Chapter 299: 299 Upside Down

She was squealing and jumping with joy as soon as she was back inside, like she had won a lottery.

"Look at you… squealing like that. Do you like him that much?" Her mother teased her.

Luo chuckled and put her arm on her mother's shoulder and countered, "How about you mom? Do you like him that much that you easily gave me away to him without testing him first?"

Her mother laughed and said, "Nah… Dear, it's because me and your father trust your judgement. You choose him and he will take responsibility towards you… So of course, we will love him now like a son."

"By the way, what's the deal with Noah's parents?" Her mother tried to get on the topic of concern.

Luo pouted her lips and said, "Noah did not like his stepmother. Mom, let's be more sensitive since he has a complicated relationship with his family… By the way, I'm sure you and dad will be delighted to meet his sister instead."

Her mother adjusted her position on the couch, looked at Luo intently and asked, "And why is that?"

"Hmm, it so happened that Noah's sister is Brione… The actress you love so much in the drama you're watching right now."

"What?!" her mother almost screamed.

"Is that a prank?" Her mother asked with a surprised expression.

Luo laughed and shook her head. She was amazed at her mother's expressions changing like the winds.

Her mother covered her mouth and burst, "No wonder Noah is so good looking that I thought he is also an actor…"

"But then my daughter is so good looking too that you yourself can be an actress if you want."

Luo laughed and said, "Oh gosh, you're really my mom. So bias…"

Both laughed hard as they proceeded to their rooms.

Luo actually did not know what was the real deal between Noah and his parents, but according to her research before, he had a distant relationship with his father and stepmother. She presumed Noah did not like his stepmother or there could be more to it.

She hoped that Noah could also open up to her soon during their relationship. She wanted him not to keep any secrets from her, and she would gladly do the same to him.

The next day, Luo excitedly went to work early in the morning with the thought of finally being with Noah in the evening.

"I should cook dinner later…" she whispered as she sent a text message to Noah informing him to have dinner in his home instead since she would cook.

She suddenly felt bad for him because of the bad timing in the past few days, including today… Because this morning, she just had her monthly period that would usually last for five days so unfortunately Noah could not make love to her later.

"What an unlucky man…" she mumbled with a grin because she couldn't wait to see his reactions once he found out that they should postpone their honeymoon for another five days.

"It's not my fault since I'm willing to give to him everything," she murmured and thought of what to cook later on as a compensation.

Meanwhile, Noah had a beautiful smile on his lips as he read Luo's message, saying she would cook his favorite dishes for dinner and asking what he would prefer.

"I prefer to eat her… Didn't she know that?" he muttered with a grin. Then he quickly pursed his lips, realizing he was grinning alone in his office. Ever since he met Luo, his world suddenly turned upside down. He did things he would not usually do.

A long deep sigh came out of his chest because finally he could have her tonight. He wondered how she would react though because upon finding that nothing happened between them that night when she was drunk.

Noah then deliberately shook his head. It was early in the morning, so he should focus more on work instead.

Craig entered his office…

"Coffee?" he said with a grin. He was aware Noah already married Luo since Noah gave him the task to book Luo's parents for a grand vacation together. Obviously the cunning man wanted to be alone with his wife since their marriage was not known to Luo's parents yet. It was an additional gift for Luo's father, who celebrated his birthday yesterday.

"The tickets are booked, and I already made all necessary arrangements for a one week vacation. Man, I can't believe how fast you are. I mean, just days ago we were talking and now you even manage to marry first before me?" Craig beamed in amazement.

"He should learn tricks from Noah instead, so he could also trap Gale into marriage," Craig thought, wearing a wry smile on his lips.

"How did you do it?" Craig pondered.

"Hmm, I think in your case it will be harder. Craig… Gale had a traumatic experience so you will need extra patience with her. Women with traumatic experiences are hard to convince…" Noah hissed back at him but with a sensible remark.

Craig exhaled loudly and muttered, "Yeah, I know… Anyway, I will go now and check if she and Mike are done talking… Hopefully will win her case this week."

Craig left with dropped shoulders and walked towards Mike's office. He opened nothing yet about marriage, but he would love to do that.

He let out a frustrated sigh because until now he had not heard the three magic words from Gale, but somehow he could feel that he meant more to her. However, he did not want to assume unless he heard it directly from Gale.

He knocked, and Gale had that beautiful smile as soon as she saw him. Craig wanted to pull her away quickly so he could be alone with her.

"Done?" he asked, and Gale nodded and stood up. Mike walked her out and said, "In three days that man will surely be sentenced to life imprisonment."

"Hopefully… I can't wait to see that happen," Gale grunted with gritted teeth.

Craig held her hand and looked at Mike to bid farewell. Her eyes shone complex emotions which Craig could read how she felt at that time.

As they walked towards the parking lot, Gale looked at him and asked, "Can we have a stopover? I won't take long."

"Alright. Where do you want to go?" Craig's heart was beating hard. He could almost foretell what Gale would like to request him.

"I want to visit Gilbert's graveyard, please. It's been a while…" Gale almost whispered.

Craig could not help but feel the stinging of his heart. He knew he should not feel that way over a person who already passed away, but still it often reminded him how that person occupied most of Gale's heart, not to mention Liam, who had a percent as well.

Another sigh escaped his mouth because he wondered how much value did he earn until now in Gale's heart, or if he had to still go a long way to occupy a meaningful part of it?
