Chapter 258: Feeling Hot
"So, how was the dinner?" Gavin asked Thea during their lunch break.
Thea smiled as she narrated how the dinner with her father-in-law went. She proudly told Gavin how Senior Liu had accepted her for who she was and how he sang her praises for her excellent cooking skills. Senior Liu even joked that she and Jeru should just move in with him at the Liu family’s residence so he could taste her food every day.
Her father-in-law had also stayed the night at their place, in one of Jeru’s guest rooms. Jeru couldn’t drop her off at work today because he had to head to the military base for some crucial matters early in the morning. So her father-in-law offered to do that for her, which she happily accepted.
Because he left early, she and Jeru did not have the chance to talk about last night, either.
"You do know that as the young mistress of the Liu family, you’ll be required to live in their ancestral home for at least six months, right?" Gavin informed her. Thea creased her forehead. She didn’t know anything about it because Jeru had never mentioned such a thing to her.
"It’s a tradition that some aristocratic upper-class families still actively maintained, and the Liu’s, as well as our family, are some of them," Gavin explained, which made Thea’s mouth open in disbelief.
"Jeru didn’t say anything about this? Maybe he’s planning to evade that tradition? But I doubt he could do that. Old Madam Liu would definitely insist, and I’m not sure if Jeru would be able to go against her wish..." Gavin doubted.
"Ouch!" Gavin suddenly screeched when Thea pinched his arm.
"You! Do you know what happened to me yesterday for following your advice about throwing words like ’I like you’ at any chance?" Thea confronted Gavin.
