SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS novel Chapter 1084

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1080: MEETING, FINALLY!

Diamond, did that quick scan in a matter of seconds and didn’t openly show that she was sizing another man’s husband.

A smile was on her face, as she rose to her feet alongside Penny, who had stopped talking in the middle the moment Russ walked in.

"Husband!" Penny had called out excitedly, but Diamond didn’t miss the awkwardness in that calling.

It was as if Penny was using a term she wasn’t used to and it made her gossipy side very interested. Her eyes were just short of twinkling like stars, fortunately, she suppressed that urge and maintained a soft smile on her face, acting like she wasn’t seeing that awkwardness at all.

Russ twitched upon being called an unfamiliar term he didn’t feel much drawn towards to. For a moment he wondered why Penny was acting out of character but then his gaze unconsciously moved towards the bright woman standing next to Penny, and he understood instantly.

Women have this competitive spirit in them. It can’t be that Penny was trying to mark her ground in front of Diamond, was she?

Nevertheless, he was someone who still respects this nominal wife of his and wouldn’t outrightly embarrass her in front of others.

The moment that clicked, he smiled back at her, and called her, "Wife, I hope that I didn’t keep you waiting," playing along the act.

Diamond, watching all that inwardly clicked her tongue as she felt disappointed.

Nevertheless, Penny was happy to see Russ’s response. The moment she called out to him, she regretted it. In that short moment, her thoughts wandered widely and she even thought about how she would fare if Russ responded otherwise. Thankfully, he kept her reputation intact.

With the couple on the same wavelength, Penny felt her courage returning and she confidently looked at Diamond, eager to see her reaction but when she saw that familiar soft expression on her face, she felt slightly disappointed as that wasn’t the reaction that she wanted to see.

Nonetheless, she still acted proper and started to make the introductions, "Diamond, dear, meet Russ, my husband," making sure to emphasize greatly on the status.

Diamond smiled at Penny before looking at Russ openly with the same soft smile on her face, while Penny continued with the introductions.

"Husband, meet Diamond," and Diamond wasn’t much surprised to not hear any other embellishments added.

She simply took a few steps forward and met Russ halfway with her hand stretched. While the greeting etiquette here differs from Athary, and she was quite curious how a hug from Russ will feel like, she knew and understood boundaries. She doesn’t like playing games with married men, regardless of their marriage conditions.

So, she opted for a handshake and Penny was visibly relieved upon seeing the two doing a handshake instead of a hug and cheek kiss.

"It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Russ. I have heard so much about you," Diamond cheekily greeted Russ, not being overly polite, and didn’t forget to throw a wink at Penny, making the woman blush.
