"What are you thinking?" asked Crystal.
She and Christina were about to go shopping, but she looked very odd.
Christina had been absent-minded since she left home. Walking on the flat road, she even bumped her head against the concrete pillar, and her forehead was immediately bruised.
She rubbed the bruise and mumbled, "I have got good news and bad news."
"What?"
Crystal felt as if she had encountered something bad.
Christina showed a complicated expression. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Crystal knew her temper. It was useless to force Christina to say anything that she didn't want to say. The stronger you were, the more she resisted.
Crystal gently started to talk about her own thing. "Yesterday, Chandler and I went back to the Stephenson family. Ah, I really don't know where to put myself. It was so embarrassing."
She just said it directly. "Chandler's parents, as well as his two uncles, are sitting in the living room waiting for us to go back. After we are in the hall, they hold a meeting for questioning, which makes me so embarrassed. I think I'm really unworthy to seek connections with them. Besides, Chandler and I don't have any profound affection. It was just a moment of confusion that we slept for no reason. I was sick that day, and I couldn't think straight!"
The more Crystal said, the sadder she became. She felt that she had done something outrageous.
"Why should I go with him to get the marriage certificate on impulse?"
As she spoke, she thought to herself, "Christina, can I deny this certificate? I suddenly want to buy a plane ticket and run somewhere else to hide from the thing."
Christina saw that she was under too much pressure and even wanted to run away from the marriage. "What did Chandler say?"
When it came to Chandler, who was a real refined rascal, Crystal Zhu had a problem with it!
"When I discussed with him before, he said that I can do whatever I want. But when I returned to the Stephenson family with him, everything became different. After all, so many elders with so many pairs of eyes looked straight at me in that meeting!"
Crystal was about to explode.
"I was so nervous that I didn't know how to deal with it. Then Chandler's father asked when we were together. Chandler was so straight that he didn't even give me any face and said directly, 'we went to bed and got the marriage certificate later.' Oh my god, it was so embarrassing. He really went too far!"
Damn it, she was schemed by that refined rascal again.
Christina looked at her angry expression and suddenly wanted to laugh.
The more Crystal said, the more excited she became. She was furious. "Do you know what he went the most overboard?"
"It doesn't matter to be examined by his elders yesterday. However, Chandler even asked Geoffrey to come and chat with us. Every time little Geoffrey looked at me, his innocent little eyes seemed to blame me for robbing his mother's seat. Ah, I'm so ashamed. I feel sorry for him."
Crystal walked to a corner of an alley. She leaned against the wall and was so depressed that she didn't want to go.
"I think Geoffrey likes you," said Christina.
Crystal sighed. "Christina, you don't understand. Children are very sensitive. You see, no matter how bad Erica is to Geoffrey, he is her own child. After all, blood is thicker than water."
Hearing this, Christina was in a daze and her eyes were thoughtful. "Blood is thicker than water."
They were standing in the corner of the bustling commercial street. The new year was around half a month away, so there were a lot of people in the streets and alleys. Shops and small stalls in the corner were filled with all kinds of goods. It was noisy and festive.
Christina came back to her consciousness. She found a familiar little figure who was looking at them at the corner across the street.
Christina soon recognized the boy, reaching out to wave at him and shouted, "Geoffrey."
Geoffrey was dressed in a handsome black suit. His face was white and tender, and his facial features were exquisite. He was very handsome and charming. Some of the little sisters who went shopping couldn't help but tease him.
Founded out by Christina, Geoffrey was a little embarrassed. Then he walked out directly, and behind him was an elder holding his little hand.
Crystal stood opposite Christina, so she did not see the situation clearly. Hearing the shout, she immediately turned around and looked back, standing straight in surprise.
What a coincidence!
"Mrs. Stephenson."
Crystal looked at Chandler's mother and greeted her politely.
Christina did not know Chandler's family. Hearing Crystal call her that, she also called out to her, "Hello, Mrs. Stephenson."
Chandler's mother was a professor at the university, mainly engaged in the study of ancient hieroglyphics of Egyptian writing. She had a dignified and delicate appearance with curved eyebrows. There was also a smiling expression on her face. And her conversation and behavior had a gentle temperament of a scholarly family.
"You are the granddaughter-in-law of the Hopkins family, right? Last time my husband and I went to the Hopkins family, we met from afar."
Mrs. Stephenson smiled and shook Christina's hand.
Christina smiled gently. She stood beside Crystal and looked at Chandler's mother. She felt that this woman should be very kind and easy to get along with by the first impression. No matter what, it must be much easier to get along with her than cold mothers-in-law like Laurie and Judy.
Crystal used to like this woman very much when she was a nanny in Chandler's house. She came from a scholarly family, and she was knowledgeable and kind to get along with.
But now, to be honest, Crystal was still not used to the sudden change from a nanny to a daughter-in-law of the Stephenson family. She only felt awkward now. She had only met her yesterday.
