Chapter 142 Meeting the Parents

They lingered in this dessert shop for a long time, but when they finally picked the desserts they wanted, they were very happy! Loi whispered, "Let's make plans to meet again later. I'll head home for now, and you all be safe on your way." "You too." After saying their goodbyes, they returned home. The children were playing in the living room, and when they saw Charlotte carrying desserts, they ran straight towards her. Charlotte looked at Sofia helplessly and said, "See? I told you..." From the oldest to the youngest, they all loved desserts. Whenever desserts were brought home, they wouldn't last until the next day's sunrise. But the children were still growing, and Charlotte didn't want them to eat so many desserts because it was bad for their teeth. But no matter what she said, they wouldn't listen, although Loi didn't think it was a big deal. Liking sweets was in the children's nature, as long as they brushed their teeth well after eating, there wouldn't be any major problems. Back when she was alone with the two children, she didn't feel as exhausted as she did now because back then, the children only listened to themselves since they had Loi as their support. When Andy came running over, he also shouted back into the house, "Dad! Mom brought desserts, come out quickly!" As soon as Kelos heard that there were tasty treats, he immediately rushed out of the room. His speed was no less than the two children from earlier. Sofia looked at them helplessly, "Compared to these two, you guys are like children." Speaking of children, Kelos glanced back into the house before saying, "I've already told our parents about us. They've come along today too. Let's have a proper meal together in a few days." Sofia knew he would tell his family, but she didn't expect Kelos to act so quickly. She wasn't prepared at all, and she didn't know how to approach her mother yet. Thinking that their future in-laws were also here, she felt a little nervous. Charlotte reached out to comfort her by patting her shoulder, "Just relax a bit. Haven't you met them once before? Treat this as a small family gathering. Sit down and talk about this matter properly. And they quite like you, so you don't have to worry about that." Sofia pursed her lips and finally nodded. Since they were already here, she couldn't escape at the last minute. "Let's go in first, we'll eat these later." They, as the younger generation, couldn't keep the adults waiting, and it seemed like they had been here for a while already. While they were going inside, Charlotte hurriedly pulled Kelos aside again. Kelos looked at her with some confusion, "What's wrong?" "Why didn't you tell me earlier that we had guests? Now, it's too late to prepare dinner." Kelos smiled and reassured her, "I've already arranged everything. It will be delivered soon." Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. With this, they didn't have to worry about not having enough time to prepare. Kelos could handle everything like this, anticipating all situations. Then, Charlotte went inside with them. She saw them all sitting together chatting happily and knew that this matter wouldn't take long. Lilia ran over to ask her, "Mom, why are Auntie and Uncle so happy today? There are so many people at our house today, it's so lively." Charlotte smiled gently, "It's because Auntie is going to have a baby. Soon, you'll have a little brother or sister to play with. Aren't you happy?" Lilia immediately danced with joy, unable to contain her happiness. She couldn't help but ask, "So, we don't know the baby's gender yet?" Charlotte crouched down and patted the child's head, "That's right, it will take some time to find out. That's how it was when you were born too." "I see." Lilia tilted her little head, thinking for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on. Even though Ban was sitting nearby the whole time, his face was also beaming with a smile. They sat together chatting as a family. Kelos and Charlotte didn't want to interrupt. Thinking that not long ago, she was a woman who claimed she wouldn't get married, now she was expecting a child. "I can see you're quite happy tonight." She nodded in agreement. "Of course, seeing my good friends about to get married makes me very happy. Aren't you the same? Kelos is also getting married." Kelos smiled faintly, feeling genuinely happy. "It's a pity." "What's a pity about them getting married?" Kelos pretended to be worried, "I can't be his best man. Married people can't do that, and you, don't you feel it's a pity?" Thinking about it, Charlotte nodded, "You're right, it does feel a bit of a shame." But if they could be together and live happily ever after, then there was nothing to regret. In fact, Charlotte was looking forward to seeing Sofia as a mother. Thinking of this scene, Charlotte couldn't help but smile softly. She showed a very pleased smile to Kelos, "It's really nice..." Kelos nodded, "Yes, it is." They had dinner together and exchanged a few words before Kelos's parents left. Before leaving, Kelos's mother gave Sofia a bank card. Sofia's face lit up like a flower. After seeing them off, it was getting late, so they all went to rest. Charlotte had been procrastinating on the jewelry that Sanira had ordered, so she decided to work on it a bit today. As she started, she noticed someone peeking in at the door, refusing to come in. So she stood up and walked to the door, startling Loi. Charlotte understood why he was here at this time, looking at him with a complex gaze, "What brings you here?" Loi raised an eyebrow, "I came to talk to you about cooperation." Charlotte's tone was flat, "Isn't your family in real estate? What cooperation could we have?" Loi flashed a somewhat guilty smile, "Well, there's really nothing to discuss then." Charlotte thought he had come for a chat, but she really didn't have time for it today, "I'm busy today. If there's nothing urgent, you can go back first. I'll find you later if I want to hang out."
