Chapter 535
Christopher said it word by word, and it made Raina feel even more embarrassed.
However, the corner of Felicia's lips curled up upon hearing that. A shrewd glint flashed across her eyes.
It seemed that he was not completely useless.
Raina felt even more resentful. She did have such a plan, but to be exact, it was her father's plan.
The Meyer family was rich and wealthy. Such an issue would be just a piece of cake for them.
"Miss Clark, I'm sorry if this is for your family. We won't agree to this marriage." Vanessa finally understood what was going on.
Erine inexplicably wanted to laugh as she saw Raina's embarrassed face.
Sometimes, one should not scheme too clearly. Things often turned out differently.
With her face flushed red, Raina grabbed her bag and left.
Ysabelle glanced at Felicia, "Didn't you investigate it thoroughly?"
"I also wanted to see if Christopher would agree to it. Who knows what he'll unexpectedly gain." How could Felicia not investigate the matter? She knew Raina's temper very well.
She just wanted to do him a favor. It was up to others how they wanted to think about it. Besides, it was also his will about what he wanted to do.
It had nothing to do with her.
Ysabelle twitched the corner of her mouth and turned around to inspect Brine. She thought she looked familiar.
Brine also noticed her. After some time, she finally remembered who she was, "Miss Meyer."
"Miss Harrison, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you back?"
"I'm an exchange student. I might stay for a few months."
Vanessa's sharp eye noticed that something was going on. If Ysabelle knew her, it meant that this person had a background.
"Do you know each other?"
"Yes, when I was abroad, my staff member was hospitalized because of an accidental injury. Miss Harrison saved him."
"Well, please have a seat. Miss Harrison, have you come from abroad?" Vanessa pulled her over to take a seat.
Brine was somewhat unaccustomed to the sudden enthusiasm.
However, she still sat down obediently.
Except for Christopher, everyone in the Meyer family was looking at her. Erine was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, Uncle, this..."
"No, have you heard what happened to Christopher before? This boy is very uncertain, but you're the first one whom he brought back to meet us." Vanessa held her hand and noticed the calluses on her hand, so she knew that she was a simple child.
Christopher was a good judge of character. He found himself a good girlfriend.
Erine was a little embarrassed, "It's my honor."
"Mom, we haven't eaten yet. Where's the meal?" Christopher interrupted, mainly because he felt that Erine wasn't used to it. With so many people looking at her, it was really a little...
"Yes, yes, that's right. We'll have our meal right away," Vanessa replied with a smile as she spoke to the butler.
The butler had made all the arrangements.
Soon, the meal was ready.
At the dining table, Ysabelle asked about Erine's work. She was a sincere person and she could talk a lot, which was the complete opposite of
Everleigh.
Felicia and Christopher looked at her from time to time and found that she was quite sincere.
Erine realized that something was wrong halfway through her speech, "I'm sorry... I'm this way. I talk a lot."
Vanessa saw that she was embarrassed and quickly explained, "It doesn't matter. Our family needs a person who can talk. It's been quiet all this while if there's only the two of us at home. If you have the time, please come over often."
"Mom, don't worry. Erine is a warm- hearted person. She'll visit more often," Christopher went along with her.
Erine stared at him with her eyes widened, and then she immediately reacted, "Of course, I enjoy being with you all."
"That's good. Let's eat more." Vanessa gave her some food. She liked her very much.
After the meal, Erine wanted to go back, but she couldn't stop Ysabelle from making her stay, "Please stay. The Meyer family's house is big. I heard that you know how to play cards. You can play with us for a while."
Erine looked at them and was amused. It was her first time visiting them. To put it bluntly, she might not even marry their son, but they were treating her as part of their family.
Could it be that everyone in the Meyer family was like that?
On the table, Vanessa threw out a card and asked, "Erine, what does your family do?"
"My family is involved in the real estate business, but it has nothing to do with me. I'm an illegitimate daughter," Erine said lightly, as if she was talking about someone else.
When the Meyer family heard that, they all stared at her with wide eyes, including Christopher. He had never asked anyone about their family background. It didn't matter as long as he liked them.
Erine would not hide anything. She was clear that they would definitely investigate her and would find out sooner or later. It would be better for her to be honest, or at least she would give them an impression that she was honest.
"I won." Erine picked up Felicia's card and put it on the table.
Felicia should give her money.
"You're honest."
"I didn't know at first, but they found me in the last two years. Speaking of which, I do not wish for this to happen," Erine said while looking unconcerned.
Christopher's gaze fell on her. For a moment, he felt that she was very special. She was so frank that he liked her very much.
How many people in the world were hypocrites? It was rare for someone to be so truthful.
"No wonder the Harrison family said that there was a celebration. It turns out that you've returned to your family," Ysabelle also spoke in a nonchalant tone.
It seemed that she did not care what identity she had.
"A celebration? Miss Meyer, do you think they'll be happy for me? I'm just a disgrace, and I feel sick of it." Erine held the cards in her hands, and hatred was evident on her face.
Vanessa glanced at her and thought that the child was very pitiful.
She was also a responsible person. She would rather live alone than be seen as an illegitimate daughter.
"Child, don't worry. Such a thing will never happen in the Meyer family. It doesn't matter who you are, and as long as you're with Christopher, it's not a problem."
Erine listened, and her eyes were full of disbelief. She thought that the rich families were very particular about statuses.
Why did they not show any trace of it?
That was not how it should be.
"A... Auntie, actually there's no need to..." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"Yes, it's necessary. Our Meyer family is not the kind who cares about the status of the family. As long as you live a good life with Christopher, it's better than anything else," Felicia replied.
Erine looked at Christopher, implying that his family was extraordinary.
He gave her a reassuring look.
The game didn't stop until the latter half of the night.
Erine fell asleep as soon as she laid on the bed. On the other hand, Ysabelle and Vanessa wanted to know about her situation.
"I don't know much about what Erine said. I just feel that she looks like an honest person."
