Chapter 1659
"No matter how capable she is, she is still my younger sister who I've raised." Vivian understood Levi's logic. However, she had single-handedly raised Monique. How could she just let her go as she wished? "Vivian, Monique definitely knows your love for her, but you should let her become independent. More importantly, you should make plans for your future. You should know that if you live a happy life, only then will Monique be glad." Levi's words were especially sincere. He wanted to tell Vivian not to treat Monique as a child and to see her strengths instead. Moreover, he wanted Vivian to not always worry about Monique and to live her days freely instead.
"Okay, okay, I get it. Please take good care of her for me. If even a strand of her hair is hurt, I won't go easy on you." After that, Vivian hung up.
"Your family members' personalities are very strong." Levi put down the phone and turned around to look into Monique's contemplative eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"Levi, am I really as excellent in your eyes as you said?"
"When did I say you're excellent?" The fact that Monique was exemplary was something Levi knew from the bottom of his heart and was being sincere about when he told Vivian that. He didn't even think that he was praising Monique. However, Monique took them to heart.
It turned out that she was this wonderful in his eyes. Monique looked at Levi, smiling.
The man in front of her still wore the same arrogant face she saw when she first met him. However, she felt that there were a lot more other sides to him. Especially when he looked at her, he was really gentle. Thinking of that, Monique suddenly changed her mind. "Levi, both of your parents are in Madison City, aren't they?"
Levi replied, "That's right. My aunt, Silvia, had a baby and everyone moved to Madison City."
Monique took the opportunity to snuggle into Levi's arms and asked, "What do your parents like?"
Levi replied instantly, "They love public displays of affection. Those two really have made me feel so uncomfortable for these twenty years or so. As long as they're still alive, not a day goes by comfortably for me." "Who would say that about their parents?" Monique was amused by Levi's words as she clutched her stomach, laughing.
"It's true!" There were some things that Levi hasn't even mentioned. For example, Julien, who was not much older than him, already has a child, but Levi was still a bachelor at his age. Furthermore, every couple in his family was extremely affectionate. Every time they showed affection, it was a whole new level. Only Levi, the bachelor, was still being tormented.
"I asked you what your parents like, as in what kind of gifts they would like to receive?" Monique asked again. She waited for Levi's answers but he didn't reply.
In the past, Levi thought he knew his parents well. Now that someone had suddenly asked him, he really couldn't think of what they liked on the spot.
Just as Levi couldn't give her an answer, he received a message from Mia.
The text message read, "You brat, tell her that your mother doesn't lack anything except a daughter-in-law."
Levi grew speechless.
He stayed stunned for a few seconds before realizing that he might be spied on.
He immediately looked around him but he couldn't find any suspicious people.
Just as he was looking around, he received another message from Mia, "Stop looking around. I got Neil to send someone to follow you. You won't be able to discover them."
Levi replied to her message, "Mrs. Brown, haven't you crossed the line?"
Mia replied, "It's not my first time following and monitoring you. There's nothing over the line about this."
Levi was left speechless once again.
Mia continued to say, "Levi, let me tell you something. If you're serious about this girl and want to spend the rest of your life with her, then bring her to meet your father and me. If not, don't break her heart; let her go."
"Yes, I'm serious about Monique!" Levi thought.
Levi was absolutely serious about her.
However, the problem at the moment wasn't that he didn't want Monique to meet his parents but it was that she didn't want to meet his parents.
He believed that he was the proactive one in this relationship, therefore she had always stayed passive.
Seeing that Levi was in a daze while looking at his phone, Monique nudged him and said, "Levi, I'm talking to you, what are you looking at?" Levi put his cell phone back in his pocket and said, "I was reading the messages from my mother."
Monique asked, "What messages?"
Levi said, "It's nothing. I'll go to the hotel with you first. When you're done resting, then you'll have the energy to have fun in Madison City."
"Well, let's go to the hotel to put the things first then." Levi was normally a smart man but he grew silly when he fell in love. Monique asked him what his parents liked as she was planning to buy a gift before meeting them. However, his answer made Monique both frustrated and amused.
If Monique had not thought that she understood his thinking, she would have been furious at him. "Levi, accompany me to go to the supermarket later."
"Aren't you tired after the long flight? Do you still have the energy to go shopping?" He really was so dumb. Monique had hinted at it so clearly, but he still didn't understand.
Monique said, "Of course I'm tired, but there are some important tasks that have to be done first no matter how tired I am."
"Important tasks?" Levi suddenly grew unhappy. "In Madison City, other than me, who's more important to you? What other important tasks do you have?"
Monique asked, "Do you want to quarrel again?"
Levi retorted, "I'm jealous."
Monique replied, "You're even jealous of yourself?"
"What do you mean?"
"I changed my mind. I want to meet your parents."
"Really?" Levi asked in disbelief.
"What do I get out of lying to you?"
"Driver, please go to West Side Villa Area instead," Levi reacted quickly and immediately asked the driver to switch their destination. Then, he said to Monique, "Monique, you're meeting my parents willingly. I won't give you a chance to go back on this. Do you understand?"
"Levi..." Without waiting for Monique to finish speaking, Levi sealed her mouth with his lips and kissed her to not hear any unwanted words. After the kiss, Levi said, "Monique, I won't allow you to regret this." "I never regret any decisions I make, unless..." She looked at him firmly, "...unless you do something to make me regret it."
Monique cleverly changed the focus of their conversation to Levi. In other words, as long as he didn't regret starting this relationship with her, she wouldn't either.
Only if he regretted and did something that would destroy their relationship that only would she regret it. Otherwise, she would love only him in this life and would never be in a relationship with anyone else ever again.
