Mrs.Stephenson came out of the restaurant just now.She said that it was still so early and she wanted
them to go to a place with her.
Christina and Crystal did not dare to refuse the request of the elder.
Geoffrey looked proud and he was obviously in a good mood.
Then they went to the place and saw all kinds of precious jewels on display, which were shining with
golden light.
Crystal began to mutter, "It's really an evil intention..."
This was a very famous wedding shop in A City.
There were all kinds of expensive wedding dresses and jewelry.
Mrs.Stephenson should have an appointment.
As soon as they entered, the manager immediately came out to greet them with a smile.
"Mrs.Stephenson, I don't need a wedding dress."
Crystal was only a little awkward.
She told the elders yesterday that after getting the marriage certificate and keeping a low profile about
the wedding, they could just have a meal with some relatives.
Besides, Chandler was married twice, so there was no need to be too ostentatious.
"Crystal, I don't know if you young people will think gold is too rustic.I've studied the history of ancient
Egypt a lot.I think the jewelry made of gold is actually very eye-catching.Come and see this set of
jewelry quickly"
Mrs.Stephenson and Geoffrey sat in front of the glass cabinet and they were in high spirits choosing
jewelry.
Crystal glanced at it from afar and was startled.
"Can my neck stand it with it on my head?"
It was really a luxury Egyptian style.
The manager asked the shop assistant to bring out several sets of jewelry and entertained them
warmly.
"There are also many domestic styles.If there is a special order, we can ask the parent company to
send it over or customize it."
"There's no need to spend so much money on it"
Crystal had never received such a great favor since she was a child and she was a bit flattered.
"This is a gift from me and Chandler's father" Mrs.Stephenson smiled kindly.
"We're family now and we'll live together. Just make yourself at home.
And Geoffrey is very naughty, so we still have to trouble you to take care of him in the future."
Then Mrs.Stephenson asked in confusion, "Crystal, are you planning to move out with Chandler after
getting married? You young people need private space.If you think it's too troublesome to live with us,
you can just come back to see us at times..."
This tone sounded a little bleak.
Crystal was shocked and immediately explained, "No, I've never thought about moving out:"
Mrs.Stephenson smiled even more brightly when hearing this.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of us in the future.Come on.Choose what you like."
Mrs.Stephenson immediately asked the manager to bring out a few more sets of western-style platinum
and diamond designs.
Crystal felt like she had made the wrong choice.
As expected, the whole Stephenson family was wily.
She approached quietly and looked at the price on the tag with her sharp eyes, then she was shocked.
How dare she wear these things? They were too expensive! Christina felt that the jewelry designed by
this shop was quite unique, and the style and texture were very refined.
She also helped Crystal to choose.
"You suit this set..." Geoffrey came over them.
"Do you want to buy diamonds?"
"Choose another set of platinum with diamonds to match the wedding dress"
Christina pushed Crystal into the fitting room and chose a set of jewelry to try on.
Mrs.Stephenson and Geoffrey were waiting outside the fitting room.
Crystal was dressed in a long white dress and her delicate face was blushing shyly.She was holding a
light gauze skirt, and she looked charming with a set of sparkling pink diamond necklace earrings.
Mrs.Stephenson praised her.
"Crystal, this wedding dress and jewelry suit you very well.You look so beautiful."
Crystal blushed and said awkwardly, "You overpraise me."
Crystal looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a dreamy white dress and such expensive jewelry.She
felt like she was dreaming.
Although she kept saying that it was unnecessary, that she had to keep a low profile and didn’t want to
have a wedding, every woman liked to fantasize about her appearance in a white wedding dress.
A woman was the most beautiful person at that moment when she wore the wedding dress, and every
woman had a sweet dream in her mind.
Mrs.Stephenson liked Crystal very much and teased her with a smile.
"It's all because Chandler is too busy.If he comes over, it's good to surprise him and he should treat you
better"
Crystal felt a little dizzy.
She didn't expect the Stephenson family to accept her so quickly and treat her so well.
Her eyes were moist with emotion for a moment.
At this moment, Geoffrey tugged at her skirt and pointed in the direction of the shop door.
"Look over there."
When Crystal turned to look, she paused for a moment.
Chandler happened to come out of the car.He must have just finished his business.He was dressed in
a suit and he looked gentle and handsome, and he walked in with a smile on his face.
Just then, he saw Crystal, who was deeply moved.
"I was just talking about you."
Mrs.Stephenson looked at her son with a smile, held Crystal's arm affectionately, and asked, "How do
you think of your bride?"
Chandler smiled handsomely and looked at Crystal, then he pretended to say affectionately.
"Very beautiful."
Crystal knew that Chandler was teasing her on purpose, but her heart was beating wildly and her face
was red.
Christina stood by and smiled.She felt that the people from the Stephenson family all had a great sense
of humor.
At this moment, another man walked into the shop.
Geoffrey shouted excitedly, "Uncle Hopkins""
Christina paused.She did not look back, but in the huge mirror of the shop, she could see handsome
Patrick walking over step by step.
"Hello, Mrs.Stephenson."
Patrick walked up to Mrs.Stephenson first and greeted her in a low and steady voice.
Mrs.Stephenson was a little surprised.
"I'm very glad to meet you, Patrick."
"I haven't thanked you for supporting the scientific research funding for our archaeology project last
time"
"You're welcome."
Patrick was always so polite and distant to his elders and clients.
Then Patrick turned to look at Crystal and said calmly, "It looks good"
Crystal was flattered and nodded wildly.
"Thank you, thank you." Chandler stood aside and helped Crystal stand up.
Crystal was too nervous and he wanted to laugh at her.
"Go pick a cheongsam.I like it."
"The cheongsam here is too small.I have fat around my waist and it doesn't look good on me:"
"Don't worry, I like it" Chandler dragged Crystal to the other side.
The Stephenson family went to choose cheongsam on the other side.
Chandler was good at teasing Crystal and deliberately angered her with some cheongsams she
couldn't wear.
Mrs.Stephenson personally helped Crystal to measure and planned to make a custom-made set.
"Mrs.Stephenson, there's no need to customize it.The clothes here are all very good.Just choose a
ready-made one."
"Don't always call me Mrs.Stephenson.I'll give you some time to make an adjustment.After the new
year, you'll call me mom."
Crystal smiled shyly.She finally knew that Chandler's character was inherited from his mother.
Christina stood not far away and looked at them.She also felt that Mrs.Stephenson was very interesting
and happy for Crystal.It was great to see a harmonious family.
Patrick approached her, and Christina pretended to ignore him.
She lowered her head and fiddled with some wedding dress headgear.
Patrick stood beside Christina, quietly, without any further movement.
Crystal changed into a red and silver cheongsam, and the Stephenson family was teasing her.
Crystal looked gentle, and the cheongsam was more suitable for her.
Christina smiled faintly at Crystal.
A happy woman was the most beautiful.
Patrick did not look at Crystal.
His eyes were fixed on Christina and he felt that everything here was not as beautiful as her.
Suddenly, he said, "Christina, come back to the Hopkins family with me."
