Chapter 554 Sweetie
Linden and Aurora sat down on a couch and turned their eyes sideways toward Douglas.
This little bastard, did he know how to talk, or will he die if he didn't expose them?
Douglas chuckled and said, "You saw it, so why pretend? You'll see it later."
Linden really wanted to beat up his mouthy son, but today was an important day to meet their daughter-in-law. Although he was very familiar with Martha, he still needed to display his dignity.
"Your brother is not as thick-skinned as you," he said. "watch your mouth."
Douglas said, "Well, Ash's the most thick-skinned. You're having a double standard, Dad."
Linden gave him a look.
Aurora interrupted the father-son argument just in time, and quickly asked, "Douglas, tell me, why does Ash suddenly come back? And with a girl. Is she really his girlfriend? I'm not prepared for this at all. I'm rather nervous about meeting her later."
Douglas was speechless.
He looked at his mother and said, "As long as you don't scare the girl with too much enthusiasm, your daughter-in-law can't run away."
Aurora was immediately delighted.
Her eyes had already turned to the stairs, and she wondered where Ash had taken the girl and why they had not returned.
Martha sat next to Douglas and almost burst out laughing.
She'd been feeling for a while now Aurora' enthusiasm.
The moment Aurora saw her, she almost gave her the entire Torres family.
It was as if she were the savior of the Torres family, and Douglas finally married.
Again, in Aurora's eyes, Ash and Douglas were the same, and finding a girl was enough to make her grateful.
Douglas sensed that Martha was about to burst into laughter. He squeezed her hand and whispered in her ear, "Calm down. Don't laugh so hard."
He might as well not have said it, however.
Martha could hold it together, but when he said it, she couldn't control anymore.
Martha fell into Douglas's arms laughing, with her shoulders twitching, trying not to let herself laugh out loud.
Douglas was helpless. He now had serious doubts as to how Martha had been faking it in the past. At all times, she had the same expression, calm and collected, as if anything can not affect her professional quality.
However, now it seemed that she must be pretending so hard, because clearly, she was easily to be amused.
Douglas patted Martha on the back, reassuring her not to laugh and gasp.
Martha, after all, had been practicing for thirteen years, and she was soon in control of her emotions.
She sat up straight from Douglas's arms. Her face restored to its normal expression, without the slightest trace of a laughter that had gone out of control.
Douglas said, "You're so cute."
Martha bit her lower lip, looking innocent.
Linden and Aurora looked at each other again. What should they do? The two of them seemed so unnecessary.
Fortunately, they were not so miserable, not like other people who were forced to see someone displaying their affection.
Because they can do the same.
After Aurora and Linden exchanged a look, Aurora said, "Honey, do you think I should go up and change?"
"I think so, baby," said Linden.
The two got up together and walked up the stairs.
Douglas and Martha looked at their backs together, almost amused.
They were clearly intentional to show off in front of the two of them.
Douglas just laughed by anger.
Where on earth did his parents get the desire to win?
He cocked his head at Martha and said, "Got it?"
"What?" Martha asked, looking at Douglas strangely.
"Didn't you hear what mom and dad called each other?" Douglas said.
Martha's face immediately turned red. Why did this guy direct the topic to it?
Although the two of them had now been licensed, they called each other like them.
And although Douglas had called her baby before, it was completely different compared with now.
Martha blushed just thinking about it.
Douglas, however, had no intention of letting her go.
He put his hand directly on the back of Martha's neck and rubbed it gently.
Martha's body shuddered and went numb.
She tried to hide subconsciously, but Douglas pulled her back.
Douglas said, "When are you going to call me honey?"
Martha's face was so red that she tried to avoid it, but she could not say anything against Douglas's burning eyes.
There was anticipation in Douglas's eyes.
He had never known himself to have such a side, so eager to hear a word from a woman's mouth.
It was as if Martha was in charge of everything after she called him like that.
Douglas, however, would not have forced Martha to change her mind immediately.
He was very, very concerned about her emotions, and didn't want her to feel any discomfort.
So, just when Douglas thought Martha wasn't going to speak for a while, he was about to open his mouth to let her know what he was thinking when he heard Martha say, "Honey."
Douglas shuddered and looked at Martha.
At this moment, he was very emotional.
There was a moment when Douglas wasn't sure if the voice he had just heard was real.
His eyes burned on Martha's face for a long time before he said, "Say that again, will you?"
Martha's face reddened even more.
She had used a lot of courage and strength to call him honey.
But the moment she called out, Martha felt relieved.
The person in front of her was indeed her honey, the one who wanted to spend his life with her. In this world, only she can call him by this name.
Martha's eyes were full of affection. "Honey," she said
This sound, than the one just now, sounded softer and firmer.
For a moment, Douglas wanted to cry.
This title seemed to be more beautiful than a "I love you".
Douglas's fingertips tightened, pulling Martha toward him.
He kissed Martha on the lips and said affectionately, "Sweetie."
