Under Lauren's introduction, Esther knew that the old man with grey hair and a rather tough body sitting in the upper seat was Clark, and the one sitting next to him was Gill, whom she had just met.
There was another young lady on the sofa. She was Amanda, James' biological mother and Clark's eldest daughter-in-law. Esther had met her before when she was with James.
Amanda once found Esther and demanded that Esther break up with James proudly. However, because of James' insistence, Esther and he didn't split up in the end.
Esther thought that they should have broken up back then. She would not have wasted half a year.
Amanda took the tea from Esther and put a big red envelope with the characters 'double happiness' into her hand. She then laughed mockingly, "Esther, you are really lucky to marry into the Gibson family as you wish."
"Thank you, Amanda." Esther bowed respectfully to her and took a step back.
Esther glanced around the living room. The Gibson family had many family members. Why was there no one else besides these three? Even her new husband, who was supposed to serve tea with her, disappeared.
However, Terence didn't even show up for yesterday's wedding. His absence didn't surprise Esther.
After Esther served the tea, Clark laughed and said, "Esther, you are now a member of our family. I hope you can get along well with Terence. It will be great if you give birth to children for him as soon as possible."
To bear children.... Hearing this, Esther blushed. The scene of her clothes being in disarray this morning instantly surged into her mind.
Esther quickly glanced at Lauren who was beside her. Lauren told her that Terence was not in good health and asked her to take precautions.
Gill glanced at Esther and smiled at Clark beside her. "Clark, did you forget? The doctor said that Terence is not suitable for having children now."
Clark waved his hand and said, "The doctor said Terence could not have children with other women, not Esther."
"That's right. Gill, have you forgotten that Esther's blood type is P? She and Terence are a perfect match." Amanda deliberately echoed.
Gill glanced at Amanda indifferently and said, "Then we should wait for Terence to be fully recovered. After all, he has just returned from abroad and has not adapted to the domestic environment."
Clark thought for a moment before replying, "Well, let nature take its course."
After saying that, he asked Amanda, "When will James return from his business trip? Can he make it to the family banquet tomorrow?"
"Yes, Dad. Don't worry." Amanda nodded.
James.... Esther's hands, which were hanging on both sides of her body, tightened slightly. She felt a little heartbroken.
....
According to the rules of the Gibson family, new wives were not allowed to run around in the first three days. They had to stay at home to be with their husbands and family.
However, Esther didn't need to keep her husband or her family company.... She just needed to stay in the house.
It was the second night of her wedding. Esther neither knew if Terence would show up nor he was at home or not. Maybe he had fallen asleep in the Parasol Tree Garden that she had accidentally trespassed on that night.
Esther lay on the bed nervously, staying up all night. She wanted to lock the door, but as Terence's wife, she felt that it was inappropriate.
Fortunately, nothing unusual happened throughout the night, and Terence did not come to her room.
