Chapter 14
Penny and Edward's parents were in the living room, waiting for Natasha and Edward. There were also guests coming.
Maxine took out the gifts she had carefully prepared for a long time, to be able to have a good first impression.
"Mr. and Mrs. Busch, this is a gift I brought with me. I have prepared these for a long time. See if you like them."
In addition, Maxine spent a lot of money and dragged a lot of relationships to buy a limited edition bag, which Jake's mother would definitely like.
Penny took Maxine's gift and looked at her wearing a blue dress. She was very impressed with her, especially because she felt that she was clever.
She had always heard that Jake had a girlfriend before, so that time, she could finally see her. As long as Jake liked her, he could continue it if she was not too out of line.
After giving her gifts, Maxine sat beside Jake cleverly.
"Jake, I hope that I didn't embarrass you." Maxine said, hoping that Jake would praise her.
Hearing Maxine talked to him, Jake came to his senses.
"Well, it's quite good."
Looking at Jake's absent-minded appearance, Maxine noticed that he was not very happy. "Jake has been acting like this these days." She thought to herself.
She then asked him if there was anything wrong, but he didn't answer her.
But at the thought of coming to their house and meeting Jake's grandparents, Maxine felt that she was now certified as Jake's girlfriend in their eyes, and she was getting closer and closer to Jake. Instantly, she felt that her unhappiness at that moment had disappeared.
As soon as Edward entered the living room, he saw that there were outsiders in the living room. With that, his face turned dark instantly. "Why are there other people?" He asked himself.
Both his parents looked at Edward who was accompanied by Sam, and his heart thumped. What happened?
"Edward, why did you come here alone? What about Natasha? Didn't you say that you would come here together?"
"She answered her phone and was outside. She will come in a moment."
Hearing their son's words, Edward's parents were relieved.
"Mom, I'm a little tired. I'll go to my room first."
"All right, go to your room and rest. The doctor will come later. He will check you there again."
Penny always felt that her heart was not at ease at all, but she caught up with it. Her son had to solve the disaster himself.
Natasha received a phone call from her brother so she answered it outside.
"Elder sister, you haven't been home for a long time. When will you go home and see me? Where are you now? I haven't seen you for a long time."
"I'm outside now. I will go back in a few days."
Natasha didn't want to go back to their house at all, and there was nothing to miss there. When she decided to marry Edward for profit, her heart was full of disappointment for her family.
"Sister, you said last time that you would come back to see me. It had been a long time."
"Last time, when I didn't go back, what did mom say?" For the topic, Natasha had to ask, that was a problem that she must solve.
"When you didn't go back, Mom didn't call you, but she was very worried about you. Come home and have a look."
Her brother was concerned about her and she knew it, but it was also a fact that he was eccentric to his mother. She thought she could refuse firmly, but when she heard her brother say that her mother was worried about her, Natasha became soft-hearted.
"I'm outside now so let's talk about it when I get back."
"Okay, sister, I will wait for you to come back."
Hanging up the phone, Natasha sighed. She didn't know if it was right or wrong to go back.
