Chapter 1053: Chapter 1065 Meet Parents

The enthusiasm of the elders made Lena unable to refuse, and Lauren put the card into her hand, saying, “Just accept it. This is just a meeting gift. Don’t be shy.”

Speaking that, Lauren glared at Gideon secretly.

Gideon could only persuade Lena. “Anyway, we are already a legal couple. It is natural for you to accept their gifts.”

“What are you talking about?”

As soon as Gideon finished speaking, Mervyn stood up with a thud. He pulled out a cane from somewhere and pointed at Gideon, angrily rebuking him. “Do you dare to say it again?”

Owen and Lauren also showed disapproving expressions on their faces.

In their view, getting pregnant before marriage was already very unfair to Lena. How could they get the marriage license without telling the family?

Lena didn’t expect their reaction to be so strong. She looked at Gideon and wanted to explain something, but Gideon stopped her and took the initiative to tell them that they had already got the marriage license.

“How could you do that?”

Mervyn waved his cane, almost hitting Gideon several times. However, Gideon didn’t even dare to dodge.

“Follow me to the study!”

Originally, Mervyn planned to curse loudly, but he looked at Lena and forcefully held back his full anger.

He smiled at Lena and said, “You sit down and rest first. I’ll take this bastard to the study to have a talk.”

The word “bastard” showed how angry Mervyn was.

Lena glanced at Gideon, who immediately gave her a reassuring look, and then Lena relaxed.

Mervyn left with Gideon. Then, Lauren and Owen smiled warmly.

Seeing Lena feeling a bit awkward facing them alone, Lauren sat next to Lena and held her hand, saying, “Good girl. We’ve really wronged you. I heard you’re almost three months pregnant?” Lena nodded and said, “We never knew it before…” Lauren smiled gently, “Sometimes, when you are busy, you may not pay as much attention to this matter. It was the same when I was pregnant with Gideon back then…” In her gentle voice, Lena also relaxed.

Faced with Lauren’s cautious probing, Lena did not conceal anything and told Lauren her entire background.

Lena originally thought that Lauren should be somewhat dissatisfied with her, an orphan with no father or mother and a complex background. But after Lena finished talking about her background, Lauren remained silent for a moment, and then she hugged Lena with guilt, saying, “These years, you have been very difficult, right? Don’t worry. We will be your support in the future.”

Lena smelled Lauren’s faint fragrance, feeling happy and moved.

Lena said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

It was not an exaggeration that the kindness Lena received at the McKinney Villa was more than that she received from Blake and Clare from childhood to adulthood.

“Good girl.” Lauren held Lena’s hand. “I think that Gideon really needs to be educated well. How can he make you suffer from these grievances?”

Lena looked away with guilt and shook her head repeatedly. “Actually, this matter is more of my responsibility. I don’t want to…”

Lauren shook her head firmly and stared at Lena, saying, “Of course, it’s not your fault.”
