The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 829

Doris sat down on the sofa, and directed her sight toward Allen asking, "So... how is the thing going... the thing I asked you to do?"

"I'm on it. Everything is in progress!" confirmed Allen. He then proceeded to inquire, "How do you like the house? Our dinner's purpose today is mostly for you to take a look at the house. What do you think?"

"It will do," stated Doris, unimpressed. She glanced around the room again briefly and added, "The house itself is rather small but it's enough for the two of us."

"Yes, exactly! Good, I'm glad you like it!" Allen affirmed excitedly. A small sigh of relief followed his large smile.

However, the moment didn't last long as Doris began questioning him again, "So... When will we finalize the procedure?" She had her own agenda and wasn't about to postpone it.

"Procedure? What procedure?" inquired Allen nervously. He surely had a sense of where Doris was heading with that question but hoped to avoid the subject.

"Ownership transfer procedure, of course!" Doris replied without hesitation. She was surprised he was asking for clarifications. He should have known what she was talking about. To show that she wasn't messing around, Doris addressed the big elephant in the room directly, "Do not think that I don't know the owner of this house is still your sister. I'm telling you, the house needs to be in my name! I have to see it written on the certificate of title with my own eyes. Why can't she give it up already? A house like this in Y City is not for one person alone to live in! You are her brother, the man of the house, the one getting married and the one about to have a baby. You have more right to have it than her!"

Allen sputtered to say something, "Doris, I..." No words could come out, though. Intimidated by her angry expression, he quickly looked away hoping to avoid further conflict.

However, his attempt was futile; Doris was even more enraged by his gesture. "Allen Wang! Are you going to go back on your promise?" Her face turned red. She moved closer to him and started threatening, "I don't like to be played around like that. You have to keep your word. Otherwise, you will be sorry! I will have an abortion and you will never get to marry me!"

"No! No! No! Please don't!" begged Allen. He grabbed her hand as she was about to hit her belly. With a calm voice, he requested, "Take it easy, Doris. We have to do things step by step."

"Step by step?!" she exclaimed even louder. Doris couldn't believe her ears. She had to get him to commit. "The baby is getting bigger and bigger every day. How long do you think I can wait? Allen Wang, you have to confirm a date today! No more playing games!"

"I..." Allen mumbled. He could never protest in front of Doris. Unsure what else to say, he turned to Peggy with a helpless look.

Peggy sighed heavily and began comforting Doris, "Doris, don't worry about it. Our family never goes back on our promises."

She continued, "You need to take care of yourself since any stress can affect the baby. Keep calm and don't get angry. Take a seat and hear me out."

Doris frowned, but she obeyed and sat down.

Before Peggy could say anything, though, she started justifying herself, "Aunt Peggy, I don't mean to push you. But the baby is growing every day. Of course, I don't want to lose it. However, if you can't provide me with what I need, as you promised, I'm afraid you are forcing me into an abortion. I hope you understand my concerns!"

After another moment of silence, Doris went on, "As a woman, I'm sure you can understand that I only want a better life after marriage. But you take a look at your son! I'm better than him in every aspect! If you can't keep your promise, I will have to..."

Peggy immediately interrupted her, "Yes, I understand! You are right. I know you are a good girl." With a fake smiled, she continued to flatter Doris, "I know it is my son's honor to have you as his girlfriend. What a lucky man!"

"It's good that you know it," Doris reiterated. Without moving away from the topic too much, she decided to ask again, "So what are you going to do about it? When do we sign the property deed?"
