Eric had already planned to spend his life with Sylvia, so meeting the Williams was inevitable. Since he was still recovering from his injuries, he saw today as a good opportunity.After they finished shopping, it was already noon.Sylvia had also purchased cosmetics and clothes. The cosmetics were for Elly, and the clothes were for her parents-in-law. She removed the price tags beforehand, knowing Blake and Melinda might find them too expensive. After all, older folks often watched their spending.Sylvia thought that now that Eric knew her true identity, it was time to show respect to her in-laws.Blake and Melinda couldn't stop smiling when they saw the brand-new clothes. It was the first time their daughter-in-law had given them gifts, and they were overjoyed.Sylvia said, "Dad, Mom, and Elly, I couldn't reveal my relationship with Eric earlier for certain reasons. I'm sorry if I've slighted you all."Blake quickly said, "Sylvia, don't say you're sorry for anything. We're alre

Henry envied Irvin. The latter had shared drinks with Eric, but Henry hadn't. He had planned to enjoy a few drinks tonight, but it seemed unlikely now.Given their high social status in Salt City, Eric had expected to feel nervous when he visited the Williams. To his surprise, he felt comfortable.This encounter changed his view of upper-class families. To him, they appeared no different from regular people.Eric also noticed that the Williams genuinely cared for Sylvia. This favoritism was why they didn't object when Sylvia wanted to marry him. Additionally, Irvin approved of Eric. Since Irvin was willing to become his sworn brother, Eric couldn't be all that bad.-Eric and Sylvia finally left after 9:00 p.m.Before departing, Amelia gave him a gift with a bank card inside, and Henry did the same.Eric hesitated, but Sylvia accepted them on his behalf."These are gifts from my parents, so you should accept them. Besides, we're legally married now," Sylvia said.Eric finally

Sylvia snorted. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Not tonight! You've gotta wait for another month!" "What?!" Eric was stunned.'I have to wait for another month?! How am I going to survive that?!'Sylvia said, "You've waited for 29 years. Can't you wait for just one more month?"Eric pouted. "Well… It's hard… I feel like crying…""Crying?" Sylvia scoffed. "You have someone taking care of you every day, and you're still not satisfied?"She finished wrapping the bandages and said, "Alright, it's done. Stop thinking about all those things. Until you're healed, there's no chance! It's for your own good! If you aggravate your injury, it'll be challenging to recover!"Eric sighed, convinced that no man in the world could resist spending their days with someone as beautiful as Sylvia. When he saw Sylvia lock the door upon entering the room, he knew he had no chance. He had even planned to sneak in around midnight.-The night passed, and the next day arrived. At 10:

Eric did not want to waste his time on Jasmine. In the afternoon, he had to go to the Williams for lunch.Irvin arrived a little earlier than them. As the leaders of the two prominent families in Salt City, their interactions were quite frequent. Although Henry had temporarily delegated authority in recent years, Irvin knew it was just his way to groom the next Williams generation.If Sylvia and Sylvester could manage Williams Corp. well and take it to greater heights, Henry would have nothing to worry about. He could let his son and daughter manage the company. However, if neither Sylvia nor Sylvester proved capable, Henry would definitely step in and take control of Williams Corp. immediately.Irvin admired Henry's willingness to entrust Sylvia with leadership responsibilities, something he couldn't bring himself to do. Instead, he chose to mentor Keith and allow him to accumulate more experience, avoiding granting him complete control over the entire company. Irvin lacked the c

Irvin was starting to dislike the wine. He glanced at Misty, wondering if he should let her be with Brook. Then, he could ask Brook to send him some wine bottles and invite Henry to enjoy it properly.As he pondered, Eric and Sylvia returned. Seeing the whole family gathered, Eric finally understood the meal's reason."Brother Eric!" Irvin greeted. "Come join us for some wine. This wine earned your father-in-law's high praise!"Eric noticed it was the wine he had gifted him yesterday. He hesitated to sit down, mindful of Henry being his father-in-law, even though he and Irvin were close as brothers. Keith had also distanced himself earlier."Big Bro, Father, please savor your wine." Eric smiled. "Sylvia and I need to talk."Henry glanced at Eric, appreciating his sensibility.Once the Williams brothers returned, everyone took their seats.Since Eric couldn't drink, only Irvin, Henry, and Grandpa Godrick indulged. After a few rounds, Irvin and Henry were a bit tipsy.Henry hadn'

Brook didn't understand why his father asked him to take wine to Irvin, but he knew it meant he could finally be with Misty.-In the car.Keith asked, "Dad, why do you insist on having Uncle Eric deliver wine to you? We have plenty of wine bottles at home!"Irvin snorted, "Didn't you notice Henry's arrogant expression? The wine was a gift from Eric, showing off because I don't have a son-in-law!"Hmph! I'll have Brother Eric deliver it, and tomorrow, I'll flaunt it, claiming it's a gift from someone else's son-in-law! Let's see if Brook catches on! Otherwise, there's no hope for him and your sister right now."Keith was speechless at how childish his father was."Dad, did you trade your own daughter for wine? Are you sure I'm your biological daughter?" Misty looked displeased.Irvin chuckled. "Misty, don't think I'm unaware of your secret meetings with that rascal. You're getting too old to stay at home! Plus, the Williams family and our family are a good match now. Uncle Eric

Eric boldly reached out and held Sylvia's waist. He exhaled near her ear, causing a tickling sensation.Sylvia clenched her teeth, suspecting Eric was doing it intentionally. He seemed experienced.Eric grew impatient but couldn't tell if Sylvia was awake."W-What are you doing?" Sylvia asked."You're awake..." Eric was almost terrified.Sweating profusely, he braced himself for Sylvia's potential anger. She turned to look at him, and her fragrance overwhelmed him.Just as he prepared to make his next move, Sylvia suddenly instructed, "Go take a cold shower."Eric thought they might continue after the shower, but Sylvia added, "It's that time of the month."Eric looked puzzled. "What do you mean, 'that time of the month'?"Sylvia laughed. "Honestly, do you not know, or are you just pretending? If you're unaware, search it online. I don't want to explain it to you!"Eric frowned, opened his phone, and searched. Soon, he looked dejected. "It came last night." Sylvia looked at

"Hehe!" Irvin smiled and poured the wine into different glasses. He pushed the glasses toward Henry and said, "Henry, give it a taste. These two glasses of wine are quite different!"Henry's mouth twitched, and he tasted both glasses."How is it?" Irvin could not wait to ask, "Can you feel... the different flavors?""It's good!" Henry nodded and left it at that.This left Irvin frustrated. Why did Henry not ask about the significance of these two glasses of wine? He was not playing by the rules!However, with an argument ready, Irvin said with pride, "One bottle is from my prospective son-in-law, and the other is from my sworn brother. Of course, they are good!"Henry thought, 'What's with this fellow? Is he trying to compete in everything?'Then he chuckled and said, "Irvin, it won't be long before I can drink wine from my daughter-in-law!"Irvin's expression froze immediately!He thought he had outsmarted Henry, but the latter used that unexpected move against him!Henry co
