Chapter 1981
Georgie Clementine couldn't resist smiling. "Henry, thank you for being so good to me."
Henry Armstrong hugged her tightly in his arms. "I've worked so hard to make you mine. If I don't take care of you, then who should? Besides, you'll soon be the mother of my child, and we'll be together for the rest of our lives."
"Like what Stanley said, if a woman has bet her entire life on a man, he shouldn't let her down," he added.
Georgie felt greatly touched by what she heard, but she remained silent and allowed him to continue holding her close.
"Honestly, I wasn't planning on having a child so soon. I still need to focus on my career," she said after a while.
Alarmed, he shuddered and quickly pulled her away. "What do you mean? Don't you want the baby?"
The baby was his, too.
His heart started to ache when he thought about how an innocent life could be taken away.
He wasn't willing to let that happen.
Before Georgie could say more, he let out a long and helpless sigh. "Although I really want the baby, I will respect your decision. No matter what you choose to do, I'll support it, so don't worry about me." Henry felt his heart bleeding when he said this.
"Are you sure?" Georgie seemed shocked.
Henry had always indulged her, though she didn't expect him to let her have her way on this matter too.
"Yeah, it's your body. You have the right to choose if and when you want to have a child," he explained.
That had always been his take on the matter.
Georgie felt her heart melting once again after hearing his words.
Henry was such a good man. How could she get an abortion?
She couldn't possibly bring herself to disappoint him.
Georgie turned her earnest gaze at him.

Henry instantly felt relieved and released a deep sigh.
"I was so scared. I thought you'd choose to get an abortion."
She rolled her eyes at him, then gently flicked a finger against his forehead. "You're so silly! What were you thinking?"
Henry chuckled and pulled her into his arms again. At that moment, he wished they could merge and become one.
"Do you feel much better now? Are you still feeling nauseous?" he asked, then felt her head nodding. "Yeah, I feel much better now."
"Is there anything specific you'd like to eat?" he asked.
She shook her head. "I don't have an appetite right now."
"All right, you must let me know if ungry. I'll buy you anything to
eat
iness of what time it is," he
insisted.
"Okay."
"Oh, right..." he paused.

Chapter 1983
"How else would they react? Of course, they couldn't be happier for us. They agreed to us getting married and didn't say much else," Henry Armstrong declared.
A look of surprise appeared in Georgie Clementine's eyes. "Really?"
They had to go through tremendous mental struggles to convince Henry's parents to agree to the two of them dating, and suddenly, today, they agreed to the idea of them getting married without any qualms? She found that hard to believe as she knew that the Armstrong family wasn't particularly fond of her.
They only agreed at first because Henry insisted on being with her.
It seemed like they might only have agreed to their marriage because of her pregnancy.
Henry nodded. "It's true. Why would I lie to you? My mother also gave me the green light to take charge of everything.
"Most importantly, she doesn't know what your preferences are or your family traditions. Anyway, I told her I'll sort everything out. All they need to do is sign some cheques when the time comes," he continued. Naturally, he couldn't tell Georgie about a lot of things as he didn't want to upset her. Hence, he had to cover things up with white lies.
Georgie nodded absent-mindedly, not suspicious of anything.
She then turned her attention back to Xyla Quest and Annabeth Cates. "Let's get back to our topic. Is there anything else I need to know? I've got to remember everything."
Meanwhile, Henry also fell silent and paid full attention to the two women.
Right then, they were like two school students, eagerly paying attention in class.
Xyla couldn't resist laughing at their reaction before continuing to share her knowledge.
As she spoke, Henry was making notes on the notepad app on his phone, as if he was attending class.
Georgie was glad to see him taking this so seriously.
"Oh, right. The most important thing is-" Xyla paused dramatically.
Henry stopped typing and gazed at her solemnly. "What is it?"
"You need to abstain from sex," Xyla went on.
He immediately nodded. "I know. Don't worry, I'll keep myself under control."
***
After dinner, Henry led Georgie to his red Ferrari, fastening her seatbelt once they got in.
Once he was certain she was secured, he didn't immediately turn on the ignition. Instead, he thoughtfully gazed at Georgie.
"Honey, let's go for a prenatal check-up tomorrow. We need to schedule regular check-ups as Xyla suggested. It would be better for you and the baby," Henry told her. Georgie nodded in agreement, already planning to do so even if he hadn't suggested.
