Chapter 5 You Know Each Other?

At this time, the door opened from outside. It was Professor Wes who had returned. Professor Wes changed his shoes and entered the kitchen. He did not notice what was happening in the living room. Adele was shocked. After talking for so long, she forgot to remind Damon. "Mr. Yusuf, I..." Adele leaned closer to Damon and whispered. Looking into Damon's cold eyes, Adele suddenly realized that she had called the wrong name, but now she still couldn't bring herself to call her boss by his first name. Therefore, she had to pretend that she didn't notice it and continued, "I haven't told my parents about the marriage certificate between us." Hearing this, Damon didn't change his expression at all. He just nodded slightly to show that he got it. "And..." Adele continued, but Professor Wes appeared behind her and interrupted her. "Adele! We have a guest?" His deep voice scared her so much that she trembled instantly. Adele turned around and was about to childishly complain to her father, but just then she remembered Damon's presence. She faked a smile and said to Professor Wes, "Dad, you're back! You've had a busy day." Then, she walked to Professor Wes and took the briefcase from his hand. Just as Adele was about to introduce Damon to her father, Professor Wes walked past Adele and walked straight towards Damon. "Damon? Why are you here?" Damon stood up, lowered his head slightly at Professor Wes, and called out to him, "Professor Wes." Compared to Professor Wes' excitement, Damon was always calm and collected. It was as if nothing could stir up any waves in his heart. Professor Wes pulled Damon to sit down and then said to Adele without raising his head, "Hurry up and take out my Tieguanyin." 'This... Do you know each other?' Adele was a little confused by the situation in front of her. It could be seen that her father looked like he had reunited with his old friend. She obviously could not interrupt him. She could only obediently go and take the Tieguanyin that Professor Wes had secretly hidden. Then she went to the kitchen to make tea. "Mom, Dad seems to know Yu... Damon." Although Damon's first name was not hard to pronounce, Adele could not adapt for a while. Ms. Henderson was gutting shrimps. Hearing her daughter's words, she stopped what she was doing and looked at the door. She saw Professor Wes' happy look. "Looks like they do know each other," Ms. Henderson muttered as she turned back. She did not tell Professor Wes about the blind date that she had arranged for their daughter beforehand. Upon his return, she told him that the blind date partner of their daughter had come for a visit, only to get scolded by him. Who could expect that they already knew each other? Thinking of this, the smile on Ms. Henderson's face grew wider. The more she looked at Damon, the more she liked him. Steady, calm. A person like him was the best candidate for her daughter. Ms. Henderson flew up happily, humming a tune to herself, completely ignoring Adele's blank expression. Adele had no choice but to bring the brewed tea to the living room. Professor Wes pulled Damon to talk about some academic issues. Adele, who was beside him, could not understand it at all. She could only awkwardly act as a pendulum. Professor Wes spoke happily and actually brought Damon into the study. When the door closed, nothing could be heard. Adele pouted and had to go to the kitchen to help out. About half an hour later, the food was served. When everything was ready, Adele knocked on the door of the study room and asked the people inside to come out for dinner. Wes family's dinner table was round. Usually, everyone sat happily together in harmony. But today, the atmosphere was a little...weird. Probably because of Damon's aura, this dinner tonight became a high-class one. Adele, who was sitting at the side, could not help but straighten her back and place her hands on her legs. Only then did Professor Wes think of introducing Damon. " My dear wife, my darling Adele, Damon is the student I had mentioned to you, the one I am most proud of." Adele looked at Damon in shock. He was actually the student that his father often talked about! The one who got first place in everything at school! Adele immediately thought of Damon as a god in her heart. When Ms. Henderson heard this news, she was even happier. She originally wanted to pick up a piece of food for Damon, but when she saw that Damon was cold, unruly, and his eyes were heavy and emotionless, she immediately felt a little restrained and had no intention to continue. "Eat, eat as much as you like," Ms. Henderson said to Damon with a smile. Hearing this, Damon nodded to Ms. Henderson and said in a faint voice, "Thank you." Then, he used his chopsticks in a relaxed and elegant manner. He was simply like a noble. This made Adele, who had always been unable to use chopsticks deftly, feel ashamed. To avoid embarrassing herself, Adele wanted to finish the soup first, so she got up and picked up the bowl. But at this moment, Ms. Henderson's sharp eyes saw the ring on Adele's finger. Ms. Henderson quickly looked at Damon's hand. Sure enough, she saw the same ring. "Adele, this ring of yours." Ms. Henderson grabbed Adele's hand and then looked back and forth between Adele and Damon. "You?" Being caught on the spot, Adele was like a chicken whose lifeline was being held, and her pleading eyes unconsciously looked at Damon. She saw Damon slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then slowly raise his head. "Professor Wes, Mrs. Wes, Adele and I have already registered our marriage," he said in a calm and solemn voice.
