Chapter 018
After a few seconds of pause, he got serious again and said softly, "I came to tell you one thing, I will take you back to the old house this Saturday, grandma wants to see you." "Grandma?"
Lucia had only heard of August's grandmother from Ms. Mitchell's mouth before, and the matchmaking had been discussed between Ms. Mitchell and August's grandmother at first. Only they hadn't met yet.
Now that August suddenly said that her grandmother wanted to meet her, she had a bit indefinable nervousness.
"Well, when Grandma heard we got married with a license, she told me to bring you back as soon as possible 'so she could take a look."
Lucia's two hands clasped together, "But I ........ ". I was not ready, she said in her
heart.
Before the words were finished, she thought of the scene of August accompanying Professor Mitchell on his birthday a few days ago. And she could not say the words that had been on her lips to refuse.
In any case, now she and August were also legally recognized as a legal couple, if she squirmed and refused to meet the elders, it was not reasonable.
Lucia raised her eyes to August and she said softly, "I'll go with you."
August nodded slightly, "Good, please rest early." After saying these words, the man turned around and he walked straight out of the room.
The moment the door was closed, Lucia's tension was released in an instant, and she was anxiously spinning in place.
She hadn't even been in love a few times, let alone met the parents. And this time they were August's parents who she was going to meet, so how could she not be nervous!
Since she was going to meet his parents, she must to bring some gifts to show her sincerity. But she couldn't pick a gift at all!
Lucia, who was completely out of ideas, was so anxious in the room. And finally she had no choice but to pick up her cell phone and she called her best friend in England.
"Hello, Paula!"
Paula Thomas' voice came from the other end of the phone with a bit of surprise, "Lucia? Why are you calling me at this time?"
"A thousand miles of emergency! Don't ask anything else. Tell me first, if you need to visit the elders, such as your grandmother, what is the appropriate gift?"
"Grandma?" Paula was confused, "What grandmother You're not going to visit a nursing home for the elderly for your overflowing love, are you?"
"I'm serious, it's ....... "
Lucia's voice paused, and she swallowed back the word "husband".
Paula has been abroad to study music, they had not seen each other for nearly half a year. Recently she quickly received a certificate, but she was not able to tell her in time.
If Paula knew that she had become a married girl one step ahead of her, she was afraid that she would fly back from the United States to ask questions.
This matter, maybe it was better that she told her in person when she returned home.
hurriedly said, "She is a friend's