"Also, you shouldn't stay up late from now on. If you can't finish your work for the day, you can get it done the next day. I'm sure Xyla will understand now that you're pregnant.
"I know you don't want to stop working at X Entertainment, and that's why I won't ask you to stay at home while you're pregnant. Even Xyla said pregnant women should not over-exert themselves, so you must agree with what I said," Henry expressed in earnest, acting like a father who couldn't stop nagging.
When Georgie saw him like this, she couldn't help but imagine a stern-looking Henry reprimanding their adorable but frightened child in the future when they misbehaved.
That scenario made Georgie feel as if her heart was about to melt.
She nodded. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
She had already decided to heed Xyla's advice even before he said anything.
"However, there's a question on my mind," Georgie said, pausing for a moment.
Henry seemed curious. "What is it?"
"Should we sleep in separate rooms from now on? Knowing you, you'd probably find it hard to resist sex."
After all, Henry was the kind of man who became aroused easily when they slept next to each other.
He scratched his head awkwardly. "I can abstain, for you and our child."
"No, I think it's safer if we sleep in separate rooms," she insisted.
Hearing this, Henry immediately held her hand with a sad expression on his face. "It's bad enough that we can't have sex throughout your pregnancy, but it would be too cruel if I can't even touch you or hug you. Are you willing to do that?"
Her determination weakened when she saw him like that. "I'm only thinking about you."
"It's fine, I don't care. I want to sleep next to you," he insisted, still wearing a pitiful expression on his face.
"Fine."
Henry immediately let out a long sigh of relief. "Thank you, Honey."
Georgie shook her head helplessly. "Don't blame me if anything happens."
"I promise nothing will happen. Come on, let's go home," he said before turning the ignition on and beginning to drive very slowly.
A luxurious sports car was not meant to be driven at such speed.
Georgie couldn't resist complaining. "You're driving too slow."
"I'm concerned about the baby," he told her.
"You're overthinking. Drive as you would, normally.”
"Yes, ma'am," Henry replied and then began to pick up speed.
Georgie shook her head again before opening Weibo.
For the moment, the topic related to the marriage proposal in Goldfield Plaza was still trending on the number one spot, with an additional topic underneath it; '#Georgie
Clementine's fiance#'.
Georgie clicked on it, then saw a post from someone claiming to be an insider, who exposed Henry's identity to the public.
The source claimed that Henry was
a capable businessman who ran his
own company and belonged to a wealthy family. Not only was he rich in his own right, but he also came from a noble family.
His family was the kind that couldn't be found on Google.
This Weibo post was published five minutes ago, but it already had over seven-figured forwards, likes, and comments.
Everyone was discussing excitedly in the comment section—
"Does that mean she's going to marry into that kind of family?"
"D*mn, she's a winner in life."
"I don't think that's strange. He's close friends with Stanley Batton, after all. He couldn't possibly be an ordinary person."

Chapter 1984
"That's impressive! Georgie Clementine is so lucky."
"Why is she still working? She can afford to stay at home from now on."
"I'm very jealous. I'm also a woman, but why is she so successful?"
Georgie Clementine saw various envious remarks, so she couldn't be bothered to continue reading. Hence, she directly exited from the topic and checked out the other trending topics.
As the CEO of X Entertainment, Georgie needed to check the list of hot topics many times each day. Mainly, she needed to pay attention to gossip within the entertainment industry, particularly about the company's artistes.
Any unexpected circumstances related to them would be picked up in time to prevent further negative impact.
After browsing through and realizing nothing unusual, Georgie looked over the news briefly before closing Weibo, resting her eyes.
***
The next day, Henry brought her home to talk to his parents about their wedding.
His parents didn't say much but remained polite throughout the conversation.
Georgie could sense that they still didn't approve of her all that much, but she behaved politely.
Although she initially had her reservations about Henry's mother, she had already made peace with it because she didn't want Henry caught in an awkward position between them.
He always treated her well, and he offered to compromise on many things, so this was something she felt obliged to do for him.
After visiting his parents, they went to the clinic for her first prenatal check-up, finding everything to be normal.
On the third day, Henry went to an astrologer to decide on an auspicious date, which was set on the twelfth of the following month.
Then, on the day after, Georgie brought Henry and his parents to her family's house located in a small city in the south, Sunlight City.
They informed Georgie's parents
about their chosen wedding date
and Henry then handed a huge sum of money to them as Georgie's betrothal gift.
The Armstrongs left right after lunch, while the expectant couple decided to stay the night to spend time with her parents. They would leave the next day.
