Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 216

“It shouldn’t be a problem,” Adrian said with a smile.

Patrick and Debra got excited instantly.

Stacey was also happy, but when she thought about her situation, she felt depressed. How could

Isabella like this? She wanted to see them as well!

Stacey looked at Adrian with an impatient expression.

she approach Damian and

Adrian felt inexplicably guilty under her gaze. He hesitated for a moment and then explained, “Well… Becky, it’s not that I don’t want you to go. After some time, when I tell Isabella and her family the truth about our identities, I’ll introduce you to them as soon as possible.”

Stacey felt both sad and envious, but in the end, she could only agree with tears in her eyes.

After that, Patrick and Debra became nervous. They were so used to a wealthy lifestyle that they realized they didn’t know much about ordinary living.

To avoid being noticed as unusual when they met, they decided to learn about ordinary people’s lifestyles and habits and work hard to control their actions and expressions.

Not only that, but they also had to pick out gifts for Damian, Isabella, Carly, and Ronald.

By their usual standards, they would have simply chosen the best, but now, because of the need to keep their identities hidden, they couldn’t give anything too conspicuous.

Yet, when Patrick and Debra considered more ordinary things, they felt they weren’t good enough for their grandson and future daughter–in–law, which made them very worried.

Stacey originally wanted to help pick out gifts, but as she started planning, Patrick and Debra stopped her.

Debra asked her not to worry about these things and to arrange Eugene’s affairs as soon Stacey should stay in touch with Hayden and communicate with him more.

possible. She also mentioned that

Perhaps by communicating more, they could discover more childhood stories they didn’t know about, like certain places or little stories only Hayden remembered.

In the eyes of Patrick and Debra, Adrian’s marriage was important, but Stacey’s future was equally important; both needed attention.

While they arranged Adrian’s affairs, they also had to urge Stacey. They couldn’t let this carefree woman forget about her arrangements with Hayden. What if that relationship faded after a long time?

The thought of it broke Debra’s heart.

Stacey was not a fool. She could sense that her parents were trying to set her up with Hayden, and she was actually very confused now.

From their time together, Hayden seemed like a really good man.

She understood her mother’s concerns. If she were to miss the chance to be with such an excellent man, she might never have another opportunity like this in her life.

But was it really necessary

to accept another person so soon?

Every time Stacey thought about this, she still felt uneasy and couldn’t understand her feelings.

She undoubtedly didn’t dislike Hayden; she even… kind of liked him.

When Hayden approached her and kissed her, her heart would beat faster. She wasn’t stupid; she knew what that feeling was, but after a failed marriage, she was terrified of entering another one.

“Dad, Mom, no matter what, I still want to pick out the most suitable gift for Isabella and Damian. Even though I can’t go to the first meeting, I have to prepare gifts. Those gifts can also be kept for later. After Adrian confesses his identity to Isabella, we can give them to her, just like the ones you prepared for me before.” Stacey looked at her parents and spoke firmly.

She would never forget the feeling she had when she reunited with Patrick and Debra and saw the gifts they had prepared for her year after year.

Even though the gifts were very precious, it didn’t matter if they were just ordinary gifts. Just knowing that her family had been preparing something for her year after year, never forgetting or neglecting her, the feeling of being touched wouldn’t change..

Now, preparing gifts for Isabella and Damian was the same. Even though she couldn’t attend their first meeting due to special circumstances, she couldn’t skip preparing gifts for them This was her way of showing her feelings for Isabella and Damian.

After hearing Stacey’s words, Patrick and Debra thought she made a lot of sense, so they agreed with her arrangement. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Debra said seriously, “Okay, go ahead and prepare. But don’t forget about Hay. You promised a few days ago that you would accompany Jeremy for the operation. Make sure you remember that.”

Stacey replied, “Okay.”

“By the way, have you informed Bryce and Charlie? Since we’re preparing gifts, let’s let everyone know so they can get ready.” Patrick turned to Adrian.

Adrian answered, “Okay. I’ll tell them later.”

“No need to wait. It’s after work hours now; why don’t you call them now and share the good news? Get Bryce to take two days off and come back. His identity is not as sensitive as that of Charlie and Becky. He can join the meeting,” Patrick replied.

Adrian agreed, “Sure.”

As such, Adrian called Bryce and Charlie immediately in front of everyone. To be precise, he used his phone to call Bryce and Debra’s phone to make a video call to Charlie. With both phones together, he could talk to both brothers simultaneously, avoiding repeating the same thing several times.

Once the calls connected, Adrian told them what he had said to his parents and Stacey.

Bryce and Charlie reacted the same way as the others; they were stunned.

Charlie was especially shocked. He couldn’t believe it and even questioned, “You have a wife? And your child is already three years old?”

Adrian turned to look at the phone with Charlie’s video call and nodded. “Yes.”

Charlie blinked and joked, “Did you recently go to a random country and eat some poisonous mushrooms? Are you hallucinating?”

Adrian’s face darkened at once, and he snapped, “I’m not hallucinating; it’s real!”

“Then I must be hearing things! I must be dreaming now! What is this? I’m crazy to have such a dream!” The next Charlie muttered to himself. Suddenly, the screen went black because Charlie ended the call unilaterally.

Stacey was also stunned. She wondered what Charlie meant by that.

But then she soon figured it out and found it amusing. Charlie must be in denial about Adrian having a girlfriend and a three–year–old child. Since Charlie thought it was absurd and unreal, he must have thought this was all just a dream! That was too funny!
