Chapter 7 Thank You Mrs. Riley, For Giving Me A Home
Owen was annoyed and amused at the same time by this coquettish operation.
On the contrary, Max played with the empty bag in his hand. He raised his eyes, glanced at him, and directly asked, "Have you won the heart of your nephew's fiancee?"
Both of them grew up together with Curtis. They had a very close relationship, and they always knew there was someone in his heart.
This person happened to be his nephew's fiancee.
Usually when mentioning about this, Curtis would pull a long face.
But he was in a good mood today. He corrected, "She's now my wife."
"You won her heart?" Max took a foxy look at the smug Curtis.
"Yes" Curtis responded without changing his face expression.
Owen opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff two eggs in it, ...
Max slightly narrowed his eyes, and asked again, "Have you applied for the marriage certificate?"
"Yes." Then, Curtis solemnly took two marriage certificates out from the inner pocket of his suit, opened and placed them on the table.
Owen felt unbelievable. He wanted to reached out to pick up and have a look at it, but Curtis slapped it away before he could touch it.
Owen, ...
"Have you washed your hands? Don't touch my marriage certificate with your dirty hands."
Curtis warned him and gave him a cold look, then extremely preciously picked up two pieces of paper and showed one of them to both of them.
In just a few seconds, he carefully put the papers back into the inner pocket of his suit.
Owen, ...
"Is it necessary for you to treasure it this much?" While complaining, Owen even elbowed Max, "Hey, Max, don't you think this is too unreal?"
Max calmly took a puff of cigarette, "What's unreal? That woman was originally despised by Curtis's second sister-in-law, Victoria. She was also not favoured at home. It was not a decent in-law's family. Maybe Victoria contributed to this matter."
"That's right." Curtis raised his eyebrows and briefly explained the process.
Owen instantly widened his eyes, "You mean, Victoria bribed your opponent to drug you?"
Curtis slightly nodded.
"But aren't you very resistant to those drugs? You could bear ice baths and bloodletting before. You actually slept with her this time?" Owen spoke in a higher pitch.
Curtis made a mockery of himself and lifted the corners of his lips, "There's no cure after I touch her. Uncontrollable......"
The women he met before were those he did not like. He felt disgusted, so he could naturally control it.
But the self-control he was so proud of was defeated in just a moment in front of her.
Owen had never been in a relationship before, and he did not understand these things, but he still patted him on the shoulder with a tinge of emotion, and raised the wine glass in his hand to toast him.
"Brother, I'm truly happy for you. I thought you were going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life! Unexpectedly, you're the first to get married among three of us! Come on, brother, I wish you a happy wedding!"
Max also raised his wine glass, "Congratulations for getting what you want."
"Thank you." Curtis hold a sip of red wine in mouth, the corners of his lips curled up in joy, and solemnly said, "But there must be a gift. Today's gift is that we got our marriage certificates. When we hold the wedding ceremony later, you guys have to give me a big gift."
Max, ...
Owen, ...
"No, you're not having a shortage of money either! Is it necessary for you to request money from us as your wedding gift?" Owen valued money. It hurt him a bit when he thought of preparing red packets twice.
"It's true that I'm not having a shortage of money, but I'm happy to receive it as a gift from you guys." Curtis casually took off his glasses, revealing a pair of aggressive long eyes.
He did not bother to pretend himself in front of his own brothers.
"Then how much should be packed?" Owen tentatively asked. After all, it could not be too much, or too little. Who in the world knew his brother's standard.
"Eight thousand eight hundred, nine thousand eight hundred." Thinking of Adeline's expression on receiving money as a gift, the corners of Curtis's lips raised in joy again.
"That's fine, I'll pack 8,800 yuan. Max, you pack 9,800 yuan." Owen quickly asked his assistant to bring cash over.
Max also say nothing else, and asked his assistant to prepare cash-filled red packet.
Owen handed over the red packet, and asked, "Well... does sister-in-law know about your legs?"
"Have a guess?" Curtis took the red packet and said with a half-smile.
Steffen explained in a timely manner, "Mrs. Riley doesn't know yet. Not only that, Mr. Riley is still sickly, frequently coughing, losing power, and poor in front of Mrs. Riley. You guys have to cooperate if meeting her outside in the future."
Owen widened his eyes again, and also spoke in a higher tone of voice.
"Brother, you're playing with fire! Don't you worry that sister-in-law will get angry and divorce you if she finds out?"
