Elaine’s eyes were wide open due to the fear. She looked at Oliver with her wide-open eyes.
Damn it! Being caught up by my father...Oliver was still showing a happy face?
Why was he so happy and even smiling?
She wanted to cry because she knew that she was doomed!
She had never been close to a boy from primary school to senior school.
Though she had secretly drooled over many handsome boys, it was all unrequited love. There was not
a single boy who was willing to date her!
But now...
Suddenly, Oliver, a super handsome boy who was even more dazzling than diamonds, popped up...
She didn’t know whether her father would be shocked as well as aggravated.
Elaine pursed her lips and her lips trembled. She turned around slowly.
Elaine answered her father slightly, “Hi, Dad...Aren’t you home early today?”
She even scratched her hair like an idiot.
Oliver quickly bowed to her father from the distance. He laughed and shouted,
“Uncle! Nice to meet you!”
Elaine’s father Bruno blinked his eyes. Even from such a distance, he could see the pretty face of
Oliver that was as beautiful as peach blossom.
Bruno couldn’t help but freeze.
For the first time in his life, he saw such a pretty and handsome man as Oliver.
Though he was standing afar, still, he made Bruno feel amazed.
“Who is that? Don’t just stand by the street and talk. Come over! Come inside!”
Bruno shouted to them. He couldn’t bear with the foam that kept dropping from his head any more. He
waived his hand to Elaine and then hurried back home to continue washing his hair.
Right now, Elaine felt like she wanted to die. She even had a long face now. She wanted to cry.
“What should I do? Who should I do now? Oh my god...”
Elaine stomped her foot and was at a loss about what to do.
But Oliver was still smiling. He said nothing and just went to open the trunk of his car. Then he carried
four delicately-wrapped present boxes.
“Luckily, I have some present boxes brought back from abroad in my trunk. Or it will be so rude of me
to directly visit your father without bringing gifts. But I don’t have cigarettes. Do you think I should go
buy some packs of cigarettes?”
Oliver carefully thought about it and asked Elaine with a soft voice.
Elaine was grinding her teeth and shouted to him, “Who asked you to bring gifts! Go away now. Go!
Are you really thinking about going to my home? Please go away! Don’t make more troubles for me.”
Elaine scratched her hair and was thinking how to explained about Oliver to her father. But Oliver
stepped forward and walked to the Jones’ family.
“Hey! Stop, you! Stop! What are you doing? Oliver!”
Elaine ran to chase him. She shouted and grabbed Oliver’s sleeve, trying to drag him back.
“I must go. You heard it just now. Your father asked me to go inside. Can I ignore what your father
said? It’s a bit hasty today. I will just bring these gifts this time. And next time, I will make full
preparation.”
Elaine froze and shouted, “No. No! You can’t go to my home! If you do, I will literally be doomed!
Please go back! Please, I am begging you. Please, Mater Young. Don’t make more troubles for me.”
When Elaine was dragging Oliver backward, her father walked out again with a towel covering his hair.
He shouted,
“Elaine! Didn’t I tell you to come inside? Why are you still dawdling? Boy, come inside too!”
Oh.
Elaine totally blacked out.
“Coming, uncle. We are coming.”
Oliver smiled and strode towards Bruno, carrying the delicately-wrapped present boxes.
Walking behind tall Oliver, Elaine was behaving like a thief. She lowered her head and walked within
the shadow of Oliver.
Damn. She was dead this time.
A crowd of curious neighbors stood in the hutong. They all looked at Oliver with their eyes wide open.
They looked at him from bottom to top.
Elaine felt like her head was about to explode...
Oliver, on the other hand, was smiling at the neighbors with a good temper and nodding his head to
greet them.
“That’s the boyfriend of Bruno’s first daughter...”
“He dresses like a prince...”
“He is so good-looking. Handsome, gorgeous!”
“Look at his car. He must be very rich.”
“Is it possible that he is the driver of some boss? Then it’s not that good. Drivers’ education background
is not good-looking...”
Elaine wanted to kill!
These neighbors, which included a bunch of old people, were good at gossiping.
How could Oliver be a driver...
Bruno’s face was full of seriousness and vigilance. He fixated his eyes on Oliver who was walking
closer to him.
Oliver stood in front of Bruno. His eyes smiled joyfully.
The he made a 90-degree bow and seriously greeted Bruno, “Uncle, nice to meet you. I am Oliver. This
is the first time that we meet, and I didn’t prepare anything valuable. These are gifts for you. I had them
brought back from America. Their color is fine.”
Elaine dared not to look at her father. She just kept her head lowered and rubbed her shoes onto the
ground. She was waiting for her father to get furious and beat her with his shoes.
