Soul Fusion Online-Chapter 107.2: The King Is Here Part 2

Greg scratched his head as he looked at Melgrave. "I.. Uhhh... Kinda told him you asked me over to celebrate your new place, and he insisted he was going to come as well."

Trisha's brow furrowed more. "Tri-Sha..."(Trisha...) Trisha heard Yuki call her name and looked over at her. When she saw Yuki's eyes looking at her with warmth and concern, Trisha let out a long sigh. "Fine! Because today is a day of celebration, I won't make any more fuss."

Melgrave looked at his daughter, then at the girl in the wheelchair, and smiled warmly at her. "You must be Yuki. I have heard a lot about you. You have my deepest gratitude for what you have done for my daughter. Since you and my daughter are bound for marriage, you may also call me father as well."

"Are you really going to be doing this!?" Trisha was ready to flip out. Why would he want Yuki to call him father when he was in no way her father!

"Tri-Sha!" (Trisha!) Yuki forced out a yell causing Trisha to freeze. She turned and looked at Yuki. Her eyes started to water up. "Tri-sha, vome here..." (Trisha, come here...)

Trisha leaned over, and Yuki whispered into her ear, saying: "No matter how much you dislike him, he is still your father. Whether you wish to be an Evergreen or not is up to you, and I will always support you. But for now, for the time being, let's just appease him for now to a point. Because if he decided to dislike me and forcefully takes you away, there is nothing you or I can do to stop it. I really do not want to lose you..."

Trisha understood that while she herself could act as she pleases, Yuki could not. So in order to make sure they could stay together, they had to at least appease him to a point. Sighing, Trisha nodded and kissed Yuki's lips. "I understand..."

Yuki nodded and looked at Melgrave: "Vather..." (Father...)

Melgrave lips curled up into a wide smile as he nodded his head in approval. "Good! Very good!" He then turned to Tina and asked: "Tina, we should set a date for the engagement."

"Wait! We do not need to do that now!" Trisha did not want to set any dates until Yuki was fully healed. If anything ever happened to Yuki during such an event, she did not know what she would do.

"Y-yes… Trisha is right. We should hold off until Yuki is able to move on her own. " Tina said nervously. She was growing a little bolder the longer Melgarve was here.

"Hmm... Yes, you are right. Sorry, I got overly excited." Melgrave bowed his head in apology.

"Trisha, James just called and said he is here with Sophia and Amber." Greg cut in.

"Humph! At least one of you has proper manners." Trisha ignored the embarrassed looks on both Greg and Melgrave's faces and went to the door to actually greet her guests.

"Trisha!" Amber came in and gave Trisha a hug. This was followed by Sophia. James tried to give her a hug too, but was left standing there with his arms wide open.

"Hello?'" Tina's cell phone rang as Trisha was walking back into the room. "You will be here in a few minutes? Okay, just come on in when you are." After hanging up, she said to Trisha: "My mother and father will be here soon."

"Huh!? Grandma and Grandpa are coming!?" Trisha was suddenly getting nervous. She wondered how they would react with the king sitting in their living room. She couldn't help but look at Melgrave, wondering if this old fart would scare Tina's parents or not.

"Don't worry, they will be fine." Tina knew her parents better than anyone. What she worried about was that they would be too open with their thoughts. When they first met Yuki, they were very good to her. Even more so when they found out that Tina wanted to adopt her. They began treating her like a treasure and sang high praise for Trisha. But… The king was a different story. They felt that the king was the cause of all of Yuki and Trisha's hardships, and even though they would not be completely wrong, she hoped they would not say this right to his face.

"Tina! Yuki! Trisha! We are here!" Tina's mother, Mrs. Watts, yelled out as she walked in. She looked around and saw quite a few people inside. Her eyes fell on everyone until they landed on Melgrave. "What the hell is he doing here!?"

"Ahem! Mom!" Tina ran over and pulled her mother to the side. "Mom, be good and don't cause a fuss!"

"What!? Should we keep our words to ourselves just because he is king!? Tina, let me tell you it is all..."

"Old Woman, cut it out! Are you trying to ruin our daughter and granddaughter's big day!?" An old man yelled out. This was Tina's father, Mr. Watts. He was walking with a cane and had a package in his arms.

Seeing this, Trisha quickly ran over and took the package. "Grandpa, we gave you so many A.I.s. Why are you not using them?"

"I'm not so old that I can't carry a package!" Mr. Watts said in a chiding manner but was still smiling warmly at Trisha. "Tri girl, how has my granddaughter been?"

"Hehe, Grandpa, come see for yourself. Grandma, you too!" Trisha took the two's hands and brought them over to Yuki.

Melgrave looked on with a hint of jealousy in his eyes. The difference in treatment was like day and night. But he knew this was his own fault. He should have figured out another way of protecting her. But he was not the only one feeling jealous. Greg and James also felt the difference in treatment was too big.

Yuki could see that Melgrave's expression was looking gloomy and sighed. "Vather, wome here..." (Father, come here...)
