Chapter 10 Arranged Engagements Are Over?
"Marinette what is so great about Adrien?" The narrator/ Summer asks.
"Adrien is great because he is kind, understanding, good a fencing, and handsome," Marinette says.
"I love him!" Marinette remarks
"I ran away because I can not marry Nathaniel when I love Adrien. I do not think my father understands this though," Marinette says.
Meanwhile, with Tom Marinette's father, he decides he must call off the engagement between Nathaniel and his daughter, Marinette. Tom calls a number and explains what he wants. He finishes, hangs up and smiles.
Tom's POV: Now, my daughter is free to marry whoever she pleases and I hope she returns home soon.
Gabriel Agreste turns to Natalie, "Has my son been found yet, Natalie?" He asks.
"Sir, he is not anywhere inside the mansion, or on the property either," Natalie says.
"I believe he does not wish to be found. I will call the police," Natalie remarks.
Natalie calls the police and tells them Adrien Agreste ran away from home.
*On the phone "How long has he been gone?" The police officer asks.
"He has been gone for at least one night and is only seventeen years old," Natalie lies. She knows Adrien is older than this.
*On the phone "Madame we know he is older than this, but unless he wants to be found a search for him will do us no good," The officer says.
"Yes, but Mr. Agreste is worried about his son, sir!" Natalie says.
*on the phone "If he is only been gone for a day, there is no need to panic, Good day, Madame," The officer tells her. He hangs up and shakes his head.
"Gabriel, the police refuse to do anything, can you believe it?" Natalie says.
"What, how dare they keep my son away from me like this?" Gabriel says angrily.
Elsewhere with Adrien, shh...
Adrien thinks, I am glad I made it out of there when I did.
Adrien's POV:
Serves my father right for being so unreasonable.
Three days later, Adrien thinks it has been three days since he has seen Marinette and spoke to her. He hopes he can meet up with her again soon. He misses her so very much.
"Do not worry, Adrien it is okay! Chole plans to help you. Marinette misses you too, bye Adrien!" The narrator, Summer assures him.
"Bye," Adrien says. He thinks, who was she and how does she know I love Marinette?
Adrien looks out the window and sees it is dark outside. He sneaks out and heads toward the special meeting spot. He hopes Marinette will show up tonight.
Marinette smiles as she sends a text to a number in her phone marked as Romeo.
Marinette's text
Romeo, I am on my way! See you soon! Sincerely, Juliet
Adrien sees the text and blushes. He texts her back from his normal unlisted number.
Adrien's text
My dear Juliet, I can hardly wait to see you again, it has been to long my love. Love, Romeo
Adrien wonders how soon she will show up at their meeting place.
A few minutes later, "Hi, it is nice to see you a-again," Marinette says.
"Hi, it is great to see you again, too, Marinette," Adrien says.
Adrien hugs her and thinks, why can not my father let us be together. How long must we meet in secret my Marinette?
"Marinette, you are more lovely every time I see you," Adrien says.
"You are more handsome every time I see you," Marinette says.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel decides since Marinette does not love me, I must call off the engagement.
Nathaniel's text to Tom
Mr. Cheng, your daughter has no love for me, so I release her from the engagement.
Tom's text to Nathaniel
What a relief, you did the right thing and sorry it did not work out for you.
You are right she is in love with some other boy, but I have no idea who he is though.
Marinette hears her phone vibrate, and says, "Hold on just a second, Romeo."
She checks her phone and sees the text from her father, and breathes a sigh of relief.
Tom's text to Marinette
Marinette, the redhead called off your engagement!
Tom's text to Marinette
Oh, and I wish you and the man you truly love happiness. Love, your father
"Adrien is not this wonderful?" Marinette asks as she shows Adrien the text from her father.
"Yes, my love that is great news,'' Adrien says. He wishes his father would do the same for him.
"Do not worry, we will find a way to make us work," Marinette says.
Klaire leaves the Agreste mansion and breathes a sigh of relief. She sends a text to Marinette.
Marinette's text from a mysterious number 3
Hi, the plan worked!
Marinette's text
"Wow, that is great!"
Mysterious number 3
The Agreste wedding is a no go, I repeat the Agreste wedding is a no go!
Marinette's text
I have no idea, who you are, but thanks for your help!
Mysterious number 3
I am Klaire, and new in town. We never met before, but I heard about your troubles and had to pitch in.
*She thinks I hate to lie to her but have to incase this phone is bugged.
Elsewhere, Klaire sneaks back to Alya's and rings the doorbell. Alya looks through the peephole, and opens the door.
"Come inside Klaire!" Alya says loudly in case anyone is watching them.
"Thanks so much, Alya, do not mind if I do," Klaire says and enters her home.
Alya closes, locks the door, and asks, "Well, how did it go, Klaire?"
"It went better than I thought it would, Mr. Agreste fell for it and called the wedding off,'' She says.
"I have to use the facilities, be right back." She says. She enters the bathroom and removes the disguise.
"Goodness, I am glad to have my regular clothes back on now," Chloe says.
"Besides, my father would have a fit if he ever saw me in that other ridiculous outfit," Chloe explains as she exits the bathroom.
"Alya, hope everything works out for everyone from here on out," Chole says.
"Yes, same here, and Chole please use the back door so one gets suspicious," Alya says.
"Sure, Alya!" Chloe says, exits through the back door and walks back to her apartment.
Back to Adrien and Marinette, "Adrien, you no longer have to marry, Chloe!" Marinette says.
"What, how is this even possible?" Adrien asks.
Marinette smiles as she shows Adrien the text she got from Klaire's number.
"This is a relief, but my father still does not approve of us," Adrien says.
"Marinette, you are the only one for me no matter what anyone else says, and no matter what happens," Adrien remarks.
"You are the only one for me, too," Marinette says.
