Me After Meeting You

Amber’s mother was so mad that her imagination was running rampant, causing her to even start cursing! And the more she thought about it, the more sense her theory made to her, and she even started running around the entire apartment, trying to unearth evidence that Amber had gotten secretly married without telling her family.

Amber’s mother had never forcefully searched through Amber’s belongings in this fashion before. Amber had always been an obedient child, a diligent student, and a responsible adult. It was only in the last two years that Amber’s parents had started worrying about her relationships.

Before that, they had never really interfered with her life. As a result, when they did get serious, Amber couldn’t really do anything to stop them. As for Ruby, the siblings usually teamed up to get away from their parents’ nagging, but he didn’t want to join in to just attract their attention and be scolded for not having any relationship progress.

Amber looked pitifully towards her father for help, but just one sentence from him caused her mother to turn on him too.

Helpless, Amber could only concede to her mother’s fury. Her mother scolded all of them, and finally, Amber even had to call Ian.

Once the call connected, she was stripped of the privilege of speaking. Her mother took over the phone, and personally talked to Ian. Of course, her mother’s tone was still quite kindly; in order to not lose her daughter any face, she didn’t act too brusquely.

She steered the conversation through a tortuous line of small talk before finally saying, “Ian, given that you’ve been with my daughter for this long, why don’t we officially meet up?”

She hadn’t asked for the two families to meet up, but rather just him and her family.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Ian was unusually patient with Amber’s mother. Even though he thought that her call was a bit random and out of the blue, when he recalled the romance books that he’d read, he was about to take a treasure away from her hands. Thus, it was only natural for him to act nicer to her.

And so, when Amber’s mother requested for them meet up, Ian decisively agreed without any hesitation, and even made sure to choose a date that wasn’t the sixth-that day was supposed to be a date day for him and Amber, and he’d force it through even if it were raining frogs outside.

After Amber’s mother confirmed the time for the meetup with Ian, she became paranoid about her daughter colluding with him and coming up with a fake story. So, not only did she confiscate Amber’s phone, but she even slept with Amber during the night, and she even came up with a decent excuse for doing so: your brother’s so tall that it wouldn’t be good for him to sleep on the sofa.

Amber had suffered through so much torment over the course of the day that she had no energy left to rebuff her mother. Giving up, she just accepted whatever her mother said.

Originally, because of Ian’s thoughtful and romantic behavior, she had been a bit happy inside, but after all of this hassle, those feelings had long since disappeared. The only desire on her mind now was to sleep.

And when she woke up, she realized, ‘Ah, today’s the fifth’.

Amber was very impressed with how much trouble her mother was willing to go through to cause trouble. However, she had no choice in this matter, and she even had to wake up early to try to curry favor with her mother.

After breakfast, she proactively said, “Ma, since we have some free time, let’s go shopping, buy some nice outfits, and get our hair done. You’ve worked hard all year long, so when you have time off, you should take care of yourself.”

Her parents worked in their diner every day for the whole year. In terms of eating, they were doing fine, but their appearance left much to be desired, as they were not even willing to i wear the new clothes that Ruby and Amber had bought for them.

Ruby also helped her out in trying to convince their mom. “That’s right! If you dress up well, Dad’ll look at you with fresh eyes.’

But that only provoked his mother’s scolding. “What do you mean? Are you resenting me for nagging at you? Are you saying that I’m old, garrulous, stale, and that your dad should swap me for someone fresher?”

Amber’s father, who had been innocently lazing around, was attacked out of nowhere, ‘How unjust!’

Amber knew that her mother was just taking her anger out on her brother, so she put in some real effort to comfort her. Only after bringing up Ian and the Axton family did her anger finally abate.

As the family left the apartment, Ruby and Amber sighed from the front. “Our mother’s so hard to please. It feels like our mother’s transformed into a wicked stepmother just because we haven’t found partners and gotten married yet.”

Meanwhile, Amber’s father was saying to his wife from the back, “This wasn’t what we planned… And why did you also start scolding me?”

Amber’s mother gave him a supercilious look. “Look at how good the results were! Didn’t Amber obediently schedule a meeting for us and little Axton l after? Even when we harried her before in the past, she didn’t treat it as something important. We were definitely too nice to them before!”

After thinking about it for a moment, Ambers father sighed in defeat. Yes, she was right. So, he continued to act out the role of the good cop to his wife’s bad cop, all the way until they successfully met Ian.

Ian had come alone, bearing a large number of gifts while also dressed cleanly and neatly. He was wearing a buttoned up jacket that could have come from a uniform.

That, combined with his calm, handsome, and austere face, gave off an elegant, noble, and gracious demeanor, completely unlike the dolt who had casually stripped naked in someone else’s home,

Ruby didn’t come because he had prior plans, so besides Ian, it was just Amber and her parents. When Ian arrived, his appearance left all three of them somewhat dazed.

Amber’s father was the first to react; he stepped in front of his wife and daughter as he said with a stern face, “You’re really Ian?”

In a cool but not impolite tone, Ian replied, “Yes. It’s nice to meet you, and Happy New Year to both of you.” And then he waved his hands, first giving them his prepared gifts.

He was quite adept at choosing appropriate gifts. They were not too expensive, but were clearly very presentable. “These are just a few trinkets, not as valuable as what Amber has given me.”

Amber immediately thought, ‘What valuable thing have I given him?’

Amber’s parents curiously asked, “What did Amber give you?”

Ian looked straight at Amber. He was sitting solemnly on the other side of the table; his posture was straight, and his bearing upright and unafraid as he very seriously and severely said, “She gave herself to me.”

Amber and her family opened their eyes in shock!!!
