Chapter 64 The In-laws
Chapter 64 The In-laws
After finishing her breakfast, Hannah and Oscar headed to the Wells’s house together.
It was incredible that they had not made an formal visit to each other’s parents until they got married.
Since it was her first time meeting her in-laws, Hannah was more or less uneasy. Not to mention it was
just a sham marriage, therefore it was a little abnormal.
“My family is easy-going.” Oscar seemed to notice her emotion and he consoled her.
Hannah turned and looked at him, “Really?”
“Yeah, except…” Oscar paused.
“Who?”
“Someone.” Oscar replied blandly.
“Who is it?”
“You’ll know once you get there,” Oscar said absentmindedly.
“Can’t you let me have some mental preparation beforehand?”
“There won’t be surprise then.”
“What kind of surprise is that, Oscar Wells!” She was reluctant to get herself into a lot of troubles the
first day she went to his house.
“You’re clever, I’m sure you could tell on first sight.”
“…”
She would die of rage because of him one day, Hannah supposed.
The car soon arrived at the Wells’s villa.
The Wells family did deserve the reputation as the wealthiest family in Kensbury City.
The villa which was situated halfway up a hill looked like a medieval manor. There were huge lawn and
majestic buildings and Hannah could not help but feel a bit shocked.
“Do ou freeze up?” Oscar asked.
Hannah did not reply him as she cursed in her mind.
Hannah kept her composure. And the two of them got out of the car when the doors of the car were
opened by the servants.
A girl who would have been nervous in this situation, it had been Hannah. But now she would only
push herself to keep moving.
They saw the Wells family sitting on the couch waiting for them from afar.
Hannah could not help but secretly take a deep breath.
She remembered when she married Charles back then, they lived together with the Sawyer family. The
episodes of his parents’ arrogant appearance and Martina demeaning her on purpose were still fresh in
her mind until now.
The reason Charles gave her back then was since his parents were elders, they would certainly
assume airs or else they would be embarrassed in front of the young. He hoped she could understand
that. As for Martina’s rude behavior, he only said blandly that she was still young and she did not mean
what she said. He asked her to tolerate her.
And she had believed all his lies.
Hannah suddenly let out a smile.
She felt indignant for her past self, and she advised herself not to abase herself again after being
reborn again.
Oscar suddenly took her hand.
“Don’t make them think that we’re not close.” Oscar said.
Hannah secretly grunted.
She followed Oscar and stopped in front of the couch.
Robert and Venus were now sitting in the middle of the couch. The ones sitting at the left were the
eldest son of the Wells family, David Wells, and his wife, Nancy, while the ones sitting at the right were
the second son, Thomas Wells, and a woman whom Hannah did not recognize. She looked like
Thomas’s girlfriend. There was also a girl sitting at the furthest corner of the couch. She was hugging a
white cat doll. The cat was pretty and clean, just like the girl.
“Why, Hannah, you’re so early. You must be tired yesterday, why didn’t you take a rest?” Venus
immediately stood up and held her arm intimately.
Her kindness was genuine and was not pretended.
The feeling she gave her was completely different from the one Loretta gave her back then.
Loretta would act intimately with her in front of other people too, yet Hannah was greatly repelled by
her intimacy. Venus did not give her that kind of feeling.
She smiled. “I’ve had a good sleep. Oscar and I left early last night, therefore I’ve rested well, yet it
turned out that you’re the ones doing the tiresome job.”
“We’re all family, you don’t have to be that courteous.” Venus was enthusiastic. “Come, come, have a
seat.”
“Mom, didn’t you prepare a gift for Hannah? Come on, I can’t wait to see it.” Nancy reminded with a
smile.
It was seen that they got along well. They were like friends.
“Oh look at me, I’m befuddled due to all the excitements.” Venus patted her forehead. She turned and
said to a servant, “Cathy, take the tea here for Oscar and Hannah.”
“Yes, ma’am.” The servant stooped.
Then two servants carried a tray with two teacups and walked to Hannah and Oscar respectively.
Oscar held Hannah’s hand and sat on the sofa.
Venus gave her gift specially planned to Hannah.
And Hannah opened it. It was a beautiful sapphire jewelry, beautiful beyond description.
“It was a gift for my mother from my grandmother, and it was given to me. Now you married my son,
you’re my daughter too. I give it to you. Wish you a happy marriage, as long-lasting as the gem.”
Hannah then opened the present of Robert, which was an invaluable pearl jewelry.
“Thank you, Dad.”
“I’m glad you like it.” Robert seemed to be in a good mood for his son’s marriage with Hannah.
Oscar kept a smile all the time.
That was a traditional custom of Northfield, the parents-in-law must prepare a gift for their daughter-in-
law on the first day when she came to their house.
On the contrary, Lee and Loretta had kept stony faces and played dumb back then, not to mention a
gift.
Now Hannah thought that the Oscar’s family was warm and harmonious, from which she could feel
their enthusiasm fro her.
