The Beringer Family''s  Pet —  We returned to the Beringer family’s  residence, and this time was truly a family dinner.


    I wasn''t as nervous this time. Key figures like Archie were genuinely kind and amiable, while Grandma Rose had already instructed her own cooks, bustling about with the preparations.


    Upon seeing me and As enter, she happily pulled me over. "Why are you here sote?"  "Grandma, sorry for keeping you waiting. A good friend of mine suddenly had an issue, and I helped her, which made me a bitte." She pulled me to sit in the living room,


    appraising me as if she hadn''t quite remembered my appeararice from that day. "You''re truly a kind girl.” —— Then she sent a servant upstairs to call for someone, while As and Archie were chatting on the side.


    Before long, footsteps came from the staircase. I looked up and saw two imposing, handsome mening down from upstairs. However, the two of them had entirely different demeanors.


    One was schrly and reserved, while the other was energetic and fashionable.


    Archie and As heard the sound and also walked over.


    After the two came down, the younger one ran straight to my side, his


    handsome face almost pressed against  mine. "Is she really your  granddaughter? She’s obviously.


    younger than I am, how can you say she’s my older sister?” &?  Before he could continue, As pulled him away. "Go to the side and keep your distance."  "As, you''ve gone too far! Grandma called us back to meet my father''s daughter. That means she’s my younger sister, so what say do you have in this? Your attitude toward me is uneptable, and I''ll be the first to oppose your marriage with her." Then he leaned close to me again.


    "Grandma, no wonder you like her.


    She''s really pretty." The other,posed, stood to the side, looking at me politely. The group


    gazed at me as if I were some sort of prized pet.


    At this moment, Grandma Rose, contrary to her initial seriousness, beamed with delight. "Right. She''s beautiful. She''s the one I like the most." "Ardie, you''re one year older than her, so she’s your younger sister. You can call her Chlo.” Ilooked at Ardie, who was smiling kindly at me. I got up with a blush on my face. "Hey Ardie." "Hey Chlo." Ardie wasposed, despite only being a year older, he seemed quite mature.


    "Arnold, she''s three years older than you. Of course, she''s your older sister. I don’t want to hear any nonsense from


    you!" Grandma Rose gave Arnold a p, and he shrunk his neck. "Three years older?" @&? = Then he looked at me. "Why were you in such a hurry? Couldn''t you wait for me toe to this world first? Will you take care of me in the future?" His words made the whole familyugh.


    "Twill." I said confidently.


    As immediately became unhappy.


    "Why take care of him? He''s tough, so you don''t need to do that." "As, just go away. You shouldn''t havee today. This is the Beringer family’s gathering. What business do you have here?" "She''s my wife!" As blurted


    anxiously.


    I instantly turned red. This was too straightforward. Why did he have to say I was his wife? It was like he was insinuating that we were already together.


    I quickly took out the gifts I bought, trying to conceal my embarrassment. I had bought clothes for everyone.


    Grandma Rose''s gift was a fashionably modified dress with hand- embroidered details. I had to thank As for this; he found a skilled folk artisan, but I personally selected the wine-red dress adorned with magnolia embroidery, which looked elegant and dignified. I also paired it with a shawl of the same color, exuding a sense of luxury.


    For Archie, I bought a set of business


    casual clothes for his everyday wear, along with two sets of high-end, ultra- thin, body-warming undergarments.


    He often stayed in Sris, and the temperature was about to drop there. I was worried he might catch a cold, so I got him two sets. @& Choosing gifts for Ardie and Arnold was tricky. As helped me brainstorm for a long time before we each found something suitable for them.


    Unexpectedly, they both loved their gifts immensely.


    Especially Archie, who held a bunch of clothes and kept sighing, "Having a daughter is truly different. I haven''t experienced this treatment in a long time. The clothes my secretary buys can''t match the thoughtfulness of my daughter."


    Grandma Rose couldn''t get enough of her dress either. "If we''re talking about my dresses, I''ve umted quite a collection, but none have been as thoughtful as this one. The craftsmanship is just too exquisite." "Grandma, I''m d you like it. I...


    didn''t get anything too expensive, just everyday use items. Dad, I also often go to Sris. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I''ll get it for you. Health is the most important thing, after all.” "You often go to Sris?" "Yes. I also have my ownpany there. If there''s a need, I''ll head over.

    It''s very convenient. I might have to go there again soon," I added casually.
