Chapter 1459
Before going to meet Chris’ parents, Lena had already heard Lina’s introduction. Chris’ father was
Marco Hamerton—not particrly outstanding among the Hamerton descendants, but far from
mediocre.
Marco was knowledgeable and gentlemanly. He had little interest in business and had dedicated his life
to archaeological research. He was also an honorary professor in the Ancient Literature Department at
the University of Centrolis.
His wife, Fleur Warnock, also had quite a background. The Warnocks were a prominent military family,
with ancestors stationed on the border that continued to this day. Many members of the Warnocks held
important positions in the military, especially in border areas. Fleur’s family yed a significant role in
maintaining peace on the border.
On their way to the meeting, Chris said, “Lenny, my mom’s been pampered since childhood. Besides,
my grandfather has several sons, but she’s his only daughter. As such, she’s been doted on. Her
temper is a bit… Well, it can be challenging to deal with. She’s not very nice to me either. When I was a
child, I didn’t dare to provoke her. If she says something unpleasant, you…”
“Don’t worry.” Lena’s eyes were clear as sheughed. “I won’t argue with the elders. And if they say
something unpleasant, I’ll take it in stride.”
Since she had decided toe with him, she was ready to ept everything about his family.
Chris stopped in his tracks, speaking softly, “What I mean is, if she says something that makes you
ufortable, don’t be afraid. I’m here, and I’ll stand up for you!”
“Huh?”
“Don’t you remember?” He looked at her. “The fine tradition of us Hamerton men is that we never let
our women be wronged!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

Lena grinned and leaned gently against his chest. His strong and steady heartbeat gave her a sense of
security.
The meeting was set at Splendor Hotel and was grand in scale.
Once Lena came close to the golden pce-like building, her heart thumped.
The hotel had been cleared, and the general manager came to wee them personally. The servers
bowed slightly in reverence by both sides of the red carpet.
Lena carefully entered, hooking arms with Chris. Facing a menacing thug did not make her fearful, but
she was feeling a bit weak in her knees right now.
“Chris, this…”
Chris smiled gently.
Evidently, he was quite satisfied with this arrangement, so Lena did not say anything more. She tucked
away her difort, trying her best to stay rxed.
Lena took a deep breath when they entered the private room and met Marco and Fleur.
Maybe it was because Lena was used to being friendly with Zephyr and Cordelia that she wasn’t
familiar with the idea of an upper-ss family. In front of Marco and Fleur, though, she felt a bit more
reserved.
That was especially the case with Fleur. She sat straight, dressed in a fancy, colorful gown. She also
had a matching shawl that added to her elegant aura. Even the fringes on her shawl screamed wealth.
Fleur silently observed Lena, examining her carefully. Lena’s calm expression didn’t reveal much.
“Lenny, these are my parents,” Chris held Lena’s hand and introduced her, “Dad, mom, this is Lena.”
Lena respectfully nodded.
Marco had a weing smile and praised his son for his excellent choice. His down-to-earth
demeanor put Lena somewhat at ease.
However, a cough interrupted their conversation.
With her arms folded before her chest, Fleur smiled slightly and looked at Chris. Her tone was tinged
with sarcasm and arrogance as she said, “Son, is this the girlfriend you’ve chosen? Well, she looks so-
so, doesn’t she?”
Chris frowned in exasperation.

“Lena, right?” Fleur continued. “I heard you saved Granny Janine?”
“Mom…” Chris shot her a look.
He had repeatedly reminded her not to speak like this beforeing here! He did not expect her to
still…
“What?” Fleur had an arrogant air. “Don’t know what ‘Granny’ means? Can’t understand Chaisene?”
Chris winced. “Mom, with your broken Chaisene, it’s no wonder… regr people can’t understand.”
