Chapter 269 - Necktie (2/2)
Grandma Shen immediately smiled. He called her grandma!! That means good stuff. The young man is strong and not afraid. And seeing his tight drip on Lena's waist... he was not going to let her slid off from his side.
”What's his name again?” Grandpa Shen went close to Lena and asked.
”It's Kris.”
”Kris!” He grunted. ”When can I just call him your husband?!”
Madam Li and Grandma Shen laughed.
”Grandpa... if you can't remember his name, then you won't be seeing any of my kids any time soon to remember their names also.” Lena seriously spoke.
”I know his name! It Ken!”
”It's Kris.”
”I said Kris.”
”Grandpa can call me whatever he wants to, it won't change who I am.” Kris replied and smiled at the old man.
Grandpa Shen cleared his throat again and tapped his cane stern on the ground.
Shen Ma and Shen Mo saw that Kris also arrived so they went to introduce themselves. Aunt Ma also introduced herself. Lena's parents were also there.
”Where are the triplets?”
”Kevin took them to change their clothes.” Aunt Ma replied. ”They already made a mess.”
”You stay here and I will go get us something to drink.” Lena told Kris.
”Juice for you,” Kris said. He saw that Lena already had a glass before so he did not want her to drink more than that. He knew she can drink more, but it doesn't mean she should continue to keep drinking.
”Yes.” Lena patted his shoulder and left him with her gang of families.
Once Lena left, her uncles did not stop asking Kris questions. How the Li company was? Does he work out? How many cars does he have? They made sure to not ask anything about Lena and them because they knew both of them had enough of those already.
Kris immediately replied to all the questions like he was in a meeting. Short, stern, and complete.
When Lena returned, she joined her family for a few for conversation. Everyone knew that Kris would be joining the Shen family in their outing tomorrow so they had him for the whole day tomorrow to ask him more questions.
After a while, everyone sat down in tables and Shen Mao went up and talked. A few other representatives went up and talked before dinner arrived. After dinner, it was a small party of dancing and more chit-chat.
It was not until then that the triplets made their appearance.
They saw Lena dancing with Kris. They all waited in a single line, waiting for the dance to end.
”Me next!” Jonah spoke, as he was the first one in line. He saw that Kris and Lena were going to dance again. ”You have to wait in line, bro.”
Kris glared at the three little kids and they all glared at him back.
”Kris... meet the kids, Jonah, John, and Joel.”
”Hi.” Kris greeted them.
The triplets avoided him. ”We waited in line for you, can we please go next.” They all said.
”Fine... but only one dance per person.” Lena spoke.
”Yes!” They all saluted Lena.
Lena shook her head and held Jonah's hand. ”Kris, you can stay with these two.”
”Stay?” Kris looked at the two devil children. Devil's are not meant to stay together.
”Yeah, just remember what I told you last time.”
”I thought that was a joke.”
Lena just smiled and went to the dance floor with Jonah. Because he was short, she just held his hands and they danced like that.
As Lena was dancing, John and Joel forced Kris to be at the back of the line, saying there is no cutting in line.
Kris did not know what ”Cutting in line” meant.
They two of them were whispering but it was a loud whispering so Kris could hear every single word they were saying.
”You think he is a big bad wolf?”
”But Mommy Lena says he's not.”
”He's a big bad wolf... look at him.”
They both stopped and looked up at Kris. Kris also looked down at them. They went back to whispering.
”See... he doesn't smile. He's like those people who kidnap kids.”
”Do you think he will kidnap Mommy Lena?”
”We will beat him up tomorrow. Jonah says we can.”
Kris was confused. First, why do they call Lena, Mommy Lena... and second of all, he does not know how to feel when he hears little kids are going to beat him up tomorrow. In his usual self, he would kill them.
But he feels like that's not how normal people react to this type of situation. He went to his pocket and pulled out some candy.
”Do you want some candy?” Kris asked them.
They stopped whispering again and looked at the candies in his hand.
”Candy Andy never gave us candy.”
'Candy Andy....' Kris wanted to laugh. What name will he be getting? ”Well, Candy Andy is a douch*.”
”Yes!” Both of them agreed and took the candy from Kris' hand. They opened it, stuffed the wrappers to their pockets, and popped the candy into their mouths.
