Chapter 611
Kim sized Allison up and was very satisfied with her.
Compared to Elodia's submissive and unpresentable appearance, Allison was more likable as a daughter from a rich family.
Kim, also known as Mrs. Langley to the Langley family, immediately smiled and said, "Yes, this is Allie. Allie, quickly greet her.' She turned to Allison and said.
Allison immediately smiled and said obediently, Hello, Mrs. Langley. I'm Allie.1'
Kim was even more satisfied seeing how polite and sensible she was. Only this kind of girl was worthy of marrying her son.
Kim nodded repeatedly and said, "Good child, be good. Don't be so distant, and just call me Auntie."
Allison immediately called her auntie.
Kim led the group of people inside.
At this moment, Draxton had already led his group into the house.
The Lockwood family home's living room was huge.
When Kim and the others entered, Allison's heart skipped a beat.
She thought her family was already wealthy with a grand and luxurious house.
But now, she felt the Lockwood family wasn't just grand or luxurious. She could not even find words to describe them. It made one feel in awe and reverence. She immediately became cautious.
Her eyes darted around. No wonder her parents told her to seize this opportunity to marry Gary. It turned out that the difference between their level of wealth and the real aristocratic families was not little. Thinking of this, the smile on Allison's face became even sweeter.
Kim pulled Allison to have a sit. Only then did Allison realize that they were the only ones on such a huge sofa. Where did Mr. Lockwood bring the other guests? She looked around and realized that Draxton and the others had already gone upstairs.
They were sitting in an open room on the second floor. There was an antique curtain hanging in the room. They could vaguely see Draxton talking to those people.
Mr. Lockwood was really good to the two relatives of the Lockwood family. He actually brought them to the second floor to greet them personally.
It seemed that the bigger the family, the more amiable they were.
Allison suddenly felt relaxed. Perhaps she could be bolder.
"Allie, don't be reserved. Whatever you want to drink, just ask the servant robot."
Allison nodded with a smile.
Kim looked at Allison fondly, thinking that this girl was well-educated, gentle, and sensible. Her children would definitely be well-mannered when she gave birth in the future.
Kim could not help but think of Kieran. Naturally, after the divorce between Gary and Elodia, the child looked at her differently from before.
In short, he was not as close to her as before.
Kim said to a passing servant, 'Where's Gary? Go and call him over. Tell him that there are guests here.'
Kim was a little unhappy. She had actually told Gary that there would be guests coming over in a while and asked him to come out and meet them. But now, he did not even show his face. He really did not take his mother's words seriously.
The servant went to call Gary.
Gary was in his room. When he heard the servant's words, he only said indifferently, "I understand. You don't have to care."
The servant left.
However, Gary had no intention of going out to meet the guests.
Kim chatted with her brother, sister-in-law, and Allison. After a while, Gary still did not appear.
Kim's expression did not look as good.
Mrs. Langley said, Gary might have something on right now. There's no hurry.'
Kim forced a smile and nodded. Anger had already risen in her heart, but she still maintained her dignity and said, He has indeed been a little busy recently, but no matter how busy he is, he still has to greet the guests, doesn't he? This child is outrageous.'
Kim's brother, Mr. Langley, spoke, "Sister, where's brother-in-law?"
Logically speaking, when his wife's brother and sister-in-law came to visit, this brother-in-law of his should at least show up, right?
He wasn't like this in the past.
Kim immediately felt even more awkward.
She stopped the servant again and asked her to invite Colin over.
After a while, the servant returned with an awkward expression. She glanced at Kim and said, "Madam, Sir said he's not free.' Not only did Kim's expression turn ugly, but both Mr. and Mrs. Langley's expressions also changed slightly.
Allison's gears started turning. She had doubts about Kim's position in the Lockwood family.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Perhaps Kim was not at all glamorous in the Lockwood family.
She pursed her lips internally, and the sweet smile on her lips could not help but fade.
"Kim, did you fight with my brother-in-law?" Mr. Langley could not help but ask.
Kim replied, "We didn't fight. We never fight with each other."
Mr. Langley heaved a sigh of relief.
Kim felt a little suffocated.
Actually, there were things that she had not told her family. Ever since the incident with Elodia, Sir Damon and Colin's attitude towards her was not as friendly as before.
Sir Damon distanced himself from her, while Colin had never even slept in the same room with her.
Even her son was no longer close to her.
Kim was also panicking in her heart. She hated Elodia for being a troublemaker, and at the same time, she was on tenterhooks. So she thought of a solution.
That was to find a partner for Gary and start a family.
She believed they must have treated her like that because of Elodia's divorce. If she found a gentle and virtuous wife for Gary, this family might change their current state.
Kim stood up and said, "Brother, Sister-in-law, Allie, take a seat first. I'll call Gary over. No matter how busy this child is, he can't be rude."
Kim personally went to look for Gary.
She did not dare to look for Colin. She did not dare to provoke Colin as she was afraid to see his expression when he looked at her. It had the kind of reticent that she could not understand. Kim pushed open Gary's door and walked in.
Gary stood at the desk by the window, writing.
When he heard the door open, he frowned and looked over. When he saw that it was Kim, he immediately felt frustrated and said, "Mom, why didn't you knock when you came in?"
Kim felt a lump in her throat and felt a little sad. 'I'm your mother. What's wrong with me entering your room without knocking?"
Gary's eyes darkened. "Mom, I'm not three or two years old. I'm already a father."
"So what? No matter how old you are, you're still my son. That's not what I'm here for. Hurry up and come downstairs with me to meet people." Kim ordered.
Her attitude was unquestionable.
Gary lowered his head and looked at the writing that was ruined. He silently put down his pen, turned around, and lay on the bed. He replied, "Mom, you can carry me down to meet them, or you can even directly toss me into some woman's bed. It's impossible for me to start a new family again in this life."
"Did Elodia brainwash you?" Kim was so angry that her entire body was trembling.
Gary closed his eyes tiredly and said, "It has nothing to do with Elodia. I'm just... tired."
Kim ignored Gary's feelings. She still wanted to maintain her dignity in front of her maternal family and did not want to embarrass herself in front of her future daughter-in-law.
She said sternly, Allie is such a good girl. Gary Lockwood, if you still acknowledge me as your mother, you'll have to follow me down to meet them today."
