Mysterious Mr.Richard

See My Parents

They then left the airport and took a taxi. Pearl asked him about the beauty just now.

Ethan said casually, "We met on the plane. She sat right next to me."

"Don't you already have a girlfriend already? Why are you flirting with other girls?"

"Girlfriend? Which one?"

Pearl was speechless. "Alina. You told me on phone."

"Ah she...Well, we broke up."

"Again?" Pearl was surprised. "If I remember it correctly, you told she became your girlfriend just three

days ago. Why did you break up this time?"

"I have said that I can't accept long-distance relationships."

Well, it made some sense. Ethan indeed wouldn't return to Maniville for a while. This was actually a

country-level long-distance relationship.

However, his words that could only fool little girls. Pearl'd already seen through Ethan since a long time

ago. Even if they weren't in a long-distance relationship, he could make up plenty of reasons for a

breakup. He always wanted to try new ones.

Pearl did not ask any more about it. She didn't want his lifestyle to influence her children.

"By the way, can I just wear this to your home? Would it be too casual?" Pearl asked.

Today after work, she didn't even have time to change her clothes as she went straight to the airport.

So she was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans.

Ethan glanced at her casually and said, "What are you afraid of? Ugly daughters-in-law also have to

meet the in-laws too. I promise you that even if you are only wearing a potato sack, my mom will still

like you."

Pearl rolled her eyes at him. But she still felt a bit nervous.

Bonny was tired of playing with Ethan. So she left him behind and went to watch Brandon play mobile

games.

Ethan teased, "So heartless." Then he patted Pearl on the shoulder. "Alright, don't be nervous

anymore. My families are all kind and nice. They will be overjoyed at the fact that I brought back such a

pretty and capable daughter-in-law."

"Are you really not going to explain it to your parents?" Pearl asked.

"Why do so? Our marriage is a fact. It's written in black and white; we even went through official

procedure in Maniville. What's the use of denying it?"

When Pearl first arrived in Maniville seven years ago, she was pregnant with her children. Luckily, she

met Ethan, and they even became really good friends. Later, for helping her take care of her children,

Ethan took her to register their marriage.

This was something that would never have happened had it been anyone else. It just so happened that

the man whom she had met was Ethan.

Ethan had always been a headache of their parents. They were always urging him to settle down and

get married. Thanks to her, Ethan was able to have peace for quite a few years.

But he couldn't hide it forever. Back then, Ethan had been studying abroad, so Ethan had ways to

prevent his parents from meeting his 'wife'. However, now that he came back, it was time to let Pearl

meet his parents.

Ethan said, "My mom told me that if I don't bring her a real daughter-in-law this time, she would freeze Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

my bank card and break my leg."

"Let her freeze it. You have a job."

"With that small amount of salary? Are you going to raise me?"

"With your spending standards, I can't afford to raise you." Pearl rolled her eyes.

"That's alright." Ethan grinned at her, his eyes sparkling. "Then it's high time you returned the favour."

Pearl was speechless. She really thought the whole thing was ridiculous.

God knew what reactions his parents would have when they saw her. Anyway, she wouldn't admit that

Ethan was her children's father. There was too much risk.

The Louise Mansion was located in the Upper East Hills of Kityall.

As one of the well-known four great families in Kityall, the Louise family was known for being generous

and vigorous. Nowadays, the person who was in charge of their company's financial assets was

Ethan's sister, Katherine.

Before they got out of the taxi, Ethan told her, "Everyone in my family is nice to talk to, except for my

sister. She is just 'brainless'. If she says anything that makes you unhappy, just ignore her. Don't take

her words seriously."

Pearl already had a guilty conscience. When she heard this, she wanted nothing more than to escape.

However, Ethan pulled on her arm desperately.

"Mr. Louise." A middle-aged man who seemed to be the housekeeper stood at the villa gate. He was

quite delighted as soon as he saw Pearl, "This must be our young Mrs. Louise, right? We have been

waiting for this day for so many years, and today we finally see you in person. You are even more

gorgeous than in the photos."

This compliment was so immensely flattering that Pearl was overwhelmed and didn't know what to

answer. Especially when she heard the title 'young Mrs. Louise', she was quite embarrassed. "You can

just call me Pearl." She said with a blush.

"Come inside, come inside. Your parents are waiting."

...

"Master, Madam, Miss Katherine, Ethan and his wife are here."

This voice was so loud that almost everyone within a kilometre radius of them could hear it clearly.

As soon as Pearl entered the living room, she saw a graceful figure sitting on the sofa. The woman was

over 50 years old, but she was well-maintained. She wore a sky blue shirt with a beige pattern on her

shoulder.

"This is my mom, and this is..." Ethan briefly introduced.

"You must be Pearl." Before waiting for Ethan finished the introduction, the graceful woman got up from

the sofa and immediately held Pearl's hands with a smile. She looked at Pearl from top to

bottom thoroughly.

While she examined her, she told Ethan, "You don't need to introduce her to me. How could I not know

who she is? Although I have never seen her, I have seen her photos. I'm 100% sure this is my

daughter-in-law."

Pearl felt a little dizzy from their enthusiasm. After she went back to her senses, she said, "Hi, Aunt.

This is my first visit so I have prepared a gift for you."

"Why are you still calling me aunt? You're Ethan's wife and we're family now."

Hearing this, Pearl was stunned.

Just as she didn't know what to say, Ethan said,

"Mom, that's enough. This is our first time meeting. You'll scare her away."

Victoria, Ethan's mother, glared at him angrily. "Bah, nonsense. Why would I scare my daughter-in-law

away!"

When she saw the two children behind Pearl, she immediately smiled lovingly, "These must be Bonny

and Brandon, aren't they?"

Pearl came back to her senses and said, "Yes they are."
