Chapter 678 Buy A House Each For Your Siblings
Once the Huttons were back at Saspiuburg, Amelia’s life returned to normal. In the blink of an eye, it would soon be Tiffany’s wedding.
Amelia accompanied her to test out the wedding dress that Derrick had custom-made from Irushea. After Tiffany put the dress on, she twirled in front of the mirror and chuckled. “Babe, do I look good?”
Amelia walked over and straightened the edges of the dress. “Tiff, you look exceptionally beautiful today. Even I’m charmed.”
Tiffany blushed and beamed.
Right then, Derrick entered the shop, and Amelia quickly retreated to the side to give the couple some space.
Marriage was a joyful event in life, and Amelia felt that she was lucky to witness it herself.
Back then, she and Oscar did not marry out of love. On the other hand, Tiffany and Derrick decided to get married out of love for each other. That itself was a good reason for others to congratulate them on their union.
As Derrick looked at Tiffany in a daze, he whispered, “Tiff, you look so attractive today.”
Tiffany’s cheeks turned redder, but she deliberately asked, “Do I not look attractive usually?”
“You always do, but you look even more attractive today.”
“What a sweet talker. Tell me. How many women have you said these words to?”
“You’re the only one I’ll say these things to in this life, next life, and the life after next.”
Tiffany giggled.
A smile grew on Derrick’s lips as well. He then reached out to caress her soft cheek and said, “Tiff, it’s time for us to meet my in-laws. It’s my fault that we haven’t met your parents even though we’re about to marry.”
Tiffany chuckled. “They’re flying this afternoon. My family is just a normal family. Mom and Dad haven’t seen much of the world. I’m afraid that the Hissons will look down on them, so I didn’t plan to let them meet your family. You won’t blame me for this, right?”
Derrick shook his head and lovingly told her, “Silly, why would I blame you for this? I should be going to your family home to visit your parents, but you ended up getting them to come before I could do that. As their son-in-law, I am the one who hasn’t done my duty.”
“We have a long road ahead of us. My parents won’t mind.
Derrick nodded. That was all he could do.
That night, when Tiffany’s parents and brothers’ family arrived, Derrick invited them over. However, Amelia’s family was the only other ones invited; he was planning to have the Hissons meet the Winters the next day so that the Winters would not be anxious.
Amelia stepped forward and chuckled, “Mr. Winters, Mrs. Winters, I’m Amelia. I played with Tiff when I was a kid. Do you remember me?”
Ophelia, Tiffany’s mother, looked at her and chuckled. “It’s you, Amelia. I watched you grow up, so how can I possibly not remember you? You’re getting prettier and prettier, and I nearly couldn’t recognize you. I haven’t seen you around when I go back to the family home over the years. Have you not gone back?”
Amelia smiled and changed the topic. “Mrs. Winters, you must be tired from the flight. I’ll ask Derrick to send you to the hotel after the meal. You should get some rest.”
A considerate woman she was, Ophelia did not insist on an answer.
“Dad, Mom,” Derrick and Tiffany called out as they walked over. Clearly, Derrick already thought of them as his in-laws.
When Ophelia and Reginald saw Derrick, who looked like the prime model of mankind, they froze.
They had never seen a man that attractive before—he was like one of the gods in the fantastical they heard when they were children.
I doubt there are many who look as charming as him! He’s so beautiful to the point anyone would feel bad about themselves just by being in the same room as him!
When Tiffany saw the way her parents were standing transfixed, a laugh escaped her.
“Mom, Dad, snap back to your senses. This is your son-in-law. He’s a man, not a god or a monster from some stories,” Tiffany deliberately teased.
It was then the Winters came back to their senses and turned red in the face.
Ophelia then rolled her eyes at her daughter, embarrassed, before turning back to Derrick.
“Are you Derrick? Tiff has shown us your photo before. You’re already very good-looking in photos. I never thought that you’d look even better in person. You’re just like the gods in the stories. Tiffany’s dad and I are stunned. We thought we’d gone to an alternate universe!” Ophelia’s description, which sounded like a typical statement of a woman her age, was also mixed with several trending terms. Hence, Derrick chuckled in amusement, and the two became much closer from that.
