Chapter 2146: Rupert Brightwood Returned Home
"Remember to greet them with a smile, and pretend you didn't see anything today," Mrs. Brightwood advised him, trying to stay calm. "First, buy the house and get married. Then we can persuade her to leave the industry. If Summer gets pregnant, she won't need any persuasion; she'll have to leave to take care of the baby."
Mr. Brightwood listened without commenting, lost in thought. As a father, his anxiety and worry were no less than that of her mother. Emotions are strange; they develop through interaction. Why else would so many long-distance marriages end in divorce? Nothing withstands time and distance.
"Our future plans depend on what Rupert wants," Mrs. Brightwood said. "If he thinks it's better to develop his career abroad, then he should take Summer with him. Since she's married into our family, she should consider her husband's opinion."
"Then what's the point of buying a house in Arkpool City?" Mr. Brightwood asked.
Mrs. Brightwood became a bit agitated upon hearing this. "This is our hometown, our roots! Who says developing abroad means settling there permanently? No one can predict the future!"All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
At that moment, the sound of the elevator opening reached them, and the two elders turned to look.
Spencer almost twisted his ankle as he stepped out of the elevator.
"Careful," Summer instinctively supported his arm, her gaze following him, so she didn't immediately notice the two elders standing not far away.
Spencer looked up and met the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Brightwood.
The two elders stared at them in shock.
Following Spencer's gaze, Summer finally saw the Brightwood elders standing at the doorway. She was slightly stunned and slowly released Spencer's arm.
"Mr. Brightwood? Mrs. Brightwood..." Summer hadn't expected to see them here.
Neither had Mr. and Mrs. Brightwood expected to witness such a scene! Not only did they come home together, but they also had physical contact! They looked like a couple! Mrs. Brightwood quickly put on a smile and handed her bag to her husband.
She hurried over to Summer, took her arm, and pulled her aside.
She distanced Summer from Spencer and said, "Summer, come home quickly; we have great news to share with you!"
She led Summer to open the door while Spencer was left standing aside, treated like air.
Especially when she called them "Mom and Dad," it felt like a knife stabbing into Spencer's heart!
They were already calling themselves Mom and Dad before Summer even got married?
He clearly saw Mr. Brightwood
holding a bag with house
information on it-customized for real
estate! The documents inside were
thick. He could see the edges
sticking out.
Spencer had a bad feeling; had they gone house-hunting again today?
Summer didn't look back as she entered the fingerprint code and opened the door, leading the two elders inside.
Mrs. Brightwood gave Spencer a warning glance before entering, making him very uncomfortable.
Even after the door closed, Spencer didn't move an inch; he stood there staring blankly at the closed door.
This kid's mood was terrible at that moment! He felt like an outsider...
Meanwhile, an airplane landed on the runway...
In an economy class window seat, a young man with average looks but neat attire gazed out at the scenery while chewing gum. He looked tired as if under great pressure.
Yes, Rupert Brightwood had returned home and had arranged to have dinner with Agnes.
He had skipped work abroad without
any intention of returning. Although
his company had recently forbidden
him from coming back home due to instructions from Mr. Marsh he wasn't aware of that directive.
