, so <i>thank </i><i>you</i><i>. </i>


    ??


    Ka finally stopped squirming and allowed me to embrace her. After pulling back, I smiled at my new sister who was now pouting but didn’t argue.


    Good. First part over.


    I then turned my attention to my husband to be, Ma then walked over to his bedside


    and held out her hand. I gently grabbed her hand and walked over to his bedside. With<fn6fae> This text is hosted at Find★Novel</fn6fae>

    <i>“</i><i>Gracie</i><i>, </i><i>I’d </i><i>like </i><i>for </i><i>you </i><i>to </i><i>meet </i><i>our </i><i>son</i>. <i>Kai</i>.<i>” </i>


    I wasn’t sure why, but I felt like I’d met him before, that’s not possible though. Ha.


    Smiling, I kneeled down so that I was at his bed level.
