Chapter 29 The Proposal for Marriage
With Mond's consent, Noah continued speaking.
"For betrothal presents, I will prepare them for you. You don't need to worry about that. You just need to be there on time. That's all."
He was implying that he was ridiculing Mond indirectly that Mond couldn't even afford bride's presents. What a cunning fox he was! He could gain much more than the cost of presents while he wanted to show his kindness before Mond.
However, like last time, Mond nodded to show his agreement. He winked at Charlie, who was next to him, to indicate he want to leave.
Charlie received the order and pushed Mond away without saying a word. He should have greeted them, but Noah belittled the four young master. So, sorry, he could only leave his beautiful back to Noah to appreciate. The house of the Nie Family....
These days, Nancy had been immersed in the summer vacation and couldn't get herself out of it. She ate when she was hungry, slept when she was tired. When she felt bored, she went to play with Sam. She had totally forgotten her sudden crush on Mond the other day, as if it had never happened.
After that day, her parents also seriously asked her what her attitude was to this marriage. After she agreed, she told them all the reqiurements she had discussed with Mond, except the recorder pen.
The parents were relieved to hear that. Mond was a good man at first glance. Since it was their daughter's own decision, it was not forced, and they could do nothing more. What they could do was to support their daughter as always.
On the contrary, Sam had a hard time these days, struggling and oppressed. Since that day, he had been looking for a chance to talk with Nancy, but it seemed that Nancy had no intention of telling him anything. Besides, she played with him every day. Thus, he was unable to speak and had to keep his question.
Among all the people, Nancy's favorite sports was swimming. Precisely, she liked to stay in water, so there was a huge swimming pool behind her house. It was specially prepared for her. She went there almost every day on summer vacation.
But since the holiday this year, the weather had been bad. It was raining and colder. She had to give up her plan of swimming every day.
Finally, it was sunny today, and she was very eager to swim. She had long wanted to go swimming, but after lunch, she couldn't wait to put on her swimsuit and rushed to the swimming pool.
To be honest, she was like a beautiful and elegant mermaid in the water. Her face was delicate; she was slender; and her skin was fair and tender. She looked quiet and beautiful, like a fantastic flower in the water.
Something was about to happen while she didn't know.
In the car, Mond and Noah were sitting in the back seats. Charlie was driving in the direction of the Nie Family. The atmosphere was unusually weird.
Charlie held his breath. If he had known it earlier, he would have let Ron drive the car. He wanted to live a few more years and regret!
Fortunately, the Nie Family wasn't far away and they arrived soon.
In the living room of the Nie Family, Ivy was watching TV. There was laughter coming from her because of the recent popular reality show. Her husband, Nate, was working in the study upstairs. Although the company was always busy, he would still spare time to accompany her and her daughter. She was very pleased about this.
All of a sudden, the doorbell rang and a servant opened the door. Ivy was wondering who would visit her today. When she turned around, she saw Mond and his father, Noah, and a few men behind them. They seemed to be carrying something in their hands. She was a little surprised, but she quickly put on a decent smile.
"Mr. Mond, nice to meet you. Why didn't you tell me in advance? We can make preparations for the visit. You must be Mond's father. I'm Ivy Li, the mother of Nancy. Nice to meet you. Please have a seat."
"The guests have come. Why not serve them some tea and snacks? Oh, right. Go upstairs to ask Nate to come down, go to the swimming pool to call lady Nancy here," Ivy turned around and ordered the servant.
Hearing her words, Mond guessed that maybe she was swimming. He didn't expect that she was so versatile, then he quickly wrote some words on the paper and handed it to Ivy.
"I'll go to bring Nancy here."
Ivy was very happy when she saw it. It seemed that Mond really liked Nancy. She said, "since Mr. Mond wants to go to bring Nancy here, why not? Please go to the swimming pool."
In the swimming pool, Nancy was still swimming very happily. She didn't have the time to care about anything else. She just wanted to have fun in the water.
Maybe because she hadn't swam for such a long time, she felt a little tired and wanted to go ashore to have a rest. But when she got out of the shower, she was really shocked. Her eyes were as big as two bells, full of surprise and disbelief. Why was Mond here? What was he doing here? What should she do now? She was very embarrassed.
Mond just came over to see how Nancy was swimming. There seemed to be a beautiful mermaid swimming happily in the swimming pool from a distance. When he looked closer, it was a little pretty girl. She was more beautiful and enchanting in the water, which fascinated him for a moment.
When she got out of the water, Mond's heart seemed to miss a beat. The face without makeup was washed by water, which made it fairer and tenderer. But she was surprised obviously. Was he disgusted with her?
Seeing them like this, Charlie didn't know how long they would look at each other. Although it was summer, it was not good for Nancy's health to stay in the water for so long. Charlie took a bath towel and cautiously said, "Miss Nancy, your mother asked you to go to the hall as soon as possible. This is a bath towel."
Seeing this, Nancy quickly went ashore. She took the bath towel and quickly wrapped herself up in an attempt not to be seen by Mond. Fortunately, she was wearing the most conservative bathrobe today, and it was fortunate that she was wise enough. Then she quickly walked in.
As she walked, she muttered to herself, 'what happened to me? Why did I suddenly become stunned? Does that man think I'm obsessed with his handsome face? Never mind. I'll go to change my clothes first.'.
Mond couldn't help but titter when he saw her run away again. She was so lovely, especially when she wrapped herself so tightly. He believed that she must have thought of him as that kind of person. God was the witness. He was a real gentleman. The living room was filled with bustle, which could be heard from afar.
When Noah saw Nate come downstairs, he first greeted Nate and then straight confirm his intention.
"Actually, I'm here for the marriage of two children. Now that the two kids have known each other, we parents should discuss the wedding details, such as the date for the wedding and the invitation for guests. I think you are smart enough to understand what I mean.
