Chapter 6 A Gift on the First Meeting, He Liked It


    The two had just stepped into thepound of the George residence when a tall white figure ran from


    the room and stopped in front of the two in few steps.


    "Brother! You''re finally here!"


    Riley Watson''s eyes suddenly widened. This…young man in a white tailcoat with meticulously groomed


    hair was actually the punk who asked for directions during the day!


    Hendrix George and Euan George''s looks were not much simr. The temperament waspletely


    different, Euan had a cold characteristic in him while Hendrix was naturally warm and cheerful, and


    people felt that he was friendly.


    With the small episode during the day, Riley and Hendrix both smiled unspokenly.


    "Hello, sister-inw! I long heard that sister-inw is a beauty, and today we finally met. However,


    sister-inw is even more beautiful than what I heard. Brother, you are fortunate!"


    Riley smiled, and before she could say anything, Euan said with a stern face, "You are inquiring about


    news instead of focusing on your study abroad?"


    Hendrix scratched his head and pretended to be ignorant, "Study is certainly important, but I''m also


    concern about Brother''s marriage."


    Euan nced at him, then handed him a handbag that the driver had just handed over, "Your sister-in-


    Riley tilted her head to look at Euan''s side face, trying to find clues from his face. However, all of his


    expression changes seemed to be directed at Hendrix alone, and not taking her into ount at all.


    "Thank you, sister-inw! The gift chosen by sister-inw; I definitely like it!"


    Riley smiled graciously, "It''s not something good either, just as long as you like it."


    Euan''s expression slightly turned serious.


    "Father and mother are waiting inside. Brother and sister-inw, let''s get in!"


    Euan did not say a word, took a step, and walked inside. Hendrix''s eyes drifted inadvertently to Riley


    and thought of something, then shook his head again to deny himself.


    "Let us in. What are you standing still for?" As he stepped onto the steps, Euan coldly and solemnly


    said to Hendrix, who was still standing in ce behind him.


    "I''ming. I was just admiring the night scenery!" Hendrix took two steps to catch up with him.


    Riley was confused. The two brothers have not seen each other for five years. Shouldn''t they first


    exchange greetings and say something like "you grew taller and became handsome"?


    But if these words came out from the mouth of the Euan, how horrible it would be.


    The three of them entered in order. When they were changing their slippers in the foyer, Riley had to


    unclip the crystal buckle of her high heels, and the bag in her hand was in the way. She was about to


    put it on the shoe cab when two hands reached over at the same time.


    The hands of Euan and Hendrix hung together in mid-air. Hendrix shrugged his shoulders and withdrew


    his hand. Euan took her bag, changed his slippers, and went inside.


    Riley was perplexed. The way Euan acted just now; was he trying to y a scene of conjugal love in


    front of his brother?


    That definitely embarrassed him.


    Hendrix lowered his voice andughed, "Sister-inw, Brother is very considerate to you."


    Riley did not deny, "Well, quite good."


    Hendrix added, "Sister-inw, don''t look at my Brother as he was cold and domineering. He is a


    standard gentleman when he is being gentle."


    Riley glimpsed at the tall figure of Euan, and smiled coldly. Was Euan ever gentle? Knock it off.


    The vintage crystal chandelier that hung over therge living room was brightly lit, and the ancient red


    sofa was empty. Jakub George was holding scissors to trim an orchid on the antique shelf.


    "Dad."


    "Dad."


    Both husband and wife greeted in unison. Jakub didn''t even raise his head and continued to fiddle with


    the slender leaves of the orchid, "You''re back. Go sit in the living room."


    "Yes."


    "Yes…"


    The quiet living room had a smell that could suffocate people.


    Hendrix snatched the scissors from Jakub''s hand. He was acting cutesy while also seriously smiled


    and said, "Dad, I''vee back after a long time, and you only looked at the flowers and not me. I''m


    heartbroken."


    Jakub''s intense eyes swept his son''s face, "You have grown up. Learn something good instead of


    learning how to act cutesy."


    "Because you are my dad. Of course, I will act cutesy in front of you. Come, dad, let''s sit together."


    Hendrix''s series of actions shocked Riley. Damn, Hendrix was bold enough. He actually dared to do


    these in front of Jakub?


    The strange thing was, Jakub actually did not lose his temper?


    In her memory, Jakub never smiled, and his face was tensed all day. His expression could simply be


    copied and pasted.


    To Hendrix, Jakub suddenly changed to a different person.


    "Everyone is back. Let the kitchen prepare to serve the dishes."


    A gentle middle-aged woman''s voice spread down from the second floor. Anika Gill, who was wearing


    a vermillion embroidered cheongsam, came down from the second floor. She was over fifty years old,


    but her well-kept face did not have a single wrinkle, and her long and shiny hair was worn into a bun


    with a hairpin without any decoration inserted diagonally. She was wearing two sapphire rings on her


    hand, and her body was slightly plump; her steps were slow and elegant.


    The three people were busy getting up, and Euan stepped forward, "Mom."


    The others behind him have not had opportunity to greet her, and Anika had already pulled her son''s


    hands. She put them in her hands and patted it, looking at his cheeks in a distressed manner, "Why


    have you lost weight? You did note back just a few days, and you have be so thin. I let you


    live at home, but you did not listen. Who will take care of you when you live outside? Look at this


    face…"


    Riley sneered in her heart. Mother-inw''s indirect usation was a high-level trick.


