Chapter 3 - AGREED TO MARRY HIM

Grandma Victoria immediately turned pale, her eyelids suddenly drooped as if in pain, while her right hand held her left chest and hissed softly.

Scarlett and Julian hurriedly approached her with panic that was so dominant, Grandma Victoria then became unconscious, causing Julian to scream frantically for Grandma Victoria's personal nurse.

"What happened?" Scarlett asked panicked.

"Grandma is always like that when her wishes are not fulfilled," replied Julian, still in extraordinary panic.

Scarlett snorted in annoyance, she hated why she had to be trapped in a situation like this, this was not her initial plan. There was a deep sadness on her innocent, beautiful face.

Scarlett just stood still next to Grandma Victoria who was not yet conscious, while the nurse was still busy helping her while waiting for the personal doctor called Julian to arrive. Scarlett's innocent face kept looking at Grandma Victoria's face, which was so calm and beautiful, even though she was 65 years old, Grandma Victoria was still very fresh and looked youthful, to the point that Scarlett never thought that Grandma Victoria actually had heart disease, the nurse told her.

Not long after, Julian arrived with their family's personal doctor. Julian handed over Oma Grandma Victoria's treatment to the doctor, then took Scarlett's hand gently to take her out.

"I want to talk to you," Julian whispered to Scarlett.

Scarlett nodded and resigned herself to following Julian's steps out of Grandma Victoria's room. There is anxiety within Scarlett, she is afraid that Julian will force her to comply with her grandmother's wishes. Scarlett is not ready to get married, because she is only 24 years old, and Scarlett's desire to make her dreams come true is still very strong.

"I don't want anything wrong with Grandma," said Julian in a deep voice.

Scarlett was still silent, she already knew the direction of Julian's conversation, for that reason she was very sad and anxious, Scarlett really wanted to run away from the house, but she also couldn't bear to see Grandma Victoria's condition now.

"How about we just follow Grandma's wishes?" Julian offered.

Scarlett's pair of pitch black eyes suddenly widened perfectly in shock, she then shook her head slowly.

"You have to want it, Scarlett. I don't like rejection. Of course I will pay dearly if you agree. Your life will definitely change a lot. I'm a famous actor. How can you reject me? Ah, this is harassment for me," said Julian, angrily.

"But I also have the right to refuse, Julian. I really idolize you, but you shouldn't force me as you please like this. I only got to know this family about two hours ago, but why am I already trapped in it?" Scarlett replied annoyed.

"Whatever," Julian replied angrily as he walked away from Scarlett.

Because the doctor called him and told him that Grandma Victoria was conscious even though her condition was still very weak.

"I'm glad Grandma is awake," exclaimed Julian, who still looked very worried.

"Where is Scarlett?" asked Grandma Victoria in a voice that still sounded very weak.

Julian didn't answer, to be honest, Julian was really annoyed with his grandmother who he thought loved Scarlett too much, even though with Selena, a beautiful model who had been his girlfriend for three years, Grandma Victoria was never like that.

Yes, Grandma Victoria never liked Selena, even though Selena was the perfect picture of a beautiful woman, the feeling of the woman who had cared for Julian since he was a baby said that Selena was not a good woman to be a wife, she only cared about her career. Selena was once challenged by Oma Grandma Victoria to give up her career to marry Julian and Selena did not hesitate to reject it outright. Selena really loves her career.

"Do you not love Grandma anymore, Julian?" asked the 65 year old woman in a voice that sounded shaky.

"I really love Grandma," Julian replied softly.

Julian grabbed the hand of the woman he really loved and kissed it, Julian already considers Oma Grandma Victoria like his own mother because she was the one who took care of Julian since he was three months old. Mama Julian, who was Oma Grandma Victoria's only daughter, died due to illness, while his father remarried a year after his mother left.

"So?" Grandma Victoria asked again while pulling her hand from Julian's lips.

The woman refused to be treated like that by her grandson because she was upset. Grandma Victoria wanted Julian to comply with her request.

Julian was silent, he couldn't answer.

"We have agreed to comply with Grandma's request," said Scarlett, which made Julian very surprised by Scarlett's sudden appearance and his statement which changed to agree with her.

There was a happy smile that suddenly spread across Grandma Victoria's face, who still looked very beautiful, she then raised both hands and grabbed Scarlett's body which was approaching her, Grandma Victoria hugged Scarlett tightly with joy.

"Thank you Scarlett, you are a good girl," Grandma Victoria muttered not very clearly because now her face was buried in Scarlett's long hair.

Scarlett just nodded then let go of the hug while glancing at Julian, while Julian smiled happily at her.

"Rest, Grandma, don't think about anything else, Grandma's health is very important," said Scarlett with a smile that soothed the hearts of anyone who saw her.

Grandma Victoria nodded, then made her body lie down on the bed again with Scarlett's help, the woman was so relieved and she complied with Scarlett's request to rest, she closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Scarlett got up from her seat and left Grandma Victoria's room and just passed Julian.

"Wait!" Julian shouted after she came out and closed the door to his grandmother's room.

Scarlett immediately stopped in her tracks and turned towards Julian. She had to have a long chat with her idol artist regarding her decision.

"Scarlett, thank you for making sacrifices for Grandma. I owe you," said Julian.

Scarlett just nodded and smiled faintly at Julian, in fact Scarlett really objected to suddenly getting married at her current age, but she couldn't bear to see Grandma Victoria get sick like that, plus she thought this was a golden opportunity for her to become the wife of a famous actor like Julian, apart from his reputation which was currently on the rise, Julian was the most handsome actor she had ever seen on her television screen, she didn't want to waste it all.

"You dress up nicely, we'll have dinner at the cafe tonight to discuss the agreement I offered earlier."

Scarlett nodded again, but this time she was a little shy. Her heart jumped with joy when she heard that Julian would invite her to dinner tonight.

"But I didn't bring any clothes other than the ones I was wearing, I got pickpocketed when I arrived in NYC," answered Scarlett.

"Don't think hard, you are the future Mrs. Julian, all the servants here will serve you well including providing everything you need."
