Chapter 337 When Genevieve came to the Simpson’s house for dinner again, she was warmly welcomed by the whole family. Carrie was too enthusiastic. But Robbin was not here, and she would never appear in this house again. Bill stood beside and watched Lucas cook, chatting with Genevieve, “Look, the sauce for dumplings is very exquisite. It is all made with mashed garlic back home. Lucas specially transported the garlic from Clusia by air. I heard that it was fresh garlic… Genevieve smiled as she listened to Bill’s introduction to the origin of the garlic. She sighed inwardly.” Do we have to dip the dumplings in the garlic? What if my mouth smells after eating them? But fortunately, there were other foods, and everyone was very happy talking and laughing. Bill had no airs and kept commending Lucas to Genevieve. Carrie was echoing Bill, so she even appeared nicer to him now. “Ms. Lawrence, what do you think of Lucas?” Carrie asked. Genevieve understood what Carrie meant and looked at Lucas with a smile. “Professor Simpson is very nice, I mean, flawless!” Lucas lowered his head and smiled, shaking his head. “Ms. Lawrence, I’m really flattered.” “Lucas is shy. Let me ask for him, Ms. Lawrence, are you willing to let Lucas be your boyfriend and take care of you for the rest of your life?” Carrie asked bluntly. Genevieve was stunned. 1/6 Could she say no in front of Carrie? Genevieve and Lucas met their eyes. She saw her own reflection in his eyes and was slightly stunned. Lucas looked gentle and also stunned, but he soon calmed down. He smiled at Genevieve and then looked at Carrie. “Mrs Simpson, isn’t it too much hurry?” “It’s your father who’s hurried. We all wish to see you being with the person you like!” Carrie looked at Bill with affection. Bill ignored her gaze and looked at Lucas and Genevieve. “Although you are free to love now, there are still too many changes and women often have no security in love. So, I think you should settle down first so that your relationship can gradually grow better.” And then he continued, “We are very sincere. What do you think of it, Ms. Lawrence?” Genevieve was embarrassed at the question. ‘Say yes, but I’m afraid of hurting Lucas. ‘If I refuse, then who knows what Carrie would do to Jeffrey?‘ she thought to herself. Fortunately, she hesitated for less than two seconds before Lucas spoke. “Dad, Ms. Lawrence would be embarrassed if you just asked her this way, not to mention that a proposal should be solemn and romantic, not at the dinner table. What do you think?” Bill suddenly realized that this was not a suitable occasion to mention it. He nodded repeatedly. Perhaps it was because of Genevieve’s face that he couldn’t calmly treat her as an ordinary junior. He really wanted to treat her as a family member, daughter or daughter–in–law. After all, she would be in their 2/6 Chapter 337 family, not other’s. But he was indeed too much in a hurry. “That’s right. It’s my fault. Please don’t mind, Ms. Lawrence.” Genevieve smiled and changed the subject. After dinner, Bill took Genevieve to walk around the house, accompanied by Lucas. They went to the jewelry collection room, and it was like an exhibition hall. The jewelry of a house was supposed to be collected by the mistress. But the jewels of the Simpson family were all on display. Whoever used them could just take them and return them after use. Carrie was no exception. “Look, Ms. Lawrence, if you like, just tell me, I’ll give you some pieces of jewelry as a gift!” Carrie generously proposed. Genevieve glanced at the glittering room. Although she had a lot of jewelry in her house, she still felt tempted at first sight. But she didn’t show her desire. She just smiled. “Mr. Simpson really has a good taste. This diamond should be rough, right?” She pointed to a huge diamond and asked. The unpolished but brilliant gloss of the hard diamond made it appear expensive and rare. Bill’s eyes darkened. He nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, it was mined from South Africa and transported here directly…” Genevieve saw the change in Bill’s eyes and didn’t say anything more. She went around to see other jewelry. Her eyes were fixed on a red wind chime in a white box in the corner. The wind chime looked cheap, and the material was ordinary and old. 3/6 Chapter 337 Genevieve frowned. V3.30 But It looked familiar to her. Bill came over and looked at it, then his face darkened. “This is…” Genevieve was about to say something. “I think I’ve seen it somewhere. It looks familiar.” she continued, saying casually. Bill was slightly stunned, and then his eyes darkened. It was impossible. Genevieve’s eyes flashed, and suddenly she clapped her hands and said, “I remembered. There is one in my father’s study, which seems to be brought by my mother from abroad.” Bill thought it was funny and chuckled, “Really?” Genevieve also laughed and talked about some interesting things at home, “My mom said that this wind chime cost tens of thousands of dollars, and my father really believed it. He thought it was too pricey. she continued, “It was too expensive for a wind chime. Because of this, my father even gave me more pocket money. He said that no matter how hard it was, his child must not bear the brunt. So, I held a bag of chips in front of them and said that it cost me dozens of bucks per bag, which really pissed my mom off…” Bill burst out laughing. Lucas also smiled. Bill stretched out his hand and pointed at her head. “Your parents love you so much.” “Of course they do,” Genevieve replied decisively and proudly. She was beautiful and decent, not to be carried away by the enthusiasm of Bill. This was why Bill appreciated her more. In the evening, Lucas sent her back. 4/6 Chapter 337 On the way, they were very quiet in the car. With what happened in the daytime and Carrie’s words in her mind, Genevieve felt that things could not be dragged on. Lucas suddenly said casually, “Ms. Lawrence, why didn’t you agree to the engagement?” “What?” Genevieve was slightly surprised. Lucas paused and smiled calmly. “Who hasn’t been alert growing up in this house? Carrie tried everything to set you up with me, and it turned out that she really meant it. Did she come to you in private? Can you tell me what the terms are?” Genevieve pursed her lips and blushed, feeling a little ashamed. She then told him about the deal with Carrie. After all, she trusted Lucas more than Carrie. After a few minutes of silence, Lucas pulled over. The dark night was extremely quiet. The ground was very clean because of the wet weather, and even the shadows of trees could be seen clearly. “So, she has been threatening you since the day the mad dog disappeared?” Lucas‘ voice was a little deep and restrained. Genevieve pursed her lips and looked out the window. “Yes, I have been stalling for time to see if I can start with the people around her, but so far I’ve got nothing.” Carrie should hide secrets deeper than Genevieve thought. Lucas put one hand on the steering wheel. His thin knuckles were slightly curved and clean, like a work of art. After a long time, he spoke again, “In that case, let’s get engaged.”