After seeing his parents off, Henry drove Georgie around the city in his red Ferrari.
Winter in Sunlight City was different from Atlantis in the north. It only rained but never snowed here.
In comparison to Atlantis, it was very wet and cold here.
Fortunately, the heater in the car made it warm enough, neither of them feeling uncomfortable.
The population was small in the city, quite the opposite of Atlantis, which was densely populated. The roads here were wide, and the traffic was sparse.
Henry felt at ease in this city, and so did Georgie. They have stayed too long in a crowded city, that it was not surprising for them to crave peace and quiet in a place like this. en.swhovels.net
His luxurious Ferrari stood out in the small city, attracting much attention as it drove past.
Some people even began taking pictures of his car.
Georgie and Henry, who were at the center of attention, didn't care at all.
Georgie began telling him about her
experience growing up in this small
city, noting that not much had
changed since she moved to
Atlantis for work.
Everything she saw here reminded her of the good times during her youth, filling her with a sense of nostalgia.

Chapter 1985
"Where's the mall? Let's look for a mall so we'd stay warm inside. Also, we can buy something for your parents. What do you think?" Henry Armstrong asked. Georgie Clementine pointed at the intersection ahead. "Turn left and head straight after this. You'll see the mall then."
Henry chuckled. "Yes, ma'am."
Following her directions, they soon arrived at the largest mall in Sunlight City, the Weston Mall.
It was a common-looking building standing at only three-storey high, paling in comparison to the malls in Atlantis that had over ten storeys.
Henry looked at the state of it, unimpressed. "It is small."
He was unfamiliar with the brands displayed on the billboards outside the mall.
There weren't any international brands he was used to seeing.
"Of course, this is not Atlantis," Georgie replied.
"Well, since we're already here, let's go in and have a look," he suggested, parking his car in front of the mall's entrance.
His elegant, luxurious car instantly attracted a lot of attention.
Henry was the first to get out of the car, his air of nobility and immaculate attire instantly winning over the girls who were paying attention to his luxurious car. "Ahh, that man is so handsome!"
"The car registration number starts with 'A'. Is he a wealthy man from Atlantis?"
"Isn't that a Ferrari? That is so cool! It is the first time I've seen a Ferrari in a small city like this."
The girls were muttering among themselves, unable to stop looking at Henry who didn't even spare them a single glance.
He strode directly over to Georgie's side and opened the car door, gently extending his hand to her.
"Let's go."
Smiling, she held his hand. "You're so popular," she said teasingly.
He shrugged helplessly before walking into the mall with his fiance. Suddenly, everyone's voices became even louder-
"That girl is very pretty, too!"
"I'm envious that she has such a handsome and rich boyfriend."
"They look so good together. They're a match made in heaven."
Georgie could hear what they were.
saying, but she had long gott were
to to feel g comments like that anything now.
As they entered the mall, Henry stopped walking. "Do you know where the restroom is?"
She nodded, pointing in a specific direction. "Go that way, and turn right."
"Wait for me here, and I'll be back shortly," he told her.
Georgie immediately nodded.
As he walked away, she couldn't help but wander around on the first floor, not waiting for Henry at the same spot.
She found herself at a jewelry store where her attention was on a butterfly-shaped diamond ring behind the counter.
The butterfly was made with multiple two-carat diamonds, priced at one million.
It was the first time she saw such an expensive ring in a mall like this.
Captivated by the ring's design,
Georged at the display. " elooked behind the et
and
you
please show me that ring?
The sales assistant was
concentrating on her phone, but when she heard Georgie's voice, she immediately looked over at the ring in question.
After a second, she started speaking in an indifferent tone. "That ring costs one million."
Chapter 1986
Chapter 1986
After that, the sales assistant directly shifted her gaze back to her phone.
This ring cost one million.
Who in this small city could afford it?
Moreover, Georgie Clementine was dressed casually that day. She didn't look like she could possibly afford the ring.
Georgie instantly felt appalled by the staff's attitude, knowing exactly what she was thinking.
She couldn't be bothered to argue with someone like this, so she turned around and walked up to another jewelry store, browsing casually.
The sales assistant at this store smiled at her. "Are you looking for a ring?"
"I'm only casually browsing," Georgie said while she perused over the display area.
The pieces that came into sight were relatively cheaper, but the designs also seemed ordinary to Georgie.
Nothing stood out to her.
