After breakfast.

Ella and Eden go to the Dillon family together.

Going to meet the parents for the first time would be a bit of a trepidation, especially since, as she and Eden were still formally married, it was clear that there was a bit of a reputation to be had.

"My family is great to be around." Eden seemed to see Ella's mood and spoke bluntly.

Ella turned her head to look at him, "Are they all getting along?"

"All good, except ......" Eden paused.

"Hmm?"

"Individuals." Eden was indifferent.

"Who?"

"We'll see when we get there." Eden said carelessly.

"Can't you just let me prepare a little bit in advance."

"No surprises if you prepare ahead."

"Eden, what kind of surprise is this!" She didn't want a bunch of crap to come out on her first day in the house.

"The point is, it's useless to talk about it." Eden said, "And you're so icy smart, I'm sure you knew who it was right away."

"......"

Damn.

One of these days it's going to be Eden who's going to be pissed off.

The sedan arrives quickly at the Dillon family villa.

The so-called number one house in Seattle really lives up to its name.

Situated halfway up the mountain, the villa was like a medieval manor, with its large lawn and splendid architecture, and at that moment it couldn't help but make Ella a little shaken up.

"And that scares you?" Eden raised an eyebrow.

Who says she's afraid?

Ella controlled herself and got out of the car together after THE Dillon family maid respectfully opened the door for them.

The old Ella might have been a little uneasy with unfamiliar surroundings, but now Ella, she just lets herself, go forward.

The two men walked into the hall.

Everywhere is opulent.

If she didn't know it was THE Dillon family, Ella would think she'd walked into the lobby of a superstar hotel.

In the distance, a large family of THE Dillon family was seen, sitting on a couch, seemingly just waiting for them.

Ella couldn't help but, let herself take a secret deep breath.

When I think of when I married Lucien and they were staying with the Williams family, the image of Lucien taking her to tea with his parents the next morning, his parents' condescending gesture, and Lydia's deliberately sarcastic demeaning of her, is still fresh in my mind.

At that time, Lucien explained to her that her parents would naturally put up the appearance of elders because they were elders, otherwise they would lose their status in front of the younger generation, and asked her to be more understanding. As for Lydia's capriciousness, he lightly said that she was still young and had a mouthful, so don't bother with her.

And she, indeed, listened to his lies.

Always thought THE Williams family parents were condescending only because of their status as elders, and thought Lydia's disrespectful treatment of her was only because, well, she was young and uneducated.

Ella pulled a sudden smile.

It was being unworthy of his former self, and admonishing himself to be reborn in a new life and never to condemn himself again.

That moment.

Eden suddenly pulled her hand into his.

Ella was stunned.

"Don't get the wrong idea, we're not in a good place emotionally." Eden explained.

Are they affectionate?

How bad is this Eden guy at languages, he can't even use words.

At the moment it should be.

Don't let on that we're not in a good relationship.

Ella muttered darkly.

Then the feet followed Eden and stopped in front of the couch.

At the moment, in the center of the sofa, sat the Dillon family couple Titus and Kate, on the left sat the Dillon family's first young master Michael and his wife Vivianne, and on the right sat the Dillon family's second young master Brian, as well as a woman that Ella didn't recognize. A woman, who looked like she should be Brian's girlfriend. In the far corner of the sofa, there was a girl holding a white Ragdoll cat, which was as beautiful and pure as the girl.

"Ella, you're back so early, you worked so hard yesterday, why don't you rest for a while." Kate hurriedly stood up and pulled Ella affectionately.

Friendliness that exudes from within and is not faked.

It's nothing like how Lillian made her feel back then.

Lillian also shows intimacy with her in front of outsiders, and that intimacy really repels Ella from the inside, however Kate doesn't make her feel that way.

She smiled slightly, "Slept pretty well. Eden and I left early last night so we were well rested, instead of making you guys work hard."

"It's all family, talk about hard work." Kate was very enthusiastic, "Come, come, come, hurry up and sit down."

"Mom, the new daughter-in-law has to toast the tea at the door first, you'll have to pay for the change of address." Eldest daughter-in-law Vivianne reminded with a smile.

The tone of voice sounds like a good relationship with Kate.

At least it didn't come across as too respectful, but rather with a joking tone.

"You see, I'm confused in this one happy." Kate slapped her forehead and turned to one of the servants here and said, "Wu Ma, help us bring the prepared tea, to Third Master and Third Miss."

"Yes, ma'am." The maid was respectful.

Said.

Two maids, then, came over with a tray, carrying two cups of tea, and approached Ella and Eden respectively.

Eden takes Ella's hand and the two kneel together.

Titus and Kate are clearly in a good mood.

Both wore kind smiles.

Ella took the tea handed over by the maid and brought it to Kate first, "Mom, please have some tea."

Kate couldn't stop smiling when she heard Ella call her "mom" and quickly accepted the tea.

Ella handed Titus another cup of tea, "Dad, please have some tea."

"Good boy." Titus said "good boy" three times in a row, and was naturally in a good mood.

Eden was just beside herself, her mouth tinged with, well, obvious amusement.

Titus and Kate finished their tea and hurriedly took out the red packet from inside their clothes, "A little token of appreciation from mom and dad, Ella take it."

"Thanks Dad, thanks Mom." Ella took it politely.

It's an America tradition.

Early in the morning of the second day after the new daughter-in-law enters the house, she is required to offer tea to her parents, who will prepare a red envelope for the new daughter-in-law.

However that year.

Ivan and Lillian, on the other hand, play it straight and don't have any red envelopes for her at all.

Ella, from start to finish, didn't ask.

Let's pretend that ...... didn't know about this traditional custom.

"Dad, Mom, please have some tea." Eden was serving her share of teacups at the moment, handing them to Eden and Kate.

After the two men had finished drinking.

Another red packet was pulled out.

The red envelope was but handed to Ella again, "For Eden to keep."

"Mom." Eden was protesting.

"When you're married to your daughter-in-law, of course the money should be in her hands, ask your father if he has any money on him right now." Kate said in a serious manner.

Vivianne chimed in, "Dad has to take Mom with him when he leaves the house for breakfast."

Having said that.

The whole family laughed.

Just, cozy, family and fun.

Even Ella could feel that the family welcomed her.

It was really quite different from the way the Williams family had made her feel in the first place.
