Chapter 215 - All Over (1/2)

Natalie walked up to a beautiful villa with Pumpkin by her side and knocked on the door.

”Grandmama, Grandpapa, open the door!” little Pumpkin cried in excitement.

Jeremy's parents hadn't seen their grandchild since he returned from Macau, so they were also excited to see him.

As soon as they opened the door, they wrapped their arms lovingly around the little child and kissed him all over.

The little boy giggled, ”Your beard tickles, Grandpapa!”

The roughly 40-year-old man chuckled and carried the little boy into the house.

Meanwhile, Jeremy's mother looked at Natalie with curiosity, ”So...how was Macau?”

Natalie smiled, ”It was good. We had a lot of fun.”

Her eyes then darted awkwardly as she tried to think of how she'd announce her sudden engagement.

Sheree Du was roughly in her 40's but she was beautiful for her age and maintained a strict skincare routine, so when she stood next to Natalie, she looked more like her sister than her mother-in-law. When she was young, she was actually a famous runway model and she had walked for many big fashion shows all around the world. Thus, she was very stylish, modern and open-minded.

”Now that you're back, how about attending the blind date I arranged for you? Don't lie to me, I know you ran away to Macau to avoid it...” Mother Du said with suspicion.

Natalie sighed and shook her head, ”I don't...”

But, before she finished her sentence, Mother Du cut in, ”He's the son of one of my model girlfriend's. He's super hot and he's half-Brazilian! Like, come on! How could you say no?”

Natalie rolled her eyes and placed her hand to her forehead.

Every time Mother Du met with Mother Shu, she was always proper and polite. Even after all these years, she had never revealed her true self to her in-laws. So, Mother Shu had no idea that Mother Du was so carefree and open-minded.

As Natalie lifted her hand, a sparkly diamond ring twinkled in the afternoon sun and caught Mother Du's eyes. She immediately looked at it and squealed, ”What's this ring??!!”

Natalie blushed a little as Mother Du grabbed her hand to examine the ring that Sean had given her.

She then cleared her throat and said, ”I met someone. He's a good man with a kind heart that I really like. Pumpkin likes him too...”

”Babe, is this an engagement ring?” Mother Du cut in without listening to the back story. She was impatient and just wanted to get straight to the point.

Natalie laughed awkwardly and nodded her head. This mother-in-law was always so unpredictable.
