When I Met You

Susan specially chose a white evening dress which was proper yet casual. She put on a light make-up, and by the time they were almost departing, Edward picked a necklace and helped her to wear it. Susan felt a little curious looking at this necklace because all the while Edward always showered her with expensive presents. In contrast, this necklace only had a heart-shaped diamond engraved on it, and it didn't look brand new.

"My late mother picked this necklace especially for her daughter-in-law."

Edward explained faintly.

"Then let me return this to you after tonight." Susan was very understanding.

Edward didn't respond to her, instead he just let Susan hooked around his arm and together they entered the car and off they went to the Ford family house.

All the while, Susan was aware that Edward was from a wealthy family, however she wouldn't be able to imagine the extend of Edward's wealth!

The Ford family seemed to have established a kingdom in the southeast corner of A City, and from the manor house one could see the orderly roofs of the buildings from afar, and as Susan sat in Edward's car, she found that the car still had to travel for some time before reaching the main courtyard. When they got off the car and entered the main building, the insides were so luxurious that she was amazed by the noble yet low-key aura.

Susan suddenly discovered that the notion of her divorcing Edward sounded like a ridiculous thing at the moment. It would be a massive waste if she didn't extort any money from him.

The moment Susan entered the building, she saw an old person sitting in the living room. Although he had white hair, his eyes were intimidating. His old age didn't conceal his air of mightiness at all. "Dad." Susan recognized that this old man was Edward's dad, so she immediately greeted him with a smile.

Edward didn't greet his father but instead he just handed something to a butler standing by on one side. He then asked Logan, "Is brother here?"

"Ruben is bringing over your new sister-in-law."

The moment Logan finished his words, a clear and crisp voice rang out from the second floor.

"Edward, you're back! Come here! Let me meet your smart and knowledgeable wife."

As he said that, he was also strutting down the stairs.

Susan took a good look at this man and found that he had a set of beautiful features which included a pair of mesmerizing eyes. The way he carried himself made him look like a playboy. "My name is Scott. How should I address you?"

"Just call her Mrs. Ford." Edward replied on her behalf.

"How is that enough? Of course I know she's Mrs. Ford, but I want to know her real name. I have heard that she is very smart, her academic results are very good and she is very clear-headed. Now that I can see that she's a very pretty girl too, so naturally I want to know her name."

"Follow me to the study."

Before Susan could answer Scott, Logan suddenly summoned Edward to the study.

The only people left in the living room was Susan and Scott, and she couldn't find a way to avoid introducing herself, so she simply said, "Susan."

"So your name is Susan? It's such a nice name!"

Scott was really a talkative person.

At the same time, Susan shifted her gaze from Scott to the second floor while asking with a frown, "Are you biological siblings with Edward?"

"We have different mothers."

Scott's tone was very casual when he talked about this, and he looked like he was more interested in talking to Susan, "Edward resembles the old man more and less like his mother, and on the other hand, I resemble my mother more and less like my father. That's why we don't look alike at all."

"No wonder."

Susan nodded while thinking that the Ford family was really complicated.

The moment she stepped into the building, she was already feeling confused by the conversations she had heard.

Scott was very willing to share about the details of the Ford family, "In no time, my big brother will arrive. When you see him, you will see that we don't really look alike at all. For him, he takes after his mother and the old man equally."

"..." Susan couldn't help staring at Scott with her eyes widened. She couldn't help coming to a conclusion, "So, your father has three wives?"

"You're smart."

Scott couldn't help praising him.

It was no wonder that Edward barely went home all the while. With such a complicated family relationship, if Susan were to take his place, she wouldn't want to come back home often too.

"Are you guys' perspective about love and relationship as messy as your familial ties too?"

Susan grabbed the chance to ask when she saw Logan hadn't returned yet.000000
