When I stepped out of the house, Nora lowered her sunglasses and said, “Your dressing today makes you look like a virtuous woman. It’s basically the ideal outfit to wear to meet your partner’s family for the first time. When I have to meet Mr. Murphy in the future, I’ll use your dress as a reference.”

When I got into the car, I could not help but laugh. “I just tied up my hair, put on a dress, and did some light makeup. How does it make me look virtuous?”

She started the car as she said, “You don’t understand. Many elderly folks like girls like you, who look neat, gentle, and quiet because they look like good wives.”

Noticing the antique tea set and premium tea in the back, she said, “You already know what Grandpa likes after only meeting him once. No wonder the old Mr. Fuller picked you to marry his grandson!”

I smiled. “If I told you that I was just lucky, would you believe me?”

She nodded, then bobbed her head to the rhythm of the music that was playing. She replied loudly, “Of course, I believe you!”

 

All along the way, the music was upbeat. I had already been in a good mood, and listening to rock music only made me feel even better.

Channing stood with his walking stick at the gates of the villa, seemingly having waited for a long time.

When he saw Nora’s car approach, he could not hide his happiness as he walked down the stairs to welcome her.

As soon as she parked the car, Nora got off and ran toward Channing to hug him. She said playfully, “Grandpa, didn’t I say that you should just wait at home? I know how to drive in. It’s cold at night. What if you catch a cold?”
