Chapter 35: Meeting the Parents

"No." Lesly replied without hesitation, "I won’t marry him again." Lulu quickly glanced at Harry. Compared with the father she had never seen before, she preferred the gentle and considerate Harry to be her father. But when she heard Lesly’s answer, she did not know why, but she felt a sense of loss. Harry walked over and patted Lulu’s head. "It doesn’t matter. I’ll take you to play on the weekend. Shall we go to the zoo to see the Sika deers?" Harry smiled gently, and his tone was full of love. Lulu looked at Harry and remembered that Harry had cared for their family over the years. She gritted her teeth and held Harry and Lesly’s hands. "Mommy, I hope that you can be with Uncle Harry," Lulu said sensibly. "Uncle Harry is better than the bad father who abandoned us. He also treats you well." Lesly laughed. "What is in your mind? Harry and I are just friends." Harry’s eyes darkened, but he quickly recovered his smile. Lulu did not understand. "But..." "Alright, Lulu." Harry went to carry her. "Your mum just came back, let her drink some soup and rest. I’ll take you to sleep, okay?" "Ok." At Lulu’s bedroom, Harry covered her with a quilt, and then waited at the bedside, waiting for her to fall asleep. It was late at night and the villa was quiet. Harry lowered his face as his eyes darkened. A moment later, he suddenly smiled and took out his phone to send a text message. He sent it to his mother, "Mom, can I change the time when I bring my girlfriend back for dinner to Friday? Don’t ask too many people, just you and Dad. She has been too busy recently. It will take a few days for her to see other people in the family." Mrs. Whitaker quickly replied, "Okay, as long as you are willing to bring your girlfriend back, we will do whatever you want. Then let’s set it for Friday. You can’t go back on your words." Harry replied, "Yes, I promise." He put away his phone and left after making sure that Lulu was asleep. Lesly had just finished washing up. She was about to sleep when Harry knocked on her door. Harry did not go into the room but said at the door, "Lesly, is it alright if we change the day for you to meet my parents to friday? My mother must meet my girlfriend. Otherwise, they won’t believe that I already have a girlfriend." Lesly felt guilty and agreed without hesitation. Friday came in a blink of an eye. The Whitaker family villa. After getting off the car, Lesly tidied up the hem of her dress and said uneasily, "Harry, is this dress alright? I won’t embarrass you, will I?" "It’s is very good." Harry’s eyes were dark as he looked at Lesly’s face. "Very beautiful." Lesly rolled her eyes at him. "I just asked if it is suitable or not. What if your mother is not satisfied and suspects that there is something wrong with your taste?" "She won’t." Harry took Lesly’s hand. "Let’s go. Get off the car." Lesly froze and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. "Lesly, our show must be perfect." Harry held her hand tightly. "Otherwise, my parents will doubt us." Lesly endured the discomfort, fixed her smile, and entered the house with Harry. "I’m coming." Mrs. Whitaker saw them from afar and greeted them with great enthusiasm. Harry had been single for nearly 30 years. He finally brought back his girlfriend for the first time. His parents were very happy. They looked at Lesly, who looked beautiful and clean. They were satisfied. They had a very pleasant meal. When it was time for them to leave, Mrs. Whitaker was very reluctant and repeatedly told her to come back to eat often. Lesly smiled and agreed, "Then we shall leave first, Aunty." "Okay. Drive safely." Mrs. Whitaker stood at the door and watched Harry’s car drive away. "What do you think of that girl?" Harry’s mother couldn’t wait to discuss with her husband, "She is beautiful and has a good temperament. I heard that she is also capable in her workplace. She is a good girl." Her husband frowned and said, "She is nice, but she looks familiar. I feel like I’ve seen her before." She glanced at her husband and said, "You think every beautiful woman looks familiar." "What are you talking about?" Harry’s father was displeased. "I did see her before, but I just can’t remember where..."
