Chapter 2218 - 2226: Sold Him
"Do you like outdoor weddings?" James Black raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then back when we got married, why didn’t you say so? If you like outdoor weddings, we could have had one outdoors."
"Well, I also really like purely Chinese ones, quite like purely Western ones too, and come to think of it, I also like a mix of Chinese and Western. Destination weddings aren’t bad either. Of course, when it comes to outdoors, that’s also lovely." Jane Sampson laughed a little mischievously, "You’ll have to marry me several times to satisfy all my preferences."
"Forget I asked," James Black held onto the little hand in his, regretting asking those questions just now.
The two entered the mansion and while they were waiting at the reception area for the mansion’s shuttle bus, they happened to run into Thomas Lancaster and Yvette Quick.
Standing with them were both their parents.
They were all old acquaintances, and Father Lancaster spotted Jane Sampson and James Black from afar.
As he walked closer, Father Lancaster asked Thomas Lancaster with a curious look, "You and Yvette also invited James Black and Jane Sampson? Why didn’t you say so?"
"Who invited him, this blockhead?" Thomas Lancaster shook his head, "In matters like this, he wouldn’t be able to give even half a useful suggestion. Why would I invite him?"
These were some real heartfelt words.
Seeing Jane Sampson give him a glare, Thomas Lancaster continued, "Glaring at me won’t help, glaring at me won’t change the fact that James Black is a straight man with no sense of romance or aesthetics."
Jane Sampson continued to glare.
"And you’re romantic? You gave Yvette a bouquet of bright chrysanthemums for Valentine’s Day!" Jane Sampson finished saying, and then found it genuinely amusing as she stood there giggling, not saving any face for Thomas Lancaster.
"She just posted a moment not long ago, suddenly saying she really liked chrysanthemums, that they’re a rare and genuine kind of flower. So I thought she had recently started liking chrysanthemums?" Thomas Lancaster explained.
"I didn’t tell you that I like chrysanthemums, abandoning the white roses, pink roses, red roses, yellow roses, and all kinds of roses that I like. That day, in my moment, I also posted a picture with a pot of chrysanthemum tea. Why didn’t you remember." Yvette Quick sided with Jane Sampson, "Don’t talk about James Black, you and he are two sides of the same coin."
Thomas Lancaster, realizing he was in the wrong, touched the tip of his nose and remained silent.
Mother Quick, seeing the young people finished bantering, asked Jane Sampson, "Why are you two here at this moment? I saw you earlier and thought Thomas and Yvette invited you here."
"Jane invited a friend here to fish. We’re just here to have some fun. We saw Thomas’s car in the parking lot and thought it was quite the coincidence. Didn’t expect to run into you as soon as we came in." James Black explained and then asked, "Is the wedding date set?"
"I just strolled around the area earlier, quite like this place, so we decided to have it here." Yvette Quick said, "But the wedding date isn’t set yet."
Hearing this, Thomas Lancaster quickly followed up, "Don’t worry, once it’s set, you and Jane won’t escape receiving a wedding invitation. When you got married, Yvette and I both gave big red envelopes. When we get married, if you two don’t give a big one, Yvette and I will badmouth you in front of your wife every day."
"Quite right, no shortchanging on the red envelopes," Yvette seriously nodded.
Which had the seniors nearby bursting into laughter.
"No problem, no problem." Jane Sampson replied with a smile.
"We don’t accept IOUs," Yvette added, "I know you’re broke lately. If you’re really that poor, you might as well sell James Black."
"He’s worthless." Jane Sampson pondered with a troubled look, "Maybe we should sell Peter Gingery instead?"
