But because he had boxed and played golf for years, his palms were covered in calluses. Sometimes, when he touched her, it felt a little rough.

Half an hour later.
They arrived back at Cliffmill Estates.
Charlotte hadn’t even gotten out of the car when her mother’s third call came through.
“Beep, beep.”
Charlotte had no choice but to answer, bracing herself. “Hello, Mom…”
On the other end, her mother’s worried and dissatisfied voice came through. “Lottie, aren’t you coming home today?”
Charlotte glanced shyly at Gregory and stammered, “Um, well, he and I will come see you and Dad first thing tomorrow morning. I won’t be coming home tonight!”
“… You two aren’t married yet, it’s not appropriate for you to live together! Come home right now, a girl should be more reserved.”
Charlotte pouted. “I want to go home too, but he won’t let me.”
Before she could finish, Gregory, half amused and half exasperated,
covered her mouth.

“Mmm…” Charlotte whimpered twice and gave him a hard punch.
“What are you doing?”
Gregory immediately took her phone and said sincerely, “Mrs. Lindsey, Lottie is very safe with me, please don’t worry.”
“It’s too late now, and Lottie is pregnant. It’s inconvenient for her to be running around. Please let her stay with me tonight. Tomorrow morning, Lottie and I will come visit you and Mr. Lindsey.”
Kathy sighed reluctantly. “Oh, I see!”
“So what time will you come tomorrow?”
“Around eleven o’clock tomorrow!”
“…Alright then, I’ll have lunch prepared!”
Gregory replied politely and gentlemanly, “Okay, thank you! Good night, Mrs. Lindsey.”
After hanging up.
Charlotte glared at him. “Why did you
cover my mouth?”
Gregory laughed in exasperation and pinched her cheek. “What do you mean, I wouldn’t let you go home? If your mom heard that, she’d think I was keeping you prisoner!”
“But you really didn’t let me go home.
“But you can’t say that in front of your mom. That would ruin my image.”
“Then what should I say?”

“Silly girl, you really make me laugh.”
With that.
Gregory suddenly bent down and scooped her up in his arms.
Charlotte was startled and quickly begged for mercy. “No, not again! Last night was already… I really can’t take it anymore!”
“Besides, it might hurt the baby!”
“It won’t, I’ll be gentle…”

The next day.
Gregory got up early to wash up.
He shaved, tidied his hair, and then changed into a perfectly tailored British suit. He looked dignified and noble.
He walked out of the dressing room.
Charlotte stared at him. “Wow! So formal!”
“Of course. It’s my first day as the new son–in–law, I have to look formal.”
Charlotte couldn’t help but throw herself into his arms for a hug. “Hehe, I suddenly feel…”
She held back from saying the words ‘so happy.‘
She was afraid that saying it out loud would scare the happiness away.

This feeling of being valued was truly wonderful.
“Let’s go!”
“Mm–hmm.”
“Take it easy, you’re pregnant now. Don’t be so hasty.”

Forty minutes later.
Gregory drove to the Lindsey’s manor.
“Dad, Mom, I’m home.”
Kathy was already waiting at the door, and Gordon happened to be home today as well.
“This girl…”
“1
“Uh… hello.” Gregory gave an awkward laugh, not sure how to address them.
Before, he and Gordon were like brothers, and he called Kathy ‘sister-
in–law.‘
Now…
Suddenly, they were a generation older, and he found it hard to say the words.
“Mr. Lindsey, Mrs. Lindsey, hello.”
Kathy glanced at him and replied politely, “Come in!”

Gregory opened the trunk and called for the servants to bring the things inside.
It took four servants two trips to finally move everything in.
“Just a small token, nothing much.”
Gordon and Kathy stared in shock at the mountain of gifts. “You didn’t have to bring so much!”
“Lottie, you too. Why didn’t you stop him?”
