Bill strode out of Bob's office.
Bob thought that Bill was crazy again. To be honest, Bill was indeed a very patient person and had a good memory except when it came to dealing with girls. Bill slept with many women for fun and forgot them a day later.
Therefore, Bob did not take Bill's words seriously.
Bob's phone rang.
Looking at the phone screen, Bob immediately answered the call.
"Hello, Mom, what's the matter?"
"Bob, are you free tonight? Come home. I'll make you something delicious."
"Tell me the truth, Mom. Did my dad ask you to call me to go home? You must be up to something tonight," Bob said, feeling frustrated.
The person on the other end of the phone was embarrassed. "You are too smart. I knew you would find out. Your father has asked Nyla's parents to come over to talk about your marriage."
Bob's father had already told Bob about this several times. It was time for Bob to settle down since he was not young anymore.
Originally, Bob had thought that he would follow his family's wishes and marry someone because of family connections. However, Bob had changed his mind, unwilling to obey his family.
Bob was not sure why he changed his mind. Maybe after Bob saw how happy Johny and Ceres were, Bob also wanted to find a woman he loved deeply to make his life meaningful. In short, Bob disliked Nyla now, especially when Nyla kept pestering Johny, after a lot of things had happened.
"Bob, don't blame me. I think you should consider marriage at this age."
"Okay. I got it. I'll come home tonight."
Bob agreed in the end. He did not want to make things difficult for his stepmother.
In the evening, Bob deliberately came back late because he did not want to talk more about marriage with his father Colby Lim. Ruby was on duty today, so he did not come home tonight.
Soon after Bob returned home, the people of the Yoder family arrived. Nyla followed behind her parents, looking a little docile.
Bob could no longer remember the last time they met. The moment they met, Bob recalled how she had sat naked on Johny, making Bob very uncomfortable.
The atmosphere at the dining table was a little awkward. Nyla and Bob were eating silently.
Only Bob's father, Colby, and Nyla's father, Freddy Yoder, were chatting happily. Bob's stepmother, Ivy Tucker, also seemed to have noticed this awkward atmosphere. Ivy was not familiar with Nyla's mother, Carla Venn, so Ivy didn't have much to talk about with Carla.
Nyla seemed to have a good appetite and kept eating and drinking. Bob looked at her from time to time, despising her.
Carla also seemed to notice her daughter's bad manners. Carla kept kicking Nyla's feet under the table, but Nyla did not care.
Nyla was full, put down the fork, got a tissue to wipe her mouth, and everyone at the table was looking at her.
Nyla raised her head and smiled at everyone present. "The food is very delicious. Thank you for entertaining us."
"Nyla, have some more if you like it." Ivy immediately smiled.
Nyla stood up and cleared her throat. "But I can't sell myself just because of a mouthful of food, right?"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present stiffened.
