âTina, Iâm not some upright gentleman, so donât trust me too much!â Chandler said. âAfter dinner, Iâll take you home.â
âButâ¦â
âIâll take you home. Weâre not married yet, so itâs better to keep a certain distance on some things!â he said.
His tone was like drawing a line between them.
And he wouldnât allow her to easily cross that line!
In the following days, Tina noticed that Chandler was noticeably distancing himself from her.
Although their interactions were still similar to before, sometimes he would deliberately avoid her gaze, and when she wanted to hug or kiss him, he would find excuses to avoid it!
Whatâs going on?!
Does he not have any interest in her anymore? Does he not like her?
Tina was full of questions, but when she asked Chandler directly, he just said calmly, âYouâre overthinking it.â
Is she really overthinking?
As time passed by, Chandlerâs return to Hunter was approaching.
Hunterâs family, for Tina, was like a mysterious entity.
Just when Tina was worried about Chandler suddenly distancing himself from her, she met Weldon again.
Coincidentally, Weldon was filming at Tinaâs school that day, and they naturally started chatting after meeting.
Suddenly, Tina thought of Weldonâs connection to the Hunter family, and curiously asked, âHave you been to Hunterâs family estate?â
âEstate?â Weldon glanced at Tina, âWhy are you suddenly asking this? Havenât you been there?â
âWell, not yet,â Tina admitted.
Weldon suddenly laughed, âHahaâ¦haha, you, as Chandlerâs fiancée, havenât been to the estate yet, hahaâ¦â
Tina looked at Weldon, who was laughing exaggeratedly, come on, she hasnât been there, is it necessary to laugh like this?
âIs it that funny?â she asked unkindly.
âNot really funny, but itâs in line with Hunterâs usual style,â Weldon said.
âUsual style?â
âConservative andâ¦cowardly!â Weldon evaluated.
Tina frowned. She had heard the conservative evaluation before, but cowardlyâ¦it just doesnât make sense to describe Hunter with that word.
Weldon seemed to have read her mind and said, âFamilies like the Hunters are actually quite cowardly, especially Chandler.â
âChandler is not a coward!â Tina retorted.
âIf heâs not worried, then why hasnât he taken you to the familyâs place yet?â Weldon asked. âHave you ever thought about why he wonât take you there?â
Tina fell silent. Of course, she had thought about it, but she couldnât come up with an answer. In the end, she could only blame it on Hunterâs traditions.
âIf you really want to understand Chandler, then go to the familyâs place. Maybe everything will become clear,â Weldon said.
This statement was like the temptation of a devil, and Tinaâs heart skipped a beat.
Could she really understand Chandler?
Chandler had said before that what she saw of him was not the real him, and maybe her thoughts would be different once she understood the real him.
But what was the real Chandler like?
Would she be different after going to the familyâs place?
