Seize His Little Wife

“I’m laughing at you.” Christine White’s eyes narrowed to slits.

Debby York responded and gave her a light smack, “What’s so funny, my mom’s so mean too, like I can’t get married.”

“Auntie’s in a hurry too.” Christine White took a sip of her juice.

Debby York sighed, “I really don’t know what the rush is, I’m obviously still young.”

“She just wanted you to have a home of your own sooner.”

“I know, but I can’t see any of these coming tonight.” Debby York said with a disgusted look as she swept the room of men.

Christine White covered her lips and smiled, “If you can’t see it, just find a reason to reject them all.”noveldrama

“That’s for sure.” Debby York smiled back.

Christine White turned her neck to look around, “Right, where’s uncle? I only see auntie busy, why don’t I see uncle?”

“My dad he’s resting with a sore leg.” Debby York pointed to a room door.

Christine White nodded knowingly.

Debby York came over and whispered, “Christine, did you tell your husband about getting a doctor?”

“Not yet, it’s been a bit of a rough couple of days between him and I. The words haven’t gone very far and I don’t know how to talk to him, but don’t worry, I’ll find a way to talk to him.” Christine White reassured her.

Debby York shrugged her shoulders, “I believe you, you drink while I go to the kitchen and bring some food.”

“Uh-huh.” Christine White answered.

As soon as Debby York left on the front foot, Mother Yu came over on the back foot.

“Christine, why don’t you come to play with Debby lately?” Yu’s mother smiled and sat down.

Christine White returned with some apologies, “I’ve been so busy with work lately that I haven’t had much time yet.”

When I became a secretary, I had to work almost non-stop every day, and sometimes I had to work overtime, so naturally I didn’t have much time to walk around.

The next best thing was Baird Lane, who used not to come back to the cottage to stay, and she was so lonely on her own that she would occasionally come to Debby York’s house to stay over.

But naturally, since Baird Lane has moved back to the cottage, she can’t do what she used to do.

“I heard you and our Debby both got promoted right?” Mother Yu asked.

Christine White nodded softly, “Yes.”

“That’s just right, these young men coming tonight are all the management of some small companies, Christine, do you have your eye on any of them, let’s get to know them?” Yu’s mother was pulling red strings for her.

Christine White’s mouth twitched, “Auntie, I …”

“Mom!” Debby York came out from the kitchen with a plate of snacks, just in time to hear what Yu’s mother was saying to Christine White, and immediately said without a trace of anger, “What are you babbling about, Christine is already married, what are you pulling around?”

She placed the treats in front of Christine White.

Mother Yu froze, “Married?”

Christine White nodded, “Yes Auntie, I was just about to tell you.”

Yu mother awkwardly snorted, “Look at me, also did not ask clearly before … I’m really sorry Christine ah, you will not blame auntie right?”

“Of course not.” Christine White smiles.

Yu’s mother sighed in relief, “That’s good that’s good, by the way, when did you get married, why don’t we know?”

“Been married for a long time, it’s just that my marriage to my husband is a bit special, so it’s not publicized.” Christine White explained vaguely.

Yu’s mother seemed to understand, “That’s so, then why don’t you bring your husband along with you tonight, so that my aunt we can get to know each other?”

“My husband didn’t have time tonight, so I didn’t bring it, next time.” Christine White coped.

“Okay, bring it to us next time.” Yu’s mother returned, then her expression turned and she glared at Debby York with hatred, “Look at you, Christine who is about the same age as you is married, you’re still a bachelor, good for you?”

Debby York beamed, “Hmph, you just hate that I’m a bachelor.”

“If you can’t get married, I must dislike you.” Mother Yu sneered.

Christine White sat on the sidelines, watching the bickering mother and daughter with amusement, a hint of envy crossing her eyes.

Such a great mother-daughter bond.

“Alright, alright, you stay here with Christine, I’ll go ask the lads about their families.” Mother Yu got up and left.

Debby York sits down with a long sigh, “My mom is really fiendish, is there a need to be in such a hurry?”

“It’s okay, Auntie is just palming you off too, she won’t force you.” Christine White patted her thigh, signaling her not to worry.

Debby York took a sip of her drink, “Let’s hope so.”

Christine White didn’t say anything more, and she didn’t know what to say.

After all, this was something between a mother and daughter, and it wasn’t good for her to interfere too much.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost ten o’clock.

Christine White pulled out her cell phone and glanced at it, and to her surprise, there was a missed call on it from Baird Lane, and it was from ten minutes ago.

Christine White thought for a moment that she had been in the restroom exactly ten minutes ago, so it was no wonder she had missed it.

“Christine where are you going?” Debby York shouted in disbelief when she saw Christine White heading out the door with her cell phone.

Christine White shook her cell phone, “My husband called, I’m going out to take a call.”

“Okay, then hurry back, it’s time to cut the cake.”

“Good.”

Christine White walked out onto the balcony and closed the balcony door behind her before calling Baird Lane back over.

The phone quickly picked up and Baird Lane’s slightly huffy voice came through, “Christine White, why didn’t you answer the phone just now?”

“I was just in the bathroom, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to leave it unanswered.” Christine White apologized.

Baird Lane pursed his thin lips, “Are you finished there?”

“Not yet, but the cake will be cut soon.” Christine White looked back into the room and returned.

Baird Lane hmms softly, “Hurry down after you cut the cake.”

“Huh?” Christine White froze, then leaned over the balcony to look down, “You’re here already?”

“Outside the neighborhood gate.”

“I’ll be right down then.”

“No, just come down after you cut the cake.” With that, Baird Lane hung up.

Christine White could only do as he said and went back inside to cut the cake with Debby York.

Debby York heard that her husband had come to pick her up and was going to keep her for the night, but now she had to be let back in.

“Take this with you.” Debby York lifted a small box and offered it to Christine White.

Christine White took it, “Cake?”

“It’s for your husband, he didn’t come up here, but at least he’s here, he can’t be missing out, go on, don’t keep him waiting.” Debby York pushed her to the door.

Christine White cried and laughed, “I’ll thank you for my husband then, bye!”

“Bye.” Debby York waved.

Christine White came downstairs with the cake.

As soon as she left the neighborhood, she saw a black Mercedes parked on the side of the road.

The Mercedes was the one Baird Lane drove last time, and she remembers it well.

The last time she went out to dinner with Debby York, this was the car Baird Lane drove when he came to pick her up.

Christine White walked over toward the Mercedes and tapped on the window.

The window rolled down and Baird Lane turned his head to look at her, “Get in.”

Christine White nodded, pulling open the passenger door and sitting in it before handing him the small box in her hand, “For you.”

“What’s this?” Baird Lane picked it up suspiciously.

Christine White smiled and replied, “Cake, ah, cut especially for you, you can taste it, it tastes okay.”

“I don’t want it.” Baird Lane tossed the cake back to her.

Christine White’s smile froze on her face, “Why?”

“I don’t have a sweet tooth, help yourself.” Baird Lane started the car.

Christine White gripped the cake box tightly, “But this is just for you.”

“Then I’ll pass it on to you.” Baird Lane eyed the front of the room and said faintly.

Christine White smiled, “Thank you then.”

“It’s just a piece of cake, and you’re happy?” Baird Lane swept her an afterimage.