When the sales assistant from the previous store heard what she said, she immediately rolled her eyes at Georgie.
She then looked at the sales assistant in front of Georgie and mouthed the words 'a poor woman who only wants to look'. Georgie hadn't noticed this, but the sales assistant in front of her did. She smiled and began recommending accessories to her. "Miss, I think this design suits you very well. Have a look," the girl suggested, pointing at a two-carat diamond ring with a clean design.
It had very good craftsmanship, despite the plain design.
Georgie shook her head and continued browsing until her gaze unintentionally landed on a necklace that cost 200,000.
The simple necklace hung around the neck of a black mannequin.
The necklace had a straightforward platinum chain and a crown-shaped diamond pendant.
There were three approximately two-carat diamonds on the three pointy sections of the crown, while the rest of the necklace had smaller pieces of diamonds embedded as embellishments.
With excellent craftsmanship, the necklace glistened brightly.
It would be nice to wear it now and then.
Georgie casually pointed at the necklace. "I'd like to have a closer look, please."
The sales assistant glanced inquisitively at her before retrieving the necklace for a closer inspection.
When the previous sales assistant from the other shop saw this, she discreetly rolled her eyes at Georgie again.
'Something's wrong with this
woman. She clearly can't afford it, but she still wants to look at it,' she thought, assuming that this was a classic case of someone who only tried on goods but could never afford to buy them.
Soon, the sales assistant in front of Georgie put on a pair of silk gloves and carefully retrieved the necklace before helping to put it around her neck.
Georgie smiled and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
The necklace's length was just right where the crown rested directly above her collar bones, glistening brightly as she wore it.
"I'll take this one," Georgie announced, glancing at the staff, who was visibly shocked to hear that.
She didn't expect her to buy the most expensive necklace in the store so decisively.
This necklace had been on display for a year, but nobody ever bought it.
Honestly, the sales assistant was only doing her job by serving Georgie.
Chapter 1987 Chapter 1987 'It would be great if she spent ten or twenty thousand here,' the sales assistant thought to herself at first.
In the end, Georgie Clementine ended up spending a lot more than expected.
The sales assistant on the other side was dumbfounded when she heard Georgie confirm the purchase.
She promptly placed her phone down and stared at the client from behind with a shocked expression on her face.
The woman didn't even hesitate when she heard the hefty price tag of the necklace.
What did this mean?
It meant she was a wealthy person!
She had just missed a huge opportunity for a massive sale by refusing to do her job of attending to any potential customer. In this case, if she had shown the ring to Georgie when she asked, she could have been the one who made the sale.
Right then, she truly felt remorseful.
The sales assistant in front of Georgie was overjoyed. "Really? Are you sure?"
"Yes, please get it wrapped up for me," Georgie confirmed.
The staff nodded and proceeded to wrap the necklace up before handing the invoice over to her.
She was still stunned after Georgie had accepted the invoice, who then went to settle the payment at the cashier wordlessly.
Even after she had gone to pay, the sales assistant still couldn't calm herself down, finding it hard to catch her breath.
The sales assistant on the other side was in a similar state, except she was also deeply envious of the other sales assistant who had just served Georgie.
She should have been the one who was celebrating joyfully.
It was her fault for looking down on the woman and why it drove her to another shop.
Once Georgie had made the payment, she returned to the staff with the receipt, collecting the necklace she purchased.
She maintained her elegance throughout the entire process, not even sparing a glance at the earlier sales assistant who had snubbed her.
The lady in question immediately ran after Georgie when she saw her leaving. "Miss, would you still like to check out that ring from before?"
Georgie frowned and stopped walking. "I was going to buy it, but if you're around, then forget it," she told her pointedly. She was genuinely fond of that ring, but with the staff's snobby attitude, she was definitely not going to buy it from her.
Although Georgie knew the lady felt remorseful, she wanted her to feel sorry and learn from her mistakes. Her words left an immense impact on the sales assistant, who felt so awful she could barely breathe. However, she wasn't going to give up so easily. "About that, Miss, I'm sorry."
"If apologies worked, why would we still need the police?" Georgie scoffed. "Here's some advice, young lady. If you want a long-term career in this field, you should not look down on any customer."
With that, Georgie turned to walk away, leaving the heartbroken staff to stand rooted to her spot.
It was such a shame that Georgie was initially planning to buy the ring from her. It was only her arrogance that caused her to miss a massive opportunity.
