Chapter 191 - Just An Ordinary Family
Mrs. Miller continued to express her displeasure towards Lillie as they approached the Davis Family.
"I still hate her. Is she trying to hook up with both brothers?" Mrs. Miller added, her expression turned ugly.
Mr. Miller nodded at her in agreement. "But Honey, can you fix your expression now? Endure it. We have to face them now. Pretend that you are just fine while interacting with them."
Mrs. Miller just rolled her eyes, "Yeah I know. You don't need to remind me."
With that, Mr. and Mrs. Miller wore their sweetest fake smile as they approached the Davis Family together with Hannah and Andrew.
Hannah and Andrew greeted Isabelle, Lucas, and Grandpa Lu politely. Andrew nodded at Tristan and Zhen-Zhen while Hannah avoided looking in their direction.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller also made their presence known by acting extra friendly towards Lucas and Isabelle, trying to show Alice and Thomas that they were really close to the Davis Family. They didn't even take one glance at Zhen-Zhen.
Isabelle was the one who initiated to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Miller to Alice and Thomas.
"Now, our families are complete. Did you bring your camera, son? Why don't we take pictures together with Mr. and Mrs. Meyer? This is the first time we gathered here together." Isabelle suggested to them.
"Yeah, Let's do that! It's time for Family Picture!" Lucas supported his wife.
"Yeah, I brought my camera. Wait... I will just go and get it." Tristan said, before leaving them.
When Tristan left, Mrs. Miller decided to open up a conversation with Alice and Thomas, asking them about their background and occupation.
"Oh Mr. and Mrs. Meyer, if you don't mind, may I ask what is your family business? Are you also entrepreneurs or businessmen from this City of Empire?" Mrs. Miller asked them directly.
Alice and Thomas glanced at each other first before answering her question. Since Tristan said to them that his family didn't care about background and status, the husband and wife became honest with their answer.
"Oh, Mrs. Miller, the truth is we don't have any family business. We are not from this city." Alice told them with a faint smile on her face.
"We came from the province where you can see the highest mountain in the country, Mt. Calypso!" Thomas said with so much enthusiasm. He felt proud because Mt. Calypso was very famous in the country for its natural beauty.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller didn't understand why Thomas was so happy with that.
'Is that something to be proud of?'
"Oh, you don't have a family business. How about your occupation?" This time Mr. Miller was the one who asked them.
Grandpa Lu, Isabelle, and Lucas as well as Hannah, Andrew, and Zhen-Zhen were just listening to them.
Thomas scratched the back of his head as he answered Mr. Miller's query.
"As of now, I am just looking for a job. We just transferred here to the City of Empire with the help of Tristan. We are just a simple family living in Mt. Calypso." Thomas said to them truthfully.
After hearing that, Mrs. and Mr. Miller looked at them with disbelief. They didn't expect that Lillie's family was just ordinary.
'No wonder. That explains why their daughter behaves like an uneducated woman, seducing men using her face and body. No manner at all. Tsk.' Mrs. Miller thought to herself, belittling Zhen-Zhen and her foster parents.
Zhen-Zhen also joined the conversation. "Mom, Dad, Grandpa… if you are free, let's go to Mt. Calypso. Ma and Pa will show you our simple little home. The place is so nice. Ma has a wide vegetable garden beside our home. Oh, there's also different fruit trees in the backyard. You will enjoy nature. Very refreshing and peaceful there!"
Grandpa Lu, Isabelle, and Lucas felt excited after hearing that. They bobbed their head frantically, agreeing to Zhen-Zhen's suggestion right away.
"Yeah, I like that! I also want to visit Lillie's hometown. It looks fun!" Isabelle mumbled cheerfully, not minding the fact that the Meyer Family didn't have a family business or job as of this moment.
"Hmm, that place will be nice for an old man like me. I need that for relaxation and peace of mind!" Grandpa Lu also expressed his excitement about going to Mt.Calypso and visiting the little and simple home of the Meyer Family.
"Oh come on! Please don't leave me behind!" Lucas also said to them with a wide grin on his face.
Aside from them, Andrew also showed his interest in coming with them.
"Ahem, excuse me? Am I not invited, Lillie? I am also part of the family. You only mention Dad, Mom, and Grandpa," Andrew couldn't help but make some remarks. There was a glint of humor in his eyes as he asked Lillie.
Hannah and her parents frowned upon hearing Andrew. They couldn't believe that even Andrew wanted to join them and visit Lillie's home.
Zhen-Zhen, on the other hand, let out a soft giggle when she saw Andrew's expression. He was pretending to be upset about being not invited.
"Of course, Andrew! You can also come with us. Bring Hannah with you. I am sure you will like the place." Zhen-Zhen promptly responded to Andrew.
"Hmm, Thanks. I like to do that." Then Andrew turned to Hannah. "What do you think, sweety?"
Hannah looked at him with disbelief.
'Seriously, Andrew? You want to join them and you even plan to bring me?' Hannah thought to herself but she didn't dare to voice it out. She suddenly became upset because of Andrew's action.
'Why is he acting very friendly toward Lillie? He should stay away from her. She's the woman who tried to seduce him.' Hannah added to her thoughts.
"Oh, I'll check my schedule." Hannah just simply said to him. She didn't reject the idea because they were in front of Isabelle, Lucas, and Grandpa Lu. She didn't want to look bad at them once she refused to come with them.
Thomas and Alice were glad that they even wanted to visit their hometown. They had just proven that Tristan's words were true. His grandfather and his parents didn't judge them because of their family background and status.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller couldn't believe what was happening right now. Instead of focusing on the flaws of Meyer's Family, the topic was diverted because of Lillie's simple words.
