Billy and Sophie chatted with Darren’s mother for a few more minutes, and Sophie couldn’t help herself and kept squinting at Billy.
Billy, not knowing what Sophie meant, coughed dryly and said with a smile on his face towards Darren’s mother, “Well, by the way, apart from visiting Mrs. Kirkland, we have one more thing to discuss with you this time.”
“If Mr. Owen has something to say, just say it.” Darren’s mother replied.
“Oh, then I won’t be out of the way.” Billy paused and then said, “I heard Lena’s mother say that you two discussed the engagement of the two children at first.”
Billy’s eyes were looking straight at Talia at this point, and he couldn’t help but have a hint of anticipation.
“Well, there is such a thing.” Talia said without skipping a beat.
Sophie subconsciously raised her head slightly upward, looking at Billy, eyes hidden full of smugness, as if to say: see, this is what I have made possible, to find you a son-in-law with such strong strength, nothing to steal the joy.
Billy’s eyes also flashed a brilliant light, the smile on his face even more, the corners of his mouth all at once smiled below the ears: “Yes, yes, we came precisely for this matter, you see Darren and our family Lena age are not young, this marriage I mean … ”
Billy stopped here, he said it was obvious, I believe Talia will be able to understand what I mean.
Talia’s face showed a look of difficulty, holding the cup of tea in her hand, thinking slightly.
Seeing Talia’s reaction, Billy smiled and relieved the situation: “Of course, if you want Darren to put his career first, we have no objection, we can get engaged first, and it will also solve our heart.”
Talia heart heard the housekeeper informed the two people came, the heart will guess the purpose of the two people this trip, the heart has long been ready to say.
Talia face with a trace of helplessness towards the two said: “to say it is really embarrassing, because Darren’s wedding, I am also worried about, until and Sophie said after ah, I only slightly put down the heart.”
Billy and Sophie heard this, the smile on their faces can not mention how beautiful, thinking of their good daughter was born beautiful and moving, the heart is a burst of pride.
Talia looked at the two pause, with a sobbing voice then said: “Later I mentioned this to Darren, who knew he was furious, saying what his own wedding he decided, do not want me to care. Whoever agrees to this, who will get married then. Hey, Sophie, I’m sorry about this. Now that my son is older, he won’t even listen to me as a mother.
When the two heard what Talia said, the smiles on their faces froze for a moment.
Billy’s expression is more embarrassed, he originally did not intend to come, listen to Sophie said just about set the date, he agreed to come down, did not expect to come after such a thing, he immediately feel their own old face to be lost.
Sophie’s heart is a little angry, this is the first time but she agreed with herself ah, now reneged on what is the meaning!
The first time I saw her, she said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I think Darren might have been a little upset when he found out.”
Billy glared at Sophie, then said towards Talia, “Mrs. Kirkland, I have some business to attend to at the office, so I’ll leave now.”
He has no face to stay here, he proposed for his daughter’s marriage was rejected, the word will not be laughed at?
Sophie at this time is also to Talia greeted, resentful to follow Billy left.
“Hmm? What did I say! No come no come, people the Kirkland family how will good reason to let this good thing fall on your head, you just do not listen, how? Now that you’re here, are you satisfied? What a disgrace!” As soon as he left the Kirkland manor’s door, Billy complained towards Sophie.
“Why are you blaming me now? Why did you go earlier? You were so happy when I said that? If you have the ability, you can talk to Mrs. Kirkland, why are you angry at me?” Sophie’s heart is also very dissatisfied, looking at her husband who is angry at herself, her heart is also a burst of displeasure.
“Humph! I’m telling you, don’t do this kind of thing to me again! The Owen family’s face will sooner or later be lost to you!” Billy became furious and yelled at his wife.
“Am I ashamed of myself? You heard what Mrs. Kirkland said just now, she agreed, but now she’s backtracked, can you blame me?” Sophie also said in an exasperated voice.
“Humph!” Billy watched his wife forcefully suppress his inner rage, flung his sleeves and took the lead in leaving.
Darren took Catherine and her group on a nearly two-hour drive and finally arrived at their destination, where Darren opened the car door and helped Catherine out.
Catherine just got out of the car and breathed in the fresh air outside, surrounded by mountains on three sides and green everywhere, the air is naturally much better than in the city.
“Wow! This place is really as beautiful as Jas said.” Sara exclaimed as soon as she stepped out of the car.
“Humph!” Jasper couldn’t help but grunt when he heard Sara call out to Jas, but didn’t take it too seriously as he too was captivated by the view in front of him.
In front of you can see a wooden pagoda with the name of this small village written on it, while behind it hides infinite greenery, the road also emits a faint smell of earth, and the tender green grass lazily enjoys the sunshine under the trees.
Everywhere you go there are three or two wildflowers in bloom that can’t be named, although not as enchanting as roses or peonies, but with a faint elegance that is pleasing to the eye.
“Your mother’s house should be not far ahead, let’s walk there.” Darren said softly as he looked at Catherine, whose smiling eyes were arched.
In fact, this is not a relaxation for him, he usually take care of a group of business alone, physically and mentally exhausted, although occasionally with a few good friends to go to have fun, but than the city’s flowers and wine, Darren prefer the simplicity of this place.
Darren took Catherine’s delicate hand and took a leisurely step, while Sara and Jasper followed closely behind with a word or two to accompany their mouths.
Several people at this time walked on top of a stone bridge, it is not known when it was built, Darren estimated how to say that there are dozens of years.
The entire stone bridge is actually made up of several pieces of marble pieced together, there is naturally no handrail or anything on either side, so Darren’s grip on Catherine’s hand can’t help but tighten a bit.