Right then another long-haired sales assist walked up to grab her by the with one hand. "You' shouldn't have looked down on that woman.
"She's Georgie Clementine, the lady who made it onto the list of hot topics a few days ago."
Chapter 1988 Chapter 1988 When she heard this, she immediately looked at the long-haired sales assistant. "Why does that name sound so familiar?"
"You're so clueless. She's the CEO of X Entertainment, the company that your idol, Josh Batton, is attached to," the other woman said.
She became even more exasperated after hearing this. "What? I can't believe it!
"I've seen Georgie's pictures before, but I couldn't recognize her face," she added, feeling even more remorseful now.
"That's what you get for not spending more time on Weibo. Look at me, I frequently check out stuff on Weibo, and I can remember some of those people."
The sales assistant felt even worse.
Not long after Georgie Clementine had left with her new necklace, Henry Armstrong came up from behind and hugged her.
He followed her along while casually checking out the various brands that he wouldn't buy. "Why didn't you wait for me where we were? I didn't see you when I came out, and I looked for you everywhere." As he spoke, he noticed the bag Georgie was holding.
"What did you buy?" he asked.
"A diamond necklace that cost 200,000," she answered cavalierly.
"That's cheap," he remarked.
Georgie didn't reply. She brought Henry up to the second floor via the elevator.
The second floor was the women's department, separated into two sections. One was for middle-aged women, while the other was for younger women.
Georgie held Henry's hand and browsed at the middle-aged section for a while until finally, she found a few coats for her mother.
Henry paid for everything as long as Georgie liked it.
Just like that, he stayed silently by her side and paid for everything she wanted to buy.
Later, they went upstairs and bought a few other coats for her father.
When they finished, Georgie brought him to a milk tea shop in the mall, ordering a glass of milk tea for her fiance and a glass of fresh orange juice for herself before they sat by the window and started drinking their beverages.
Georgie had been so busy all this while with work. It made her feel happy and at peace to occasionally slow down her pace, do some leisurely shopping, and relax like this. They held each others' hands tightly under the table, looking very cozy.
"How do you feel now? Are you uncomfortable?" Henry asked.
Georgie shook her head. "Not at all. I'm fine."
"That's great, let me know if you feel any discomfort," he told her.
"Okay, but you can't do anything about it even if I told you."
Henry immediately sighed in dismay when he heard this. "That's true. I wish I could experience all the discomforts of being pregnant on your behalf. Georgie, I don't care if our baby turns out to be a boy or a girls We're only going to have one child."
Georgie looked surprised. "Why? I thought wealthy families all wanted a big family?" Wealthy families in Atlantis rarely only had one child per family, as far as she was aware. For them, the more children they had, the better.
"That's what other people may want, but I'm not so particular about this. I don't want you to go through all this discomfort again. I was terrified when I saw you retching the other day," Henry admitted.
"I never thought about it much when I saw other pregnant women going through morning sickness. Who knew it would hurt so much when it happens to my wife?" he added. Georgie immediately felt touched by his concern.
Then, she frowned slightly. "What do we do? I want to have two children."
Chapter 1989 Chapter 1989 Georgie Clementine wanted to have more than one child as they would be lonely without a sibling.
She was fond of children for a start, so she didn't want to limit herself to having only one.
When Henry Armstrong heard this, a stern look came on his face. "No way! We're only going to have one, and I won't agree to another one. I've already told you why." Her frown deepened. "Who was it that said he'd respect my decisions for the rest of his life? I happen to like children, and I feel very strongly about having two kids." He fell silent.
Although he wanted to refute, he could tell that Georgie was upset. He immediately raised his hands to surrender. "Fine, fines as you wish. Please don't be mad."
"That's more like it," she replied. "However, I am not talking about the second child right after this one. We'd have to wait until our firstborn is at least six or seven. I don't want my career to be affected by having two kids consecutively."
"All right. Anything you want, my love."
Henry couldn't help but agree with her. He had vowed to spoil her rotten, give her anything she wanted after working so hard to make her his.
No matter what it was, big or small, she'd have the last say even if they disagreed on something. Georgie's decision would always be the right one.
She lifted her hand to ruffle his hair gently when she saw him succumbing to her wishes. "Good boy."
Henry frowned helplessly as he complained. "Would I dare to behave any differently? What should I do if you get upset when I misbehave?"
She couldn't resist laughing when she heard his whiny tone. "You're adorable."
"Drink your juice," he said affectionately.
