Chapter 11 Changing The Way She Called Them
- Seraphina hesitated for a while and finally said, “Mom, Dad.”
- Although her voice was not loud, Guillaume, Constance, and Lucien could hear her clearly.
- “Yes, my dear.”
- Seeing how things had turned out, Constance had no choice but to accept Seraphina. Well, at least she's pretty. Looking at her gorgeous appearance, I do feel less resentful.
- Meanwhile, Guillaume gave Seraphina a slight nod. Whether he was willing to acknowledge her or not, she had greeted him, after all, so he responded out of respect.
- Moreover, even if the Hoult family had fallen, they used to have a close relationship. There was no need to make things awkward.
- Moments later, Guillaume and Constance took out the wedding gift they had prepared beforehand.
- Of course, a prestigious family like the Riviere family would be lavish in their expenditure.
- Constance took out a black card and stuffed it into Seraphina's hand.
- “This card is a little something from us.”
- Hearing that, Seraphina cast a brief look at Lucien, and the latter shot her a glance, indicating that she should accept it.
- Hence, she did not refuse and nodded. “Thank you.”
- “Have a seat.” In actuality, Guillaume and Constance did not have any prejudice against Seraphina. It was just that the incident happened too suddenly.
- They had attended the wedding between the Salisbury family and the Hoult family empty-handed, but when they returned home, they suddenly had a daughter-in-law.
- Kidnapping the Salisbury family's daughter-in-law was indeed pretty unacceptable, not to mention the perpetrator was their precious son, Lucien.
- Seraphina nodded and sat on the opposite couch in a dignified and elegant posture.
- Lucien scrutinized her from head to toe and realized that she did not look like a girl in her early twenties.
- On the contrary, she looked rational and mature, and a person of that age should not be that level-headed.
- “Lucien has told us everything about you and him. This happened too suddenly, so my wife and I weren't mentally prepared for it. But since we've acknowledged you as our daughter-in-law, we'll treat you well. Besides, our families are old acquaintances. We'll hold the wedding ceremony in the near future. Constance and I only have a son. Our only hope is for both of you to live in peace and harmony.”
- Guillaume was a sensible man. After all, he was a prominent figure and had experienced all kinds of situations before.
- In fact, it was normal for him to give himself airs, but he did not.
- After all, the more powerful the man, the more humble and polite he is.
- His words had shown how much he respected Seraphina and the Hoult family.
- Listening to that, Seraphina let out a sigh of relief. She thought that her in-laws were pretty easy to get along with.
- “Dad, there's no need to hold a wedding. I always think that marriage is between two people. This incident has already caused a commotion. I don't want our families to be in the spotlight, so I think it's better to keep a low profile. We'll discuss the wedding if there's a chance for that in the future.”
- Lucien was a little surprised, as he did not expect Seraphina to be so assertive.
- As a matter of fact, he was pretty satisfied with her idea because he was not a flamboyant person like Denver.
- Even though both of them were the heir of a wealthy family, Denver was ostentatious while Lucien was humble.
- Denver enjoyed being in the news headlines. On the contrary, Lucien committed himself to work and only played basketball or did things he liked occasionally.
- Hearing Seraphina's words, Guillaume and Constance exchanged glances.
- “All right, then. We'll do as you say.”
- After having a short chat in the living room, Seraphina and Lucien went upstairs to rest.
- As soon as they entered the bedroom, she handed the black card to him.
- “What are you doing?” He fixated his eyes on her, and a smile crept on his face.
