The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 269

Chris sat beside Jane uncomfortably. Meanwhile, Jamie walked towards Sam and asked in a serious tone, "Are you serious this time?"

"Yes, I most definitely am." Sam nodded. "Or else I would not have brought her home to meet you both."

"If you are serious about this relationship, treat her well. Chris seems like a very good girl." Jamie patted Sam on his shoulder, then added, "Remember to visit her family and talk about engagement. It's about time you decide now."

"I know." Sam nodded in sync with his thoughts.

With a strong feeling that Chris was the right one for her son, Jane became more and more happy about Chris, who sat across her. Though Chris was feeling uncomfortable about her fixed gaze. Finally she asked Jane, "What is it that you wanted to discuss?"

Upon hearing her question, Jane came back to earth and with an embarrassed look asked Chris, "Does Sam treat you well when you are with him?"

"Yes, he treats me quite well actually." Chris suddenly blushed pink, as she stole a glimpse of Sam, who was sitting beside her, and smiled. "He is good to me. He is even willing to buy me everything I want no matter how unreasonable I may be."

"My son actually has a low EQ." Jane signed. "Earlier I thought he was a gay. So now you can understand my extreme happiness to see him bring you home."

Jane composed her thoughts for a second and then went on, "You should know that when you were abroad, I liked you so much. I really think Sam and you make a perfect match. As you two are around the age to get married, when do you think is the proper time to hold the wedding?"

Chris was baffled when she heard Jane said that. Although she wanted to be with Sam, they had not discussed marriage just as yet. After all, they had just gotten together. How could she think in this direction so soon?

"Aunt, I..." Chris silently deliberated as she didn't know how to respond to this question.

However, Jane didn't pay heed to her reaction. She smiled and said to them, "I guess you haven't discussed about this, have you now?"

"Yes..." Chris said hesitantly. "Now we've just gotten together, we haven't thought so far into our future."

"You must consider this now." Jane said to her, "The point of being in a relationship is ultimately to get married for companionship. It will not make any difference if you two get married sooner or later. When your uncle and I were your age, we had already given birth to Sam."

Chris lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

"Chris, I'm not pressuring you into getting married." Jane signed, then added, "You should know that Sam hasn't decided to settle down in any particular place. As you two now are in a relationship and he's brought you home to see us, I think it's good to decide on marriage soon. This is also a responsibility. What do you think?"

"Emmm..." Chris showed an expression of hesitation, sensing that Jane asked her, "Huh? Do you not want to marry him?"

"No, that's not true..." Chris hurriedly waved her hand. Seeing Jane's smile, she thought she was being duped by her. But then, in order to comfort Jane, she said in a unconvinced tone, "I'll follow your arrangement, aunt...."

"Now that's a good girl." Jane was content with the answer. All she wanted was to stop Autumn from thinking of her son. In her eyes, Autumn was a shameless woman who would still hook up with her son even after getting married.
