After Rebirth I Married My EX- Husband's (Enemy Laurel)

Chapter 64 Meet Hayden's Family

After breakfast.

Laurel and Hayden went to the Gilbert family.

Laurel felt a bit nervous when she went to meet Hayden's family for the first time. Especially because she and Hayden were only married on paper. "My family is easy to get along with," Hayden seemed to sense Laurel's nervousness and spoke frankly.

Laurel turned her head to look at him, "Were they all getting along well?"

"Yes, except..." Hayden paused.

"Hmm?"

"Individuals," Hayden said indifferently.

"Who?"

"You'll know once you go," Hayden said nonchalantly.

"Couldn't you give me a little me ntal preparation?"

"If you were prepared me ntally, there would be no surprises."

"Hayden, what kind of surprise is this?" Laurel didn't want to get into trouble right after getting married.

"The point is, it wouldn't have mattered even if I had told you," Hayden said. "You're so clever, I believe you would have

known who it was at a glance."

Laurel was speechless.

Laurel felt that one day she would be driven to death by Hayden.

The car quickly arrived at the Gilbert family's mansion.

The Gilbert family, as the first aristocratic family in Rosegrad City, truly lived up to their reputation.

The villa was situated halfway up the mountain, resembling a medieval estate. Looking at the vast lawn and magnificent architecture, Laurel felt somewhat overwhelmed. "Was he scared by this?" Hayden raised an eyebrow and said.

Laurel denied.

She calmed herself down. After the ser vant respectfully opened the car door for them, she and Hayden got out of the car together.

The former Laurel might have felt uneasy in unfamiliar surroundings. The current Laurel only pushes herself forward.

Laurel and Hayden walked into the hall.

The hall was magnificent.

If Laurel didn't know that this was the Gilbert family's mansion, she would feel like she had walked into the lobby of

a super luxury hotel.

Laurel saw the Gilbert family sitting on the couch from al distance, as if they were waiting for him.

Laurel couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She remembered when she got married to Bruno, they lived together with the Scott family. On the morning after their wedding, Bruno took her to serve tea to his parents. The proud look on his parents' faces, as well as Nellie's deliberate sarcastic remarks to belittle her, Laurel still remembers vividly.

Bruno's explanation to her was that parents are elders, so they naturally put on airs. Bruno asked her to be more tolerant of them. As for Nellie's tantrums, he casually said, "She is still young, and she doesn't mean it. Don't take it to heart."

At that time, Laurel really believed his lie.

She always thought that Bruno's parents' arrogance was only because of their elders' status, and she thought that Nellie's disrespect towards her was only because she was young and ignorant. Laurel squeezed out a smile.

She felt unworthy of her past self and also warned herself that in this new life, she would never again allow herself to be mistreated.

At that moment,

Hayden suddenly grabbed her hand.

Laurel was startled.

"Don't let people misunderstand that we have a bad

relationship," Hayden explained.

"Did they have a good relationship?"

Moreover, Hayden was really stupid and didn't even know how to use the word 'misunderstanding!

He should have said...

Don't let anyone know that we had a bad relationship.

Laurel thought in her mind.

Laurel followed Hayden and walked to the front of the sofa.

Sitting in the middle of the sofa were Phillip and Marlene. On the left side of the sofa were their eldest son, Chace, and his wife, Jerri, and on the right side sat their second son, Jacen, along with a woman whom Laurel did not know. She must be Jacen's girlfriend. In the corner of the sofa, there was also a girl sitting, holding a white ragdoll cat. The cat, just like the girl, was beautiful and adorable. "Laurel, you came so early. You worked so hard yesterday, why don't you take a good rest?" Marlene quickly stood up and affectionately pulled Laurel.

Marlene's friendliness was genuine, not pretended.

This felt completely different from how Elise made her feel back then.

Elise would also behave as if she was very close to her in front of others, but that closeness really disgusted Laurel. However, Marlene did not make her feel this way.

Laurel smiled slightly and said, "Last night, Hayden and I left

early, so we rested and slept well. It was actually you guys. who worked hard."

"We were all family. Let's not mention that thing." Marlene warmly said to Laurel, "Come, quickly take a seat."

"Mom, when the daughter-in-law comes to our house for the first time, she has to first serve tea to you and dad. You have to give her a gift, and then she will have to start calling you mom and dad," Jerri reminded with a smile.

Laurel speculated that she had a good relationship with Marlene.

Judging from what she said, she was not too respectful, but rather spoke about this matter in a joking tone.

"Yeah! I was so happy that I forgot." Marlene slapped her forehead and turned to a ser vant nearby, saying, "Kayla, bring the prepared tea for Hayden and Laurel." "Very well, madam," the ser vant said respectfully.

After a while,

Two maids approached, each carrying a tray with two cups of tea. They walked towards Laurel and Hayden respectively.

Hayden pulled Laurel's hand and both of them knelt down together.

Phillip and Marlene were clearly in a good mood.

They all had kind smiles.

Laurel took the tea handed by the ser vant and placed it in front of Marlene, saying, "Mother, please have some tea."

Marlene couldn't stop smiling when she heard Laurel calling her "mom". She quickly took the tea.

Laurel handed another cup of tea to Phillip and said, “Dad, please have some tea."

"Good child," Phillip nodded repeatedly. His mood was naturally very good as well.

Hayden stood by, a noticeable smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

After Phillip and Marlene finished drinking tea, they quickly took out a gift from their clothes. "This is a little token of our parents' affection. You take it." "Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom," Laurel respectfully accepted.

This was a tradition in Lexingcester.

The morning after the daughter-in-law got married, she needed to serve tea to her parents-in-law. The parents would prepare gifts for the daughter-in-law. However, back then,

Wilbert and Elise, however, pretended to be clueless. They did not prepare any gifts for her.

Laurel did not ask about this matter.

She pretended not to know about this tradition.

"Dad, Mom, please have some tea." Hayden picked up two more cups of tea and handed them to Phillip and Marlene.

After the two people finished drinking,

Another gift was taken out.

The gift was once again handed to Laurel, "Keep it for Hayden."

"Mom," Hayden protested.

"We're married now, so of course the money should be managed by the wife. Ask your dad if he still has any money on hand," Marlene said seriously. Jerri nodded in agreement, "Dad can't go out for breakfast without taking Mom along."

Jerri finished speaking these words.

The whole family laughed.

The family was harmonious and happy.

Laurel could feel the warm welcome from her family.

This was completely different from how the Scott family had made her feel initially.
