Ten minutes later.
Connor and the others came to the restaurant that Shane had booked.
Four middle-aged people stood at the entrance of the restaurant. Two of them were Freya’s parents, while the other two were Qahira’s parents.
The four stood at the entrance of the restaurant, eagerly waiting for Freya, Qahira, and the others to arrive.
When Freya saw the four middle-aged people at the entrance of the restaurant, a hint of nervousness flashed across her eyes. She turned to Connor and said, “Connor, my parents and my uncle and aunt have already arrived. Let’s get off the car!”
“Okay!”
Connor nodded lightly. This was the first time he was meeting Freya’s parents, so he was a little nervous.
But before Connor and Freya could get out of the car, Qahira pulled Shane’s arm and walked toward the four middle-aged people.
“Dad, Mom, Uncle, Auntie!”
Qahira smiled cutely and greeted the four elders.
Freya’s mother, Laura Crawford, turned to look at Shane, who was beside Qahira. She smiled and asked, “Qahira, this must be your boyfriend, right?”
“That’s right, Auntie. This is my boyfriend, Shane!”
Qahira quickly nodded.
“Not bad. He looks dignified and is a good match for Qahira!”
Freya’s father, Sean Phillips, called out with a smile.
Meanwhile, Qahira’s mother, Sandra Phillips, looked at Shane with a smile on her face.
After all, be it his figure, appearance, or clothes, Shane looked very good.
On the other hand, Qahira’s family background was not very good. Although her mother was a member of the Phillips Family, her father was an office worker.
Therefore, Sandra felt that it was very good for Qahira to find such an outstanding boyfriend.
Shane politely greeted Qahira’s parents and Freya’s parents. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
“Sandra, Qahira is really amazing. She actually found such an outstanding boyfriend.”
Freya’s mother, Laura, said to Sandra with a smile.
“Laura, what are you talking about? Qahira isn’t as good as Freya! Your son-in-law is definitely better than mine!” Sandra replied.
When Sean and Laura heard this, they sighed almost at the same time.
After all, Sean had arranged such a marriage for Freya in order to prevent his company from going bankrupt.
Initially, Sean thought that he had found a good family for Freya. However, he later found out that his future son-in-law was actually a poor student who delivered food. He did not have any family background at all!
After Sean found out about Connor’s background, it immediately crushed his fantasy of having a good son-in-law. When Freya’s company was in trouble, Sean had originally planned to cancel the marriage and matchmake Freya and Cody Shenaur.
If that was the case, not only would he be proud, but Freya would also not have to suffer with Connor anymore.
However, for some reason, Freya refused to agree to this matter no matter what. Cody then no longer had any thoughts about Freya.
Sean had always been very puzzled by this matter.
Therefore, the two of them inevitably felt a little guilty after hearing Sandra’s words.
“If my son-in-law can be one-tenth as good as Shane, 1’11 be satisfied!”
Laura sighed helplessly.
“Laura, look at what you’re saying. You’re really too humble! I heard that your son-in-law is very powerful. He even knows the CEO of the Empire World Corporation!”
Sandra hurriedly replied, then turned to Qahira and asked, “Qahira, didn’t you say that Freya’s fiance would be coming today? Where are they now?”
“Mom!”
Sandra had just finished speaking when Freya’s voice suddenly rang out.
When everyone heard Freya’s voice, they all turned to look.
Connor and Freya slowly walked over.
When Sandra saw Freya, she hurriedly walked over to her and said in an intimate manner, “Freya, you’re finally here. I haven’t seen you in years!”
“Hello, Aunt and Uncle!”
Freya didn’t have a good impression of Sandra’s family, but she still greeted them out of politeness.
“My eldest niece is really getting more and more beautiful now…”
Sandra smiled faintly, then looked at Freya and asked, “Freya, I heard that your fiance is here today. Where is he? Hurry up and ask him to say hello!”
Freya was stunned when she heard this. Then, she looked at Connor awkwardly and said, “Auntie, this is my fiance, Connor McDonald!”
Sandra turned her head to look at Connor, and she suddenly had a look of incredulity on her face.
In fact, Sandra had also noticed Connor just now, but she saw that Connor looked like a loser, so she thought that Connor was Freya’s driver.
However, she had never expected that Freya’s fiance would be this guy who looked like a loser.
Sean and Laura looked awkward.
In their opinion, Connor didn’t look that shabby now. Although the clothes he was wearing were very ordinary, the young man was still quite energetic and not as wretched as other men who were losers.
As for his family background, the two of them were already mentally prepared.
However, Shane was still present. The difference between the two was obvious.
“Freya, your fiance is quite energetic!”
Sandra looked at Freya and said with a fake smile. Then, she instantly lost interest in talking and turned around to leave. From the beginning to the end, she did not say a word to Connor.
Initially, she had wanted to compare Freya’s fiance to her daughter’s fiance. However, it seemed that there was no need for that.
After Sandra left, Freya brought Connor to her parents and gave them a brief introduction.
“Hello, Uncle and Auntie!”
Connor quickly greeted Sean and Laura.
Sean snorted coldly.
Laura didn’t say a word. She turned her head and said to Sandra, “Sandra, where is our room? Let’s go in and eat!”
At this moment, Sean and Laura were both thinking that they had let their daughter down. They had actually married her off to a person like Connor. It was really too unfair to Freya.
“The private room is upstairs. This time, Shane specially booked a big private room for us. Let’s go in!”
Sandra hurriedly replied and enthusiastically dragged Shane into the restaurant.
“Freya, let’s go!”
Laura also dragged Freya in.
In the blink of an eye, everyone had walked into the restaurant.
Only Connor was left standing alone at the door. An unprecedented sense of humiliation suddenly emerged in his heart.
Connor could clearly feel the attitude of Sean and Laura toward him, but he felt that it was normal.
After all, those who didn’t know Connor’s identity would feel that he wasn’t worthy of Freya.
At first, Connor also figured that such a thing would happen, but when it really happened, Connor felt that he still couldn’t accept it.
“I don’t know when it started, but it seems that the society only values money. Without money, you don’t even deserve a wife!”
Connor sighed helplessly and walked into the restaurant..
