Chapter 1955
Chapter 1955
At night, in the Chin's Mansion...
Tonight there was a family gathering. In addition to members of the Chin family, the family members of Wilson's uncle and aunt would also come.
In the brightly-illuminated kitchen, Tina stood in front of the stove wearing an apron. Every time she came over here to have dinner, she would take the initiative to cook one or two dishes to show her filial piety.
Seeing how virtuous her daughter-in-law was, Meadow was very delighted. She joined Tina in cooking the dishes.
According to Tina's instructions, Meadow finally was able to finish the stir-fried potato chips.
Bellamy was the first one to try the dish cooked by his wife. He gave a pertinent comment. "Not bad..."
Meadow pursed her lips.
Isla, who was wearing a princess-style dress, tried the stir-fried potato chips and said. "Grandma, it's so... delicious!"
Meadow burst into laughter for the good comment from her dear granddaughter.
Looking at the lovely little girl running around the dining table, Meadow's eyes were full of love. She couldn't help but say, "Tina, you and Wilson have just got married. Why don't you consider having a second child?"
Upon hearing this, Bellamy echoed. "It's true. It would be wonderful if we have two kids at home."
After a man and a woman got married, it would be natural for their parents to urge them to have a child.
What a pity! It was still unsuitable for the two of them to have a child for the time being.
Wilson had never mentioned to his parents what had happened to him in Lonton City. He used to go to New City for drug addiction treatment, and at that time he simply told his parents that he went there for a business trip. He didn't want them to worry about him.
Tina smiled and said softly, "Mom and Dad, we're not in a hurry to have a second child. We want to wait another year."
Meadow respected the free choice of her son and daughter-in-law, "There's no rush. You make your own decision!"
Tina smiled.
After the last dish was placed on the table, the sound of footsteps came from the hallway. Two middle-aged man and woman came into the living room.
Seeing that there were only the two of them arriving, Tina asked in surprise, "Auntie, why isn't Desmond coming?"
Desmond's mother smiled so heartily that her eyes were almost closed. "He was going on a blind date!"
Tina was amazed. "Ah?"
It wasn't Desmond's first blind date.
But for the first time in his life, he experienced a video blind date.
Then...
Then the marriage was settled.
Desmond's grandfather, Old Master Hector Borbon, was a resolute and overbearing person. As the elders of the Chin family had passed away long ago, Hector was Desmond's only grandfather. For this reason, everyone respected this old man very much, and attached great importance to every decision made by him.
Old Master Borbon used to work in the rural area when he was a young man. At that time, he became the good friend of a colleague called Daniel Chadwick, who came from a city located in the southern part of the country. Later, Hector returned to the city, while Daniel chose to stay in the countryside to work as a constructor. Their friendship had lasted for many years.
Before Daniel died of illness, he made a phone call to Old Master Borbon.
Through this phone call, Daniel entrusted his granddaughter to Old Master Borbon.
Daniel originally wished that Old Master Borbon would take care of his granddaughter just like his own. However, Old Master Borbon felt that this was a chance-in-a-million to solve his dear grandson, Desmond's marriage problem.
"It would be better for Daniel's granddaughter to become Desmond's wife!" The Old Master thought.
Last month, Old Master Borbon was diagnosed with medium-stage liver cancer after going through a physical examination. When the Old Master proposed to his grandson that he should become the husband of Daniel Chadwick's granddaughter, Desmond found it difficult to refuse.
For this reason, before Desmond could find a better solution, the marriage arrangement was determined decisively.
Today, Desmond came over to the rural area to pick up a country woman... No, to pick up his future wife.
Through his black sunglasses, Desmond looked at the bumpy road of yellow muds. He then furrowed his brows.
The concrete road leading to the countryside had been crushed by passing trucks that were generally too heavily loaded. For this reason, Desmond had to choose the muddy road.
He was glad that he was not driving his fancy sports car today. Otherwise, the automotive chassis might easily be broken by boulders scattered on the muddy road. He was driving a magma-colored Jeep Wrangler today.
Although the Jeep Wrangler was not as chic as the fancy sports car in its appearance, Desmond had indeed refitted it thoroughly. The refitting cost was over twice the original price of the Jeep Wrangler.
After driving along the muddy road for a long time, Desmond turned the car into a small village.
