Hanging up the phone, Neal Williams and Andrea Jones said, “I don’t know what this Garret Miller guy is up to, I think, he’s not going to take this gift.”
After pinching the red book and showing off, Neal Williams really put his mind at rest. Andrea Jones had a nice talk with her parents at the cemetery and came back to the city a few hours later. Neal Williams has booked a table for a romantic candlelit dinner for just two people. He had even thought about where to propose. Even the ring was in his pocket – it was two years too late to give it to her, and now he could finally wear it on her hand with a straight face.
However, the call came just as we entered the city.
His phone was in Andrea Jones’ hand, and Andrea Jones looked at the screen, “It’s Uncle Jiang.”
Neal Williams put his headset on and picked up, “Dad.”
“How’s that? All done?” Beck Williams asked from over there.
“Hmm.” Neal Williams glanced at Andrea Jones and reached out to shake her hand, “Got your card already.”
“That’s good. Go back to the old house tonight, bring the clothes you need to change too, and stay here tonight.”
“Tonight?”
“Now that the cards are taken, it is difficult not to bring Andrea back first and give everyone a formal meeting? Besides, there is also a change of mouth tea these are to drink. You let Andrea have a psychological preparation, these are sooner or later after marriage to face.”
“Okay, I got it.” Neal Williams nodded.
Andrea Jones could also hear something vaguely over here, probably back at the old house, and then there was mention of her. When Neal Williams hung up the phone, she asked, “What’s up?”
“I have to go back to the old house tonight, I’m meeting all the elders and descendants of the family.” Neal Williams gave her hand a reassuring shake, “Nervous? I thought this day was coming, so it’s good to meet early so I don’t have to worry about it all the time. I’m here, Bonnie Williams and Klein Williams will be there, so don’t be so nervous.”
Speaking of them, Andrea Jones was really relieved. With all the peers present and familiar, it’s not so confusing. Thinking about Klein Williams, Andrea Jones felt sorry for him. When she left, she didn’t mention it to him, so she just left. At the time, she was intentionally trying to distance herself from the Williams family.
Neal Williams was sitting in the lobby in a casual shirt and trench coat, waiting patiently for her to finish tossing herself.
A moment later, Andrea Jones carried all the clothes from the closet into the hall and scattered them all over the sofa.
“Why don’t you help me out too, which set is more appropriate?” Seeing Neal Williams sitting there leisurely, she was really jealous.
Neal Williams laughed helplessly, “In my opinion, you look good in anything. Here, just this one, the orange one is quite flattering to your skin tone.”
“No good, the skirt is too short for the old man.” She is now married to Neal Williams at the risk of the world, it is considered an official first meeting, always to leave a good impression.
“What about this one? The skirt is long, right?” Neal Williams picked out another black silk gown for her.
“No.” I didn’t expect her to veto it again, “Black is too heavy, look at people’s heart sullen, if the mood is bad, see me wearing this, the mood will only be worse.”
Neal Williams was really impressed with her, since she didn’t like the color, why did she buy it in the first place?
Only, in later years, a long time he realized that the original woman, a creature that is consistently heartfelt.
“Don’t get hung up on it, just wear this one.” Neal Williams handed her a mint green dress, “Not only is this not boring, it looks generous. You were the one who said you wanted to meet them in style, remember?”
“Who knew it would be so soon?” Andrea Jones took him at his word, changed her dress, and got a change of clothes and pajamas for both of them before hurrying out the door to the old house.
By the time we got to the old house, it was already dinner time. Once inside, almost everyone from the Williams family was there. The room was filled with people and the atmosphere was so serious that Andrea Jones was a little breathless. She subconsciously squeezed Neal Williams’ hand, and Neal Williams pulled her a little closer.
Bonnie Williams sat at the end of the table with Ingram Gray and greeted her quietly. Across from her was Klein Williams, who hadn’t seen her in a while, but the familiarity between them hadn’t faded with time. He just gave her an encouraging look, signaling her to put her mind at ease.
It was a dream of Neal Williams to introduce her brightly to the entire audience, and now it came true. Hearing her soft voice call her grandparents still feels unreal to him.
“Here, you two, kneel here for a moment.” The words of his aunt Shirley Jones pulled his thoughts back. The maid had already spread a futon in front of the two, “First, offer tea to your grandparents.”
Shirley Jones told them, and immediately afterwards, the maid brought over tea.
Beck Williams said, “This tea is drunk, grandparents are even recognized this granddaughter-in-law, Andrea is our the Williams family people.”
Christina Sanchez sat on the sidelines, her face still not looking so good, but not daring to say a word.