    "I''m fine. You don''t have to worry. I''m an adult, and I know how to take care of my life." Euan''s tone was


    a little impatient.


    Hendrix deliberately came closer to look at Euan, "Brother''s face is rosy and lustrous, and his condition


    is still good. I see that sister-inw has taken good care of Brother."


    Anika did not directly speak after him but moved her view to Riley, "I don''t care how you are in the


    hospital, but back home, your husband is all you have. If you have the effort to take care of those


    patients in the hospital, why don''t you stay at home and take care of your man."


    Euan frowned, "Today is Hendrix''s first day back home. Mom, don''t focus on the wrong things."


    Was he speaking for her?


    Riley pursed her lips. In front of her mother-inw, she originally had little position, and now that Euan


    had lost weight because he was sick, the first one to be med was of course her.


    "Mom, recently Euan worked too hard. Every day he works overtime in the office, and he was home


    from workte at night. He returned toote, and the reheated meal will affect the taste. The meal also


    became less nutritious. Next time, I will wait for him toe back home before cooking so that the


    meal is fresher."


    Riley made things up to praise Euan''s dedication to his career and also to conceal the fact that the two


    of them lived apart. The main reason was to win a round in front of her mother-inw.


    As she said, Anika couldn''t pick a fault and just answered yes with a cold look.


    Euan''s lips inadvertently pursed. ‘You were really good at lying.’


    Hendrix couldn''t stop praising, "Brother is blessed! You married a good wife!"


    The food was already on the table, and they sat down. After they sat down, Anika suddenly continued


    the conversation, seemingly unintentional but targeted at someone else.


    "You say your sister-inw is a good wife? If she is a good wife, they are married for three years, but


    why she didn’t give birth a child?"


    Riley suddenly felt the chopsticks were too heavy to hold the food, so she had to put them down.


    Hendrix smilingly picked a piece of broli onto Anika''s te, "Mother, you don''t understand it. Now,


    many foreign couples that have married for many years do not want children. Brother and sister-inw


    only married for three years, don''t you let them enjoy the world of two?"


    Anika looked askance at Hendrix, "Hendrix, what benefits did you get from your Brother, or were you


    bewitched? Hmph, whether she doesn''t want to have a baby or she simply can''t have one. It''s two


    different things!"


    Euan spoke slowly with a low voice, "Hendrix, you like to eat hairtails, and these are East Sea hairtails.


    They are fresher and more tender than foreign fish; try more."


    "Thank you, Brother. Sister-inw, you shall eat too."


    The skin on Riley''s face was so tight that she couldn''t smile. She tried to squeeze her eyes, "Alright."


    Anika taunted, "None of the dishes on the table can help with pregnancy. If you are considerate, as a


    doctor, don''t you know all these? What is the use of eating more if the actual problem is not solved?"


    Riley could not help but grit her teeth. Every time she came, Anika never showed her good attitude,


    and today in front of her brother-inw, she was even more aggressive.


    Jakub said in a clear and cold voice, "Enough, have the meal."


    Anika didn''t want to stop. She turned and asked, "Euan, are you still in contact with the girl from the


    Saunders family? The one named Lydia."


    Riley''s back obviously tensed up, and she looked at Euan with alertness. Lydia, this name like a taboo


    between them, was said by Anika so smoothly and naturally.


    Euan said while eating, "Yes, she recently had to endorse a product of thepany."


    Anika tilted her upper body, and her face was full of smiles, "Lydia is still single, right? She is well-


    behaved and thoughtful, and I like her. If only…" she nced at Riley, "it wouldn''t be like this now!"


    Riley clenched her teeth; she had the urge to put down her chopsticks and leave!


    Hendrix saw Riley''s every move. In just a few minutes of contact, he had understood the status of his


    sister-inw in the George family. He could not help but sneer in his heart. The George family, heh!


    "Mother, the lyrics goes like that. The one you can not obtain is always in desire, the one you favored is


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    always spoiled . Brother married the sister-inw, and sister-inw is the best then. If the girl named


    Lydia came to our family, she might not be what you thought of."


    Anika fiercely stared at Hendrix, "Your study abroad is just to learn these nonsenses? I do not know


    what is spoiled; I only know that some people should not have appeared!"


    She hit the nail on the head, and even the previous cover-ups were taken off. Anika''s disgust for Riley


    was clearly revealed.


    The table was silent for a moment, and Riley quietly looked at Euan. She thought he would say


    something, but no. His silence was like a hand pushing her into the abyss ruthlessly.


    Anika continued to sneer, "Also, the business of the Watson family has been doing badly again


    recently, right? Hmph, are you nning to lend some money again?"


    Riley''s fist was clenched under the table. She felt the pain in her whole body.


    Hendrix also did not dare to speak again.


    Euan put down his chopsticks, "Don''t talk about business on the dinner table. Also, the Watson family''s


    business has nothing to do with the George family, and even more so with you."


    Jakub raised his eyes, and his sharp eyes looked at Euan, "So, you don''t intend to assist when


    something happens to the Watson family?"


    Euan wiped the corner of his mouth and prepared to leave the table, "Right."


    Riley''s heartpletely fell into the bottom!
