Chapter 137

 Old Man Bill requested, Jo didn't much think about his request, he agreed instantly.

“Of course”

Old Man Bill smiled at Arial, before Jo and the both of them, left to the garden.

Jeane came to her “I know you remember me, your boyfriend his owing me a lot” Jeane started asking for her debt instantly.

Arial lowered her head blushing profusely, her action took Jeane aback, she looked at her fingers, and saw the shinning gold ring on her finger.

“What!” she half-yelled and half-screamed.

Old Man Bill took Jo to his garden, he waved Jo to settle on the chair opposite him, he looked at Jo intently.

“Jo, do you know what I brought you here?” he asked, looking at him sternly, Jo shrugged.

“I don't” he responded flatly, without mincing words, Old Man Bill nodded.

“Can you remember how many ladies you have brought home?” Old Man Bill asked with an arched eyebrow.

Jo thought deeply about the question, and realized he had lost counts of the ladies he had come home with, he usually pay ladies to follow him home whenever his Old Man Bill pesters him to marry.

“I can't remember, Dad, can we go straight to the point?” he asked, he wanted to cut the chase.

Old man Bill's cheekbones rose, and his lips curled up in disdain, “what is wrong with you, Jo, what games are you up to this time?” he asked, watching him intently.

Jo was confused, “I don't know what you mean, Dad” he protested, feeling wronged.

“Of course, you do, you are up to your old tricks once again, you want to deceive that pretty young lady, and I know her, that is the youngest C.E.O in the City…” he paused briefly when he saw Jo's beaming smile.

“Are you going to marry her?” he asked, he is tired of going around the matter.

“Of course, Dad, I am here so that we could fix the engagement party day, I love her Dad” he said, Old Man Bill became excited.

“Good” he responded with a happy smile on his face, “we should celebrate this” he suggested and both of them exited the garden.

Jeane was all over Arial, she was very excited about their proposed union “let her be, Jeane, stop pestering her” he nudged Jeane away from Arial, and placed his arm around her waist.

Jeane felt wrong, she pursed her lips tightly “Uncle Jo, I was only keeping her company, why did you react that way?” she asked, feeling offended.

Arial felt the atmosphere becoming tensed, she tried to speak but shut her mouth “focus on your studies, you shouldn't be meddling on adults matter” Jo reiterated.

Jeane bright up and stretched her palm, “my reward!”

“Is sunny here, can we all go in” Old Man Bill chirped in?

Jo chuckled “I owe you, Jeane, how about I hand over the reward later” he winked at her, not wanting Old Man Bill to hear about the reward,
