Chapter 344


    I was dragged into the gift shop soon after. When I was picking the gift with Christopher, I found out that


    something was off. Did Christopher just con me into visiting his family? He knew that I was nervous


    about it, so he deliberately triggered my nerve by talking about his mom setting him up on blind dates.


    That is what got me to agree to visit his family! Oh, that sneaky b*stard.


    Christopher told me that we would be buying some gifts, and I thought that he would be getting


    something especially wonderful. I assumed that he would get rare gemstones or ssic paintings that


    the rich seemed to like. They probably won’t be happy with just random things.


    Yet, Christopher brought me to a random supermarket and bought two boxes of walnut cookies as gifts.


    It was just like thest time, and the way he was going through the motions got me to shake my head in


    disapproval.


    “This is way too half-hearted, Christopher. I may be penniless, but I still grew up as a member of the


    Tanner family. No daughter-inw will ever buy gifts so cheap on her first visit. This won’t do. Let’s go


    buy some more stuff.”


    Christopher dragged me back to him and insisted, “Don’t worry. Walnut cookies are fine. There’s no


    point in buying anything else anyway because I called home yesterday and told my mom that I will be


    bringing you over. Everyone is waiting for us now. The chef at home is really good, so remember to


    chow down. You don’t need to hold back.”


    He called home yesterday… I slowed down. That man had always done something behind my back,


    but he did everything for my sake. I never needed to worry about those misceneous tasks.


    I recalled how things were after Lyle proposed. We were already preparing for the wedding, and it was


    only right that we visit his family. However, he suddenly said that he had to run some errands that day


    and refused to pick up the phone afterward. Wendy bullied me when I visited and made things so


    embarrassing for me. She even nudged me while I was pouring tea and got me to scald my hand.


    I didn’t know what Wendy told Lyleter that night, but he never came to see how I was doing. He even


    scolded me over the phone and thought that I was disrespectful toward Wendy by leaving early.


    Christopher was perfect, even without beingpared to Lyle. That got happiness to blossom in my


    heart, but I deliberately put on a grouchy expression and said, “You called your mom on the night


    before? Why didn’t you tell me? What have you done behind my back?”


    “I’m thought I’d surprise you. Aren’t you happy?”


    “Surprised? Yes. Happy? Not really,” I lied, then circled my arms around his waist to pinch him a little.


    When he went to answer his phone, I slipped into the gift shop on the other side and bought some


    expensive gifts before sneaking them into the bag. I got acquainted with Christopher’s parents and


    brother after we returned from the ind, but I still thought it was better to get nicer gifts.


    I was holding Christopher’s hand when I stepped foot into the Lane residence for the second time. We


    were smiling lovingly as we entered the house, and I didn’t feel anxious at all. The courage to face


    anything and the determination to be with Christopher were the only things I felt.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Darius was ying with his kid when he saw us. He smiled warmly and greeted, “Wee. Our


    parents are waiting inside, and we have an extra guest tonight.”


    “Is this my future aunt? Hi, my name is Dn Lane,” greeted a boy before he put his hand out and


    requested, “I’ve already called you aunt, so where’s my reward?”


    “You little rascal,” said Christopher before he got some cash out of his pocket and handed it over to the


    boy. “You’re not allowed to buy robots anymore, though. Seriously, can’t you get something else


    instead?”


    “Thank you, but as a man, I shall remain loyal to my robots,” said Dn, who ran into the house with


    the money in his hand. As he ran, he shouted, “Grandpa, Grandpa,e quick. Uncle brought his


    future wife here. She’s a nicedy.”


    I blushed hard when I heard how the boy called me Christopher’s future wife.


    Julia and Gordon came out from the house and saw how I was standing healthily in front of them. They


    seemed pleased, and Julia said, “I’m d you’re okay. Come and take a sit.”


    I followed them along and saw Monica inside the living room. That was when I understood what Darius


    meant when he saw there was an extra guest.
