Trial Marriage Husband: My Bed’s Broken! - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Meeting the Parents

“Let’s go to my house to make some preparations!” Tang Yu brought Tang Ye to Carlisle’s home.

Little did Tang Ye know that her sister lived in a top-class mansion!

“Wow, brother-in-law is too amazing! He actually bought a mansion for you! He is really good to you…”

Miles had not actually bought this house for her, but she didn’t know how to explain her relationship with Carlisle at that moment. Would a normal friend have just given her a mansion for free?

She simply said to Tang Ye, “It’s actually rented. My husband hasn’t been around recently. I’ll introduce you to him when he comes back.”

Tang Ye told her about Michael’s family situation in detail. With her sister’s intelligence and talent, it was easy for her to remember these things.

“Michael had a younger brother named Mikeal Hawk. Everyone just calls him Mike. He is currently in his first year of high school this year. He also has a younger sister named Margaret, who’s known as Mary. She’s in her third year of high school as well.

“His father is tall, strong and strict. His grandmother is a shrewd old lady, and his stepmother is suspicious by nature. His mother had passed away a long time ago, before his stepmother gave birth to Mike and Mary.”

“Mikeal… Hawk… The name was oddly familiar to her. She thought about it before coming to a realization. He was a student in her class! She had to be careful when she interacted with him in the future. She could not risk being discovered by him.

Tang Yu briefed her on her situation at school. Tang Ye was also quite good at French, so it would not be a problem for her to take her place occasionally.

“Michael asked me to go to his house tonight.” Tang Ye was very happy as she sent the time and place to his sister. At that moment, she was comfortably curled up on the sofa watching television. She had naturally started treating this place as her own home.

“Me?” Tang Yu looked at her in confusion.

“Of course it’s you! Everyone in his family is very shrewd. They’ll easily be able to tell whether I’m pregnant or not. If I go, it’ll be easy for them to expose me.”

Looking at Tang Ye’s expression, Tang Yu suddenly realized that she had been tricked. Her sister had actually given her such a difficult task. “Can’t they tell that I’m different from you?”

“If even Michael couldn’t notice it, then the others can’t either. You just have to remember to be cold and aloof,” her sister said as she smiled cheekily.

That night, Michael came to pick up Tang Yu. She entered the Hawk family mansion in a perturbed mood. The building was a large and luxurious classical manor, and it matched the solemn architecture of an ancient castle.

The shadows of the trees swayed as the cries of owls echoed through the woods.

A cold and gloomy aura filled the surroundings, that would’ve made anyone depressed.

“Xiao Ye, be careful.” Michael carefully supported her. He slightly hunched his back, looking nervous.

Tang Yu secretly laughed in her heart. She did not expect Michael to be this considerate and attentive.

They walked all the way into the main door and up the spiral staircase in the hall before walking through a long corridor on the second floor. It was a while before they arrived at the deepest room at the end of the hall. They did not meet anyone along the way. Only the warm yellow candlelight on the wall quivered slightly, occasionally producing the sound of electricity.

The door slowly opened, revealing an exquisitely dressed old lady sitting on the european-style sofa in the guest seat, awaiting their arrival.

“Grandma.”

The old lady gave a polite smile. “Sit down and have some water.”

Michael and Tang Yu sat down obediently. The old lady sized her up, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the girl’s appearance.

Not long after, Michael’s father and stepmother arrived as well.

Michael stood up as he solemnly addressed his family. “Father, I want to marry Tang Ye.”

Mrs. Hawk’s narrow and phoenix-like eyes stared at Tang Yu, making her feel uncomfortable. She raised her hand as a string of glittering gold jewelry on her wrist caught everyone’s attention.

She looked arrogant and contemptuous. It was obvious that she was not someone to be trifled with. She answered on behalf of Michael’s father, “You’re still young. It’s still too early to get married.”

“But I’m already 22 years old…” Michael looked at his father. “When father and mother got married, they were only 21.”

At the mention of his mother, Mrs. Hawk’s eyes flashed with a hint of discomfort, and her tone became even more contemptuous. “Your brother isn’t married yet. You can’t get married before him. Michael, you need to spend more time finding someone better.”

“Tang Ye is pregnant, so I have to be responsible for her. Grandma, you must really want to see your great-grandson soon, right?”

Grandma’s eyes seemed to flicker, but she did not say anything.

This was a good thing. It meant that his grandma was looking forward to this child. Michael struck while the iron was still hot. “You said that Big Brother must be married before I can fall in love freely. But I’ve already brought the woman I love! Please agree to our marriage.”

The corners of Mrs. Hawk’s mouth curled up into an ambiguous smile. “Michael, you know the situation of our family. It’s not that easy to enter this family. It’s even more impossible to cheat a marriage through pregnancy. Miss Tang, whose child is it really in your belly? She probably got pregnant outside just to marry you!”
