Chapter 206
Unexpectedly, I gained her sincerity, and I felt a bit flustered in my heart. She seemed to sense it. "What's wrong with you?"
I looked at her and said, "I will definitely treat you well, definitely!"
She smiled. "I believe you. Even if you are lying to me, please keep lying to me, okay?"
I nodded. At this moment, silence was better than words, and I responded warmly.
After being intimate in the room for half an hour, I finally stopped, of course, without any actions beyond the limits.
"I have something to do tonight, so I won't have dinner here."
Lucy asked, "Are you coming over tonight?"
"Where am I going to stay?"
Lucy blushed. "You can sleep in my room, on the floor!"
I got her hint. "Okay. I'll come over later."
Back in the car, I felt heavy in my heart. I even asked myself if it was worth it.
But after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't conclude.
If I coveted her body and heart, then I must bear some consequences. I was not a scumbag who played with emotions. If I were, with my current capital, changing women every day would be easy.
I could even drive my Bentley to the university, take a spin, and pick up a few, guaranteeing no repeats every day. But I wanted something else.
I drove to a high-end gift shop and selected high-end red wine, cigarettes, and supplements.
Then I went to a jewelry store and bought some gifts for Marry Walker's mother and two bouquets of flowers, one carnation and one red rose.
The last time I went to Lillian Allen's house, I forgot about Lillian Allen, and I absolutely couldn't make the same mistake again.
This little shopping spree set me back another three thousand dollars.
Marry Walker was also my official girlfriend, so I naturally couldn't be stingy with her family.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, as the sun set, I arrived at Marry's house. It was different from what I had imagined as a grand mansion. Their house was in a normal old neighborhood.
The neighborhood environment was quite good, and as soon as I drove in, I saw Edward Walker and Marry Walker standing there waiting for me. They were too polite.
As I drove up, they didn't notice me at first. When I rolled down the window, they were both surprised.
"John, why are you driving a Bentley?" Marry Walker asked, surprised.
I parked the car and explained, "It was a gift from George and Charles. They were too enthusiastic, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept it."
Edward Walker exclaimed, "Wow, a Bentley worth five hundred thousand dollars, and with your license plate, it wouldn't be less than two hundred thousand dollars."
I gave him a thumbs up. "you really know your stuff!"
Onside the trunk was full of gifts. Marry Walker walked over and said, "Why did you bring so many gifts?"
I quickly whispered, "It's my first time visiting my mother-in-law. How can I come empty-handed?"
Her face blushed, and she gave me a look. "Aren't you afraid my brother Edward will hear?"
"What shouldn't I hear?" Edward Walker walked over. "Wow, you brought so many things. John, you're too generous."
I smiled. "Just a small token of appreciation, nothing to fuss over."
"Alright then, I won't be polite with you." Edward Walker smiled and helped carry the things.
Inside Marry's house, the decorations were from over a decade ago, but they were now a bit outdated. The rooms were cozy and spotless.
"Dad, John Cena is here," Edward Walker called out.
Immediately, an older man in a shirt with black and white glasses stood up from the sofa. He was holding a newspaper, with half-black and half-white hair, looking dignified and handsome, like a man of taste. This was Edward Walker's father.
"Hello, John, welcome to our home!" Marry's father came over with a smile.
I quickly extended my hand. "Hello! Uncle."
"Come and have a seat. I've wanted to invite you to our home for a while, but it's been delayed until now. I'm really sorry." He held my hand with a hint of apology on his face.
"No, no. it’s me who should be apologizing. As the younger one, I should have come to visit you sooner. My lack of manners is the real embarrassment,” I said, scratching my head sheepishly.
Marry's father chuckled. "Come and sit down. Marry, go to my study and bring out the coffee I've been saving."
"Okay!" Marry Walker's face lit up, and she hurried into the study.
At that moment, a woman in her forties or fifties wearing an apron emerged from the kitchen. She exuded grace and charm, and even the apron couldn't hide her elegance. She bore a resemblance to Marry Walker and must have been a stunning beauty in her youth.
"Come and meet the benefactor of our Walker family." Marry's father beckoned.
I had just sat down when I quickly stood up and said, "Hello, aunt. It's my first time visiting, and I didn't know what you like, so I brought these carnations for you."
Marry's mother smiled as she accepted the flowers. "You didn’t need to bring anything."
"It’s the least I could do." I said.
I thought to myself. 'You are my future mother-in-law. Who else should I please if not you?'
"We haven't properly thanked you for saving Marry before. We feel ashamed."
"Please, aunt, there’s no need to say that," I hurriedly said. "If helping others is for repayment, then it changes the nature of being a hero. Besides, these days, Edward has helped me a lot, and Marry has been very helpful, too. I feel like I've gained more than I've given, and I've been wondering how to thank you."
"You're quite a polite young man," Marry’s mother said with a warm smile.
At that moment, Marry Walker came out with tea. "Here, have some coffee!"
I quickly stood up to take the cup.
Marry's mother said, "You guys chat first. Dinner will be ready soon."
"I'll help my mom!" Marry said, leaving me alone with her father.
As Marry Walker left, I suddenly felt a bit awkward, especially with Marry's father staring at me, giving me the feeling of a father-in-law scrutinizing his son-in-law.
"Have some coffee. This coffee was given to me by an old friend. You can't buy it outside," Marry’s father said.
Edward Walker chuckled. "John, I'm really relying on you today. Normally, my dad wouldn't bring this out at all, only for esteemed guests like you. I'm also benefiting from your presence!"
I smiled but didn't say anything. Marry's father said, "John is our distinguished guest. Who else should drink this coffee if not him?"
Edward Walker smiled helplessly, picked up his cup, and took a sip. "You can give it all to him. I have no objections."
We chatted for a while, and Marry's father asked me many questions, such as how many people are in my family and what my parents do, which I answered honestly.
When he heard that I had my own company, he immediately said, "You should support John more. Without his help this time, you wouldn’t have the face to call yourself Mr. Gonzalez anymore."
Edward nodded. "Hey, John is like my own brother. If I don't help him, who will?"
Marry's father looked at me with satisfaction. "John, over the years, I've seen many young talents, and you can definitely rank in the top three. You’re humble, not arrogant, and you don’t boast about your achievements. Keep it up, and you will achieve great things in the future!"
Being praised like this made me quite happy. Before retiring, Marry's father was also a prominent figure in Sevan City, and although he was now semi-retired, he still had influence.