Bruno was shorter than Oliver by a head. He looked at Oliver’s shiny clothes and froze. Then he said
stiffly,
“Come inside first!”
“Okay.”
Oliver answered quickly and happily. He followed Bruno inside the house. Then he circled back and
grabbed Elaine’s hand to drag her inside.
Elaine’s mouth was pursed high. It seemed that she was full of anger.
Oh my god! What was this? Oliver came into her house. What the hell was this?
What the hell...It was like Oliver was the son-in -law who visited his father-in-law.
Oh my God. She was about to lose her mind!
Ellie was not home. The narrow and dark living room of the Jones’ family made Oliver, who came
inside without preparation, feel uncomfortable.
His tall figure stood in the living room, making the room even narrower than it really was.
Bruno dried his hair with the towel. The he put the towel in his hand and frowned. He sat in an old sofa
and then pointed to the chair across from him, saying,
“Please sit.”
Oliver smiled and nodded, “Okay. Thank you, uncle.”
Oliver sat on the chair. The chair was very old and its legs were all loose. He sat on it without
preparation and the chair made a big noise. It also twisted hard, which scared Oliver so much that he
stood up immediately.
Elaine handed Oliver a campstool, “Sit on this.”
Oliver quickly smiled to Bruno in embarrassment. He took the campstool and sat on it.
The Jones’ family was far poorer than his imagination.
He understood now that Elaine grew up little by little in such a shabby home.
Oliver even thought that it was a miracle that his little darling grew to be a big girl without dying halfway.
Bruno kept staring at Oliver.
The young man looked like a kid from a wealthy family. His clothes looked expensive and nice. He, as
a man, had hands that were so fair and delicate. It was for sure that he had never done any tiring
physical work.
Bruno couldn’t help but look at Oliver’s shoes.
They were shiny!
They looked expensive and were quite new.
“What’s your name?”
Bruno sounded husky and tired.
He had been driving bus for a whole day. He could have rested for an hour at noon, but a colleague
had an emergency back home. So he took his shift and didn’t have a chance to rest during the whole
day.
After a day’s hard work, he finally got to come back home. He searched for some pickle and bread and
ate them in haste. He just wanted to wash himself and lie down to rest now.
But right now, looking at the stranger Oliver, who was as pretty as a flower, Bruno felt a bit unreal.
“Oliver Young.”
Oliver sat straight and answered politely.
“Oh... How did you know my Elaine?”
Elaine tensed up all over immediately and looked very nervous.
“Dad, he is the relative of my classmate. I saw him once by accident.”
Elaine interrupted and answered quickly.
Bruno frowned and kept looking at Oliver seriously.
It was like...he was seriously and carefully examining the son-in-law brought home by his daughter.
Oliver smiled slightly, “We met each other by accident. Then we got along really well and hanged out a
few more times. Later, we just got close.”
Bruno asked suddenly, “Are you Elaine’s boyfriend?”
Oliver’s eyes brightened up immediately and countless colorful light flashed across his excited eyes
which were as beautiful as river, “Uncle...Actually, I like Elaine very much...But...she hasn’t said yes...”
Elaine’s face was as red as a piece of red cloth. She felt like she could just run towards a wall and
knocked herself out.
Oh my god. What the hell was Oliver talking about?
She was only a high school student, okay?
How dared he to directly talk about romantic relationship in front of her parent?
Elaine stood in the room and her hands were trembling because of nervousness.
Bruno was also shocked by what Oliver said!
His first daughter was a good girl who behaved very well. She was different from his second daughter,
who was as sly as a fox. His second daughter didn’t behave well since childhood.
She began having romantic relationship with boys since the fifth grade.
His first daughter, on the other hand, had never been involved with puppy love.
Bruno was always confident in Elaine. He believed her unconditionally.
But now...
Suddenly...
Without even an omen, his first daughter showed up with a boyfriend. It was truly astonishing.
Bruno blinked his eyes quickly and looked at Oliver. Then he looked at Elaine and asked stuttering,
“You...you are dating him?”
“No! No, Dad! I am not! Don’t wrong me.”
Oliver explained quickly too, “Yes, Uncle. It has nothing to do with Elaine. She hasn’t agreed to be my
girlfriend. It is me who are chasing after her.”
Bruno let out a breath and said with a depressed voice, “My Elaine is still young. She isn’t even in
college. It would be inappropriate that she has a boyfriend now...”
“I understand, uncle. It’s fine. I can wait for Elaine. Uncle, I like her with all my heart!”
Oliver said this with his crystal eyes wide open. He even raised one hand to swear to god.
Elaine pursed her lips and muttered, “I told you I am not dating him. I am really not. Dad, you got it
wrong. We are just normal friends.”
