Chapter 14 (MARRIAGE CONTRACT)

Chapter 14 (MARRIAGE CONTRACT)

“Done.” Ron saved the document. “Good, go print it out,” Harry said. He stood up from the chair and carried the laptop. “We’ll be going back there tomorrow,” Ron nodded his head and left the room.

As he went down the stairs, he met Harry’s Mum on the way. She looked at the laptop in his hand and smiled. Ron bowed to her, she gave him way and he went to the study room.

He was about to print out the document when mum entered the room. She closed the door behind her and Ron lifted up his head.

“Is that the contract?” she asked him. “Yes ma’am.” He stood upright. “Okay, let’s see it.” He moved aside and she turned the laptop to her way. “This is good,” she said after reading what was written there. “I think I should add something.” She thought. “But this boy is here and he might tell Harry.” She thought of a way to divert his attention.

“Uhm Ron. Go get me that book.” She pointed to a book on the top of a shelf. “Yes ma’am.” Ron turned around with out having another thought and she quickly typed in what she wanted to. Before he could even turn back, she was done with what she wanted to do.

“You did a very good job.” She completed him after taking the book from him. “Thank you ma’am.” Ron bowed his head a little. She left the study room grinning Mischievously. Ron printed out the document, he didn’t proof read it again as he has already done that before he left Harry’s room.

The next day, Harry and Ron made their way to the town after he was done with the meeting he had that day. He didn’t forget to get Emily and Jeff a gift and Belle too.

They arrived at the house and Ron knocked on the door. Emily was the only one at home because Belle has left for work. She opened the door and was surprised to see them again.

“What brought you here?” She stepped aside and let them in. “I came to see Jeff.” He Sneered. “You should have informed me you were coming.” She closed the door and locked it. “You won’t even answer my phone and worst, you’ll tell me you are not home.”

He sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs.

“Where’s your friend?” Harry asked Emily who was standing arms akimbo. “She went to work,” she said. “And where’s Jeff?” He looked around. “In the room, sleeping,” she gasped.

“Bring him to me.” He instructed but she didn’t move. “No, I’m the only one at home and I don’t know what will happen if I give him to you.” She rolled her eyes.

Harry smiled, he didn’t mind if she brings Jeff to him or not because he would soon be seeing him every time he wish. He looked at Ron and gestured to him to give him the document. Ron handed it over to him and he turned to Emily.

“This is for you,” he said giving it to her. “What’s that?” she asked. “Just take it and see for yourself.” She took it from him and scoffed before opening it.

“A marriage contract!” she exclaimed. “Yes, you got it right,” Harry smiled. “For who?” she asked confusingly. “You of course,” he smiled. “For me? Why? Are you doing this just so I could hand over Jeff to you?” she asked flipping the documents.

“Ye…” He was interrupted by Ron. “You are mistaken, Miss Emily. My Boss is in love with you.” She was shocked when Ron said that and she turned to him.

“Yes, he’s in love with you. I don’t know if you saw the signs he has been giving you all these months. It’s because of the love he have for you that he was going to your place to check up on you and take care of you,” Ron smiled.

Harry too was shocked, he wasn’t going there because he likes Emily. It was because of Jeff.

“Miss Emily, please accept the contract and make my Boss happy. We’ll come back for the document tomorrow,” Ron said and Emily looked at Harry.

Her heart was pounding, her dream was already coming true. She wished he could say that with his mouth but that wasn’t a big deal. The more she stole a glance at him, the more his love increased in her heart and the more she became shy.

“I’ll go through it,” she said to Ron and held the document to her chest shyly. “Thank you miss Emily, you sure is a good person,” he smiled. “Boss, we have another meeting by Noon, I think we should get going now.”

Harry stood up, he walked out of the house without turning back to see Emily who was staring at him from the door. He entered inside the car and Ron drove away.

“Yeah!” Emily jumped in excitement after she has closed the door. “He loves me? Oh my God!” She screamed in excitement. “Why didn’t I see the signs he has been showing me? Oh God this is a dream come true.” She looked at the document again and hugged it tightly.

“Can’t wait to show this to Belle.” She went back to the room hugging the document to her chest. She sat on the bed closer to Jeff and looked at the paper again. “This is a dream come true. But wait, why did he bring a marriage contract if he loves me?” She brushed the thought aside.

“Maybe this is how rich people do it.” She flipped the pages. “I won’t make another mistake again, I’m going to read this very well and then tell him of the part I don’t want,” she nodded her head.

“Jeff, I’m going to be your Dad’s wife and we’ll live happily together.” She said excitedly.
