J was thrilled with Caspar''s words. She asked, "Really? The twins are beginning to look like me?"


    "No!" Before Caspar could answer, Daniel coldly cut in and shattered her excitement.


    The atmosphere around them became awkward.


    Fortunately, Jerry came in and greeted Caspar, clearing out the tense air.


    Holding Michelle in her arms, J sat back next to Daniel. When she saw Jerry, she thought about his sermon just now, so sheined to Samuel, "Dad! I need to tell on Jerry!"


    Samuel raised his brows and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "Jerry Shao had be a ''long-winded man''. He gave me a long sermon earlier!" J deliberately red at her brother, who just sat back on his seat.


    Jerry rolled his eyes at her and went to hug his son.


    ...


    He ignored J''s stare.


    "Dad! Look at him! See how bad his manners are? Am I really his sister?" protested J. J was not actually angry. She was just joking around, trying to lighten up the atmosphere.


    Sitting in E''s arms, Melissa curiously looked at her protesting mother and asked, "Mommy, what is a ''long-winded'' man?"


    "A person who says a lot, " said J.


    "But Mommy, you''re a long-winded person, too! Everyday, you say ''Melissa, don''t do this... don''t do that..'', right?" asked Melissa.


    Everyone burst outughing.


    Melissa imitated J''s tone, and gestured like a parent, which made everyoneugh out louder.


    J''s face darkened, and with her palm on her forehead, she told everyone, "I must teach Melissa Shao a lesson tonight when we get back home!"


    "It''s Melissa Si!" Daniel corrected her. He had arranged for someone to change Melissa''s name on the household registration.


    But there seemed to be some technical dys, so that it wasn''t changed yet.


    "J, when will the twins go to kindergarten?" asked Caspar. He sat next to Jerry. There were two people between him and J.


    J was about to answer him, but she instantly received a warning nce from Jerry.


    ...


    J really wanted to cry. Daniel had seemed to have gotten into Jerry''s head. Instead of J, Daniel answered, "Mr. Caspar, my daughters will go to kindergarten one monthter!"


    Caspar returned a smile and tried to keep calm


    When her sister ran away from the wedding, Autumn was forced to marry Charles.


    His name had been linked to innumerabledies.


    He had different girlfriends for every day of a year.


    Autumn had never thought that she would fall in love with him.


    e, have some food here!" demanded E again. Spark was moved by E''s hospitality, but he still used his unfinished work as an excuse and left the room.


    When the door was closed, Daniel spoke to Samuel and E, "Dad, Mom, here is a copy of the file. Please have it. It''s my betrothal present for you."


    ...


    Daniel did it on purpose!


    Why did he pick up this time to give his betrothal present? He purposely did it in front of Caspar!


    Daniel was such a sly fox.


    Samuel and E exchanged nces with each other. Samuel understood Daniel''s intention.


    Taking the betrothal present was a symbol of blessing to a marriage, so Samuel should ept it. Samuel then took the file packet from his hand, and while wearing a smile, he said, "Okay, thank you. What date is your wedding ceremony?"


    "The date is not fixed yet. We can discuss itter, " said Daniel. Of course, the Shao family and the Si family must discuss it together.


    While ying with the ss in his hand, Caspar remained silent the moment he heard Daniel. Daniel had done a good job! Caspar now really felt like an outsider.


    When he saw Samuel ept Daniel''s present, Caspar thought he might as well give up. His beloved woman would get married to this man, and there was nothing else he could do.


    "J, congrattions!" Caspar''s words made Je back to her senses.


    She looked at Caspar, in a daze, and asked, "What? Congrattions on what?"


    ... Instantly, Daniel''s face darkened.
