Chapter 221 - Meeting The Parents (1/2)

While the family was laughing at the child's honest mistake, the doorbell suddenly rang. The housekeeper opened the door and let the guests in. It was Halia's father and Jeremy's parents. Everyone was there to see Natalie's fiance.

”It's nice to see you again, Sean,” Father Feng smiled as he shook the man's hand.

”It's nice to see you too,” Sean responded politely. ”Halia, told me to bring something for you. I'll give it to you later.”

Father Feng nodded but suddenly realized something, ”If you're here, Sean, does that mean my daughter is working on her own?”

Mother Shu heard this conversation and looked at Father Feng with curiosity. ”Are you talking about Haili? Do they know each other?”

”Sorry Auntie, I didn't get a chance to answer you earlier. I actually work with Halia,” Sean explained.

At that moment, Father Du interrupted, ”What work do you do?”

Mother Du eyed the man up and down, ”You're quite good-looking. Are you an actor or a model?”

”If you are an actor or a model, you mustn't be a famous one. I've never seen you before. Do you even make money?” Mother Shu suddenly joined in.

Sean laughed awkwardly and looked to Natalie for help. But, Natalie simply shrugged her shoulders as she watched him getting swamped with questions from all sides.

Poor Sean.

While other men stressed about meeting one set of parents, he was practically meeting three!

”OK, everyone, let me answer one question at a time,” Sean said as he took a deep breath.

He then looked at Father Feng, ”Uncle, Halia is doing fine on her own and I trust her 100%. She will still be reporting to me every day and I have contact with backup if she needs it, so you have nothing to worry about.”

After that, he looked at Mother Du and Mother Shu, ”Aunties, I am not an actor nor a model. In fact, my job is not in the limelight at all. But, I do get a decent salary.”

Finally, he turned to Father Du, ”I work for the government in the national security sector.”

”National security?” Father Du said with skepticism. ”Old Feng, when did your daughter work in national security?”

Father Feng looked at the man proudly, but he knew it was best to keep his daughter's identity vague, ”There are a lot of things about my daughter that you don't know about.”

”National security...” Father Du scoffed. ”Do you just sit at a computer all day taking tax-payers' money? National security...What about my daughter-in-law's security? Do you have what it takes to keep Natalie safe?”

At that moment, Mother Du grabbed onto her husband, ”Our daughter-in-law can protect herself, old man. As long as he remains handsome and doesn't embarrass Natalie, that's all that matters.”

She then walked over to the young man and ran her fingers across his face. ”Such perfect skin, it's a shame that you're not a model...” she smiled approvingly.

”Well, money matters too!” Mother Shu suddenly cut in. ”A government job is stable and well-paying. How long have you been doing that job for?” she asked with interest.

”It will be 10 years this year,” Sean replied calmly.

Mother Shu's eyes lit up. 10 years in a government job. This man must have a lot of savings.

For the first time that day, she finally looked at Sean with approval.

”I don't care about looks and money. I care about safety,” Father Du groaned. He then launched forward towards Sean and tried to grab his neck.
