"I didn't agree, and I won't go to the Lake family."
"But you just accepted his invitation, and how can you go back on your words?"
"But I didn't even talk with him just now."
'Don't you know that silence always represents agreement?"
Irish was speechless while Leo continued, "It is rare for him to tell you his schedule." After finishing his word, he took a sip of the wine. But Irish's thought still stayed a moment ago, and she said slowly after a few minutes, "I want to eat the dessert." Leo smiled and then ordered some desserts for her.
After finishing that, Irish reached out and was about to take his wine but was soon taken back by Leo. "What are you doing?"
"I want some wine while eating desserts."
"But this is mine."
"Okay. Then please also give me a cup of wine." Irish handed an empty cup, but it was still taken back by Leo.
"What's wrong?"
"I will give you a cup of warm water." Leo smiled at her.
"Leo, Joseph will pay for this meal. Don't be so parsimonious." She was confused and frowned at him.
Leo drank the wine slowly and looked at her, remembering the words that Joseph had whispered to him. He said, "Leo, if she is drunk tonight, then you will be dead. Mark my words!" Thinking of this, Leo snorted.

Jay finally agreed to take Lilith back for dinner, and he urged Irish several times that she had to be there in case an emergency happened. Of course, Irish could perceive his seriousness and promised him she would definitely help him.
Her Uncle Steven was required to help to do some housework on that day while Mary went to the supermarket early in the morning and went back with many delicious foods.
When Irish entered the house, she could smell food suffused in the room. Uncle Steven was doing some chores in the kitchen with Mary.
When Mary saw Irish, she hastily got out of the kitchen and began to look at her carefully and then held her tightly, which made Irish couldn't help coughing.
"Why did you not take care of yourself? Do you have a cold? Go and get some pectoral syrup immediately." Obviously, Mary misunderstood her cough. And then she said to Steven, "Steven, hurry to get some pectoral syrup for her."
"No, no, no. I'm fine, and I just choked." Irish explained to her.
But her Uncle Steven rushed out of the kitchen quickly and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I am fine. Don't worry." Irish comforted him.
"I am so worried about you." After speaking this, Mary's eyes turned tearful soon.
Irish was smart and hastily made a promise, "Aunt, I promise you that I won't go out without notification."
After hearing this, Mary was relieved and then smiled at her. Though Steven wanted to chat with Irish, he still had to finish the chores, so he went back to the kitchen again.
The doorbell rang at seven o'clock, when Mary had just finished the last dish and heard the movements, she grabbed Irish's and said anxiously. "They are back."
Steven smiled helplessly at her anxiety and then reminded her, "Don't be so anxious. Go get a new pair of slippers for them."
Then Mary reacted and walked to the door.
The door opened, and Jay walked in when Mary just got the slippers in hand. She looked at Jay cheerfully and then looked at the girl behind him eagerly. Lilith was standing shyly behind Jay. She dressed up carefully tonight, wearing a very elegant milky white dress, draped in a light coat, with silk stocking, and a pair of heels which made her look very elegant and full of energy.
She stood with Jay and greeted Steven and Mary politely with a sweet voice.
When she saw Irish's sight, she lowered her head embarrassedly.
Mary felt she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before, while Steven also couldn't remember. Jay then introduced Lilith to them, "This is my girlfriend, Lilith Lake."
"Lilith Lake?" They didn't become suspicious about her family name but greeted her cheerfully.
Irish looked at them calmly and whispered to Jay when they entered, "It's normal."
"But I am afraid that they will not be so pleasant if they know her family." Jay thought it was natural that they did not recognize Lilith since his parents did not know much about the younger brother of Irish's father. Mary showed great passion for Lilith when they were eating together, and Mary reached over with her chopsticks to refill Lilith's bowl. Though Lilith looked pleasant, she felt there was a time bomb in her heart, so her smile was a little bit unnatural.
She never expected that Jay would bring her back home to meet his parents, and when he told her the news a few days ago, she was so anxious these days and worried that his parents would be opposed to them. Of course, she did not tell Jay about her worries since she thought he also had the same worry as her. But now that he had decided to take her back, he must have a resolution.
Therefore, she picked gifts for his parents this noon, and it cost two of her salary. When she handed the gifts to his parents, they smiled brightly and praised her continuously.
Irish sat beside them and waited to see if changes would occur.
Steven was very pleasant and couldn't help drinking a toast with Jay, while Lilith also substituted tea for wine to propose a toast to his parents. Mary took her hands with a smile and began to chat with her, "Lilith, you look so beautiful, and you are really well matched. Hey, Steven, don't you think Lilith and Irish were a little alike?"
"It indicates that she has predestination with our family. Jay is Irish's considered brother, and this shows that they have husband-wife looks." Steven was so happy and joked with them.
But Lilith took a look at Jay with her worried eyes.
"Lilith, how long have you been with Jay?" Mary asked.
She licked her lips and then replied, "Not for a long time."
Mary puckered her face in a smile and said to her, "You will find that Jay was a good man if you stay longer with him. And I promise he will treat you well in the future."
After hearing this, she blushed soon.
"Aunt, have you heard the old saying that every peddler would praise his own needles? You are the peddler now while Jay is the needle." Irish joked with her.
