Chapter 39

Soon, Lewis’s grandpa, Lewis’s grandma, Henry, and Janice all handed Doris a large amount of money.

Doris was a little overwhelmed. Was this some kind of family tradition?

“Once you’re married, you get money from us. Just take it.” Janice grabbed Doris‘ hand and placed the envelope in her palm.

Doris felt reluctant to accept the money.

“What about mine?” Lewis asked, pretending to be displeased.

“Sorry, you don’t get any.” Janice asked back.

Janice didn’t even try to hide her favoritism.

Doris secretly felt pleased when she saw Lewis being teased by his mom.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Lewis went to answer it.

At the door, Laura was holding Arianna by the hand, with wine and fruit in the other.

“Come on in!” Lewis helped take the items from her hands.

Laura entered with Arianna, following Lewis into the living room.

Doris stood up, walked over to Laura, and introduced her to the Hartman family.

“Ari, say hello,” Laura reminded her daughter.

“Hi everyone! I’m Arianna, you can call me Ari,” Arianna said sweetly and confidently.

“Such a good child,” everyone in the Hartman family praised her.

“Ari, you should congratulate Lewis,” said Laura.

Arianna looked at Lewis. “Congratulations, Lewis.”

“Good girl.” Lewis patted her head. “Wait for me a moment.”

Lewis took a box from under the coffee table and squatted down in front of Arianna. “Ari, it’s our first official meeting. This is a gift for you. Do you like it?”