Grandson toasted the tea, the old man and the old lady drank. This side, Andrea Jones also follow the example of Neal Williams tea, the two old man is a little uncomfortable, after all, this tea to drink, not only to recognize the daughter-in-law, but also the past mistakes together to admit.
The old man coughed, glanced at Andrea Jones, and tilted his head to drink. The old lady naturally also. andrea jones long sigh of relief, then smiled, rushed the two old man said: “thank you grandparents.”
The smile, Yuan Yuan’s, was very sincere. The old lady didn’t dislike it, but the boy was differentfrom Penny Brown, who was much more arrogant and offered tea, but was not so happy about it, of course, because she was upset that Neal Williams hadn’t given her face at first.
It’s rare that so many people have made things difficult for Andrea Jones for so long, and now that she’s in the Williams family, she can really let go of the knot.
“Okay, go over there again. The new daughter-in-law is going to change her name and has to call her mom and dad.” Shirley Jones dominates the flow.
Neal Williams toasted tea is naturally a trip to the water to do it, this side of Andrea Jones in full view of the change of mouth more or less shy, but also a good boy called. Beck Williams laughs aloud, the tea to drink. Christina Sanchez looked at Andrea Jones, listen to her called a She didn’t respond, but she took the tea anyway. She took a sip and said, “Tea is drunk, and this daughter-in-law is admitted, but don’t blame me for not saying the words up front.”
Beck Williams frowned, Christina Sanchez saw his face, so she softened her tone, “I want grandchildren anyway, no, grandchildren are good, anyway, you just have to give me a baby! If you have a baby, you can do anything!”
Beck Williams said, “The kids are young and plan for these things on their own. You just don’t worry so much about the empty space.”
“Where’s the youthfulness?” Christina Sanchez grunted, not daring to retort too loudly, but just holding her eyes to Andrea Jones with a look that clearly said ‘want kids’, ‘want kids’! She was already looking forward to her grandchildren who had not come for a long time. She was so anxious to have a new daughter-in-law that she would not be able to have a baby again. In fact, her heart is now regretful. If she had known that Neal and Andrea Jones would still be married, she should not have said that she didn’t want the grandchild when Andrea Jones was pregnant with the child. Sometimes, she really fears that there is retribution.
In case the kids really don’t come …
Blah blah blah! Nonsense!
Christina Sanchez was taken aback by her own thoughts and thought to herself that she would have to start giving Andrea Jones a tonic, having lost her last child so badly.
Beck Williams only helped Andrea Jones up from the floor, “Okay, there’s all the etiquette, get up.”
“Thanks, Dad.” It’s not the first time she’s called, and Andrea Jones has been a little more generous. The company’s first ever business is the company’s own business. It is like seeing the unfulfilled dream of his past. In this life, his heart’s regret is planted in this way, and can no longer be changed. However, the good thing is that the children are different from him.
Neal Williams listened to Andrea Jones call her mom, dad and grandparents, and was particularly satisfied. Neal Williams sat down, took Andrea Jones in his arms and spoke to the crowd, “I want to talk to you about the wedding.”
Wedding?
Andrea Jones looked at him sideways in surprise. He hadn’t really mentioned the wedding to himself. I thought the wedding would not be on the agenda because I’ve been so busy lately, but I didn’t expect him to be thinking about it for a long time.
Andrea Jones raised her lips in a smile and tucked her hand into his palm. She should have known that this man would never leave anything out for her.
“A wedding?” The first one to speak up was Christina Sanchez, “You just divorced Penny and you’re throwing a wedding out in the open, afraid that the Ruan family won’t come and make a fuss?”
Shirley Jones also nodded, “Yes, Steve Brown is already angry enough, if the wedding is held now, it is the equivalent of slapping him in the face, that is to pull his face.”
“What’s the point of pulling faces? Andrea’s parents are gone, and everyone sitting here now are her elders and family, so if you were you, you would let your daughter suffer this kind of indignity?” Beck Williams clearly disagreed with their words and his eyes fell on Shirley Jones, “You’re willing to put Ashley Williams through this?”
Shirley Jones grunted, “Our youngest is not even eight yet.”
“This wedding is definitely to do, Andrea is so hard to get together with Neal, of course such good news is to give everyone to share together.” Bonnie Williams said, “Let’s say the Ruan family side, at first it was Steve Brown himself who put forward the conditions, and had to let Neal marry his daughter. Now this slap in the face he should have thought of long ago.”
“What to say na, everyone is a dignified person, how embarrassing to meet in the future.” Christina Sanchez does not agree with her daughter’s words.
Bonnie Williams didn’t think so, “Mom, you’re not naive enough to think that not having a wedding won’t be awkward, are you? This knot between the Ruan family and the Williams family is already a dead end.”
