The middle-aged man smiled as he walked over, “Would both of you be Mr. Qin and Madam Lo?”
Yannick Qin replied politely, “Yes we are. And you would be…?”
“I am Karmier He, father of Quinn He. This is my wife, Roi Lin. I am very sorry for not giving any notice beforehand.”
Yannick Qin’s voice turned cold even though his face did not reveal his emotion, “How do you know that we will be back at this hour?”
“We don’t. From the day before yesterday onwards, my wife and I come over every morning and stayed to the evening at seven.”
Yannick and Monismith looked at each other for a moment, and Yannick opened the door, “Come on in.”
After both pairs of parents had taken their seat, Yaffe served tea for them.
Both Karmier He’s and Roi Lin’s mannerism and etiquette are very good. One look and one will be able to determine that they have grown up and immersed for a long time in a very cultured and civilized environment.
Roi Lin smiled, “I believe both of you are aware that Quinn and Yaffe just got married. We feel that a marriage should not be taken lightly, so we came un-invited. Hopefully, both of you would not laugh at us.”
Monismith replied bluntly, “We disagree to this marriage.”
“Relax,” Roi Lin gently said. “I understand why both of you are against this marriage. You are afraid that our family will mistreat Yaffe after the marriage. Am I right?”
Monismith shrugged non-committedly.
“Yaffe has done our family a great favor. Why would we even be willing to mistreat her?”
“A great favor?” Monismith looked puzzled.
Yannick got curious too.
Karmier continued, “Yes. These were the private matters of our family and should be kept confidential. But since we are considered a family now, there are no such restrictions. I believe you have heard the news that my eldest son and his wife died in a car accident five years ago.”
Yannick and Monismith both nodded their head.
“At that very moment, my daughter-in-law was about to give birth. My son, Johnnian, in a bid to protect his wife and his unborn son, turned the steering wheel at the last moment and resulted in his own instant death. My daughter-in-law was badly injured and dying. At that moment, Yaffe happened to pass by the scene and helped to deliver the baby, hence saving the baby’s life.”
Yannick and Monismith didn’t expect to hear such a story.
Roi smiled tearfully, “To protect the baby and raise him healthily, the baby was fostered by Quinn. Since then, people think that Wiphy is Quinn’s son. I can understand both of your concerns. In actual fact, Quinn had never been married before. This is the first marriage for both Quinn and Yaffe. But for the sake of Wiphy, we will not clarify his identity in near future. He will continue to take the identity of Quinn’s son. In addition, you won’t have to worry that Wiphy will be mistreat Yaffe. Something happened to Wiphy previously and resulted in some depression tendency. He does not allow anyone to go near him except for Quinn. Not even me and my husband. But Wiphy accepted Yaffe, so this is a very good sign.”
Yaffe looked at Karmier and Roi, and thought to herself: For two such civilized people, how did they get such a willful son like Quinn.
After Monismith heard this, she said, “The sincerity and intention of both of you are well noted. Since both of our children chose to get married, we have no intention to obstruct it as parents. For all intents and purpose, this marriage is just too hasty.”
“The marriage registration is indeed hasty, but the marriage ceremony will require both families to sit down together and plan it out properly. Please rest assured that our family will definitely not mistreat Yaffe.” Karmier laughed.
Four of them discussed for a long time, before Karmier and Roi left.
Yaffe sent both of them to the door, and wanted to secretly leave with them. But she stopped after noticing her mother’s stare.
Yannick looked at his daughter who had taken her seat in front of him, “I have heard your mother’s opinion and Quinn’s parents’ opinion of the story. Now I want to hear what you have to say.”
Yaffe looked at her father seriously and said, “Mom and Dad, I am married to Quinn.”
“Fine. Since you put it that way your mother and I will not say anything else. In the future, we will help you to whatever extent we can. You can stick to the marriage as long as you’re happy, or, you can also choose to come back when you don’t want it in this marriage.”
Yaffe turned tearful and hugged her parents. “I’m so sorry for making you worried,” she sobbed.
Yannick patted her back, “I believe that you have the ability to lead a happy life under any circumstances.”
“I will not make myself sad.”
“Good.”
**
After crying in the chests of her parents, Yaffe felt that the suppressed emotions accumulated in the past few days had pretty much dissipated. She walked back to her room with teary eyes to wash up.
Lying on her bed, she found that there are unread messages.
They are from Quinn.
Quinn: I have resolved the issue with the posts. Relax and be my bride.
Yaffe held her phone for a long time before typing a sentence, “What a life are we going to lead in the future?”
The moment Yaffe sent out the message, Quinn called back.
Yaffe picked up the phone but did not hear Quinn’s voice. Instead, she heard solid footsteps and some faint background sound.
Yaffe held her breath and waited.
Until the phone on the other side became quiet, Quinn’s magnetic and lazy voice can be heard, “Whatever kind of life you want to live.”
“Really?” asked Yaffe uncertainly.
“Of course. If you are concerned that we might get divorced in the future, I can tell you clearly. If you are with me, the chances of you getting divorced are much lower than normal men. At least no one in our family has ever divorced, and I have no intention of breaking this great tradition for now.”
“So you are telling me in a round-about way that I will be with you for the rest of my life?”
Quinn chuckled, “Isn’t that good?”
Yaffe listened to Quinn’s nice laugh, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
“Go to bed,” Quinn said.
“Ok,” replied Yaffe.
Neither of them hung up the phone, just quietly listening to the other party’s breathing.
Yaffe swallowed to clear her dry throat, “What are you doing?”
“Working,” Quinn paused and added. “To get rid of a few women who are trying to be a third party in our marriage in the future.”
Yaffe turned silent for a moment, “Are you showing off to me?”
“What is there to show off about? A successful man is not about how many women he had slept with, but about a woman who is willing to sleep with him for a lifetime.”
Yaffe’s hung up the phone in reply. She can’t be bothered with this idiot and his idiotic words.
**
Yaffe had been hiding from the rumors like an ostrich for the past few days, and had not been to work.
After Karmier and Roi had visited them at their home, she is finally able to relax.
She had never been a person who is afraid to face difficulties and rumors, but this matter is beyond what she can handle. And she did not cause these issues.
In essence, she had been in a passive position on this matter.
Now that she is aware that both her parents and Quinn’s parents are supportive of their marriage and relationship, and Quinn had showed his attitude, she is no longer afraid or anxious.
