Meeting Gift


    "Wait, what?" Ethan and Pearl said simultaneously.


    No one had expected Katherine to say such a thing.


    What kind of a sister would make her younger brother quit his job and stay at home to take care of


    kids? Especially in such a big wealthy family. This was really just too unbelievable.


    "Is there any problem?" Katherine still looked quite serious, "Obviously, Pearl''s job is better and more


    promising than yours. So you should just stay home and take care of your wife and kids."


    Then he turned to look at her parents, "Mom, Dad, what do you think of it?"


    Enrique and Victoria were stunned for a moment. After thinking about their daughter''s suggestion, they


    found it actually reasonable. It looked like they were about to agree.


    Before they could say anything, Ethan said anxiously, "Mom, Dad, you''re not gonna agree to that, are


    you?"


    Victoria hesitated and said, "Your sister''s suggestion are quite reasonable. Pearl is very busy and our


    family doesn''t need you to make money for us. You should stay at home and take care of them. Do


    some houseworks as well."


    "No, that''s too ridiculous, isn''t it? How could a man quite his job only to stay at home?"


    "Fine." Katherine''s tone were cold. She nced at Ethan and said, "It''s okay for you to disagree, but


    your bank card will be frozen, and you''ll have to make money yourself."


    "Katherine Louise! You..."


    "I''m sorry, what did you just call me?"


    "You''ve gone too far this time."


    "I have given you a choice." Katherine slowly said.


    Ethan was so flustered that his face turned purple, "How can you make these decisions yourself. Pearl


    hasn''t even agreed to this yet."


    As Pearl was suddenly dragged into their quarrel, she almost choked on her food.


    "Cough cough..."


    "Pearl, are you okay?" Victoria quickly gave her a ss of water.


    "Aunt, I''m fine." Pearl drank the water. She was thinking about how to revert the situation.


    As she looked up, she saw Katherine looking at her, "Pearl, our family has always respected gender


    equality. So, what do you think of it?"


    Pearl hesitated, and she said, "Since you have said that men and women are equal, then Ethan''s


    opinions should be respected as well. In terms of professional aspects, he is no worse than I am."


    She said those words sincerely. Even though Ethan was a yboy, he was still very serious about


    studying medicine. While he was studying abroad, he always busied himself inb for days.


    Hearing this, Katherine didn''t say anything.


    The atmosphere gradually got awkward.


    Pearl started to regret it. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn''t have said that to help


    Ethan. She had already offended his sister. How would they get along with each other in the future?


    After a while, Katherine said, "Alright, let him work for some time and we''ll see."


    She agreed so quickly that even Pearl was shocked. Then the topic was suddenly changed to


    something else.


    "That was just unbelievable." Ethan muttered beside her.


    "What?" Pearl looked at him.


    Ethan whispered in Pearl''s ears, "My sister has never listened to anyone''s opinions ever since


    childhood."


    As Victoria saw Ethan and Pearl chatting with each other, she smiled happily and whispered to her


    husband, "Look how good their rtionship is. We won''t have to worry about him anymore."


    While Katherine was having lunch, she nced at Ethan and Pearl out of the corners of her eyes. A


    trace of relief shed across her cold face.


    Pearl started to y a game of chess with Enrique after lunch.


    "Uncle Enrique, you must have gone easy on me. I only lost one." Pearl said.


    "I wouldn''t dare go easy on you. You have great chess skills. I was just lucky to win."


    Chess yers were always happy to meet rivals. Enrique then asked, "There aren''t many girls who


    love ying chess. Have you learned it since you were young?"


    "I learnt it from my father."


    "That''s wonderful."


    While they were talking, Ethan came down from upstairs, he got changed and was ready to go to the


    hospital, "Pearl, are you finished? Let''s go. I''ll go through the procedure for my new job."


    "We finished, I lost to Uncle Enrique." Pearl looked up at Ethan with a smile. "Where are Bonny and


    Brandon?" She then asked.


    "They''ve fallen asleep as they were tired after ying. My mother is with them. Let them stay here for a


    few days."


    Pearl hesitated, "Would that bother you too much? Bonny is too noisy."


    "It''s okay." Enrique said, "Your aunt has nothing to do at home. She always wanted the house to get


    lively. Feel free to let Brandon and Bonny stay here. She would be happy."


    Pearl smiled, "In that case, Uncle, I won''t refuse. I still have an operation this afternoon."


    After she left the Louise Mansion with Ethan, her heart was still full of warmth.


    Although she had always been the apple of her father''s eyes since she was a child, her mother passed


    away when Pearl was at a young age. Hence, she rarely felt warmth in her house as her father was


    busy at work.


    "You parents are really nice." Pearl said.


    Ethan yawned. "Yeah, they are indeed."


    "Then why don''t you live at home?"


    "There''s a demon in the house. I would stay home only if I have a death wish." Ethan rolled his eyes


    rudely. "You heard it too. She let me to resign and take care of the children. Why didn''t she think of


    asking me to give birth to one?"


    "Well, if that was possible, I think she may really suggest you to do that."


    "Pearl, you''re even standing on her side now, aren''t you?" Ethan nced at her with a look of


    dissatisfaction. "By the way, what did she give you just now?"


    "Oh, that''s right." Pearl took out the paper file that Katherine gave her. Two sets of keys came out from


    it.


    Pearl was stunned: "What is this?"


    "Holy crap..." Ethan picked up the string of keys in Pearl''s hand saying, "Could it be that she has taken


    a fancy to you? What''s the hell going on here?"


    "What?" Pearl was confused by his reaction.


    "Take a look." Ethan held the keys in each hand, "These are car keys. But this one, this are the keys for


    a vi in Yoreast Hills Garden."


    "What does it mean?"


    "You still don''t understand? Are you dumb? What did she say when she gave it to you?"


    Suddenly, Pearl returned to her senses.


    When Katherine handed her the keys, she said expressionlessly, "Consider this a meeting gift."This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
