Feeling that the girl was leaning closer and putting her weight on him, Charles Mu couldn't help laughing and he held her harder.
"What do you want?"
"I want to crush you to death." Linda whispered.
"Crush me? With your weak body? Stop dreaming. Try eating more every day and gain some weight. Then you may have a chance at that."
Linda's lips curved up, like a little crescent.
Men's sweet words are always pleasant to hear, but are never meant to be taken seriously. If girls really gained weight and became fat women, it's unlikely that men would still love them.
While talking glibly, they walked to the main door. It was a little hot today.
Tall trees grew in the garden without restraint. Linda felt better when branches shaded her from the sun.
Linda found that Charles Mu had changed a lot as he used to be frigid.
He was reticent even when talked to and he always refused to talk too much.
But now, Charles Mu even could be described as a chatterbox when he chatted with her. But Linda knew that he only treated her that way.
Linda had thought of her engagement to Charles Mu as ruining her chance at a happy life and she begrudgingly accepted her fate
She had thought of this engagement as a price that she had to pay in order to cure her foster mother and to avenge herself.
She thought her life was so helpless, destined for a bleak ending like a fallen leaf waiting to be turned into soil when spring came.
Surprisingly, a colorful flower sprang up where the leaf had rotted. Charles had deeply touched Linda beyond measure.
Arriving at the door, Linda looked into 【S600】. James Mu was sitting in the front passenger seat alone.
Huh? Violet Xing was not coming?
It seemed Violet Xing was still angry at her so much so that she even refused to come down to the Xia clan to discuss her own son's engagement.
Bun help Linda got into the car carefully. It's really troublesome to wear high-heeled shoes. Linda felt she couldn't even stand firmly.
After Linda and Charles got into the car, Paul got into the driving seat as well. Bun followed in and sat beside Linda.
Paul started the S600 and drove towards the Xia clan.
S600 ran steadily on the road.
"You look gorgeous today!" After the car started, James Mu turned around and squinted at Linda before making his compliment.
Linda was about to reply when Charles Mu cut in, "Dad, she's my wife. My compliments are all she needs."
"Hey, boy. Now you have a wife and you don't need a father, do you? How dare you talk to me like that?" Blowing up his mustache, James Mu felt depressed.
Inside the car was a joyous scene. Linda tittered as she found those two to be hilarious.
"Uh, Lady Mu isn't coming today?" Linda could not help but ask. She believed it was better if she could get blessings from parents of both sides for her marriage. She was not comfortable about the idea that her mother in law was not fond of her.
"Oh, Violet? She's been in bad mood lately. She's gone to the United States to relax herself."
