Chapter 126 But You? You Can’t Even Get Aunt Bea
"An aunt? What aunt?" Blanche asked as he stood next to Granduncle, pursing his lips cluelessly.
Both Granduncle and Grandaunt's eyes lit up in an instant.
Did the blockhead finally open up? Did he finally get together with a girl he liked and was going to bringher back to meet everyone?
Tears of joy filled their eyes as the old couple looked at each other. It was as if all the hardships theyhad endured over the past few years were finally released. They were relieved. Their son was finallybecoming a good man.
After a few years in prison, it seemed that the time spent was not in vain.
In the beginning, Granduncle had forced Blanche to make that call. He even whispered for Blanche toturn on the loudspeaker so that he could hear it too. Therefore, Blanche followed the orders and turnedon the loudspeaker.
As soon as the loudspeaker was turned on, Uncle Xavier said, "Don’t worry, she’s a beautiful aunt.You’ll definitely like her."
When the old couple heard how nice his son was being about the girl and even described her asbeautiful, they knew that their son had probably fallen in love with her for him to think so highly of her.
"Okay, Uncle Xavier. We’ll be waiting for you and the beautiful aunt." Blanche hung up the phone like agood boy.
After the call was ended, Grandaunt asked excitedly, "Sh-Should I p- prepare anything?"
"Of course.”
Granduncle forced himself to calm down. He furrowed his brows and gave it a thought before raisinghis head to tell Grandaunt, "This will be her first time visiting us. We must give her a good impression.Hurry, look for something good that we can give her. If you can’t find anything, we’ll give her anexpensive gift card.”
"I'll go and find it." Grandaunt turned to go upstairs.
Granduncle stopped her again. "Wait, wait."
Grandaunt stopped in her steps.
"Remember, you can’t complain about the girl’s background, her looks, or her personality, okay?"Granduncle was afraid that his wife would be displeased and mess up this chance for his son.
"As long as it's a girl who breathes, I won’t complain." Grandaunt smiled and hurried upstairs.
Daniel never cared about what Xavier's partner should look like since his son had always been verypicky about his women. Before he went to jail, Louis and he were known to sleep with plenty of youngmovie stars.
Daniel had tried educating his son about his irresponsible behavior. However, it did not go through himand he ended up sending his son to prison.
Until that day, he could only condemn his son's past secretly.
In less than ten minutes, everyone in the Tanner's manor knew about the news of Xavier bringing hisgirlfriend back for everyone to meet.
All the adults in the Tanner family had watched Xavier grow up. They had always felt sad for the kid, sowhen they found out about Daniel's luck changing, all of them were happy for him.
Grandaunt quickly got ready.
All of the older family members had a few pieces of commemorative jewelry on them, but most of themwere antiques. They were worried that it would not be of a young girl's taste.
Six years ago, Xavier brought back a diamond necklace from abroad. It was very beautiful. Eventhough Grandaunt was old, she was still a woman. She loved it very much, but the style was moresuited for a younger person.
Therefore, Grandaunt never wore it. She was worried about what others would think of her. When shereceived it from her son, she even joked with her son. "When you marry a wife in the future, I’ll give it toher.”
That was why Grandaunt found the necklace and planned to give it to her.
The female relatives beside Grandaunt held her hand and said, "This is the end of your hardship.Xavier's bringing a girl home to introduce to everyone. It must mean that it's serious this time.”
Grandaunt was almost moved to tears. 'Yeah, my Xavier has never brought a girl home for us to meet.The only time we ever see them is in the tabloids."
This time, I'm sure she'll be your daughter-in-law." The female relative patted Grandaunt's hand. "Timeto wait for their wedding! Who knows, maybe the girl is already pregnant with Xavier’s child and you'llget to hug your grandson by next year!"
Grandaunt thought of the possibility of it happening and smiled widely.
Everyone in the manor waited for more than 20 minutes.
Every minute and every second was torturous for the old couple. They wanted to see their futuredaughter-in-law as soon as possible.
Just when everyone was kept on their toes, the Porsche Cayenne finally drove toward the manor.However, the Cayenne reached the place faster than expected. By the time the gate opened, the cardid not bother driving into the parking spots. Instead, it arrived in front of the main entrance.
The two servants who were coming out of the living room on the ground floor of the manor wereshocked. They were almost hit by the car and hurriedly ran aside in a panic.
Daniel and his wife also had a big shock.
'What's going on?
'Don't tell me that there's been an accident!’
Xavier got out of the car and opened the back seat door with agility. His suit jacket carefully coveredthe woman's face as he carried her out of the car. Everyone in the courtyard could only see thewoman's long black hair and her two long pale legs.
"Get a doctor to my room." Xavier shouted at the frightened servant.
The servant nodded quickly. After Xavier gave her a stern look, the servant quickly took out her cellphone and called the doctor.
Daniel came over and asked, "What happened?"
"I-I, I don't know. He just told me to call the doctor and get the doctor to his room," the servant who hadnot recovered from the shock said.
Grandaunt tried to calm Granduncle down. "Don't worry, I'll go up and see what's going on."
Granduncle nodded but did not follow. The father and son had never gotten along. He was worried thatthey might start quarreling.
Everyone waited for Grandaunt to go up and see what was the deal so that she could report toeveryone else downstairs.
A discussion started in the distance.
A young girl who looked like a high schooler said happily, "Hehe. Xavier has good taste. Even thoughhe covered her face with his suit jacket, I could still see her. My future sister-in-law wears very simpleand comfortable clothes. She’s completely different from the disaster of a woman I imagined."
Another young girl agreed and said, "Of course, Xavier’s very picky when he’s serious. He knows whatkind of girl is suitable to be a wife. Alas, I hope that Xavier will always be as concerned for her evenafter they get married and not let her down."novelbin
Blanche had a glass of juice in his hand. He finished the drink and slammed it on the table which madea loud noise.
"Have you gone mad?" Luke's calm gaze suddenly became cold.
"Oh, you still hear sounds around you? And you're asking me if I've gone mad?!” Blanche talked like alittle adult as he lectured Daddy. "Well, I'm bitter. Uncle Xavier has gotten one, but you? You can't evenget Aunt Bea. I hope I got less of your genes, or else I'll grow up to be an almost 30-year- old man whocan't get a wife."
Luke pretended he did not hear it. Instead, his mind drifted off to the image of Bianca's light pink lipsand her natural, feminine face. Soon, he felt all his toughness melting. However, he quickly furrowedhis brows and suppressed his feelings of yearning and longing.
