Chapter 13 Homecoming
- Seraphina grew anxious and refuted, “If you're not willing to move in with me, then our partnership will end here.”
- I listened to him and followed him here, not to mention that I even changed the way I addressed his parents. I've already given him so much respect. How could he say that he's marrying into my family when I said that I'm moving out? Is he insulting me? Everyone knows that the Hoult family has fallen now and can't be compared to the Riviere family. Did he say that to mock me?
- In actuality, she had really misunderstood Lucien. He only thought that it would be fun to tease her.
- Never had he expected her to get angry.
- When he realized that she was mad, he quickly apologized, “I'm just kidding. Look at you and your temper. I know about Miles Spring. It was developed by your family five years ago, and the mansions are designed in traditional style. I didn't expect you to like traditional design elements at such a young age. Anyway, I'm moving out with you. I've lived here long enough.”
- Lucien did not mind moving out from the Riviere residence.
- After all, they were already married, so staying anywhere was fine for him as long as they were together.
- Since she wants to live there, we'll move over then.
- Their conversation did not end on a good note. Shortly afterward, Seraphina decided to get some rest and ignored him.
- Just as she wanted to lie on the mattress on the floor, Lucien immediately lay on it.
- “What are you—”
- Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted, “I like to sleep on the floor. It's nice and cool.” Having said that, he closed his eyes.
- Seraphina was at a loss for words. What a thug! Didn't he say that he wanted to sleep on the bed? Why does he want to sleep on the floor now after I've laid the mattress?
- Infuriated, she got into bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, and turned off the lights without saying another word.
- It was her first time sleeping in the same room with a man. Fortunately, Lucien did not have any weird habits. Both of them were quiet and had a good night's sleep.
- The next day, Lucien went to work in the office for the whole day while Seraphina stayed at home.
- And in the blink of an eye, it was the third day after they got married.
- That morning, after having breakfast at the Riviere residence, they went to the Hoult residence with Peach.
- It was a traditional custom that the bride should bring her husband and gifts back to her parents' home to thank them for their care and kindness over the years on the third day of marriage.
- Seraphina had no special feelings for the Hoult family. The only person she cared about was Martha Tisdale, her grandmother.
- Soon, they arrived at the Hoult residence in a gold-colored Rolls-Royce.
- They had brought plenty of expensive gifts, such as white truffles, saffron, caviar, and some expensive supplements, all of which were prepared by Lucien.
- It was a very lively day at the Hoult residence. Knowing that Seraphina would be returning home, all her elder sisters had come back.
- As soon as he entered the house, Lucien saw everyone sitting in the living room.
- “We were just talking about you. You're here quite early,” uttered Seraphina's eldest sister, Shirley Hoult.
- She was also the current CEO of Hoult Group.
- Zachariah had handed over the company to his eldest and second daughter when he was hospitalized for cerebral infarction three years ago.
- “Hello, Shirley,” greeted Lucien.
- Shirley grinned. “Sera is so lucky. She was supposed to marry Denver, but such an incident happened. Luckily, everything ended well. I guess this is fate.”
- Obviously, there was a hidden meaning behind her words.
- Instead of feeling happy, Seraphina was disgusted by those words.
- “Where's Grandma?” Wearing a grimace, she ran her eyes over everyone's faces in the living room.
