After serving the teas, Caroline held Gianna’s arm and sat beside her intimately.
“Gina, I really like you so much. I’m flabbergasted when you get to join the family,” she said
enthusiastically.
Gianna was slightly shy as she let out a smile.
They were not close after all.
“Mrs. Walker has been asking when would you come back since morning,” Edward’s girlfriend, Janice
Armand spoke with a smile. “Do you know how many people were envious of your majestic wedding
yesterday? Seeing you both so lovey-dovey today, I’m starting to get envious too. Ed, don’t they look
so much in love?”
She sounded deference.
Yet Gianna could hear the aberrance in her words.
Her instinct told her that that woman was up to no good.
So she was that someone mentioned by Kingsley?
“Since Gina was that gentle and beautiful, my brother certainly cherishes her,” Edward said with a
smile.
“Oh really?” Janice smiled. Her smile was clearly profound.
“Oh yes,” Caroline suddenly spoke. “I suppose you’re not familiar of the family members, let me
introduce to you.”
Caroline then introduced every family member to her with enthusiasm.
She then said lastly, “The one sitting at the corner is my baby girl whom I risked my life to give birth,
Florence Walker. She’s 22, same age as you.”
Gianna was slightly surprised.
The reason she was surprised was she had never heard that the Walker family had a little daughter
too. She only knew the existence of the three sons. What made her more surprised was Florence
looked like she was only 18 and she thought she was still in high school.
Caroline noticed her confusion and she explained, “Flory has a poor health since little and the doctor
suggests her to stay home. Therefore we’ve basically hired private teachers to come teach her at home
from when she’s little until now. Maybe it’s because she had not taken part in society events, Flory
looks much younger than those of her age.”
Gianna nodded and did not give any comment.
“Miss Morris, I’ve prepared a gift for you,” Florence spoke softly.
She blushed a little upon saying that.
She took out a delicate gift box and handed it to Gianna shyly.
Gianna took it over.
Upon opening it, there was a pleasant fragrance coming out from the inside together with lovely music.
The gift looked delightful at first sight.
“This is a music box which I designed. I added lavender fragrance in it. The smell could help induce
sleep,” Florence introduced her gift with a soft voice.
Gianna did not expect her to spend so much effort to prepare the gift for her.
She quickly said, “I like it very much, thank you.”
“I’m glad you like it. I was really scared that you didn’t.” Florence was gentle.
“It’s a priceless treasure in my heart.”
Florence let out a sweet smile.
She looked obedient and lovely.
Gianna wondered as a younger sister, how could Bernice be such a jerk?
After having a second thought, she thought she was too naïve.
Sister-in-law was difficult to get along with after all.
Seeing their interaction, Janice spoke while gloating over Gianna’s bothered look, “Looks like Florence
likes you very much.”
Gianna frowned.
Janice digressed, “Mrs. Walker introduced me as Edward’s girlfriend just now, yet I actually have an
unusual relationship with King too. We’re classmates in college, and very close friends too. I suppose
Gina won’t get jealous about it?”
It was a blatant provocation.
Gianna smiled. “Of course not, who doesn’t have friends? Not to mention King used to have so many
girlfriends, if I do get jealous about it, how should I live the rest of my life with him?”
Gianna sounded open-minded; she was actually secretly teasing her not to be too complacent of
herself.
Since she had not cared about Kingsley’s ex-girlfriends, why should she care about his so-called best
female friend?
Janice noticed her sarcastic remark too and she wore a carefree smile to make others thought she was
just joking. “That’s true though, after all, Gina loved Caesar to death too! The one who should care
about that should be King! Right, King?”
“Everyone in Country B knows how I broke up with Caesar, we’re already finished. I do feel that you’re
trying to stir up an argument by keeping on mentioning the past. Could it be you’re unhappy of me?”
Gianna said straightforwardly.
“I didn’t mean what I said!” Janice’s expression changed.
She always thought that Gianna was a woman who grew up under traditional education and she knew
nothing besides studying. She never thought that she would retort quick-wittedly and she would never
expect her to say such words. Someone like Gianna should keep quiet for the peace of the family.
“I thought Gina won’t get offended by such a harmless joke?” Janice deliberately digressed.
“I’ve just married King. No matter what my relationship is with Caesar now, any man would be
uncomfortable about it. Your joke is a bit inappropriate to be honest.”
Janice was embarrassed and she wanted to retort.
Gianna continued, “I’m actually fine with it, since I know I’m innocent, it’s just that I’m afraid King would
be jealous of it.”
“Yes, I will,” Kingsley chimed in.
Both of them were trying to make her feel bad on purpose.
Janice endured so much that her face flushed.
“Let’s not talk about the past anymore. Since King is with Gina now, we should wish them a wonderful
marriage life and have kids soon.” Caroline immediately smoothed things over.
“Maybe they already had kids since last night,” Evelyn chimed in too.
They tried to make the atmosphere looked cheerful.
They actually felt satisfied too.
Janice had been proud and complacent in their house. Now that she was criticized by Gianna, her face
had finally gone livid.
“I need to take a walk outside.” Janice left with rage.
She obviously felt humiliated.
Edward quickly said, “Her temper is not so good. She didn’t mean what she said, I hope you won’t take
it to heart.”
“I won’t.” Gianna smiled and looked gentle.
“I’ll have a look at her.” Edward left too.
Kingsley looked like he could not care less about it. He even let out a yawn and said blandly, “I didn’t
sleep well last night, I have to take a sleep upstairs.”
“Take Gina with you too, she must not sleep well too,” Caroline reminded him.
She sounded absolutely normal.
Yet the meaning was absolutely different when she said it.
Gianna’s face even flushed at that moment.
