Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104: Short
In just a few days of getting to know each other, the relationship between the two progressed quite smoothly.
Stella Charlie found that Owen Orwell had a particular quality she especially liked, which was that he wouldn’t give her the opportunity to overthink.
If he needed to handle something today and couldn’t accompany her, he would inform Stella Charlie in advance.
Even if they didn’t meet, the two would chat about daily life on the phone every day.
Of course, Owen Orwell tried his best to make time to accompany Stella Charlie.
Even if he was busy with work until eleven at night, when Owen returned, he would take a detour to bring Stella Charlie her favorite dessert snacks.
Being with Owen Orwell, Stella Charlie felt that she was in someone’s heart and being thought of.
This noon, as before, Owen Orwell came to Stella Charlie’s company to wait for her to get off work for lunch together.
Stella Charlie noticed that Owen Orwell seemed to have something on his mind, as if he had something he wanted to say but didn’t know how.
Halfway through the meal, Owen Orwell said, "Stella, my parents are coming over in a couple of days, and they want to meet you." freewebnoveℓ.com
Stella Charlie’s eating paused for a moment. Seeing that Stella Charlie seemed unprepared and worried she might be troubled, Owen Orwell quickly added, "If you feel uncomfortable, I can talk to them. I can say it’s too rushed; they really just asked me to see what you think..."
Noticing Owen Orwell’s scattered explanation, Stella Charlie smiled and said, "I can go."
She was just a bit surprised that Owen Orwell wanted to introduce her to his family so soon.
Owen Orwell’s family conditions were quite good, and she initially thought Owen would be someone who would meticulously select a partner.
Stella Charlie thought she would at least be "evaluated" for a year or so before being confirmed as "qualified" to meet the parents.
But unexpectedly, in just over half a month, Owen Orwell was already introducing her to his family.
Stella Charlie felt this could be a kind of acknowledgment of her.
She also wanted to continue being with Owen Orwell, and meeting his family was something that would happen sooner or later.
Seeing Stella Charlie agree, Owen Orwell’s smile visibly relaxed: "They decided to come over suddenly, and it really troubled you to inform you like this."
Stella Charlie smiled and said, "I’m just surprised you would have me meet your family so soon."
"Actually, I’ve already made up my mind about you; I’m just worried you might not accept me. I’ve also told my parents about you, and they quite like you too. As long as you’ve considered it, we can get married anytime."
After speaking, Owen Orwell seemed to realize his words were inappropriate and quickly explained again: "I don’t mean to rush you into agreeing, just to express my feelings for you and hope you don’t have any concerns."
Seeing Owen Orwell’s anxious explanation, Stella Charlie couldn’t help but smile, "I understand."
She knew Owen Orwell was someone who really cared for her and would always consider her feelings.
"My parents are quite easygoing, so you don’t need to be nervous; they won’t make things difficult for you."
...
Perhaps because Owen Orwell had mentioned it beforehand, his parents were indeed very friendly towards her.
At the dining table, Mrs. Owens pulled Stella Charlie to sit beside her, holding her hand happily saying, "I just hope Owen finds a Chinese wife so she can accompany me at home and enjoy hometown dishes."
Owen Orwell said, "My mom’s cooking is pretty good."
Stella Charlie politely said, "I’ll have to learn from Auntie in the future."
"No need to learn, I’ve taught it all to Owen; he’ll cook for you later."
Owen Orwell suddenly received a phone call, stood up, and said, "Mom, Aunt and the others have arrived; I’ll go downstairs to pick them up."
