John and Nina continued to move forward. After glancing around, he said slowly, "Tonight is very different."
He did not expect that in order to welcome Nina, Sam had decorated the whole house in such a festive way. The carpet had been changed into a red one, and even the flowers had been replaced with red roses.
She was about to formally meet John's family, so Nina was a little nervous. Her palms were sweating. "Yes, it's quite different."
She had never felt this nervous, which was weird considering she used to attend all kinds of large-scale banquets in C Island.
It was said that only an ugly woman would get nervous when she went to meet her spouse's family, but she was not ugly.
Why was she so nervous?
Nina's entire body tensed. The only person that could make her feel at ease was John, so she reached out to him.
"Nervous?" John asked, looking at her. He held her hand and squeezed it gently to comfort her. "I'm here."
The warmth from his palm seeped into her skin and sent a wave of calm over her. She took a deep breath and
received two more red envelopes. "Aunt Nina," Chester said, bowing slightly.
Nina looked at the man seated to Jessica's left. The man looked back at her and smiled. "Hello, Nina!"
Noticing that Jason and Nina seemed to know each other, Sam asked, "Jason, do you know Nina?"
"Nina is my student, Dad."
"Well, it seems that Nina is really destined to be a member of our family." Sam laughed even more happily.
Although Nina did not like Jessica, Jessica was still John's sister, so she greeted them politely. "Jessica, Jason."
Jason smiled back and handed her a red envelope. Jessica kept a cold face and did not move.
She still could not admit that Nina was her sister-in-law.
Everyone had noticed Jessica's displeasure, and the atmosphere in the dining hall once again turned cold and heavy.
Sam was not satisfied with his daughter's attitude, but she was his favorite daughter. He simply said to her, "Jessica, aren't you going to greet your sister-in-law?"
Jessica sneered, "No, I'm not. I won't accept her as my sister-in-law."
