Chapter 1657
Levi said, "Before we have some fun, I'd like you to meet a few people, Monique."
"Who?" Monique asked. She had a rough idea of what he was implying, but didn't really want to believe it.
"My parents, of course!" Levi then pushed Monique into a taxi and told the driver, "Mister, to the north gate of the West Side Villa Area ."
"But... but..." Monique had suspected this much, but she was still taken aback, hearing it from Levi himself. "No, I'm not ready, I really can't do this now."
Upon hearing Monique's words, the driver turned his head to cast a glance at the two of them. The look in his eyes directed at Levi was like he was looking at ten criminals.
"Don't be foolish." Levi hugged Monique and comforted her, "Strangers might think that I kidnapped you."
Monique stuttered, "We haven't been together for half a month. We haven't even watched a movie together or gone travelling together. We haven't done anything most couples should have already done. I'm not ready to meet your parents yet."
Monique just wanted to follow her heart and fall in love with him without regrets. She really didn't want to meet his parents, even more so to think if they would be together for long.
Now that Levi suddenly said that he would take her to see her parents, she instantly panicked and was at a loss.
It was not because she was unwilling, but because she had too many concerns.
If Levi's parents did not like her and stopped her from dating him, then their relationship would be over. She didn't even have a chance to hold his hand or watch a movie together. Monique felt a pang of reluctance upon thinking of this.
"Monique, it doesn't matter. We'll make up for those things after meeting my parents. We'll go fool around in the afternoon and go to the movies at night. It will only take a day to make up for these things that you wish for." Levi grew up amongst many women, so he could easily see through the minds of women.
For example, in the past, whenever his mother, Mia, frowned, Levi would immediately know the reason. However, alas, it was only Monique that he could not comprehend.
Levi, who always had a clear mind, didn't expect to not understand Monique's mind due to being involved with her himself.
He thought that what Monique cared about was that they were not dating normally like other couples and did not know the worry and fear in Monique's heart at all.
Perhaps, in his eyes, Monique was still that extremely powerful woman that could not be beaten.
Perhaps, he was too eager to take Monique to meet his parents, so he did not follow normal dating procedures,
"To make up for these things that you wish for," Monique grew prickly at Levi's words. "Levi, I think we have different views on this. We better calm down first and think about it. Let's not be so impulsive." "Impulsive? Why did you say 'impulsive'?" Levi did not realise that he had misspoken. "I've already met your parents. Why is it considered impulsive for you to meet mine now?"
In his haste to introduce Monique to his family, Levi had ignored Monique's worries and concerns.
"I just don't want to meet your parents." Monique had too many concerns. His family background really was too different from hers. Even if he didn't care, what about his parents? His relatives? His friends? Would they mind?
In the past, Monique has not thought so much about it, until he proposed to take her to see his parents. Similar to a tidal wave, all their differences came to her mind like an unstoppable force.
Levi said angrily, "Monique, I've already said that I'd fulfill your wishes, but you still don't want to see my parents. What on earth are you thinking? Or is that you've never thought of being in a serious relationship with me?"
Monique was already nervous because she was worried. Now, she became both angry and anxious after hearing Levi's words until her hands started trembling and sweating. Levi noticed and asked, "Monique what's wrong? Are you sick?"
Monique brushed his hand off. "You said that we're going to see your parents, but I'm really not prepared yet. I'm so afraid, until I've become like this. If I didn't want to have a good relationship with you as you said, why would I come to Madison City to look for you?"
"If you aren't ready, then we won't go meet my parents. We'll go again when you're ready." Perhaps he was too hasty and misunderstood her. He felt guilty and regretful. "You must be tired after flying for so long. Go to the hotel to rest for a bit and then I'll accompany you to walk around outside."
"Levi, it's really not that I don't want to meet your parents. Please give me a little more time." Monique looked at Levi's frowning expression. "Are you unhappy that I don't want to meet your parents?" "Silly!" Levi's heart softened at her words. He caressed her head and said, "Meeting one's parents has to be done out of willingness. You're not ready yet, so I'll wait for you. The reason why I'm anxious is that need you to know that I'm absolutely serious about this relationship. You have to believe in me and also believe in yourself."
In the past, in Monique's heart, Levi was just a rich, spoiled boy who knew nothing. He could join the Red Eagle Special Forces only by relying on his father's prestige. Later, when they started to get along, Monique gradually realized that Levi had a lot of merits.
Not only did he have his own abilities and charms, but he also had many merits to him, so many that she had fallen in love with him subconsciously. It was precisely because she had fallen in love with him that she was afraid that she could not measure up to him. She was afraid that she would lose this relationship before it got good.
Monique was relieved that he too had her in his heart. "Levi, I'll do my best. You have to believe me."
"You're as good as the guys in the Red Eagle, or even more exemplary. Of course, I'd believe in you," Levi said with a smile.
Monique didn't want to talk about her past heroic deeds while they were on a date, so she immediately changed the topic, "Levi, do you know why I came to Madison City to see you?"
"Because you missed me." Levi had always been so confident, even thick-skinned if one were to be blunt. "Monique, if you say that you came here not for me, I'd bully you."
"It's true that I've missed you more than you could fathom." Monique looked at Levi, corners of her lips curving upwards. "I hadn't seen you for only two days, but I had already missed you more than I could ever imagine, so I secretly booked a ticket to Madison City to see you without my family knowing."
