The middle-aged man came up with a smile. "Are you Mr. and Mrs.White?"
Emman answered and asked politely, "We are... and you two are?"
"I am Edward Brich, the father of William Brich, and this is my wife Rebecca, I am very sorry to take the liberty of visiting without prior notice?"
Although Emman's face had not changed, his tone had become a little cold. "How do you know that we will come back at this time?"
"We don't know. Since the day before yesterday, my wife and I have come every morning and left at seven in the evening."
Emman and Emily looked at each other, and Elisa opened the door. "Please come inside."
After the elderly sat down, Elisa poured tea for the four parents.
Edward and Rebecca had good etiquette and manners, which were cultivated in a good environment for a long time.
Rebecca smiled kindly. "You must also know the news that William and Elisa registered for marriage. We think it is very inappropriate for marriage to be so hasty. Therefore, I came uninvited and hope that the two in-laws will not laugh."
Emily said bluntly, "We disagree."
"Mr. and Mrs. White, you are carrying something heavy in your hearts." Rebecca still said gently and softly, "I know the reason why the two of you disagree is that you are afraid that our family will not treat Elisa any good after marriage, right?"
Emily shrugged, she did not respond.
"Elisa is kind to the Brich's. How can we be willing to let Elisa be treated wrong?"
"Really?" Emily was puzzled.
Emman's eyes also flashed with doubts.
Edward said, "Yes. Originally, these things were private affairs of the Brich family and should not be publicized everywhere, but our two families are one family now, so there are no scruples. You have probably heard of the news that my eldest son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident five years ago."
Emily and Elisa both nodded.
"At that time, my daughter-in-law was about to give birth. In the car accident, my son, Wesley turned the steering wheel in order to protect my daughter-in-law and the child in her belly, causing him to die on the spot, and his wife was seriously injured and in danger. At that time, Elisa happened to pass by and deliver the baby for my daughter-in-law, only to save the child's life."
Emily and Emman didn't expect to hear such news.
Rebecca smiled with tears in her eyes. "In order to protect the child and let him grow up healthily and worry-free, the child is fostered in William's name. Therefore, the outside world thinks Bruce is the child of William. I understand your concerns. In fact, William and Elisa are all married for the first time. He had no marriage history before. But for Bruce, we will not clarify Bruce's identity to the society for a long time, and will let him live in the name of William's children. Besides, you don't have to worry that Bruce will treat Elisa badly. Something happened to Bruce before. He was prone to autism. He didn't allow anyone except William to approach him. Even my husband and I couldn't touch him. But Bruce accepted Elisa, which I think is a good phenomenon. "
Elisa looked at Edward and Rebecca and thought to herself, "How can two such educated people raise William to turn out to be a bastard?"
After hearing that, Emman said, "We also know your sincerity and purpose. Since the two children chose to get married, the parents didn't mean to object. This matter happens too fast on the whole."
"The marriage registration is really fast. The wedding matters require the two families to sit down and discuss. Our family will never do wrong to Emily. Please rest assured." Edward laughed.
The four people talked for a long time, and soon after, Edward and Rebecca left.
As soon as Emman sent the two people out, he wanted to sneak out too, and was flown by Emily for a few supercilious looks before he stopped.
Emman looked at his daughter who was sitting down again in front of him. "I listened to your mother and William Brich's parents. Now I want to hear what you say."
Elisa looked at her parents carefully and said, "Mom and Dad, I am married to William Brich."
"Good. If you say so, your mother and I will not say anything. In the future, your parents will help you to whatever extent. We are just here for you. If you are happy, you will continue with your married life, and come back here if you are unhappy."
After Elisa heard her father, her eyes turned hot, she leaned over to Emman and Elisa choked, "Sorry, I made you worried."
Emman patted her on the back. "I believe you have the ability to make yourself happy under any circumstances."
"I won't make myself uncomfortable."
"Good."
Elisa cried with her mom and dad in her arms. Those days, the backlog of emotions dispersed a lot, and then she went back to her room to wash her eyes red.
After lying in bed, she found that there was unread information on her mobile phone.
It was from William..
"I have settled the post, so can you be my bride with peace of mind."
Elisa was in a daze with her mobile phone for a long time before typing a line, "What kind of life will we live?"
As soon as Elisa White's message was sent out, William Brich called.
Elisa picked up the phone and didn't hear the voice of William. Instead, he heard a steady footstep and some faint background sounds.
Elisa waited with bated breath.
It was not until the other end of the phone became quiet that the magnetic lazy voice of William came. "You can live any life you want."
"Is it?" Elisa asked indefinitely.
"Of course. If you are worried about getting divorced in the future, I can tell you clearly. With me, your probability of divorce will be much lower than that with ordinary men. At least none of the men in our family have been divorced yet. I have no plans to break this good tradition for the time being."
"Are you telling me in disguise that you want to live with me all your life?"
William chuckled a few times. "Isn't it good?"
Elisa listened to the nice laughter of William Brich, and the corners of his mouth also rose slightly.
"Go to sleep." William said.
"Hmm."
They didn't hang up the phone, they just quietly listened to each other's breathing.
Elisa swallowed her saliva. "What are you doing?"
"Work." William paused and added, "By the way, sort some women who you want to be out of your married life."
Elisa was silent for a moment. "Are you showing off to me?"
"What is there to show off? A successful man is not measured by how many women he has slept with, but how he can make a woman willing to sleep with him all her life."
Elisa's reply was to hang up the phone directly, too lazy to pay attention to this kind of mental derangement.
Elisa hid gossip like an ostrich for a few days and didn't go to work.
After Edward and Rebecca came to visit their home, the string in their hearts finally relaxed.
She was not the kind of person who was afraid to face difficulties and rumors, but that matter was beyond her own control, and it was not her who tossed those things.
In essence, she was in a passive position in that matter.
At that time, people from her family agreed with her relationship with William Brich, and William also took out his attitude.
