It was 7 p. m.
Yanis and Reed stood at the entrance of the apartment and soon spotted Zane's car.
When Reed saw the car coming in, he immediately turned to Yanis and asked, "Yanis, is that Mr. Lawrence's car?"
Yanis replied, "Yes."
Reed instinctively reached out and grabbed Yanis' hand. "Yanis, what should I do if my mom doesn't approve of me being with Allan? How should I handle it if she gets angry?"
"Reed," Yanis reached out and held Reed's hand, "Your mom is not unreasonable, and things are not as bad as you think. Don't be so nervous."
Reed shook his head, "No, I still feel a bit nervous."
Yanis gently patted Reed's hand and whispered, "Don't worry."
Zane and Allan got out of the car, and Zane looked at Yanis. "Why are you standing outside?"
Yanis stepped forward, "Waiting for you."
Zane naturally reached out and held Yanis' hand. "There was some traffic on the way, so we're a bit late."
"It's okay, dinner has just been prepared by Mia's mom, and there's a lot of delicious food," Yanis said, then turned to Allan. "Why so formal today?"
Allan glanced down at his clothes. "This isn't the first time I'm formally meeting my future mother-in-law. I should show some respect."
Yanis smiled. "Then let's go in first, and you and Reed can come in later."
Allan agreed, "Okay."
Yanis looked at Zane and whispered, "Let's go inside."
Zane nodded and walked through the door with Yanis.
After Yanis and Zane went inside, Reed finally walked up to Allan and said, "Don't worry, my mom probably won't get angry."
Allan couldn't help but chuckle at Reed's words. "Who's more nervous, me or you?"
Reed looked at Allan, "Aren't you nervous?"
Allan nodded, "I am, but knowing that we'll be together in the future makes me less nervous."
After saying that, Allan looked at Reed and asked softly, "How do I look in this outfit today?"
Reed seriously examined Allan's attire and said, "You look great."
Allan replied, "Zane has good taste."
Originally, Allan had planned to come in casual attire, but seeing Zane wearing a suit, he ended up picking a formal outfit halfway through.
Allan had never worn such formal attire before, so it felt a bit awkward on him.
Now, hearing Reed's comment, Allan felt excited.
"Let's go in. They're all waiting inside," Reed said, reaching out to pull Allan towards the door.
"Wait, I haven't taken the stuff from the car yet."
Saying that, Allan turned and walked to the back of the car, taking out the items from the trunk. "I didn't know what to buy, so I asked Zane."
Seeing what Allan took out from the car, Reed thought they looked expensive.
"Allan, these... won't they be too expensive? Aren't you in need of money right now? You don't have to buy such expensive things."
Allan grabbed the items with one hand and held Reed's hand with the other. "These are not expensive."
Reed wanted to say something but was interrupted by Allan. "Okay, let's go in. Don't keep them waiting."
Hearing Allan's words, Reed swallowed back the words he wanted to
say.
When the two of them entered, everyone at the dining table had already taken their seats.
As Reed and Allan entered, all eyes at the table turned to Allan.
