Chapter 4
Calmly walking to the door, I turned around and told Scarlet and Kolby, “Ask Drew which item in this house he has spent money on. Have him settle this account! Drew, don’t go to work today either. Take your parents around and enjoy the trip. It’s not easy for them to come here, so don’t leave any regrets before you leave.‘
As I closed the door, I heard Kolby’s furious howl echoing in the house. “Look, look, it’s all messed up! What did you bring home? Is this how she talks to us? Unbelievable! Tell her to get out, right
now…”
Around ten o’clock, Drew messaged me. Without any surprise, it was probably to blame me. I replied to him with two words: “Break up.”
Drew panicked and started apologizing to me again, so I simply turned off my phone.
After work, Drew came to pick me up at the company downstairs. He humbly said that he had already talked to his parents and now the elderly co has accepted me. They had a bad attitude towards me before, but he hoped that I wouldn’t ta..
Part.
I keenly sensed something was wrong. In the morning, they were shouting at me to leave. How could they change their mind so quickly?
When I got home, Scarlet personally opened the door, with a big smile on her face. She smoothly handed me the slippers and took my bag.
Kolby also gave me a rare smile and greeted me to wash my hands and eat.
At the dinner table, Drew leaned in and whispered in my ear, “Did you see? I apologized to you on their behalf for what happened before. Please don’t blame them anymore, and don’t be angry,
okay?”
I nodded and, by chance, caught a glimpse of the bracelet on Scarlet’s wrist.
Seeing my gaze sweep over, Scarlet deliberately placed the hand wearing the bracelet under the table, cleared her throat, and went straight to the point. “Penelope, you’ve been with Drew for over half a year, right?”
I nodded gently, and she asked again, “I heard from Drew that your mother runs a shop. Since we’ve come all this way, why don’t you ask her to come over tomorrow to discuss your marriage? What do
you think?”
“Married?”
Is it already urging to get married now? The change is even faster than I expected!
“Auntie, it was like this. I discussed this matter with Drew. During this period, work is important, so we thought of stabilizing our jobs first before considering marriage.”

“No way!” Scarlet replied firmly.
“Settling down and building a career, first settle down and then build a career! As a girl, you should prioritize your family. You can’t always be thinking about work, right? Leave the responsibility of earning money and supporting the family to Drew in the future. Once you get married, stay at home and take care of this household, and take care of us, the elderly couple. Do you agree with what I’m saying?”
What the hell, Mom! Where do you get the nerve? I had to take care of the house and serve the two of
them all the time?
If what she said is true, let alone how long I can endure, with Drew’s limited abilities, the whole family would starve to death in less than half a month. What are we thinking?
I hadn’t even spoken yet, but Kolby once again made a final decision, acting all domineering!
“Alright, this matter is settled! I will find someone to pick a date, and you all can start preparing for the wedding!”
“The dowry and bridal gifts are just formalities. Considering your current situation, I think it’s best to save money. We can have the wedding according to tradition in our hometown, and we can hire a local chef to prepare a few tables of food. The cash gifts we receive should cover the expenses perfectly. Let’s do it this way, and everyone will be relieved.”
I was so shocked that my eyeballs almost popped out!
