"Remember to greet them with a smile, and pretend you didn't see anything today," Mrs. Brightwood advised him, trying to stay calm. "First, buy the house and get married. Then we can persuade her to leave the industry. If Summer gets pregnant, she won't need any persuasion; she'll have to leave to take care of the baby."
Mr. Brightwood listened without commenting, lost in thought. As a father, his anxiety and worry were no less than that of her mother. Emotions are strange; they develop through interaction. Why else would so many long-distance marriages end in divorce? Nothing withstands time and distance.
"Our future plans depend on what Rupert wants," Mrs. Brightwood said. "If he thinks it's better to develop his career abroad, then he should take Summer with him. Since she's married into our family, she should consider her husband's opinion."
"Then what's the point of buying a house in Arkpool City?" Mr. Brightwood asked.
Mrs. Brightwood became a bit agitated upon hearing this. "This is our hometown, our roots! Who says developing abroad means settling there permanently? No one can predict the future!"
At that moment, the sound of the elevator opening reached them, and the two elders turned to look.
Spencer almost twisted his ankle as he stepped out of the elevator.
"Careful," Summer instinctively supported his arm, her gaze following him, so she didn't immediately notice the two elders standing not far away.
Spencer looked up and met the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Brightwood.
The two elders stared at them in shock.
Following Spencer's gaze, Summer finally saw the Brightwood elders standing at the doorway. She was slightly stunned and slowly released Spencer's arm.
"Mr. Brightwood? Mrs. Brightwood..." Summer hadn't expected to see them here.
Neither had Mr. and Mrs. Brightwood expected to witness such a scene! Not only did they come home together, but they also had physical contact! They looked like a couple!
Mrs. Brightwood quickly put on a smile and handed her bag to her husband.
