Chapter 462: The Engagement Party. (1/2)

The party did not have too many people and only had people that were close to the two families, so there weren't that many unfamiliar faces. Hellen immediately whisked the couple away, and she took them to where Diane was standing with her son.

”You came?” Jen said in surprise as she went to hug her little brother. She had asked him to attend but only replied vaguely, so she assumed that he wouldn't be able to come. Seeing him now, she felt a bit emotional and a big smile graced her face.

”I had to surprise you,” Jake said with a chuckle. The smiles of the two siblings were very similar, even though Jake had his mother's eyes and hair.

”Mmmh,” Jen responded and furiously blinked her eyes as she pulled away from him. She didn't catch a breath before her own mother pulled her in for a hug. It wasn't casually and Jen felt the weight of that hug as she had seen her mother's expression earlier.

When she separated from her, her mother's eyes had reddened a bit and Lucas only stood next to Jen with a warm smile. He had only been away from home for two months, but he had really missed his family.

His mother had almost jumped into his arms when she saw him earlier that day. He could imagine how it was with Jen who had exiled herself away from home, felt now that her whole family was standing in front of her.

What he had not expected was for Diane to also pull him into a hug. Lucas was a bit flustered but did not show it in his expression. Only Diane felt him stiffen after she had surprised him.

”Take care of each other in the future. Remember, we are all a family,” Diane said before releasing Lucas and smiled at him. Lucas felt like he was being blinded by her.

”Call me mother in the future,” Diane said and patted the side of his arm. Jake (the low-key mama's boy) resumed his position next to his mother.

”Yes, I will mother,” Lucas said smoothly, and the happiness in Diane's eyes was almost tangible.

”When will you call me mother?” Hellen whispered at Jen, and her cheeks slightly reddened, making her laugh in amusement.

”From today… mother,” Jen said, and even though the mother was not very audible, Hellen felt ecstatic.

”Don't just stand there come here,” Hellen said to her husband who was watching his wife with indulgence filled in his eyes. She pulled him over and encouragingly looked at Jen. Jen looked at Noah and for once he did not look detached. It was like he had begun fully embracing her as a part of his family.

”Don't be intimidated by his frozen expression, he has always wanted a daughter,” Hellen said and pointedly looked at Lucas who had been her last hope.

Lucas felt that it was unfair. The one who looked the most like a daughter was not him! James who was on the other side of the room sneezed, not knowing that his youngest brother thought that he should have been the daughter of the Lewis family.

”Father,” Jen said in a small voice and resisted the urge to bury her face in Lucas's face to hide. Why was she crossing so many boundaries today? Does this mean she also gained two brothers as well?

”Mh,” Noah responded, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips. Anyone could tell that he was in a good mood and liked this potential daughter-in-law. He felt Hellen nudge his side and his smile grew wider as he looked down at his wife.
