Chapter 284: Peeled Alive
Torin was restless as he thought about how he could convince his bro, Zach, to accept him as his future brother-in-law. Today, he would formally ask for Lyra’s hand in marriage from her whole family. He was now driving to the Lims’ villa in the province, with a trunk full of gifts he had bought for them.
Lyra was already there a day ahead of him to inform her elders about his intention.
Although he was no stranger to the Lims, but for some reason, he felt so nervous. He kept drawing in and out a loud sigh to calm his nerves during his drive.
But, the one he was most nervous about was Zach. Especially after seeing his wicked smile for the first time in his life the last time they talked. His bro was definitely up to something.
"He is becoming more and more like his wife," he complained, his whole face crumpled. Who would have thought that the once expressionless and cold general would know how to smile wickedly now? He sure had gotten it from his mischievous and playful wife.
At the Lims’ villa, everyone was in the garden, preparing for a barbecue party while they waited for Torin’s arrival.
And Lyra was the center of raillery.
"Who would have thought that Lyra and Torin have feelings for each other based on how they treated each other?" Grandpa Shen remarked in a whimsical tone. The blush on Lyra’s face from her family’s continuous teasing was not fading away.
"That was probably why Torin would always ask me where Lyra was and how she was doing whenever he visited. I thought he was just asking because Lyra wasn’t often here whenever he was here." Sheila recounted as she prepared the table.
