Chapter 63
The meeting spot was set at the "Ambrosia Eatery", a ce decked out in old world charm and
tranquility, with secluded private rooms. From the rooms, you could take in the stunning view along
the corridor, and you could even catch whiffs of the faint floral scent.
All the Meyers were present except Ashley Meyer. Phillip was in a deep blue suit, looking like he''d
knocked a few years off his age and seemed full of vim and vigor.
Trenton Meyer was still in his military uniform, Jacob Meyer was in a suit, and Erica Meyer and
Lauren Nelson were also dressed smartly, exuding an air of refinement and elegance.
By the time Ethan turned up with Rita and Zander, the Meyer n was already there. Clearly, they
were giving this meet-up between the two families the seriousness it deserved. Rita and Zander
were a bit taken aback when they saw them dressed so elegantly.
Ethan did a quick introduction, and everyone took their seats.
"Sorry to drag you folks all the way to A City," Phillip, the patriarch of the family, began. "We the
Meyers have snagged such a great daughter-inw, it should''ve been us paying you a visit in B
City, but we didn''t want to drop in on you unannounced. I hope you can understand."
"Nah, don''t sweat it," Rita replied with a smile. "Even though Izzy is our niece, she''s like a daughter
to us. Seeing kids tie the knot is a joyous asion. As parents, all we want is their happiness, all
the other stuff is just a formality. It doesn''t matter who visits who, it''s all about family get-togethers."
Rita herself hailed from a prominent family. Even though she''d married Zander and was leading a
simple life, she still carried herself with grace.
Phillip chuckled in agreement. "Rita''s got it spot on. That''s what marriage and life are all about, we
don''t fuss over superficial protocols."
"To be honest, I was a bit nervousing to A City, given the disparity between our family
backgrounds. Izzy''s a straight shooter, and I was worried about her adjusting to married life. It
wasn''t until I saw how happy she is now that I finally put my mind at ease," Rita admitted.
"Rita, we don''t fuss over ''marrying within the same social ss''. I''ve told Izzy this too. I’m going to
sound a bit cocky here, but we don''t need to cement our status with a business marriage. Ie
from a military background, I don''t like fair-weather folks, I prefer down-to-earth kids like Izzy."
"Rest assured, Izzy is not just a daughter-inw to us. Trenton and I always wanted a daughter but
never had one. We''ll treat her like our own, and Ethan will be a good husband," Erica assured.
"I''ve got no doubts about that. Ethan''s cooking skills are something else. It''s rare to find boys who
can cook these days, especially with Ethan being such a busy bee."
Erica gave Ethan a sideways nce. She knew he could cook, but she''d never tasted his food. She
used to be content if he visited home a few times a year.
"Maybe it''s a family trait, my husband, my father-inw, and my brother-inw can all cook. Izzy''s
impressive too, she''s a certified ountant and has been practicing for years. That''s not an easy
certificate to get."
"Absolutely, bing an ountant means going through tons of textbooks, each a few hundred
pages long. I''ve been a teacher all my life, and those books give me a headache. But Izzy aced the
exam in a year. When she enrolled, the school even rewarded her and asked her to share her
experience with others."
Izzy blushed and muttered, "Auntie..." There was no need to mention such trivial matters. From
what she knew, Ethan was also a top student, and her aunt praising her like this would make her
feel awkward in front of him.
Just then, arge hand was ced on her shoulder. Izzy blushed and fell silent.
The dishes started to arrive, and everyone chatted while eating. It was like a cozy family gathering,
with no awkwardness.
Erica and Rita chatted away, one praising Izzy, the other praising Ethan.
Izzy felt embarrassed while listening to them. She never knew she had so many good traits.
Zander was also having a conversation with the two Meyer brothers, asionally clinking sses.
Although Zander was a teacher, he was also quite worldly. Trenton and Jacob, despite their high
positions, were not arrogant, and they chatted without any barriers.
The atmosphere was surprisingly good. Izzy and Ethan locked eyes and couldn''t help but smile,
feeling like outsiders who were unable to join in. Izzy excused herself to use the restroom, but on
her way past the service counter, she overheard a haughty female voice, "What on earth is going on
here? I clearly made a reservation. Why do we still have to wait for a table? It''s my mom''s birthday
today, and you''re making us wait to celebrate. How will youpensate us for this?"
A waiter was trying to pacify her, "I''m sorry, Ms. Galeana. I told you yesterday that business is
booming at Ambrosia Eatery. Even with a reservation, we have to amodate customers on a
firste, first-served basis. Your dining time is scheduled for tomorrow evening.”
“My mom’s birthday is today! You lot gotta find us a private room somehow, my parents are on their
way." Emma Galeana was relentless.
"I''m really sorry, Ms. Galeana, we just can''t squeeze you in today. We apologize for the
inconvenience."
Izzy didn''t want to deal with Emma at all. She gave her a quick nce, then made a beeline for the
restroom. But some people just wouldn''t let her off the hook. "Haha, Izzy, I heard from Aiden that
you''re hitched now, and to a regr Joe at that! When did your taste be so... ordinary?"

Izzy kept walking, ignoring the chattering behind her. Seeing Izzy indifferent, Emma rushed up to
block her path, ring at Izzy with venom. "Izzy, I don''t get how you''re still acting all high and
mighty. You think you''re still the little princess of the Galeana family? The only Galeana princess
people in A City know about now is me. You''re just a cast-off daughter who got disowned by your
own dad in the papers. A few years ago, you had to slink off to another city with your tail between
your legs."
