Along the way, Owen drove carefully, and the car was filled with the excited laughter of Amanda and Ken. The gift Owen originally prepared for Amanda was a big doll, but Monica despised it for a long time, and finally replaced it with a set.
A cosmetic product whose name he has never even heard of.
Seeing how the two girls behind him liked each other, Owen was glad that he finally listened to Monica's opinion, otherwise he could fully imagine how Amanda would complain about him.
Owen took Kem home first. Kem's family lived in a wealthy area, very close to each other, and the car quickly arrived at her door.
"Thank you Owen, I like this gift very much..." The little girl expressed her gratitude politely before getting off the car.
"As long as you like it. Oh, by the way, say hello to Brian for me. I haven't seen him for a long time..."
Owen and Kem's father had a close relationship, but their working hours never matched up and they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Oh, you can tell him in person. He has been on a break recently and is in Los Angeles..."
"That's great, I'll contact him."
This was indeed good news. Owen started the car and drove away slowly, wondering if he could have a drink with Brian sometime.
When the brother and sister arrived home, their mother was already at home, and her car could be seen parked outside the garage from a distance.
When Owen and Amanda entered the door, their mother was stunned when she saw Owen, and then immediately smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Oh, my baby, when did you come back?"
Owen gave his mother a hug, but said in a dumbfounded voice: "Mom, I'm over 20 years old, can you please stop calling me baby..."
"Even if you reach eighty pieces, you will still be my treasure, hahaha... When did you come back? Why didn't you inform me in advance?"
"Just today, I want to give you a surprise..."
"This is indeed a surprise. Baby, what do you want to eat? I'll go to the supermarket to buy ingredients..."
Sure enough, being a mother is the same no matter which country you are in. Owen smiled and waved his hand: "No, I have bought everything and it is in the car. How about we have a bbq tonight?"
"What a great idea."
The family started to work happily. Amanda was in high spirits and kept busy. Owen saw that his mother didn't look like anything was wrong. She also asked Amanda on the way, and Amanda also said that nothing happened at home. Owen
He couldn't help but wonder if he was overthinking it, but he was pretty sure that his mother's tone was hesitant on the day he called. Owen simply gave up on guessing and decided to ask his mother directly.
Looking for an opportunity, Owen sat his mother down on the sofa.
"Mom, what's going on? Why was your tone wrong when you called me that day? Did something happen at home? Don't try to lie to me. You know I used to be a policeman. No one can fool the police...
"
When the mother heard Owen's words, she had a strange expression on her face, which seemed to contain a lot of happiness, shyness, embarrassment, worry...
Now Owen was more sure that something was wrong, and looked straight at his mother. Her mother lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally seemed to make a decision. She raised her head again: "No, Owen, nothing happened at home, it's just...
…”
When Owen was about to ask what it was, his mother already said with some anxiety: "McCall proposed to me..."
"What?" Owen thought he heard wrongly.
"McCall proposed to me."
This time Owen heard clearly, Uncle Black proposed to his mother. Owen looked at his mother, and his mother looked at Owen, her eyes were a little flustered: "Steve, I don't know whether I should agree to him, I mean
, you and Amanda, we are used to three people living together..."
His mother's words were a little incoherent, and Owen suddenly understood. He knew why his mother was hesitant on the phone that day. She must be worried about his and Amanda's attitudes.
It can be seen that the mother is willing in her heart, but she is afraid that Owen and Amanda will not agree. If her two children do not agree, even if she likes it, she will not be with McCall.
After thinking about this, Owen hugged his mother and said firmly: "Mom, don't care about our attitude. This is your happiness. As long as this is what you want, mom, we will definitely support you."
Amanda didn't know where she came from at this time. This guy had been eavesdropping, but she immediately expressed her position: "Yes, Mom, as long as it is your decision, we will definitely support it."
When the mother heard the heart-warming words of her two children, her tears flowed down uncontrollably. Her worries were all unnecessary, and she had a happy smile on her face.
"Mom, we can invite McCall to the bbq tonight. Also, how about I call Monica over? She is back with me this time..."
"Of course, this is very good..."
"Well, if you all call your friends over, then I will do the same. I will call Ken over..." Amanda said unconvinced.
"Of course. Oh, by the way, it's best to call Brian too. Forget it, I'll call him myself. But in this case, the ingredients I prepared won't be enough, and I have to go to the supermarket again..."
In this way, what was originally a small family bbq eventually turned into a party as more and more people were invited.
Owen and his mother greeted them and drove out the door. They stayed at home to continue the arrangements. He needed to go to the supermarket immediately to buy some more, and he also picked up Monica by the way.
…
As night fell, the lights began to turn on, lights were set up in the small yard of Owen's house, and a bunch of people were barbecuing and drinking in the bright yard.
Owen controlled the heat of the meat slices, and Zilara's oil dripped on the flames, making a pleasant sound.
"Who wants wine?"
"Here I am, thank you Linda..."
Mother smiled and took the jug over to fill them up with wine. At this time, there were more than just the few people they mentioned in the yard. They also invited the neighbors near Zilin Road. The bbq turned into a small party, with a bunch of people...
Sing and dance happily.
In the middle of the party, it suddenly became quiet, and then melodious music started playing. Her mother, Linda, was holding a wine bottle and pouring wine for the guests, and she was a little confused as to what was going on.
Ken secretly took the wine bottle from Linda's hand and motioned Linda to go to the center. Linda did so. The surrounding lights suddenly changed, and Brian controlled a spotlight to shine next to Linda.
Linda was a little overwhelmed by this sudden scene and didn't know what was going on. But then she saw McCall slowly walking towards him, entering the spotlight, then looking at her affectionately, kneeling on one knee
Then he took out a ring and held it up in front of his face: "Linda, will you marry me?"
"Bang, bang" sounded several times, and colorful ribbons were flying all around. Everyone cheered and looked at the two people in the field. Linda looked around, and everyone showed their most beautiful smiles. No one would be stingy with their blessings at this time.
"Promise him, promise him, promise him~~~"
Kem and several young people in the crowd couldn't help but start to cheer, and even the neighbors on Zilin Road also cheered and cheered.
Linda's heart was filled with happiness. She looked around one by one, and soon saw Owen in the crowd with a smile on his face, and then looked at McCall, who was nervous and a little uneasy like his first brother.
This piece of wood must not be able to produce these patterns. All this must have been done by my own son...
Linda almost grasped the essence of the matter in an instant, but she was still very happy in her heart. What is happiness? This is happiness!
Take a deep breath.
"I do!"
"Oh~~~~~"
McCall hugged her bride excitedly, and there was cheering all around, and the Purple Forest Road became a sea of joy.
