Elaine’s eyes were wide open due to the fear. She looked at Oliver with her wide-open eyes.
Damn it! Being caught up by my father...Oliver was still showing a happy face?
Why was he so happy and even smiling?
She wanted to cry because she knew that she was doomed!
She had never been close to a boy from primary school to senior school.
Though she had secretly drooled over many handsome boys, it was all unrequited love. There was not a single boy who was willing to date her!
But now...
Suddenly, Oliver, a super handsome boy who was even more dazzling than diamonds, popped up...
She didn’t know whether her father would be shocked as well as aggravated.
Elaine pursed her lips and her lips trembled. She turned around slowly.
Elaine answered her father slightly, “Hi, Dad...Aren’t you home early today?”
She even scratched her hair like an idiot.
Oliver quickly bowed to her father from the distance. He laughed and shouted,
“Uncle! Nice to meet you!”
Elaine’s father Bruno blinked his eyes. Even from such a distance, he could see the pretty face of Oliver that was as beautiful as peach blossom.
Bruno couldn’t help but freeze.
For the first time in his life, he saw such a pretty and handsome man as Oliver.
Though he was standing afar, still, he made Bruno feel amazed.
“Who is that? Don’t just stand by the street and talk. Come over! Come inside!”
Bruno shouted to them. He couldn’t bear with the foam that kept dropping from his head any more. He waived his hand to Elaine and then hurried back home to continue washing his hair.
Right now, Elaine felt like she wanted to die. She even had a long face now. She wanted to cry.
“What should I do? Who should I do now? Oh my god...”
Elaine stomped her foot and was at a loss about what to do.
But Oliver was still smiling. He said nothing and just went to open the trunk of his car. Then he carried four delicately-wrapped present boxes.
“Luckily, I have some present boxes brought back from abroad in my trunk. Or it will be so rude of me to directly visit your father without bringing gifts. But I don’t have cigarettes. Do you think I should go buy some packs of cigarettes?”
Oliver carefully thought about it and asked Elaine with a soft voice.
Elaine was grinding her teeth and shouted to him, “Who asked you to bring gifts! Go away now. Go! Are you really thinking about going to my home? Please go away! Don’t make more troubles for me.”
Elaine scratched her hair and was thinking how to explained about Oliver to her father. But Oliver stepped forward and walked to the Jones’ family.
“Hey! Stop, you! Stop! What are you doing? Oliver!”
Elaine ran to chase him. She shouted and grabbed Oliver’s sleeve, trying to drag him back.
“I must go. You heard it just now. Your father asked me to go inside. Can I ignore what your father said? It’s a bit hasty today. I will just bring these gifts this time. And next time, I will make full preparation.”
Elaine froze and shouted, “No. No! You can’t go to my home! If you do, I will literally be doomed! Please go back! Please, I am begging you. Please, Mater Young. Don’t make more troubles for me.”
When Elaine was dragging Oliver backward, her father walked out again with a towel covering his hair. He shouted,
“Elaine! Didn’t I tell you to come inside? Why are you still dawdling? Boy, come inside too!”
Oh.
Elaine totally blacked out.
“Coming, uncle. We are coming.”
Oliver smiled and strode towards Bruno, carrying the delicately-wrapped present boxes.
Walking behind tall Oliver, Elaine was behaving like a thief. She lowered her head and walked within the shadow of Oliver.
Damn. She was dead this time.
A crowd of curious neighbors stood in the hutong. They all looked at Oliver with their eyes wide open.
They looked at him from bottom to top.
Elaine felt like her head was about to explode...
Oliver, on the other hand, was smiling at the neighbors with a good temper and nodding his head to greet them.
“That’s the boyfriend of Bruno’s first daughter...”
“He dresses like a prince...”
“He is so good-looking. Handsome, gorgeous!”
“Look at his car. He must be very rich.”
“Is it possible that he is the driver of some boss? Then it’s not that good. Drivers’ education background is not good-looking...”
Elaine wanted to kill!
These neighbors, which included a bunch of old people, were good at gossiping.
How could Oliver be a driver...
Bruno’s face was full of seriousness and vigilance. He fixated his eyes on Oliver who was walking closer to him.
Oliver stood in front of Bruno. His eyes smiled joyfully.
The he made a 90-degree bow and seriously greeted Bruno, “Uncle, nice to meet you. I am Oliver. This is the first time that we meet, and I didn’t prepare anything valuable. These are gifts for you. I had them brought back from America. Their color is fine.”
Elaine dared not to look at her father. She just kept her head lowered and rubbed her shoes onto the ground. She was waiting for her father to get furious and beat her with his shoes.
Bruno was shorter than Oliver by a head. He looked at Oliver’s shiny clothes and froze. Then he said stiffly,
“Come inside first!”
