Chapter 225: When Are You Planning to Get Married?
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert knew their son’s character well so they didn’t believe him when he said he had a girlfriend. Now that he had brought her back, they were very happy.
Although the Rivers residence was not as grandiose as the Gilbert residence, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert were not the stuck-up type who insisted that their son marry someone at their level or higher. As long as the girl’s family background was clean and she could control their son, preventing him from messing around outside, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert weren’t too fussy.
At the dining table, Calvin Gilbert put on a good show – he kept putting food onto her plate, especially her favorites. He even de-shelled the prawns and de-boned the fish for her.
When Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert noticed how well Calvin and Serenity got along with each other, the parents were filled with joy. Moreover, they could tell that Serenity had a good upbringing and an elegant temperament. The elders had a good impression of her.
After the meal, Mrs. Gilbert pulled Serenity aside to have a chat while Mr. Gilbert and Calvin Gilbert drank tea at another table. Mrs. Gilbert suddenly asked, “So when do you plan to get married?”
Calvin had expected such a question but Serenity hadn’t so she almost spat out a mouthful of tea.
Aren’t Calvin’s parents too anxious?
However, it shouldn’t come as a surprise too considering Calvin’s reputation. His parents were eager to put a stop to his shenanigans.
Serenity must have reacted a little too strongly because Mrs. Gilbert sensed the slight anxiety coming from the former. Awkwardly, Mrs. Gilbert said, “Serenity, although it’s a little rushed, there are many flash marriages nowadays. If you marry into our family, we will definitely not treat you badly.”
She could see how much Mrs. Gilbert liked her. If Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert knew that her marriage with Calvin Gilbert was just a formality, they would probably be very sad.
Despite Mrs. Gilbert’s expectant gaze, Serenity kicked the ball to Calvin Gilbert. “I’ll go along with whatever Calvin decides.”
Considering how sensible her future daughter-in-law was, Mrs. Gilbert became even happier as she looked at her son and said, “Cal, what do you think?”
Calvin played with the fruit in his hand and did not object to her words. “After our parents meet, I’ll start preparing for the wedding.”
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert were overjoyed. Mrs. Xu was already planning to invite Benjamin Rivers and his wife for a meal one day to set the marriage of the children.
After leaving the Gilbert residence, Serenity heaved a sigh of relief. Calvin heard her and chuckled. “My parents are not ferocious beasts. Look at how scared you were.”
Serenity fastened her seatbelt. “That’s not it. I just felt that they were such nice people and feel sorry for them by lying to them like this.”
“Why? Are you regretting it now?” Calvin sneered.
Serenity held onto her seatbelt and did not speak for a long time, and Calvin noticed that she seemed to be a little shaken.
He smiled and said, “It’s not too late to regret now, but are you sure that your father won’t make you marry someone else who’s the same age as him in the future?”
After a moment of silence, she suddenly turned to look at him. “I won’t interfere with anything after we get married.”
It was just a marriage of convenience, so Calvin Gilbert did not want her to interfere in his private life. And since she had said so explicitly, he was happy too. “I’ll make it clear in advance that 1 won’t interfere in your matters either, but don’t make me a cuckold. If my parents find out, both of us will be finished.”
After sending Serenity back to the Rivers residence, Calvin Gilbert drove away. On the way back, he called John, “I brought her back to the Gilberts to meet my parents today.”
John was in the study dealing with work matters when his phone rang. He swiped it to pick up the call and placed the phone by his ear. After hearing Calvin’s words, his hand paused midway typing on the keyboard.. “And then?”
