While the people on this side were sleeping, the other side had already exploded. Because Edward came back late from work last night, he did not share Chris' matter with Rose immediately.
It was not shared until he woke up in the morning. After listening to it, Rose happily said that it had been a long time since she had heard such great gossip. With the thought that happiness needed to be spread, she began to share this story.
This information was shared with Sherri, Natalie, and Ava before breakfast.
Sherri, who received the message, was shocked. She sent Rose eight question marks in a row. [What? Why don't I know? It's like I was isolated from the world.]
Natalie already knew about it, so she was not shocked. Trevon also shared this matter with her the moment he returned home yesterday. She replied Rose, [Chris not only bumped into Edward yesterday but also bumped into Trevon.]
After reading Natalie's message, Rose understood. It turned out that many people already knew. Fortunately, she was not the last to know.
Rose replied Sherri, [I just found out too. Are you surprised? Chris actually secretly fell in love. He has been a bachelor for a thousand years.]
Ava texted, [I saw them with Frank during supper one day, but Chris and Leia probably had just gotten together at that time, so I didn't dare to tell anyone.]
Rose replied Ava, [Good lord, so it's been so long.]
When Chris woke up, he saw Hackett's messages in the men's group chat. He counted the messages silently. All 28 of them were sent by Hackett alone. The next messages were from Frank and Trevon teasing him.
Chris didn't want to reply to any of them. Could these people not care about him so much? How did it feel to have a group of friends who cared about him? They cared about him but teased him at the same time. He couldn't keep a low profile at all.
Chris methodically did things. In the morning, he told Leia that he would be responsible, and the next moment, he already made the arrangements for the night and brought her home for dinner.
Angie and Stella were the happiest. Angie was grinning from ear to ear, while Stella was chattering happily without stopping.
Charlie was also very happy. He greeted Leia warmly and told Leia to not be restrained.
"Come, Leia, don't stand on ceremony. Eat. Make yourself at home. It's the Yamin family's blessing that you like Chris."
Leia finally understood what Christina meant when she said that her brother's status in the family was very low. So that was really the case. "Mrs. Yamin, Chris is quite good."
Angie was so happy that her eyes crinkled, and she kept nodding. She kept looking at Leia and sizing her up. She was extremely satisfied with Leia. "As long as you think he's good. Hurry up and eat. Don't stand on ceremony."
Stella, on the other hand, looked up at her brother and his girlfriend from time to time. The more she looked at them, the more compatible they became. Her brother was actually capable enough to win Leia. Stella could be scolded less in the future.
Little did she know that Leia had a clear distinction between work and private life, and the exception was only given to Chris. If Stella did anything wrong in the company, she would still be criticized.
Angie took a bite of food. She felt uncomfortable if she did not say what she was thinking about out loud. "Leia, let me tell you something. It might seem a little early to you, but this is the Yamin family's rule. The rule was set by the Yamin family's ancestors. Men have to be responsible until the end when they do something. There are no scumbags allowed in the Yamin family. Do you understand this?"
Stella thought, 'Was there such a thing as a scumbag in ancient times? Our ancestors could make rules for modern life?'
Leia seemed to understand Angie's words. Chris was also looking forward to Leia's answer. "Mrs. Yamin, are you talking about our marriage?"
Angie nodded. She liked how smart her future daughter-in-law was. Strong women were indeed different. It was not difficult for Angie to communicate with her, unlike her son and daughter who could not grasp the main point even after she talked for a long time.
Leia put down her cutlery. This action made everyone present nervous. The next second, she smiled and said politely, "I've already told my parents about me and Chris today."
As soon as she finished speaking, Angie heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. Do the in-laws object?" If they did, she had to talk to them personally.
Leia shook her head, indicating that her parents did not object. Their expectations were very low. As long as their daughter was happy, it was fine.
As the head of the family, Charlie had to make a statement at this time. Other than being his future daughter-in-law, Leia was also a manager in the company. "Leia, ask your parents when they are free. I'll go visit them with Angie."
Leia replied, "Okay, Mr. Yasmin."
After the meal, Leia politely bid farewell to Angie and Charlie. Chris consciously followed after Leia. After trying it once, Chris did not want to stay alone in an empty room. He eagerly followed Leia to another villa.
Angie couldn't wait for her son to not come home. It would be great if she could have a grandson and a granddaughter. She would be so happy that she couldn't sleep at night.
A few days later, Chris and Angie followed Leia and Chris to visit the March family in Sapphire City. Leia's parents were honest people, the kind of people who were diligent and down-to-earth.
While Charlie and Angie were discussing the marriage, Christina and Joseph also rushed over. The group sat in the living room and discussed the marriage.
Julian and Daria March had long heard from their daughter about the Yamin family's background. At that time, they also felt that the Yamin family's background was too high. However, when they met the Yamin family, they relaxed.
Julian said, "Leia is our baby. You probably know that we are from Athana originally, but our house is not in the city. Daria and I were worried about Leia going to school and working alone, so we moved around with her. In the end, we moved to Sapphire City. The two of us only have one thought. As long as Leia is happy, anything is fine."
"In terms of family background, there's a gap between the March family and the Yamin family. If you think that Leia is not worthy of your family one day, tell us in advance. She's our treasure. We can't tolerate others despising her."
Leia tried her best to not cry and turned around. For so many years, her parents had been moving with her. They moved to this city and then to that city. They could not bear to let her stay on campus, afraid that she would not be able to eat well and take good care of herself.
Chris noticed the emotions of the woman beside him and put his arm around her shoulder. Angie gestured for his silly son to express his opinion. Chris said, "Mr. and Mrs. March, nothing like what you said will happen. If someone is going to be despised one day, it won't be Leia. It will be me."
Everyone laughed when he said that.
