Chapter 24：gimme time.. (1/2)

The atmosphere of the Bey family's dining room this morning felt a little different. where her parents and Mario had already gobbled up their toast, meanwhile, Bey came last, with heavy steps, he pulled the chair slowly, the corner of his eye stealing a glance at Mario.

Getting glances from his girlfriend made Mario a little nervous and embarrassed.

his lover's face turned stiff, his behavior became clumsy. She played with her lips, making an indistinct expression on her face.

She still remembers what happened in Mario's room, awkward.

”What's wrong with you two?” Mama asked with a surprised face when she saw the expressions on the faces of the two young people at the dining table.

Bey turned her face toward Mom quickly, holding back all the turbulent feelings in her chest.

Dead! Don't let Mom be suspicious! Don't let my parents find out! Bey hoped silently

Her sweat started to fall, she glanced at Mario, then looked away.

”We, between us, nothing happened ..” Calm down, calm down .. Bey's heart whispered. She tried to calm herself down, Her lips were forced to pull a smile, how could her parents not be suspicious of seeing their daughter's strange face.

Mario nodded his head too, he said yes to supporting Bey's explanation.

”Yes, we didn't do anything.” Mario's sentence which intends to support Bey's words, actually made Bey's parents even more suspicious.

This is bad! I have to end this scene! Inner Bey said.

She got up from the chair, gulped down her glass of milk. She hurriedly picked up her bag.

”I'll go to college first” Bey kissed her parent's cheeks, she stopped her footsteps as she stared at Mario's face.

Forcing a smile on her lips with a stiff look, Bey's face flushed red.

”A, A, I'll go first ...” she said stammering goodbye to her boyfriend.

Mario raised his hand wanting to wave but what was there, he was like giving instructions in the presentation room, his face was expressionless, his hand movements were stiff, he must have felt what Bey was feeling right now.

Her lips formed a smile, her face stiffened, tightened. He sure looks weird, Bey looks away, you're making my parents even more suspicious!

Bey wants to get out of the house as soon as possible, remembering the tense junior behind the loose towel, last night made Bey's face burnt again.

Geez, how can I forget what I saw yesterday!

She shook her head, her palms moving around her hot face. Even though it was still in the morning.

Point of view by MARIO

Mario ate his toast with a cheerful face, he finished his first loaf and Bey's mom got some more.

The middle-aged woman who still looks attractive refills Mario's plate.

they make the chat warm and cheerful. When Bey joined Mario suddenly stopped their conversation.

Bey's arrival makes Mario speechless, he can't act normal, he still remembers last night's ridiculousness.

Mario could not enjoy breakfast normally this morning. It felt like all eyes were on his face.

He felt that he was intervened, he was very nervous when he saw Bey's parents, staring at him too.

There was guilt in his heart

Bey speeds up breakfast, Mario sees the remaining milk stuck to the corner of his lover's lips, he wants to smile because Bey's face seems to have a mustache but Bey's glances stop his desire.

He lowered his eyes, pretending to be busy with the food on his plate.

Bey left the dining table kissing her parents but did not give Mario small kisses, he was a little disappointed. Is it because his parents are here, or is there another reason?

”Let's have more breakfast, Mario” Mom added milk to Mario's glass, making his lips smile.

He loves to be treated warmly in this house.

A soft mother, a warm father's voice, like a miracle in Mario's life.

I am nothing, not even able to make Bey, their daughter, happy. But Bey's parents have been very nice to me. Mario was touched.

”Mama, daddy, I have something to tell you ..” Mom stopped pouring milk for a moment, even though Daddy Bey's glass was not filled.

She immediately pulled the chair back down and stared at Mario's handsome face.

Mario tried not to put on a serious face but it turned out that both of his lover's parents had caught Mario's strange attitude well.

”What's wrong?” Papa Bey's voice sounded worried and a little heavy, Mama glanced at Mario with a question mark, they glanced at each other and looked back at Mario.

Mario took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, regulating the beating heartbeat.

His voice even felt trembling before speaking, he took another breath.

”I asked to give you some time,” Mario said, surprising Bey's parents.

”I will solve my problem with the Widjaja family, please believe in me,” Mario's voice asked, sounding a little begging to be precise.

”I asked for time to sort out my problems before I could bring Bey into my life.”

Bey is very happy in this family, I am afraid that my problem with Alfa will ruin her happiness, but... I don't want to lose Bey, I like her.

Mario didn't dare to raise his head, he was afraid that Bey's parents would refuse his request.

The warm hand touched the back of Mario's hand. Someone again embraced his shoulders.

Mama held his hand warm, patted softly, her lips smiled as if to strengthen Mario.