Georgie immediately placed her lips above the straw and took a few sips elegantly.
"Aren't those two Georgie and her rich fiance?"
"How's that possible? Why would those two come to a tiny place like this?"
"It does look like them. D*mn. The longer I look at them, the more I think they look like Georgie and her fiance."
"Be more confident. It is!"
A few young women stopped strolling and started observing the couple as they talked amongst themselves.
Their eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration as they studied them.
When Georgie heard their voices, she glanced at them and politely nodded in their direction.
Those women became even more excited- "She acknowledged us! It is Georgie! They look so good together."
"She's so polite and pretty."
"Her fiance is very handsome too. He looks even better in person."
"That's true, he should become an artiste."
"He wouldn't care about getting into the entertainment industry."
"We can't be too sure about that.
Josh family too, and he ended up into 3 Batton comes from a the entertainment inget The young women continued to gaze unabashedly at Georgie and et Henry while they stood rooted fo their spots.
Henry glanced at them briefly before shifting his gaze to his fiance. "Honey, some people said d together." Content wel.net good He seemed somewhat proud and pleased with himself as he spoke.
"Yeah, I heard them."
"The ladies in your city are so sweet," he told her.
Beep, beep, beep- Right then, Henry and Georgie's phones started ringing at the same time.
Chapter 1990 Chapter 1990 Georgie Clementine and Henry Armstrong simultaneously took their phones to have a look.
The same content of a news article from Weibo appeared on their phones.
"Georgie Clementine's expensive betrothal gift."
Glancing at her fiance with a puzzled look, she clicked on the article to find a source, claiming to be her neighbor, had revealed a private matter on Weibo a while ago. This neighbor mentioned that Georgie's parents received 30,000,000 in cash as her betrothal gift and that her mother was the one who shared the news.
The article even posted a photo of the source, revealing the face of a woman whom Georgie recognized as a daughter of the family that lived opposite their unit.
It wasn't surprising at all that her mother had shared the news. Small town folks around her mother's age generally liked showing off anything related to their children. It was practically a hobby of theirs to boast about their children's accomplishments.
The news article already garnered over six-figure forwards, likes, and comments despite only being published a short while ago.
There was already a heated discussion ongoing in the comment section.
"30,000,000?! The Armstrong family sure is generous. I'm jealous."
"Hehe, are they selling their daughter? 30,000,000? Is she made of gold?"
"Just say that you're jealous. It's pointless anyway. The more jealous you are, the worse your life becomes."
"Georgie is such a strong woman. How is she not worth 30,000,000? Do you think a keyboard warrior like you is worth that much?"
"I'm never disappointed by other people's fiance."
"Every news related to Georgie for the past two days can only be described with one word: ridiculous."
"I don't want to type how jealous I feel anymore. How can someone be such a big winner in life?"
Georgie briefly skimmed through the comments before opening the list of hot topics to go through it.
Just as she expected, the news made it onto the third spot on the list of hot topics.
She could already guess what everybody was saying without even clicking on it, so she exited Weibo and resumed sipping her orange juice. Henry had also finished reading everything by then without much of an expression and interest.
Instead, he smiled at Georgie.
"Looks like my mother-in-law is genuinely happy about your betrothal gift. It even made in vel.net the list of hot topics."
If Georgie's mother was happy, he naturally felt the same, too.
Georgie instantly rolled her eyes at him when she heard this. "Watch your words. What do you mean by 'mother-in-law'? We aren't married yet."
"It's going to happen sooner or later, so I can already address her as such," he replied.
Georgie couldn't retort because it was true.
"Let's go to the grocery store and buy some ingredients. We can have hot pot at home with my in-laws. What do you think?" Henry asked.
"Or do you think we should take my in-laws out for dinner? Do you have any recommendations for any decent restaurants around here?" he added.
He was already getting used to addressing her parents as his in-laws.
"Let's have hot pot at home. My parents don't like dining out," Georgie stated.
"Why?"
"They think it's a waste of money. Aren't older folks generally like this?" she wondered.
He seemed surprised. "They have money now. They can spend it however they like. Besides, how is eating out a waste of money?"
She shook her head when she heard this. "They've always had money but they're reluctant to spend it. It's a habit they can't change because they always think about saving money for my sake.
"I've told them repeatedly that they don't have to worry about me. I'm already successful, but they just won't listen. They always tell me to save for a rainy day. I've talked t them about it far too many times, and I've gotten tired of doing so," she explained with a sigh,
