The Royal Contract

Chapter 265 - The Longest Forever

"Are you sure about your plan? Should you run this with Dani first?" Laura asked as she talked to Alex about his plan to visit Ethan.

Well, she could see that Alex's intention was good. He was only thinking of what was best for Dani.

But she wondered if he thought of what was best for him. She did not like the idea that he was keeping this from Dani. Well, especially when it had the potential to cause problems in the future.

"I plan to tell her all about it, but I need time. I hope that you will keep it between the two of us." He understood the concern Laura had with his situation.

But he had thought about this and deliberated with the pros and cons. As of now, he believed this was the right thing to do.. Doing this for Dani was the only way to fix all their immediate problems.

He would deal with the consequences later when they arose. In the meantime, he had to take quick action on their present situation. And at the moment, time was not in abundance.

"I know that you feel obligated to help us because of Dani. But I don't think this is the right way." She sat in front of him in a coffee shop where they both agreed to meet.

Alex did not want to talk to Ethan without running by Laura his plans. But Laura did not like to discuss it inside the house, avoiding Ethan from overhearing their conversation.

"Well, once I marry your daughter, you will be my family too. You will automatically become my parents too. And I will do anything for Dani." Alex knew he had to convince Laura to agree with his plan.

"I feel like I should be thankful that you want to do this, but not at the expense of putting you in a delicate position." Laura felt she had to tell him what she felt about his plan.

As much as she wanted his proposal, the consequence and possible outcome of it in the future was a risk she was not sure she wanted for him.

But she was touched by his words. He was already considering them as his family. She suddenly felt so much love for this young man. Now, she could fully see what her daughter had seen in him.

Why Dani fell in love with this magnificent man, finding Alex so selfless that he was willing to risk his future for them.

"Don't worry about me. I am sure that I can resolve this in a matter of time. Let us just focus on the problem at hand." He told Laura, who was still unconvinced with what he wanted to do.

"Give me some time to settle this matter. When everything is stable, then I will tell Dani everything." Alex promised his future mother-in-law. "Besides, once I am her husband, I am obligated to tell her everything."

Alex never broke his eyes connection with Laura's, making sure she understood that he was serious about all his intentions. He had all of this under his control.

"I don't know why I am doing this. But fine. I agree. But as soon as a problem goes out of control, you have to tell Dani and me about it." She warned him.

Well, she might be a housewife now, but she did have some good experience in the past about running a company. She was willing to contribute any help.

"I promise," Alex swore, feeling like he was dealing with his mom. Katherine and Laura did have so many similarities, now that he had noticed it. "So, do I have your blessings?" He asked as he looked expectantly at Laura.

He suddenly felt like a child waiting for his mother's approval for him to go to the prom. It was silly, but he was delighted to feel that way with Dani's mom.

Laura was a wonderful mom, and anybody she would consider her child would be so lucky. She had so much love to give. No wonder Dani was like that. Dani grew up in a family full of love.

Now, he was in no doubt that Dani would also be a wonderful mother to their kids in the future. He could already imagine her taking care of them with so much affection.

"Yes," Laura uttered in a whisper, still doubtful of his plan. But this time, she was willing to go along with it. ????n????????ℯ????d.＆nbsp;????o????

That snapped Alex from his daydreaming, bringing him back to the matter at hand. Having kids would come soon enough when the time was right.

"Ok. I will have to see Ethan." Alex said to Laura, proceeding with his next step.

He did not want to waste time because, at the moment, he was in a rush. But he wanted to prioritize this situation because of its importance.

"Well, he would be at home where I left him to rest and mope around about his decisions in life," Laura stated as she took a sip of her coffee. It was indeed good to get out.

She could not wait for Katherine to arrive, and they could discuss the wedding. It was the only thing she was busy with nowadays that distracted her from Ethan's condition. Or else she might die first because of worrying about him.

"Shall I give you a lift home?" He offered, even if he knew that she had someone drove her in their meeting place.

He would enjoy a few more minutes of her company on their way to her house. It was like he was talking to his mom when he was with Laura.

"Sure. I could use some more conversations." Laura felt that ever since Ethan had been sick, it was just the two of them all day and night.

She had no issue with being with her husband, but a moody Ethan was no picnic. She understood that he only wanted to go back to work, but she wanted him to have his operation. So, who should win?

For now, she could only hope that Alex's plans worked because all she wanted was for her to spend the longest forever with her husband.
