As a matter of fact, Angela and Richard had dressed themselves up. But not as exaggerated as Lily and Eric.
Richard was dressed in a well cut suit, and Angela wore a cheongsam, which fully highlighted her charm.
"It seems that mother is getting more and more satisfied with you." Standing next to Lily, Eric whispered in her ear.
Lily unconsciously winced her neck, because the breath he spat out when he spoke touched her skin, which made her feel itchy.
"Stay away from me." She protested in a low voice and took a step forward, slightly opening the distance between them.
"Come back." Eric suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her back. Then he confined her to his side and looked down at her with a little displeasure on his face. "Stay away from you? Huh?"
"Well… I mean, as our elders are here, you'd better not behave so intimately." Lily looked up at him and explained in a low voice.
Eric accepted the explanation reluctantly, "They won't care."
Lily was speechless for a while. She glared at Eric. They didn't care but I care! They were only two children now, but he was so intimate in front of the elders. How could she face those elders!
"It's useless to glare at me." "We haven't seen each other for nearly a month. You have to stay close to me today." said Eric casually.
"Eric, can you not be so overbearing?" It was Lily's turn to be angry.
He lowered his head and smiled at her, "No."
"You..." Lily stared at him with a red face. Due to shyness or anger, his answer made her feel uneasy.
This feeling was indescribable, but there was also a hint of love.
The intimate behavior between the two was seen by the three adults. Their expressions were different, but they tacitly chose not to speak, but looked at them quietly.
Finally, Angela couldn't help laughing and interrupted them, "Okay, okay, I know you have a good relationship, but don't forget the next business."
Hearing his mother's words, of course Eric dared not to argue with Lily any more. He quickly lowered his head, kissed the lips of Lily in his arms, and then stood there calmly.
"I know, mom."
Lily, who was kissed secretly, blushed thoroughly. She did not dare to look up at the others, and kept her head down. She pinched his waist forcibly as if to vent her anger.
"Ah." Eric could not help taking a deep breath. However, he did not get angry. Instead, he took the rattled hand around his waist and said gently, "Stop it. Mom and dad are watching us."
Who should blame? Who should blame? It was all his fault! If he hadn't kissed her in front of the elders, she wouldn't have done that.
Lily was so angry that she stamped on his foot before she stopped.
Angela shook her head reluctantly with a doting smile on her face. She shifted her eyes from them and turned to Kerr, "How long will Tina be here?"
He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "There are more than ten minutes left."
"Is it ok?"
"Yes." Kerr nodded, with excitement, "Everything is ready."
"Come on!" Angela gave him an encouraging smile. To be honest, she really hoped that they could get married as soon as possible.
Since the two families knew each other because of the children, she liked Tina's disposition very much, gentle and generous, and it also loosened the discipline of children.
After spending some time together, they became good friends.
As the time for the appointment was getting closer and closer, Kerr became more and more nervous. He could not sit still at all and kept pacing back and forth in the room.
Seeing this, Lily could not help laughing. A man in his forties could not keep calm when he proposed to the woman he liked.
When there was five minutes left before seven, he finally stopped and turned around. "I will go out to prepare. Please enter the inner room."
Hearing that, everyone stood up. Eric walked to him and patted on his shoulder, "Come on, uncle Kerr!"
"Thank you."
Lily gave an encouraging smile and a gesture of cheering him up.
It was a mini room in the room where the guests could have a rest in only.
The whole private room was used for business purpose, and the outer room was a place for people to talk about dinner, so the decoration environment of the room was relatively strong, but because of Kerr's requirement, the environment of the outer room was deliberately made and renovated.
The wall was replaced with several landscape paintings. A rack was placed in each of the four corners of the room, with pink roses on it.
