Surprised Wife With Twins

Chapter 2147: Forcing Summer to Buy a House

After following Summer into the room, Mr. and Mrs. Brightwood still wore smiles, not mentioning their secret visit today.

"Summer, we bought you some custard apples. They are said to be very sweet. Would you like to try one?" Mrs. Brightwood asked, doting on her like a daughter as she quickly took the fruit out of the bag.

Summer knew they had seen her with Spencer earlier and were definitely unhappy. Their smiles were forced, and they must have felt uncomfortable inside.

"Thank you." She took the bag of fruit and placed it on the coffee table. At the same time, she noticed another bag in Mr. Brightwood's hand, conspicuously filled with real estate information, clearly from a sales office.

"Summer, we've looked at several houses here. They all have good layouts and sizes that you would be satisfied with. The surrounding facilities are excellent-hospitals, schools, and so on. Can you spare two hours tomorrow to sign a contract? Let's settle this matter first. These houses are ready for occupancy; Mrs. Brightwood checked them out for you today."

The mention of buying a house made Summer think of marriage, dampening her mood.

Looking at the heavy bag, the girl fell silent, wondering how to start the conversation.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Rupert Brightwood had not returned yet; she needed to discuss this with him first.

Talking directly to her parents would disrupt the process, and they might persuade her otherwise or even get so upset that they end up in the hospital.

The girl's silence made the two elders uneasy. Could it be that she didn't want to get married?

"Summer, do you..." Mrs. Brightwood asked anxiously, "Do you have any new thoughts?"

"Buying a house is a big decision, Mrs. Brightwood." Summer raised her eyes and looked calmly and seriously at the middle-aged woman, expressing her stance. "I think we should wait for Rupert to come back and make the decision together, rather than me going alone to look and sign."

Mrs. Brightwood was slightly taken aback; it made sense but...

She thought for a moment and explained to her daughter-in-law, "This shows how much our family values you. Even though you're not officially part of the family yet, we've already considered you as one of us."

"But I think it's disrespectful to Rupert." Summer smiled and continued, "Maybe our generation thinks differently from yours."

Mrs. Brightwood just wanted to finalize this matter quickly to avoid complications.

So when Summer refused, regardless of the reason, she found it hard to accept and felt that Summer didn't want to get married.

Mr. Brightwood could clearly see his wife's expression change; she became serious and conflicted.

"Maybe we should wait for Rupert to

come back before discussing this,"

Mr. Brightwood suggested, not wanting to force things as he seemed to understand some underlying issues.

But Mrs. Brightwood's emotions were somewhat out of control. She took two steps forward and stared intently at Summer as if she had a lot to say.

Summer met her gaze but felt a bit uneasy under her scrutiny.

She knew some things had to be faced eventually, like what they saw earlier. If they asked about it, she would have to explain.

However, since the elders didn't bring it up, Summer wouldn't either because such matters were hard to clarify.

"Summer, was that man called Spencer?" Mrs. Brightwood started the topic with an uncertain tone-partly unhappy and partly serious.

Summer realized that the upcoming conversation would revolve around this man.

"Yes." Since they had already found out, there was no need to hide it; Summer answered truthfully.

Mr. Brightwood came over and

pulled Mrs. Brightwood aside. "Let's

sit down and talk; I'll get you some water." It felt too confrontational standing up.

Mrs. Brightwood also realized that her emotions were hard to control. Why did her daughter-in-law mention him so calmly without any guilt?
