Chapter 52
Oliver’s words were so shocking, it was as if a bomb was dropped.
In an instant, Sienna blushed.
Yelena, Calista, and Joanna gasped.
Sienna was so embarrassed that she wanted to slap Oliver. She thought, “This man is well-behaved when he isn’t drinking alcohol, but he can’t control his mouth after drinking!”
Sebastian’s eyelids twitched several times, and he asked Oliver with a grim face, “Why do you want to protect the baby in her belly?”
Oliver patted his chest and answered, “Because… that baby is my child!”
Sebastian stood up immediately, feeling an impulse to flip the table.
He thought. “Shit! I took care of her like a treasure for 24 years, and this guy comes and takes advantage of her!”
Although Sienna was embarrassed and anxious, she still hurried to Sebastian and held his arm to keep him from hitting
Oliver.
“Dad, Dad, please sit down and have some food. Come on! Have a bite of lobster!”
Sebastian had never seen Sienna address him as Dad so earnestly. Seeing her pleading gaze, he suddenly relented.
No matter how simple-minded Jason and Calista were, they could tell something was wrong from Oliver’s words. That beautiful young lady had a child in her belly that belonged to the Eastwood family.
Jason immediately poured himself a glass of wine from the bottle, picked it up, and said to Sebastian, “Well… Sebastian, young people nowadays are full of youthful vigor. We don’t follow the rules of ancient times. If someone is to take the blame, it is Oliver and the Eastwood family. But since the situation has developed to this stage, we should not blame our children. Sebastian, please tell us what your plan is. We will do as you say!”
Sebastian felt calmer after listening to Jason’s words. Although the Eastwood family was not a family of scholars, they still had a righteous attitude and knew how to behave according to the situation.
He then looked at the person involved, Oliver, who was sleeping soundly on the table.
Judging from Oliver’s previous manner of speech and behavior, he had a good personality, but his behavior after drinking wine was definitely unacceptable.
Yelena glanced coldly at Sienna and asked, “What do you guys plan to do?”
In front of the Eastwood family, she could not ask Sienna about the details on the spot because the Kaiserman family would be on the short end of the stick.
Sienna was embarrassed and annoyed. She stammered, “Mom, O-Oliver said to let our parents meet and discuss it today. Then we’ll choose a date to tie the knot this month…”
Calista saw that the atmosphere had become awkward, so she quickly offered, “Mrs. Kaiserman, if your family doesn’t mind that Oliver is not worthy of Sienna, then… let’s do what they want. I’ll find someone to choose an auspicious day as soon as possible in this month to let them get married. Besides, we’ll observe the rules required. We’ll pay for the betrothal gifts, wedding ceremony, and whatever’ is necessary!”
Yelena frowned and was unhappy. “Sebastian and I only have one daughter. We’re not selling our daughter, so the betrothal gifts can be excluded. The wedding doesn’t need to be grand and luxurious. It’ll put our children in trouble if we spend too much. We’d better leave them with more money so they can live a better life. Sebastian and I have saved around 20,000 dollars over the years. We’ll pay the down payment to let them choose a better house…”
Calista felt touched by Yelena’s words. She thought, “As expected, this well-educated family is very different from the others. They’re giving us such a beautiful young lady for free and are even offering financial assistance to help us buy a house!”
Joanna sat next to Sienna. Seeing her embarrassed and annoyed face, the former hurriedly pulled her to sit down and whispered, “Sister-in-law!”
Sienna was ashamed. When she replied to Joanna’s message back then, she said bluntly: [I won’t fall in love with Oliver, so I can’t be your sister-in-law.] But now, she had to eat her words.
Sienna glanced at Oliver, who was asleep on the table. She was dying to handcuff him and send him to the police station to be tortured severely.
However, apart from feeling ashamed and furious, Sienna was relieved that the matter was perfectly resolved.
The two families had no room for retreat, so they discussed things happily without covering anything up.
In the end, the two families reached a mutual agreement pleasantly. The Eastwood family would invite the priest to choose an auspicious day. The Kaiserman family would choose the new house and pay the down payment, while the Eastwood family would settle the monthly mortgage. The wedding expenses would be split equally between both parties.
At first, Calista suggested that the Eastwood family take charge of everything, but Yelena firmly refused and insisted on contributing half. The former had no choice but to compromise in the end.
Joanna went to the front desk and paid the bill when she went to the restroom. The bill was more than 4,400 dollars and not cheap, but she could not let Sienna’s family pay for it.
Despite the fuss about the awkward situation of having a marriage due to an unplanned pregnancy, the meal was still pleasant. When they went home, Sienna drove her parents.
Joanna called a designated driver, and the family returned to Juset Riveria Residences.
On the way, Calista could not help but praise the unconscious Oliver. “My son has finally been enlightened and even got himself such a beautiful wife. The in-laws are also well-educated. That’s a good thing, a good thing!”
Jason nodded in agreement and echoed, “I think Sebastian and Yelena have good personalities. Oliver has earned a few hundred thousand dollars, so we shouldn’t be stingy with money. Even so, I think we should pay for everything. They’re pretty much giving us such a beautiful daughter for nothing!”
Joanna said smilingly, “I didn’t expect that Sienna and I would be classmates. I arranged a blind date for them before, but she texted me saying it didn’t work out. Now, she’s suddenly becoming my sister- in-law again…”
After traveling for a while, Jason noticed that they were heading in the wrong direction and could not help but ask the driver, “Sir, did you take the wrong road? My house is not in this direction!”
Joanna flashed him a mysterious smile. “Dad, stop asking. There is a place I want to take you all to!”
When they arrived at Juset Riveria Residences, the driver helped carry Oliver into the mansion, then left after receiving the car fare.
Seeing Joanna bring them into the remarkable and luxurious mansion, Jason and Calista looked around and asked, “What did you bring us here for? Whose house is this?”
Calista wondered if this was the house prepared by the Kaiserman family for Oliver and Sienna, but such a luxurious mansion must have cost a lot of money.
Joanna pulled Jason and Calista to the couch with a smile, sat down, and pointed at Oliver, who was thrown on the couch. She revealed, “Dad, Mom, Oliver bought this house. It’s worth more than 2 million dollars. We didn’t tell you before because we wanted to surprise you!”
“Oliver bought it? More than 2-2 million dollars?”
Both Jason and Calista were shocked. Then they hurriedly asked Joanna, “Your brother… How did he get so much money? Didn’t he only earn 800 thousand dollars?”
Joanna shook her head. “It’s not 800 thousand dollars. After that, he earned a few million dollars. Last week, he said he was going to Manchernius. He made 120 million dollars this time!”
“120… million dollars?” Jason and Calista were astounded.
Before, they were already shocked by Oliver’s sudden earning of 800 thousand dollars. Now they could not believe there was a mansion worth more than 2 million dollars, and that he had earned another 120 million dollars. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
They wondered what Oliver was doing. Even if one was a robber, it was difficult to get the money that quickly!
