“Huh, I was actually planning to come up and wake you, but I didn't expect you to be up so early.”
Jennifer was surprised to see Donald standing alone at the study door.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat, knowing that Geraldine and Hannah were still sleeping in the room.
In order to prevent Jennifer from entering the study, Donald took the initiative to intercept her.
“Why are you up so early? Don't you know that waking up early can greatly affect the baby in your belly?”
Jennifer gave Donald an eye-roll and said, “My parents are already waiting downstairs. Do you think I have the luxury to sleep in?”
“Mom and Dad came over so early? What's going on that's so important?”
As Jennifer led Donald downstairs, she said, “Remember I told you about a relative of ours? He's the son of my father's second uncle, named Friedrich. We never really had any contact before, but they recently accompanied my second uncle back to our family mausoleum. The sight of it stirred up my uncle's emotions, and he insisted on gathering all the descendants of the Wilson family together, saying there's strength in numbers. You know how my dad is, right? He's fine with everything else, but he really cares about appearances. So, when my uncle's son offered to have us stay at their place for a while, my dad insisted on bringing you along, no matter what.”
Hearing Jennifer say this, Donald immediately let out a sigh.
He had always disliked this kind of thing.
Jennifer knew Donald's temperament, so upon seeing him sigh like that, she quickly pouted and said to him, “Darling, don't be like this. It's not like it's easy for my parents to refuse. After all, my dad is also a descendant of the Wilson family. It's not like he can really cut off all family ties.”
Donald reached out and pinched Jennifer's nose, saying, “Family affection, huh? I think you just want to show off. Well, well, since you don't see any problem, then, of course, I don't see any problem either.”
“My husband is the best!”
Jennifer gave Donald a kiss on his cheek, and the two of them went straight down to the living room on the first floor.
Leonard and Linda had already dressed up in their beautiful clothes. Upon seeing Donald descend the stairs, they quickly stood up.
“We're truly sorry, Donald, for waking you up so early. We feel really bad about it. However, the place we're heading to today is quite far. If we don't set off early, we might not make it in time for lunch there.”
