Chapter 321 Jealousy
Geoffrey hollered, "Eula, let's get inside already!"
Eula finally snapped out of her daze, shot him a look, and nodded.
The crew headed back to the main building. David was still MIA, and everyone got all hyped up.
"Eula, you're back! Come sit!"
"Mr. Hopkins, grab a seat."
Geoffrey gave a slight nod and plopped down on the couch with Eula.
This year, the Lowe fam was all together, pretty solid.
Isabella had always been Eula's shadow since she was a kid. Seeing her back for Christmas, she dashed over and squeezed in next to her.
"Eula, you're finally back. I missed you like crazy!"
She snuggled up to her, and Geoffrey, seeing their bond, grinned.
"Eula, who's this?"
He wanted to get to know the sisters who were tight with her, hoping they could look out for Eula down the line.
Geoffrey was genuinely good to Eula. Ever since that rainy night six years ago when he found her in a sorry state, he'd been there for her. Later, in the hospital, he personally took care of her.
So their bond was strong, but Shirley was always worried something might spark between him and Eula.
She kept stirring the pot, and Eula got Shirley's drift, so she always kept her distance from Geoffrey.
Plus, she wasn't about to marry into a family that had issues with her three kids. She picked Judson not just 'cause he was a looker and a catch.
More importantly, he and his fam never judged her or her kids.
That sealed the deal for her.
Isabella waved at him, "Brother-in-law, I'm Isabella Lowe, just call me Isabella."
Geoffrey was stoked to hear "brother-in-law" and beamed.
"Hey, Isabella!"
Tonight, he decided to give Isabella a gift; he was pumped to hear her call him brother-in-law.
Eula nudged her, "What are you calling him? Don't be so rude. From now on, call him Mr. Hopkins, got it?"
Isabella stuck her tongue out and made a goofy face.
"Eula, are you shy?"
Eula sighed, wanting to say her brother-in-law wasn't him. It was Judson.
But she didn't dare; she was too chicken in this regard.
After getting inside, the three kids bolted upstairs to find their great-grandpa. Fernando sat next to Melissa, and they were pretty stoked.
After all, it seemed their daughter was really gonna marry into the Nash family, which made them super happy as parents.
They didn't get the whole backstory.
But Kristina did. If she hadn't told Fernando to ask David to let Eula come home for Christmas, she wouldn't have had the chance to crash the Nash family Christmas. Even if she went herself, with Eula there, she'd just be a third wheel.
As long as Eula was with the Lowe family, she could thrive with the Nash family. After all, Robert liked her, and she had to latch onto someone for perks.
With Robert backing her, Judson couldn't kick her out, so she shamelessly went to the Nash family.
Eula whipped out her phone and shot a message to Judson.
[Judson, why is Kristina spending Christmas at your place? Did you invite her?]
Her tone was all accusatory, super ticked off.
After a bit, he replied: [You can bring Geoffrey to your place, why can't I let Kristina come over?]
Seeing this, Eula got totally bummed out, her face darkening.
She shoved her phone back in her bag, knowing he was pissed and starting to act up. It was really too much.
She pouted angrily, not wanting to say a word.
Geoffrey handed her a cup of tea, "Here, drink some water."
Seeing her sour face, he was trying to cheer her up.
Eula took it and glanced at him.
"Geoffrey, aren't you heading home for Christmas? Your family cool with this?"
