Chapter 137
Mr. Eric glared at Martin angrily as they dragged him out.
“Suit yourself in prison,” Martin yelled.
He turned to look at his father, who was just staring at him, and slowly he reached for Martin and hugged him.
“I am sorry I pressured you into marrying her. I was just trying to improve my business, and I was wrong to force you to marry someone you don’t love,” Mr. Parker said, and Martin sighed and reciprocated the hug.
“Invite Evelyn for dinner…”

(Next day)
“You mean he wants to see me?” Evelyn asked, trembling, and Martin nodded, smiling.
“I’m scared,” she said, rubbing her sweaty hands together, and Martin sighed. He gently held her cheek and made her look at him.
“You don’t have to be scared, baby. My dad wants to see you, and it’s for a good reason.
Besides, I’ll be right there with you, so you don’t have to be afraid, okay?” He kissed her forehead, and Evelyn managed to smile.
“Come on, let’s get ready,” he said. Evelyn sighed before walking to her room.
He turned around only to see her mom staring at them.
“Mum,” he called with a smile.
“How are you doing today?” she asked, and Martin just nodded with a smile on his face.
“I went to visit my husband recently, and he told me you are working on getting him out of prison,” Mrs. Jackson said, and Martin’s eyes widened.
“I don’t want Evelyn to hear this.”
“But why? She will be so proud to know that you are trying hard to get her father out of prison.”
“Yeah… but I wanted to surprise her, and I don’t want her to worry while I work on the case,” Martin said.
“You are so sweet, Martin. Thank you for coming into her life,” Mrs. Jackson said, patting his cheek softly, and Martin chuckled.
“No, ma, I really want to thank you for bringing such a darling soul into this world and for accepting me,” Martin said, and Mrs. Jackson chuckled.
“Propose to her already. I want to have grandchildren,” Mrs. Jackson said, and they both burst into laughter.
“Well, I have plans for that lately. I am working towards it,” Martin said.
“Yeah, that’s the spirit,” Mrs. Jackson said, and they both burst into laughter.
“What the heck are you guys talking about?” Evelyn asked as she walked towards them.
“Nothing,” they replied at the same time, making Evelyn scoff.
“But…”
“It’s nothing, babe. Come on, let’s go already,” he grabbed her hand, and they both walked out while her mother just smiled.
She loved the happiness she was seeing in her daughter. She was so glad that Evelyn found such an amazing man who always puts a smile on her face.

“Martin, I’m scared,” Evelyn admitted, playing with the tip of her hair.
“Come on, I told you already you don’t have to be scared. No one is standing in our way anymore.
Maria and her dad were arrested in his presence, and he felt guilty for pressuring me to marry her.
Truly, my dad really wants to see you for a good reason, so relax. I am here with you, so you don’t have to be scared,” Martin said, and Evelyn sighed.
“I just can’t help but panic. The first time he saw me, he gave me that cold expression that he probably didn’t want me for his son.
So what if he still doesn’t like me anyway? What if he just wants to get rid of me? What if he wants to warn me to stay away from you… I can’t handle that,” Evelyn said, staring deep into his eyes, and Martin chuckled before he pulled her into a passionate hug.
“My dad wouldn’t do that… you’re just feeling insecure, and I understand you perfectly. He never liked you, and you’re thinking a day can change him, but does he have a choice?
If he doesn’t accept you, he loses a son, but I am damn sure he is trying to know you, so just relax,” Martin said, and peckwd her forhead.
