Grandfather Allen thought for a moment and nodded his head and replied with all smiles "Sure, you can. I'll give my permission as the head of my family."
"Really grandfather, Are you really giving your permission? Lily asked excitedly to confirm again.
"Yes, Lily girl. If you want to come to my house so soon, I will say why not?" Grandfather Allen replied in a teasing tone.
Lily's face turned red. She was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer.
Grandfather Allen wanted to laugh at her embarrassment but didn't want to embarrass the little girl more, so he tried to change the topic and asked her, "But, what about your parents, should I talk to them?"
"No, Grandfather. I will tell them." Lily replied to him. She felt that it was her responsibility to tell her parents, to get permission from them. And it happened so suddenly, even though she believed they would accept her love, she was too worried about what they would think if she told them she wanted to get married tomorrow.
"Hmm, if you need any help, you can ask me." Grandfather Allen gave her his word.
Lily felt her heart warmed by his words. "I will, Grandfather, and I will never let you down for choosing me." She gave him her word.
Grandfather Allen smiled gently at her and reached out his hand to pat her head and nodded "Hmm."
"I think I owe you something, Grandfather." Lily replied with a smile full of gratitude. Grandfather Allen looked at her questioningly and she said, "Thank you. Thank you for letting us meet."
Grandfather Allen and Butler David were surprised again. Because, last night it was the same word that Eli had used to express his gratitude to Grandpa Allen. So, when Lily repeated the same thing, they experienced a sense of déjà vu.
Grandfather Allen nodded his head at her and commented "No wonder, you two became a couple in just one day." Butler David also agreed with his master words.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Butler David went to open the door. Lily's parents entered the room and nodded to Butler David, who had opened the door for them. They seemed a little tired. Probably, they were coming here from their work. After they went into the grandfather Allen's room, another person also entered behind them. That was Eli.
Lily stood up and walked up to her parents with a smile and greeted them, "Mom, Dad."
Hearing his daughter's voice and seeing her here, Lily's father asked her. "My princess, you are here. Did you finish your work? you rushed out early in the morning without even having time to eat breakfast at home.Tell me first, have you had breakfast or not? This is the only day you have an exception. Don't do this again. I won't accept it again, if you go out without eating anything."
Grandfather Allen understood what had happened but didn't answer that she ate here, he could see how much her father loved her.
Lily didn't know how to answer them. She suddenly felt sad, very sad and didn't know what to choose between her parents and her love. She couldn't leave with the three of them. What should she do?
"Sweetie, why aren't you answering? Have you not eaten anything? You promised to eat something outside." Her mother asked her worriedly.
Lily went closer and hugged them both at the same time, her eyes teared up but she managed to control herself and replied. "I ate my breakfast, Mom, and Dad."
Eli stood there silently watching them. Lily's father patted her on the head, while Lily's mother patted her on the back. "Mom, Dad, you both first greet Grandfather Allen. Then I'll introduce you to someone." Lily whispered to them. So only they could hear her and pulled back from a hug.
