Then I heard him offering me a seat, thank you Sir, I quietly sat down, my mind went blank like I have forgotten the reason why am here, not until I heard him saying my name, Ben Carter, an orphan, rise in the orphanage home, rejected every form of adoption because he thinks his real parents will come pick him one day, chosen to become a detective to help the innocent discover the trust, and hoping that from there he might discovered his parents way about, so let me ask you, Have you found them? I was speechless no words could come out of my mouth, I made sure I covered that part of my life well, but how the hell did he found out, now it registered in me why Ari is so capable and don't flinch, I mean who wouldn't be capable after having this kind of god as an Uncle?
No Sir I haven't finally I found my voice and answered,
He nodded calmly and finally looking up from the laptop, relax at his seat with his eyes locked in mine, I felt like he already read me in and out,
President Gideon, I said after repeatedly gingering myself from the inside, Sorry to bother you but please could you permit me to be with Ari? I'm here to ask for your permission Sir, I countlessly doubt my confident,
You already asked her out so why saying like you guys aren't dating ?
No no Sir is not like that, I want to build a future with Ari what I want is beyond boyfriend and girlfriend, I said calmly,
He nodded, and said you're clean, you can be with her as long as you keep being you, not like you can do anything to her,I just don't want her to be treated badly,
That girl Ari is my daughter the only family I have, I don't care if you're rich, poor, middle class, elite or something else, all I want is for you to always have it at the back of your mind is this, on no account should you ever in your life treat her poorly, even if am no longer in the world today, the world will still revolve around her,
I made my mind clear to him and that's on point,
I left President Gideon office that evening and I felt all the bones in me broken, I admired him, I wish I have an Uncle like him, but thank God he's about to be my Uncle in-law is really a big honour to behold,
That night when I got home I saw Ari clearing the table and I asked, what happened to the maids? Welcome daddy she put down the plates in her hands gave me a hug and a peck saying I dismissed them early, alright so how was the dinner with your staffs, I asked, ohh daddy it was great, leave those dishes there tomorrow morning the