As soon as the car entered the village, a shepherd drove a herd of sheep past the car.
Desmond watched helplessly as the wheels of his car rolled onto the sheep manure. His heart ached so much that the corners of his eyes twitched.
"Alas... My limited-version Dunlop tyres!" He thought wretchedly.
Putting down the car window, Desmond asked a passerby near him, "Excuse me, where's Mia Chadwick's home?"
The passerby was obviously very familiar with Mia. He smiled and pointed to Desmond. "Mia Chadwick... The second house of that lane in the eastern corner!"
Desmond thanked him and drove the car over there.
The door of that house was closed. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Desmond knocked lightly on the door, yet no one replied to him. He then gently pushed the door, and it was opened because it had not been locked up.
Today, Desmond was also wearing a low-key, dark gray suit. He was not wearing a shirt beneath the suit, but a black low and round-collared T-shirt, with his collarbones being revealed. However, he had dyed his hair into yellow color and curled them again, which was a sharp contrast to his low- key dressing style and made him look bizarre and even coquettish in the countryside.
Just as Desmond was about to step into the courtyard, seven large and white geese suddenly surged out of the fence. Flapping their wings, these geese charged at Desmond.
He was petrified.
Desmond had been grown up in a rich and powerful family. He had only seen top-class goose livers on the dining table, yet he had never seen large geese trying to attack him!
When Desmond was busy dodging the fierce geese, a slender figure walked out of the house.
The big and white geese immediately became mild when they saw their master. Then, they obediently retreated to both sides, as if they wanted to make way for him. Desmond was stunned by this new change.
He asked, "Mia Chadwick?"
The girl who came out of the house was very young, about 20 years old. Her long hair was tucked behind her ears, and she was wearing a suit of white and short-sleeved jeans, as well as a pair of white shoes. Her skin was fair and white.
The girl nodded with a smile. "It's me."
Desmond looked into her eyes and was momentarily stunned. He then raised his brows and said, "Uh-huh... I'm Desmond!"
Who could have imagined that Desmond and Mia would get married after seeing each other only twice?
The first time they saw each other was through a video call.
Mia was indeed much more beautiful than she was in the video call.
At that time, under Old Master Borbon's serious supervision, Desmond was out of choice but to talk to Mia modestly. He was sitting in the living room which was well-illuminated. It seemed as if Mia's house went through a power suspension when she talked to Desmond. The place where she was sitting was illuminated only with dim candlelight. It was quite difficult for Desmond to see Mia's face clearly.
What's more, Desmond's attitude was perfunctory. In fact, he didn't take it seriously at all.
Who would have thought that Desmond would be forced into the grave of marriage in such a manner?
It was only then that Desmond saw Mia's face clearly. She was not as vulgar as many other country women were. Her facial features were delicate and pretty, while her lips were red and healthy. Desmond was in charge of E Entertainment and M Entertainment, two subsidiaries of the Chin's Group. He had seen a great many beautiful girls throughout his career life, but very few of the aforesaid girls were as charming and graceful as Mia was.
When Mia smiled, others would feel comfortable. Her smile was warm and innocent.
"Well... She's a tender and lovely girl." Desmond thought.
Mia nodded. "I know you're Desmond."
It was normal for Desmond's special dressing style and impressive appearance to be remembered by others. Desmond flicked the hair on his forehead. "I'm here to pick you up. Have you packed up your luggage?"
"Not yet..." Mia shook her head innocently. "I hadn't expected that you would come so early!"
Desmond was speechless. "..."
"Am I to be blamed for it?" He thought.
Mia said, "Wait a minute. I'll be ready soon!"
Desmond reluctantly replied, "Alright."
Mia asked Desmond to sit down on the sofa in the living room and wait for her. She then ran back to the bedroom hastily, pulled out the suitcase from the cabinet, and began to pack up her personal belongings.
After the suitcase was locked up, her mobile phone rang.
Mia looked at the caller's ID and picked it up. A girl's voice could be heard faintly. "Mia, I'm still in the hospital in the town to take care of my auntie. I can't go back to see you off!"
Mia comforted her and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll see you when you go to the city next month!"
"Okay!" The girl nodded. Her name was Lyle Maberry.
Mia was silent for a short while.
Then, she sighed tenderly, feeling a little disappointed. "Lyle, he didn't remember me."
