"Dad, we're back. It smells so good. You must have made the sticky rice balls." As soon as Amy entered, she was attracted by the smell of the food.
Knowing that Richard would come, Stephen prepared some specialties.
Although there were just three people, he prepared a feast.
"Come in and wash your hands. The meal is almost done except for the soup." Stephen had been taking care of Amy by himself for many years and he had become a superb cook.
As soon as Amy walked to the dining table, she picked up a rice ball with her hand and put it in her mouth. It had been a long time since she ate this dish.
"No need to hurry. I have prepared a lot. Take some with you when you leave. It's your favorite and you must miss it." Stephen walked out with the soup. Seeing that Amy had started eating, he smiled. Amy was still his lovely daughter.
"Have a try, Richard. These are all my father's specialties." While putting food on his plate, Amy introduced these dishes.
"Amy’s flattering me. These are all Amy's favorites and I don't know whether you like them or not, Mr. Carter." In front of Richard, Stephen was still a little reserved.
Although Stephen was older, Richard was a successful businessman in R City that ordinary people didn't dare to offend.
"Stephen, you are so kind. Since you're Amy's father, we are a family. Just call me Richard." Richard said to Stephen.
"That's right, Dad. He's your son-in-law. Why are you so polite?" Amy was chewing with food in her mouth, looking quite cute.
"Well, Richard. Suit yourself." Only then did Stephen feel relaxed.
They enjoyed their meal. The dishes were so delicious that they finished them all up.
Amy touched her belly and leaned against the sofa. She didn't care the two guys who scrambled to wash the dishes.
This was the marriage that she longed for. She was pleased with her life since her husband and father both loved her.
"Dad, these are gifts from Richard." Amy showed Stephen the things they brought back.
"It is so kind of you. You don't have to bring me gifts." Seeing those gifts, Stephen said.
"It's our pleasure." Richard quickly replied.
There were various gifts from food to daily necessities. What attracted Stephen the most was a chess set made of jade. He was fond of playing chess but had no decent chess set. With this, he could play chess with his friends.
"Stephen, I still owe Amy a wedding. I've discussed it with my family and decided to have one. What do you think?" Richard asked Stephen's advice about the wedding.
"It's not necessary. Since we've married for quite a long time, just keep it simple." Amy didn't want a wedding. As long as Richard was nice to her, she was satisfied.
"I don't think so. How can I take it for granted?" Richard insisted on having a wedding. He always felt that he owed Amy a lot.
