Nola’s eyes lit up. “Really?! You said it yourself, so you can’t take back your words. Alisa will be the witness!”
Elvis nodded. Of course, he wouldn’t take back his words. Nola was overjoyed that she took the initiative to hug him.
Alisa saw it and quickly looked away, but a smile oozed from her eyes.
Nola blushed and stepped back. She forgot Alisa was there with them and felt so embarrassed.
“Oh, we now have a hostess in Breeze Garden. So nice. I guess old Mrs. Grayson will finally rest assured.”
“Uh, no, Alisa. It’s not what you think it is.”
“I get it! You two are a cute young couple. I bet Mr. Grayson’s parents will be rapturous if they know this.”
Nola then realized that she had met Elvis‘ grandma but had never met his parents. It was said that the Grayson family was warm
and harmonious, but why was Elvis living alone?
Nola wanted to ask, but she knew she was not the one to ask questions about his family. Yet Elvis started to talk about them
himself.
Elvis‘ parents were always loving. But years ago, his mother had heart surgery. After the surgery was done, Elvis‘ father left the
business all to Elvis.
After all, Elvis was old enough to take over the group, and the old couple needed some time of their own.
Then, they started to travel. This time, their travel lasted for two months. They totally forgot that they had a son working for them.

Nola envied their love. No wonder Elvis was so affectionate and couldn’t forget his childhood sweetheart. He had loving parents.
Nola thought of her mother and felt sorry for her mother.

Her mother and his mother both married their beloveds, but her mother ended up like that.
Maybe her mother chose the wrong person.
“Grandma is getting better. She knows this about us. I promised to pick her up with you when she is discharged from the hospital
next weekend. And my parents will be back by then. You and me, we will go pick them up at the airport.”
What Elvis said slightly caused mental distress to Nola.
“So I will meet his parents soon?! Wow, never expected it. Will they like me?” she thought.
Nola remembered the Lees and those filthy words they, the rich people, said. If Elvis‘ parents didn’t like Nola, she would
definitely have a hard time living with Elvis.
She hadn’t given the parents thing that much thought.
“Can I not...”
“You will have to meet with them. You can’t avoid it forever, you know.” Elvis knew what she was gonna say. But since she was
married to him, she had to get used to it all.
He sighed and stared at her. “My parents are reasonable. And I’m not a loser who needs to marry a rich girl to support the
Grayson Group. So, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Nola nodded but was still antsy.

“What are their likes and dislikes about girls? Give me some information. I need to be prepared.”
The girl he married was serious about meeting his parents, which satisfied him.

“I thought you could handle all kinds of people. Why do you need information? You won Granny’s favor. What made you think
that you would lose my parents?”
“Yeah... but I still want to get fully prepared.”
“They’re open–minded. So just be you.” Elvis then remembered something and added, “We gotta go shopping for you tomorrow.
Buy something you like or need. I may have no time to shop with you.”

Nola lowered her head and checked on her own dress. “What is wrong with my clothes?”
“You are my Mrs. Grayson,” Elvis remembered that she didn’t leave much stuff in the dressing room. If his parents saw that when
they came back, they would believe he was mentally abusing her.
But Nola thought he was suggesting that her clothes were all too cheap to be on his wife.
Elvis took out the secondary card he had prepared for her, but Nola didn’t want to take it. She only married him to get her mother
cured.
“I don’t need your money. I can buy clothes with my own money.”
“This card came along with the title of Mrs. Grayson. Do you want people to see me as a man who can’t even afford to buy his
wife expensive clothes?” Elvis was so firm about it that Nola had to take the card.
At that moment, she had a feeling of becoming a rich person. But the atmosphere was too tense. To ease it, she snickered and
said, “What’s the maximum?”
“Make a guess.”
“I can use it at my will? Aren’t you afraid of me maxing your card out?”
“Have a try. I’m expecting you to impress me with your great squandering ability.”
“Hee–hee, you will regret it.” Since Elvis said so, she didn’t have to worry anymore. Nola planned to invite Linda to shop the next
day.

Nola was planning the shopping with ka–chin sounds echoing in her mind. She was like a different person from the girl she used
to be when she was with the Grant family.
However, it would be better if the card was really hers.
A smile flashed in Elvis‘ eyes. His girl was naughty and cute, yet stubborn, proud, and greedy. But she always had her principles.
Sometimes, she had her wits. But she could be slow.
Having her by his side, Elvis felt his dull life being colored.
Nola had a sound sleep that night. She was worried that Elvis would have sex with her again, but the man simply slept with her
in his arms. After Nola fell asleep, Elvis opened his eyes.
‘I drained her last night. I don’t want to frighten her.
She looks like a wild cat but is actually timid. Since she’s mine now, I will protect her.
Since Nola was his girl, she would always be his. Elvis didn’t notice that his attitude toward her was changing, but he knew Nola
was his forever.
