The Crow Corporation private plane now landed at Cape Town International Airport.
Quinn quickly steps inside the car that waited for his arrival. His visit was a secret and keeping it hidden from the eyes who were watching him closely.
Ahead of time, Lucas already notified the hotel Manager of their arrival.
They entered a secret door of this hotel to avoid the media and people from recognizing him.
The moment Quinn seated on the sofa of the prepared suite for him, Lucas brother Niall immediately give his report about the job his older brother a.s.signed him.
According to Niall, the Young couple was in town. He gathered the information that they were preparing to go back to Hiryuu Island. The Young couple was now home at their farm somewhere outside of central Cape Town and Quinn decided to visit them first thing in the morning.
Quinn wandered his eyes to the vineyard of this town. It is not surprising how this part of the continent was too green. The UN has an on going huge project, targetting of planting more trees in the whole continent and creating a miracle and more life of these lands. It is an impossible dream that is why the Crow Corporation is now eyeing to finance this project.
And the best people to trust to handle this project is Ca.s.sandra"s parents. But that is not the subject of why he wanted to talk to them. His main purpose of meeting them personally is to ask an apology. He believes it is the best step to do to get their approval and finally would accept him being their daughter"s boyfriend.
He was been thinking also, that their age gap is one thing what Ca.s.sandra"s parents worried about. She is too young for him, Ca.s.sandra was 17 and he will turn 30 a few months from now. He needs to ensure that his intention is true.
Quinn takes a deep breath. So this is Ca.s.sandra"s world when she was staying in Africa during her summer breaks. Cape Town is a very beautiful town.
It was early in the morning and workers began tending the vineyard. They all glanced at the car when it pa.s.ses them.
Niall carefully parks the car on reserves area where another vehicle had also parked. Quinn steps out of the vehicle and he quickly found the man he wanted to meet.
Landon is a bit surprised to see who was his guest this very early morning. He and Hannah exchange glances and nods at each other.
"Welcome to our humble abode. What can I serve you, Prince?" Landon"s tone is full of sarcasm.
However, Quinn was prepared to be treated poorly by him.
"Good day, sir. I am wis.h.i.+ng for your ample time to talk about some important matters, especially about someone very dear to both of us." Quinn watches how Landon"s left brow rose upward while his face exhibiting a hardened expression.
But Quinn will never give up, he has no plan to do so. Before he flew here, he already informed his parents about asking Ca.s.sandra"s hand for marriage. His family is very supportive of his plans. Her mother Lily is much willing to accompany him but they can"t leave their works just like that.
"Sir, upon my visitation today, I am hoping for you to hear me out." Quinn partly bowed. Lucas and Jessie exchange gazes, their boss never bows to anyone except to the Elders and his family.
"And what should I expect from your words?" Landon asked Quinn.
Quinn keeps silent a moment. Landon strikes him straightly without letting him began to unravel his part.
"I truly love your daughter and my intention was pure. That is why I am here to ask your daughter"s hand, sir."
"It may not very clear because you haven"t heard it personally from me, but I already have said. . . I want you to break up with my daughter and stay away from her."
"Then, sir, at least explain to me what is your real reason why you are against in our relations.h.i.+p?"
"If you care about the age gap between us, I a.s.sure you and promise you that I will not go over the line. I respect your daughter and know my limitations."
"And how about the world you are living in Master Shun Crow?"
"I can"t give up one, and I won"t give up anything either, sir." Quinn stands firm on his words.
"If I give up the a.s.sociation for your daughter, then I am allowing a terrifying world for her to live in. And if I will do breaking up with your daughter as what you wanted, then the meaning of my hard work of influencing the a.s.sociation into good hands would lose meaning."
"I may not achieve a perfect world for your daughter, but I will work harder aiming a better world not only for your daughter but also to all the people dear to her. She is the main reason why I am fully taking my responsibility in the a.s.sociation. With my influences, I can do more of what is your daughter striving, sir."

"If I lose her then, my hard work to fulfill my own satisfaction will be only go wasted."
Landon looked at him intently, "and what do you mean about that, Mr. Williams?"
"I want to satisfy myself with the success of fulfilling your daughter"s happiness."
"And have you known what will make her happy?"
Quinn handed the folder to Landon, "Do you think you can pay us like this?" he asked Quinn. The folder stated a proposal and a Trillion US dollar amount.
"Never my intention, sir. I am trusting you to fulfill the dream of the woman I loved so much. I don"t have all the knowledge about the lands and possess any knowledge you and my parents have. However, I have my own ways to help out. My parents also have dreams and they were working on it. Allow me to be in the position of having more capabilities of helping not only them but also your dreams, sir." Quinn bows. "I know this is what your daughter"s dream as well."
Of course, Quinn has known these all because Ca.s.sandra would always mention them to him.
Quinn was surprised when Landon laughs. He was a bit confused.
"How long the two of you would stay standing there?" Hannah asked Landon and Quinn from the kitchen window. "Can the both of you could come over here now? The coffee is getting cold." Hannah invites the two men.
While on the round table, Jessie and Lucas have filled their mouth with toasted bread on a Blueberry Jam. Landon is able to grow them on this land. He did not only produce a good product but also gives a lot of jobs to the locals.
Quinn was dumbfounded. These two!
"Boss! Try this one! This is the Blueberry Jam you should serve in your hotel!" Lucas yells at him from the window.
"We"re not yet done talking," Landon told Quinn. "Let"s go, come on in."
Quinn heaves a sighed. How great, first step down! A little more, to won Ca.s.sandra"s parent"s approval. He followed Landon inside, taking the wooden stairs into their wooden floor. His eyes wandered inside the house where many pictures hang in every wall.
His eyes caught an intriguing photo on top of an antique dresser. He comes closer and picks up the picture frame. The photo was taken in the middle of Safari and his parents were in it; including Landon, Hannah, and him holding a newborn baby. Of course, none other than it was Ca.s.sandra!
A smile tore his lips. He now began wondering what will be Ca.s.sandra"s reaction after he will tell her that he was the boy in the picture.
Landon turned head and caught that smile. "What you were thinking?" he then asked.
"Ah, am just thinking, we should take a new picture like this one."
"Oh, this is perfect Pre-Wedding Photoshoot boss!" Lucas appeared behind Quinn. "You carrying the Miss on her white dress!" His photographer intuition starts firing up.
