"Nice to meet you, Uncle Charles." Margaret bowed and greeted him sweetly even before she saw Elvis' uncle.
She thought that elders would probably like polite girls more.
Margaret felt that she had done a good job. She looked up to see Elvis' uncle reaction.
Yet, she saw a familiar handsome face.
Charleston!
What the f*ck.
Why was he here?
Margaret felt that her heart beating rapidly when she saw Charleston's extremely gloomy face.
She felt as if her heart was about to beat right out of her chest.
She clearly saw how moody Charleston was.
However, Elvis, the rascal, did not feel anything out of the ordinary.
After all, Elvis's impression of Charleston had always been like this.
Indifferent and unapproachable.
Therefore, Elvis did not feel that anything was amiss.
"Uncle." Elvis also nodded. He pulled Margaret, who was a little stiff, to sit across from Charleston.
All of a sudden, the room fell into a state of silence.
The quietness was a little weird. Ice almost formed from the cold, rigid silence.
"Ha." After a long time, Charleston sneered. "Elvis, is this your girlfriend?"
"Yes, Uncle. Her name is Margaret. Isn't she stunning?" Elvis, this rascal obviously did not know how to read the room.
"Yes, she's very stunning indeed!" Charleston curled up his thin lips. His dark, cold eyes were fixed on Margaret.
Margaret felt guilt gripping itself around her heart.
She tried hard to avoid Charleston's gaze.
Then she thought that this was not right.
She did not to do anything wrong. So, why did she have to avoid his gaze?
Therefore, she instantly looked right at him to meet his gaze.
At this moment, Charleston only wanted to kiss this seductive liar so hard that she could only catch her breath under his own body.
This evil woman.
She even dared to lie to him.
In the end, she and his nephew showed up in front of him.
She even showed up as his nephew's girlfriend!
That, in and of itself, was unforgivable!
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Finally, Elvis realized that there was something wrong with Charleston.
"I'm upset because the little kitten at home is being disobedient." Charleston answered casually.
Margaret knew that she was the kitten Charleston was referring to.
"Uncle, you have a cat?" Elvis was very surprised.
"Yes. A cat with little sharp claws."
The corner of Margaret's mouth twitched.
"We'll have to see it another day." Elvis nodded. "Uncle, what would you like to eat? Order whatever you like. It's my treat."
"It's okay." Charleston's gaze swept over Margaret and Elvis. "Elvis, are you serious about her? Is she just a random girl you found just to shut your mother up?"
Although he did not get along much with this nephew, Charleston was skilled at judging people.
Elvis was someone who would very likely to do such a thing.
"No way!" Elvis said seriously, "Uncle, I have known Margaret for a very long time. We've been through a lot of things together. There is nothing fake about our relationship."
"Been through a lot of things together?" Charleston's eyes grew darker. He held the glass in his hands with so much force that a crack appeared..
At this time, there were only two words in Margaret's mind.
