The convenient Bride novel Chapter 381

When Mrs. Elton finished speaking, the air fell into a deathly silence.

 

Ebenezer's face was gloomier than before, and his sharp gaze was fixed on Payton, who was sitting opposite him.

 

“Mom, what are you talking about?" Juliet put on a wry smile as she looked at Mrs. Elton. She thought an elder should be ashamed of saying these words in front of a junior, especially in front of Payton.

 

Juliet turned to look at Payton and met his eyes. Payton was also embarrassed. She could only smile helplessly at him.

 

Mrs. Elton did not feel that there was anything wrong with her words. Instead, she responded to Juliet with a serious expression, "I'm talking about a big problem. You and Payton shouldn't ignore this problem. Although the people nowadays are not as conservative as before, you should consider what kind of family we are. If you get pregnant before getting married, we might be laughed at by many people:

 

Juliet glanced at Payton with shyness on her face. “Mom” said Juliet, “don't worry about this. Payton and I haven't been so intimate yet"

 

Mrs. Elton was surprised. “Last night, you two...”

 

Mrs. Elton didn't finish her words. But Juliet learnt from her mother's expression that the latter had misunderstood. Juliet smiled helplessly, “Dad, Mom, I only slept at Payton's house for one night. It wasn't as bad as you think.”

 

At most, it was Payton who helped her take off her dirty clothes.

 

Thinking that Payton had seen her naked body, Juliet blushed. She took a deep breath and calmed down. She smiled and said to Payton, "Payton, hurry up and explain it to my parents. Otherwise, they will misunderstand you:

 

Payton raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at her in disbelief.

 

What did she want him to explain?

 

To explain that he didn't touch her?

 

Wasn't this too awkward?

 

Juliet kept winking at him, so he could only force wooden smile and explain sincerely to Juliet's parents, "Mr. and Mrs. Elton, don't worry. Juliet and I will never cross that line before we get married”

 

Ebenezer's face softened slightly and a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes.

 

Mrs. Elton nodded in satisfaction, “Payton, Juliet's father and I are not opposed to your relationship, but we are selfish and don't want our daughter to be hurt”

 

Payton smiled gently, "Yes, I see”

 

After saying that, he and Juliet looked at each other. Juliet pursed her lips and snickered, giving him a thumb up.

 

Payton raised his eyebrows, and his smile grew more brilliant.

 

To tell the truth, he felt embarrassed to tell such a thing to elders, especially his girlfriend's elders.

 

However, he had to say that no matter how embarrassed he was. After all, they were Juliet's parents, and it was normal for them to worry about Juliet. He, as Juliet's boyfriend, was to reassure them that he would never hurt Juliet.

 

Rosiley was worried that the police would be tricked by Xenia like last time, so she asked Maddox's good friend, Captain Smith, for help. She asked Captain Smith investigate all the criminal facts of Xenia.

 

When Rosiley and the police came looking for them, Xenia and Rorey were in the ward.

 

“Hello, I'm the police officer in charge of this case. You can call me Captain Smith’

 

Captain Smith walked over to Xenia and Rorey to show his police certificate. Then, he continued, "We received a report from Ms. Rosiley. Ms. Xenia, you are involved in a case of intentional assault and attempted murder. We need your cooperation:

Actually, when Xenia and Rorey saw Rosiley walk in with police, they panicked. However, they tried their best to maintain a calm expression on their faces, not wanting to show any anxiety.
