The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497 

Following Xander’s words, Haylan and Lorraine’s expressions changed. They could not help but turn to look at Reign with shock in their eyes. 

Especially Haylan. He was even more shocked. 

Was that why Reign wanted to buy a gift? 

Was it because she felt nervous about meeting his parents? 

That was rather unlikely, wasn’t it? 

Reign was an entrepreneur in charge of tens of thousands of people. She was used to all kinds of situations. Why would she be nervous about his ordinary parents? 

This was a little unbelievable! 

Reign blushed a little under their stares. Then, she glared at Xander. “What nonsense are you talking about? A guest shouldn’t come empty-handed. This is our Lightdom City’s traditional culture.” 

Xander and Lorraine looked at Haylan in unison. “Is that so?” 

“There is indeed such a tradition. We can’t visit empty-handed, Haylan said. 

“Really?” 

“Then we do need to buy something.” 

When Xander and Lorraine heard this, they were enlightened. Then, their expressions became earnest, and they began to discuss what to buy. 

In the next secondl, they turned to look at Haylan and asked in unison, “What do your parents like?” 

When Reign heard this, she chuckled and teased, “Are you also daughters-in-law meeting your parents-in-law?” 

As she spoke, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. 

When Xander heard this, he looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly “It’s just a misunderstanding.” 

He had said the same thing to Reign just now. He did not expert Reign to laugh at him with the same words. 

At the same time, he thought to himself, “Are all women so vengeful?” 

“There is no need to buy it. We are all family. It’s great that you are here. Besides, my parents have everything they like at home. There is no need… Haylan said. 

“No, we must buy some!” 

Reign, Xander, and Lorraine said in unison. 

Then, the three of them ignored Haylan and left straight to buy. 

Haylan was speechless. 

What was this? 

He stood at the door, not knowing whether to enter or not. 

After all, he was the one who brought these three people here. If he went back first, it would show that he was not a good friend. 

Helplessly, he walked to the side of the street, smoked a cigarette, and waited for them. 

About 30 minutes later, Reign and the other two returned with many things. 

Haylan looked at the bags in their hands and could not help but sweat. “Are you going to empty the market?” 

“Aho, Xander, why did you buy so much beef offal 

He could tell at a glance that these three people had bought many things. There was whiskey, fruits, and even beef and beef offal…… 

“Haylan, I want to eat beef offal,” Xander said 

“Piss off! Do you want to tire my mother to death? Also, you are here as a guest. It’s fine if you bought gifts, but you even bought beef offal for yourself. Why are you so thick-skinned?” Haylan glared at him 

“Hahaha 

Xander chuckled.
