183 Ch. 183 The Heinest Family
At last, Anxia could sigh relief after being cooped up in the house for the whole week. The anniversary event would be held tomorrow evening, but the Calvins had departed today and would stay at Leonardâs residence for three days and two nights.
Although Anxia was excited to go out and travel somewhere new, that didnât mean Anxia was excited to meet her mother-in-lawâs family. She wished she hadnât run into Quinn.
The journey taken by their private plane was just over an hour, and they arrived at the international airport of Birmingham, England. Leonard had provided a limousine to pick up his younger sisterâs family and provided the best service for the Calvins.
During the trip, all members of Meisyaâs family, except Stanley and Richard, chatted casually and cheerfully. Stanley didnât sound and only smiled in response to his wife, while Richard stared blankly at the street.
Soon after, their limousine pulled up to the luxury houseâs main door, and Leonard and his wife greeted them.
âMeisya,â Leonard greeted with a bright smile and immediately hugged his younger sister.
âLeon,â Meisya greeted back while returning her brotherâs hug; then she hugged Madeline, who looked awkward and didnât like her but accepted her hug.
How could Madeline be relaxed and friendly? For as long as she could remember, her daughterâQuinn wanted to marry one of Meisyaâs twins, but the two twins married another girl.
Madeline didnât feel shy or reluctant after giving Meisya a warm hug and glanced at the two Eastern girls from head to toe. Both of them couldnât outmatch Quinnâs beauty, but how could the two twins prefer them?
.....
âMaddie.â
Madeline immediately put on a friendly smile when she received a firm reprimand from her husband.
âWelcome to our place, Meisya. You donât know how much I miss you so much. Quinn misses you a lot too.â
Hearing Quinnâs name made Anxia clench her fists. She wished that two-faced lady wasnât in this place. She knew her hopes were impossible, considering the girl was still unmarried and living with her parents.
âOh, I miss her too. Is she here?â
âYes, sheâs insideâshe is preparing lunch for all of us. I hope you guys are hungry.â
âVery.â came the voice of enthusiastic tone from Meisya before she glanced at her two daughters-in-law. âYou must try Quinnâs cookingâher cooking is better than our head chef.â
Michele smiled in response to her mother-in-lawâs enthusiasm while Anxia frowned in disapproval. Will they be safe if they eat Quinnâs cooking? Wouldnât it be poisoned?
Anxia glanced at her husband with a confused look as if asking him through her eyes. Although Anxia didnât voice her worries out loud, Richard could understand what his wife was thinking. He took her hand gently as if reassuring her that he wouldnât allow Quinn to hurt their daughter a second time.
After all, they were all in Leonardâs placeâQuinn feared her father the most, and Richard was sure the lady would not dare to do anything in front of her father.
âHey, Richie. Why didnât you tell me you were married and had a child?â expressed Leon without paying attention to Stanley, who was not friendly to him. âAt that time, I regretted not being able to come to Reiâs wedding. At least if you get married, I will try to come.â
Richard smiled respectfully as he answered the kind man. âIâm sorry, Uncle. But our wedding was sudden, and also⦠we havenât had the party yet.â
âAh, I see. Arenât you going to introduce us?â Richard immediately introduced Anxia and Lori to Leonard, followed by Raymond, who presented his wife and son to Leonard.
After introducing themselves, Madeline ushered them in and heard the sound of a car engine speeding up from the front gate.
Automatically, all eyes turned toward the source of the carâs sound, and suddenly Richard and Raymondâs eyes shone, which amazed Anxia and Michele.
Not long after, a yellow luxury sports car stopped just behind the black limousine. After the car engine was turned off, the car door opened, and a young man appeared getting out of the car.
The young man had honey-brown hair and was neatly styled like a magazine model. He was wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and some of the top buttons left open, showing his tantalizing chest muscles.
Anxia and Michele widened their eyes in shock when they saw the young man walking toward their group with a big smile.
This man⦠Anxia and Michele couldnât help but have to admit⦠this man had such indescribable good looksâeven more handsome than their husbands. This manâs handsomeness felt unreal, making any girl willing to submit to this gentleman.
Quinnâs beauty was also on another level, making Anxia feel enchanted for the first time. If Anxia had been born as a man, there was no doubt that Anxia would have fallen in love with Quinn at first sight.
Luckily, Anxia was a girlâand she didnât need to have a broken heart for that rotten-hearted lady.
âAndrew!â exclaimed Richard and Raymond together.
âHey, duo twins!â
The three hugged while patting each other firmly on the back as if they were close friends that had not met for a long time.
âYou guys look different now, and you smell different, too.â joked Andrew with a humorous tone.
âWe smell?â
âHa ha ha ha. Right. You guys smell like married people and also⦠like dad.â Leonard shook his head at his eldest sonâs joke. âIâm just kidding.â continued Andrew while laughing, accompanied by the twinsâ laughter.
âAndrew!!â Harmonie jumped high and landed straight into Andrewâs arms, who immediately turned his body around, causing a joyful laugh from the girl.
âHey, youâre gaining weight again, huh?â
âHmph! Who said that? Youâre the thinner one.â
Leonard laughed at his eldest sonâs intimacy with Stanleyâs youngest daughter, while the girlâs father looked displeased at their overly close relationship.
âMoni. Youâre not a kid anymore. Behave yourself.â Stanleyâs remark made Harmonie pout and heave a resigned sigh.
âItâs okay, Uncle. She is a sister to me, after all,â expressed Andrew while ruffling Harmonieâs hair playfully.
And oddly enough, only Anxia noticed the subtle tinge of red as Harmonie looked down shyly as Andrewâs big hand touched her head.
