Chapter 1661
"Mom, what's wrong?" Levi had never seen Mia like this before. He anxiously reached his hand out and waved in front of her eyes. "Mrs. Brown, are you alright?" "Wh-what could not be alright?" Mia's eyes were fixed on Monique, who was beside Levi. At first glance, she felt that Monique was gorgeous, and there was a heroic air to her.
Monique's hair was cut very short, her skin was soft and tender, and she looked like a valiant beauty. Mia inwardly praised her son for having a good eye, and that the wife he chose was on par with her.
Not only was she on par with her, but she was equally beautiful. They were all beauties and each had her own charm. "Brat, oh, I mean, Levi, introduce this beautiful girl to your father and me." Mia was talking to Levi but her eyes were trained on Monique.
"Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend, Monique Zellweger." Levi's voice grew gentle and he added, "Monique, this old handsome man in front of you is my father and this stuttering beauty is my mother."
Mia immediately stepped forward and pulled Monique in. She took a closer look at the young lady and said in satisfaction, "Monique, I'm glad that you've come to our house. You must visit us more often in the future."
"Nice to meet you, Aunt Mia!" Compared to Mia's casual air, Monique was much more reserved. "Colonel Brown, nice to meet you!"
"We're at home, not in the military. We're going to be one family in the future, so don't be so formal. You can just call me Uncle Neil." Neil didn't sound as enthusiastic as Mia but what he said made Monique feel validated. It felt more pleasant than any other compliment.
"Yes, Colonel!" Monique instinctively gave him a standard military salute.
Neil was speechless.
Seeing how frank and cute this girl was, Mia wanted to laugh but she held it in. This was Monique's first time coming to their house, so she definitely couldn't show her true colors yet in fear of scaring this girl away, especially so such a cute and fun girl.
In an instant, many images flashed through Mia's mind. If Levi really could marry such a beautiful and lovely girl, she would be able to tease her daughter-in-law whenever she could. Then, their life at home would be even more lively.
Levi quickly tugged Monique and whispered into her ear, "Neil isn't as scary as you think him to be. Just relax and treat him like an ordinary middle-aged man."
"I..." Monique also wanted to, but the tall, handsome middle-aged man in front of her was the biggest leader in their military region. Usually, it was difficult for her to catch a glance of him even from far away, bu currently, she was in front of the chief in such close proximity. How could she, an ordinary soldier, not be excited and nervous?
"What are you trying to say? Alright, I'll introduce the other members of my family." Levi held Monique's hand and introduced everyone to her so that she could have a gist of the members of their big family. Karen Joy and Vanessa greeted Monique and everyone had a good impression of her. They also felt relieved that Levi had finally settled down.
Perhaps only someone like Monique, who was so valiant, could make him do so.
"Monique, let's go sit down first." Mia beckoned her warmly, afraid that her daughter-in-law would grow tired.
At this moment, Karen and Kevin came back from the hospital with the two little ones.
Seeing such a beautiful woman at home, Larry quickly pulled Lawrie in front of Monique and said in a sweet voice, "Miss, you're so beautiful. Can we be friends?"
It was Monique's first time meeting Levi's parents who are from such a rich and powerful family. At first, she couldn't relax. At this instant, two lovely children were asking her whether they could be friends with her. The little tension she had disappeared before she knew it.
She kneeled down and tried her best to be on eye level with the little ones. "Well, you're Larry and you're Lawrie, right? I've only just heard Levi mention you, so I didn't expect to see you two so soon." Larry and Lawrie replied, "Then you're willing to become friends with us, Miss?"
Who would be willing to refuse such adorable little ones? Monique nodded and said, "Of course. I also want to be friends with you."
Larry and Lawrie immediately went forward and pecked both of Monique's cheeks. "Miss, we kissed you, so now you're our friend. You can't go back on your words."
Monique said happily, "Of course, we're lifelong friends now."
"You two little ones, let her go." Seeing his girlfriend being kissed by two kids, Levi felt a bit uneasy. He had never kissed Monique's face himself, how could they have gotten to do it first?
Levi wanted to peel the two kids away, but they reacted faster. They rushed into Monique's arms before he acted and pleaded, "Miss, we like you. Hug us."
Monique protected the two little ones like she was their mother. She didn't even have to speak up and only glared at Levi before he withdrew his hand obediently.
If that wasn't irritating enough, the two little kids, still in Monique's arms, secretly gave him triumphant looks, boasting that they had won again.
Levi swore to himself that he would give those two kids a good beating in the future.
"Larry, Lawrie, why don't we invite this lady to the living room first? You'll tire her out if she keeps kneeling down here. Could you two invite her into the house and take good care of her?" Before Monique was part of the family, Mia had already grown concerned about her.
"Okay, okay! Miss, let's go into the house together," said Larry and Lawrie while pulling Monique along.
Karen and Kevin had also arrived. Kevin was still the same, his expression indifferent, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry. He didn't look at Monique too much too. Instead, it was Karen who looked at Monique judgingly.
Aside from already having a good impression of Monique at first glance, the fact that the two little ones liked Monique so much meant that this girl must be a good person.
Truth be told, children made better judgement of people than adults.
Levi quickly grabbed Monique and said, "Monique, don't go with the two little kids, I still have an elder to introduce to you."
Introducing elders was just a reason. He was just too eager to reclaim Monique's attention.
"This is Aunt Karen and Uncle Kevin," Levi said to Monique who became nervous all over again.
The elegant and noble couple in front of her was the founder of Rovio Corporation Inc. and his wife. She heard many good things about them and this day, she finally saw them in the flesh. Monique suddenly felt that her life was complete.
