Chapter 327 - I wont be late (1/2)
Shen Mao looked at her lovely daughter again. In just a short amount of time, his bratty daughter had already become such a m.a.t.u.r.e woman. An a.d.u.l.t who is already thinking independently and making a future of her own.
He knew that Lena had the talent to be a woman of power is she wanted to be one. But her true passion was always love, family, and her own dream.
”Are... you sure? If this is really what you want, as your father, I cannot deny you of your wishes.” He spoke.
”Dad...”
”My sweet child is all grown up now, huh. Just remember to visit us often, and be good.”
Shen Mao patted Lena's head and smiled at her.
The rest of the dinner was more relaxing and great bonding time between the two families. It was the very times where Lena saw Kris enjoying his time and not faking his happiness.
Shen Mao continued to bully Kris as much as he can while the old man still got the favors of his future son-in-law.
When it was time to leave, Lena bid her parents goodbye. Kris and Lena dropped of Madam Li at the mansion before they head back to their own place.
As they arrived home and got ready to go to bed, Kris squeezed Lena tightly into his arms. He softly breathed as he embraced her.
”I'll be away for a few days.” He finally spoke.
”What?” Lena replied in a somewhat annoyed voice. They were just talking about getting married and Kris was going to be gone...?
”I'll be back to sign the papers.”
”....” He makes it sound like it just signing papers.
As if he could read her mind, he let out a soft chuckle. ”It's not just papers.... it's the day we become husband and wife. It is not just a fancy official word between two people...”
”I demand a better reason for you not being here.”
Kris did not reply for a few seconds. ”I am meeting with my mother tomorrow. I don't know exactly how that will go, but it is something that needs to be done.”
”And that will take... three days?”
”So so.”
Lena did not like his half-a*ssed answer. ”I am not going to marry a man for him to be dead in less than a week. I don't mind becoming a divorcee but definitely not a widow.”
”Are you saying you are considering a divorce?”
”That's always an option. I am a pretty young woman. Even with a kid or two... I will still have men kissing my feet.”
”Ouch.” Kris laughed, but he knew his woman was just teasing him. ”I won't die that easily. I have to give you 6 kids and see every single of them get married. And besides... if I do just die after a week, you'll become one of the ric.h.e.s.t women in the world. Hmm.... or maybe I should consider a prenup?”
”I get to tease you but you can't do that to me.” Lena complained.
”Ahaha... I would never dare, my dear wife... ahaha.. But on the real topic, I promise I won't be late, ever, to any appointment we have.” Kris kissed the back of Lena's head. ”And if I ever do... you can make me stand outside for the entire night and sing you love songs on a microphone.”
Lena chuckled. ”Promise?”
”Promise.”
