This was not the first time that Olivia had met Sam's parents, and she often chatted with Emma through social media. Emma treated her well, so Olivia did not feel awkward in her presence.
Thus, when the parents from both sides were going to meet, Olivia was not nervous.
That was because she had considered everyone to be part of the same family.
However, Sam thought otherwise. Unlike Olivia, he did not chat with her parents often. He had only met them once or twice at most. Moreover, this was a formal meeting. Therefore, although his expression did not show it, he was actually very nervous and awkward.
In the VIP room of the hotel.
Both Olivia's parents and Sam's parents were chatting happily.
Brenda and Emma were very similar to each other in personality. Both of them were talkative. They also had similar hobbies as they loved beauty and were willing to spend money on it. They brought gifts for each other as soon as they met.
Brenda took out a bracelet that she had kept carefully for many years, while Emma showed her a family heirloom pendant. Both parties knew about jewelry, hence, their personality clicked well.
The two of them hit it off immediately. They chatted away enthusiastically, leaving the two men staring at each other.
Sam's father, Marcus, stroked the stubble on his chin and looked up at Karl who was next to him, "Come, have a drink."
Marcus had a knack for drinking. Because he was not good with words, he couldn't start a proper conversation with Karl, so all he did was ask him to drink.
Karl seldom drank because Brenda didn't like him drinking too much, but that day was a special occasion so he didn't refuse. The two men quickly clinked glasses.
As the alcohol started to sink in, both men started to warm up and began to chat with each other.
However, as the two men had just begun their conversations, the mothers had already progressed towards the talk of marriage.
"Sam is slightly slow in the relationship part as he had never dated in the past. Thus, he can be as stiff as a board sometimes. My dear in-law, please don't mind him! I will teach him in the future."
Brenda waved her hand and said, "It's fine!
Besides, never having a girlfriend shows that he values his career. As for my Ollie, she is slightly bad- tempered and can be quite introvert sometimes. She rarely goes out to socialize with others, so I couldn't believe she actually found a boyfriend."
"Ollie is so good. She is beautiful, lovely, and also adorable. If our Sorrento family can have such a daughter-in-law, it will be our blessing!"
Brenda looked at Emma when she heard this. She realized that Emma must really like Ollie, and they were close.
"Dear in-law, do you have any beauty secrets?"
"What's that?"
"Look at how well you've taken care of yourself. There aren't any wrinkles on your face, but you're actually Ollie's mother. If you were to say that you're her sister, I wouldn't be suspicious at all!"
"No, no, no," Brenda was so happy that she kept smiling, "You still look young. Young women in their teens don't have such good skin as you!"
After hearing her praise, Emma also beamed happily.
When the two men overheard their conversation, they couldn't help but turn around and look at their women. They were amused at how the two women with wrinkles on their faces still managed to say opposite words.
What were they to do?
They were their wives.
With a smile, Emma said, "My in-law, since we met today, I'll ask you directly. When will the wedding of Ollie and Sam be held?"
