Surprised Wife With Twins

Chapter 2176: The Elder Kept in the Dark

He was completely terrified! He quickly whispered to his mother, "Mom, Summer is very busy with filming. She will finish very late today and won't have time. Let's do it next time."

"Not even time for a meal together?" Mrs. Brightwood felt quite disappointed. "This is a special day. Can't you talk to her about it?"

"No, she really doesn't have time. It's not something I can negotiate. It's the filming schedule, and we have to follow the director's orders." Rupert whispered firmly, "Next time, it's easy for family to get together for a meal. Alright, I'm busy now, I have to go."

To avoid raising any suspicions, he quickly hung up the phone and put it on silent mode.

Rupert could sense a change in the Campell family's attitude towards their daughter's marriage. Previously, the elders hoped he would come back soon and complete the wedding ceremony. But now, they seemed willing to give it time, appearing much calmer and more rational, no longer urging for the wedding. It seemed as if they knew something.

However, Rupert felt confident that no one in Arkpool City would know about his gambling overseas. Even the creditor had just received $50, 000, which should keep him quiet for a while.

So Rupert felt safe for now. He knew he should win Summer over; only by keeping her happy could the wedding proceed as planned and everything fall into place.

The Brightwood family lived in a relatively old apartment building. In the outdated living room, Mrs. Brightwood sat on the sofa with a floor plan in her hands, examining it closely until she understood it. She was extremely excited inside. "We can handle the renovation ourselves; this way we can save a lot of money."

"Young people nowadays prefer to hire renovation companies for innovative designs. Our old-fashioned ideas are long outdated," Mr. Brightwood adjusted his glasses and looked at his wife. "Hiring a renovation company might be more expensive but it fulfills their wishes."

Mrs. Brightwood looked at the floor plan excitedly and shared her thoughts, "This space here can be an activity area for the kids; even putting a slide won't take up much room-it's so spacious." She grew more enthusiastic as she spoke-

"This area can be used as a study; it's just the right size."

"There are three standard bedrooms, which are just enough."

"The balcony is quite wide; we can grow flowers and keep fish."

But after hearing all this, Mr. Brightwood bluntly said-Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Don't give any suggestions; young people have their own ideas. When it comes time for renovation, they won't listen to you anyway. Avoid causing any conflicts. Although we paid for the house, Summer is its mistress and should feel that way."

"Isn't it strange?" Mrs. Brightwood carefully put away the floor plan and couldn't help but say, "When we were looking to buy a house for Summer before, she refused dozens of times with such high standards. Now that Rupert is back, she bought one without even asking if we had enough money or needed to borrow some. She doesn't worry about money at all."

"A trend is one thing, but she doesn't

"Alright, stop complaining. You insisted on us paying for it; what else does she need to ask?" Mr. Brightwood didn't want to argue further. "It's become a trend for the man's family to buy the house."

even ask about it. I just feel... this girl doesn't really consider others' perspectives much; it makes me feel uneasy Mrs. Brightwood lamented. "We've treated Summer well att these years, always seeing her as our daughter."

"Does asking that make you feel better?" Mr. Brightwood asked her, "Or do you expect her to pay us back some money?"
