Chapter 848 Preparation of Betrothal Gifts
“Say yes! Say yes!” “Kiss! Kiss! Muah!” Joining in on the fun, Alexia and Irvin shouted loudly from afar. “Nonsense!” Jamie rolled his eyes at them awkwardly with fidgeting hands. “Enough of this, Narissa. You can fight with your boyfriend all you want, but don’t toy with me.”
“Who’s toying with you?” Narissa replied loudly in a stern tone. “I’m serious about this. Jamie, I like you, and I want to be with you. Can you give me a chance?” “Y-Y-You… What kind of woman confesses to a man?” Shocked, Jamie started to stutter.
“A woman like me will do. So, is it a yes?” Narissa tried to humble herself with an expectant gaze, unexpectedly adding another feel to her strong front.
“I… I…” Not able to squeeze out a sentence, Jamie rolled his eyes around before suddenly shouting and pointing behind Narissa. “Look! A UFO!”
Subconsciously, Narissa turned around. Yet, except seeing Elise and the others, the sky was all clear. Instead, Jamie, who saw that she was distracted, ran away as fast as he could. When she turned around, she only saw Jamie’s back disappearing around the corner.
“Jamie Keller!” Narissa stomped her foot out of anger. “You coward! You can run, but I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth! I will catch you one day!”
Before she confessed, she was already mentally prepared to be rejected. Of course, if Jamie had said yes, it would have been the best outcome. Yet, who knew that he would come up with a third outcome?
Sadly, this was the person she fancied, so she could only hold it in. Elise, who was laughing at this hilarious scene, loudly teased her, “You can do it! I believe in you!”
“We believe in you too, Godmother! Haha…” Alexia joined in on the fun. Blushing, Narissa walked back to them. “Don’t you laugh!”
“I’m not!” Alexia covered her mouth, but she could not hide her upturned mouth and eyes.
Finding this amusing, Narissa said, “Just laugh. Don’t hold it in.”
With a snicker, Alexia eventually laughed loudly. “You are my only godmother. You’re meant to be with my godfather anyway. He’ll return soon enough. Don’t worry.”
“Finally, some music to my ears.” Narissa patted her head gently. Just as they were about to head back into the house, a gray van slowly pulled up. The car door opened and a man alighted from the vehicle.
Although the man looked young, he had slicked-back hair and a long coat with gold-framed glasses, as if he was trying to hide his age and look mature.
The moment Mimi saw him, she ran over and hugged him. “Brother! Sob…”
She then cried sadly while nobody knew what was on her mind. Irvin, who saw this, had a solemn expression. Kneeling down, the man hugged Mimi, allowing her to cry for a while before holding her hands to stand up. He then looked at Elise.
“You must be Miss White. I’m Mimi’s older brother.” The man had a pensive expression. “It must have been hard on you, having to take care of her.”
“It’s nothing. Mimi has been very obedient, so I didn’t have to do much.” Elise had seen him in photos before, so she did not doubt his identity.
“Actually, I came back a few days ago, but I was busy dealing with family affairs. Now that those issues have been settled, I plan to bring Mimi back with me this time. We’ll be migrating abroad for good,” the man briefly stated his intentions.
Elise was understanding. “It’s natural for a family to want to be together. I believe everything will get better.”
The man gave a subtle nod before uttering to Mimi softly, “Mimi, shall we go home now?”
“Yes.” Mimi nodded. “Thank you so much for all you’ve done.” After the man bade his farewell, he held Mimi’s hand while walking to the car. After getting into the car, Mimi jumped down again and ran up to Irvin before taking off the necklace she had been wearing all this time and gave it to him.
“Irvin, don’t forget about me. I will look for you again.”
