Chapter 1798: A Wonderful Feeling
The two of them gazed at each other, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still.
"..." Monica glanced at him, then at the book in her hand, and raised her eyes to ask, "Sir, are you
interested in this book of mine?" There was indeed only one book on the shelf.
Bertie immediately came to his senses. "No, no, no," his calm expression turned into a smile. "I don't
need this book."
However, for some reason, he felt a peculiar sense of familiarity with this young girl, a feeling that was
quite marvelous, one that made him want to get closer.
So he asked, "Miss, do you have some time right now?"
Being questioned by this unfamiliar man, Monica became more cautious, meeting his gaze without
speaking, because she had no idea what he was up to.
What did her availability have to do with him?
Afraid of being misunderstood, Bertie hurriedly explained, "I am from out of town, and today is my first
time in Arkpool City. I see you're at the age for discussing marriage, so I have a few things I'd like to
ask you about. Is that okay?"
"I have a boyfriend," Monica stated bluntly. "You're not trying to introduce your son to me, are you? My
boyfriend and I are about to get married!" There was no complete relaxation in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Bertie chuckled. What was this young girl thinking?
With a kind smile, he said, "No, no, no, Miss, you've misunderstood. I do have a son indeed, but he
already has a girlfriend, and they are getting ready to marry, but... I haven't formally visited the girl's
family, and I don't understand the customs here. I'm afraid of being presumptuous, so I wanted to ask
you about it."novelbin
Listening to the words of the older man, she saw a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
Monica's doubts slowly dissipated. "So you've come to visit the girl's family?" It happened that she had
some time now.
"Yes, yes," the man glanced at a nearby spot. "Miss, how about sitting down for a cup of tea?"
"Sure," she didn't reject the offer.
Bertie was pleased, thinking that this young woman was knowledgeable and polite and he would surely
be able to get the information he needed from her.
Before long, the two of them sat down by the window in the bookstore.
Since it was a workday, there weren't many customers today, and with the pleasant bookstore
environment and the warm yellow lights around them, the atmosphere for conversation was just right
when the two cups of Bi Luo Chun tea were served.
"Miss, I won't take up much of your time. As a father representing the groom's side, when I visit the
girl's family for the first time, what kind of etiquette should I pay attention to?" He was genuinely afraid
of being presumptuous.
Seeing his earnest inquiry, Monica was inexplicably moved. He was indeed a good father. If that girl
were to marry into their family, she would certainly not be wronged.
Judging from the middle-aged man's attire and demeanor, she deduced that this family belonged to the
upper class, well-off and well-mannered.
She, being a carefree girl, was also about to marry Tristan, so she told him everything she knew-
"Uncle, as long as your son genuinely cares for this girl, you can casually bring gifts and personally visit
to discuss the marriage, which would indicate the attitude of the groom's family."
"Basically, the girl's family will approve. If the boy is not outstanding and doesn't treat the girl well, no
matter how good you are as a father, the girl's family will have concerns and will stop them from
continuing to date. So, it mainly depends on the relationship between the young couple."
