Chapter 131: Sell You Off?

'Father… How long do you plan to stay here?' Miley mused while she sat on the closed bowl inside Jorge's bathroom.

She stood up and leaned on the door and stuck her ear at the door to listen to her father.

"Now that Liam is not around… I feel so alone, so you two must not leave me for eating alone like this," Senior Sy started with his complaint.

Jorge chuckled and said, "Alright father… Sorry about this. It won't happen again, but father…"

"Yes, Jorge," Senior Sy asked while he accepted the cup of tea poured by Jorge.

Jorge sat down in front of his father and glanced at the door of his bathroom. He exhaled loudly before saying, "Father… You know how grateful I am to you and to everyone in our family for accepting me as a member of your own family… treating me always like your own blood."

Senior Sy's eyebrows collided and said, "Jorge, son, get to the point, please. You know how I hate long unnecessary introductions."

Jorge nodded and said, "I want to live separately father if you permit."

Senior Sy's heart sank when he heard his words, though he knew this was going to happen someday.

He knew that Jorge might leave the mansion and live on his own someday, but then he was still hoping he would not do that and stay with him always. He genuinely loved him, just like his own son.

He wanted Jorge to marry Miley and be his family legally, but he would not dare suggest it because it would look like he was dictating his life.

Jorge was like a son to him but again unlike Liam and Miley, he did not want to intervene with Jorge's decision, though he was always giving him options and opinions on various things which Jorge always respected.

"Son… I didn't hear what you say. You can say it with a lengthy introduction if it's important." Senior Sy almost whispered.

He at least wanted Jorge to not say those words again. He did not want any of his children to go away from him, that was why he had done a major renovation in his mansion so they would have their own niche in the mansion, a separate wing for Liam and Jorge as their own house where he still could visit easily since he would stay at the center with connecting lobbies.

Jorge let out a knowing smile while he glanced at his father. His father definitely heard him, but he wanted him to repeat his words, hoping he heard wrong.

"Father, I just thought it's better for me to leave the house for now. I want to court Miley properly, and it's very awkward if we live in the same house." Jorge straightforwardly informed.

Senior Sy's eyes rounded as he gasped, "Finally!"

Jorge chuckled, hearing his father's reaction.

"Good, good then. Leave as early as you can then and hurry up and start dating so we can decide on your marriage with Miley as soon as we can. Then afterwards when you both are married, you can both come back here in our home. But I must say…. I don't think living separately is necessary? It's not like you will crawl into Miley's room or Miley will crawl into your room." Senior Sy casually commented that made Jorge choke on the tea he just drank.

"Son… Are you alright?" Senior Sy asked Jorge who was coughing.

Miley on the other hand paled hearing those words from his father. He would ground her into a pulp once he found out she was inside Jorge's room.

His father might be aggressive when it came to her bro Liam, but it was different in her case. His father would not want her daughter going inside a man's room like that.

Well, he trusted Jorge of course but she would get a hard scolding plus she might end up getting grounded as well. She still recalled how her father warned her not to go overboard in bothering Jorge or cause any trouble in pursuing Jorge.

She leaned more since there was nothing for a while except silence.

"Father, I still think it will be best if I leave now. Hmm, my father's house is haunted already." Jorge commented in a jest.

Jorge's family left only the residential house to him. He was Senior Sy's business partner as well, but Jorge did not want to live alone, so he took him in his mansion.

He managed the business and his shares while he was still growing up and when he was at his right age. Senior Sy handed it back to Jorge, but he was not inclined in managing the business for some reason. Miley ended up looking after it for years now.

"I think I should stay and live there for some time while I court Miley. I want to do things traditionally and ask her hand for marriage properly." Jorge timidly added that made Senior Sy laughed out loud in gladness.

"Alright then son. Do what you think is best. I will leave you now and check where that brat Miley is…" Senior Sy commented as he stood up to leave.

Miley's face paled while her brain racked on the alibis she would say to her father.

The door opened up.

"Quickly leave because father is looking for you." Jorge murmured.

"Hey… So you will really leave?" Miley grunted.

"And why were you eavesdropping?" Jorge countered with lifted eyebrows.

Miley crumpled her face and was about to leave when she paused and turned around to say, "When will you look after the business yourself? Aren't you afraid I will sell you off?"

Jorge gave her a roguish smile before saying. "You should take responsibility for me then if you do that…"

"Hmmp! Why would I take responsibility for a stranger?" Miley scoffed and was about to turn back to open the door when Jorge suddenly pulled her for a breathtaking kiss.

Then he let her go and whispered in her ear, "This stranger will soon be your husband. Go now before I lose control or else you'll be grounded once father caught you."

"Tsk!" Miley blushed and her face looked like a ripe tomato. She beamed with pursed lips before gently opening the door as she looked left and right to see if the pathway was cleared.

Jorge looked so amused and even watched Miley running away in the hallway.

"She's like a mouse on the run…" he muttered with a grin, wondering what would be her alibi in case she got caught.
