Now, Nina's father and mother had known the truth, but they didn't want to make trouble for Nina when they saw her become unhappy. Both Nina's father and mother wept and felt sorry for her.
"How wonderful it would be if Nana could marry Howard, Hugh!" Sophia said to her father secretly.
But Mr. Gavin had a strange feeling about the disappearance of the beggar. When he saw it on TV, he would always be in a daze for no reason. Howard looked like a beggar, but in totally different appearance and couldn't be mentioned in the same breath with him.
What's more, since Nina came to live with them, there were always some men in black who appeared downstairs in front of them all the time.
At the beginning, Gavin was worried about the crime of perpetrator stealing, but as time went on, nothing wrong happened in the community. On the contrary, it was much safer.
On the other day, when Nina's father was reading the news in the living room and her mother was talking with Nina in the bedroom, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Gavin folded the newspaper, stood up and opened the door.
Gavin had a good relationship with his friends in the neighbourhood. He thought it was his chess friend who came to play chess with him again today.
However, he got stunned the moment he opened the door.
Only on the TV, he could see Howard's handsome face without any wrinkles in a well tailored suit. He was as domineering as an emperor, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
Gavin got even more frightened.
To his surprise, Howard came to his home.
"What You don't welcome me? " As usual, Howard touched his chin. Since he didn't know how to call him, his voice was a little embarrassing.
Gavin said in a trembling voice, "is this When did a gust of wind bring Mr. Howard here? Hurry up Come in, please! "
Gavin turned around and shouted at the bedroom, "wife, an important guest has come. Serve him a cup of tea!"
"Oh, what's wrong with your father? There is no outsider. Your father is so excited." She muttered and walked out. "husband, even if your lover comes, you shouldn't be so excited like this..."
Aunt Sophia was surprised to see Mr. Howard standing in the living room.
"Howard..." She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, "it's really Mr. Howard!"
"Hello, Nana, come out. We have an important guest." She had never heard her mother's shrill voice before.
"Who is it? Why are my parents so surprised?" Nina got out of bed lazily, put on a pair of slippers and walked out of the bedroom.
Nina was surprised to see that it was Mr. Howard. How could Mr. Howard come to her home!
"Why are you here?" Nina asked in surprise.
With a smile, Mr. Howard answered, "Nobody said that I couldn't come here, didn't I?"
"Oh, my Nana, you never fawn on others since childhood. Nana, how could you talk to him like that?" Sophia glared at Nina and said, "ask Mr. Howard to sit down. I'm going to make tea."
"Please take a seat, Mr. Howard!" Gavin said immediately.
Nina saw her parents' polite smile, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Mr. Howard, what are you doing here?" Nina asked directly.
" Nana..." Gavin shouted angrily. He couldn't invite Howard to his home, but she dared to turn him down.
"Dad, don't say anything." Nina said impatiently, staring at Howard with her bright eyes.
Without any hesitation, he sat down on the sofa and said, "don't you forget what you promised me?"
Nina asked deliberately, "what did I promise you?"
Then she saw Howard took out his phone and played the recording.
She heard the conversation with him.
"Nana's father, what is the personal secretary?" Sophia asked, holding a teapot in her hand.
She had heard that some big managers and second managers of some companies had secretaries, such as the small enterprise owner of their own husband, who didn't even have a secretary. Everything had to be done in person.
As for the word "personal", it was easy for people to associate the words with one another.
He ignored Sophia and took the teapot from her hand. Then he poured some water for Howard.
"Mr. Mr. Howard, you know that Nina has been married. We always respect her choice and have never forced her to do anything. I hope you can understand. Now Nina is pregnant. Although the beggar betrayed her, as her parents, we can't kick her out of our family. Do you think so? Therefore, I don't want Nana to work anymore. I just want her to have a baby at home. Mr. Howard... " Mr. Gavin cautiously observed the expression on Howard's face, fearing that his words would piss him off.
Howard took a sip of his tea gracefully and smiled. "Just because Nina is pregnant, I want to take her with me more. I think both of you have known my love for her, right?"
"Mr. Howard, do you mean that you still like Nana, even if she has a child of someone else, you still love her? Do you mean that?" Sophia pondered over what Howard had said and translated.
"Yes, sir!" Howard answered briefly.
