Even if Jeffrey had been quite the ladies’ man in the past, Karen really wanted to give him a chance.

"Your dad's worried he's not reliable! With that face of his..." Serena sighed heavily, "Being handsome and rich, do you think he's going to settle down with you?" "Mom, it's not like the ordinary ones would be any more likely to settle down if you only judge them by their looks and wealth.

Rather than that, | might as well choose someone easy on the eyes." She'd had her fair share of relationships with less attractive guys, and where did that get her? Only heartbreak.

If Jeffrey turned out to be a jerk, at least she'd have seen it coming and wouldn't be so blindsided.

"You sure about this?" "Yeah." Serena was torn for a moment before letting out another long sigh, "You two... have already gone this far, | won't say much more.

Just remember, don't get pregnant before you're married! Or else you'll be stuck with no way out.” Karen felt extremely embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

She knew her parents must've overheard something when they came back.

How mortifying it was.

Jeffrey's parents arrived in no time, not only bringing the items he'd previously bought but also a collection of treasured gifts.

The array of gifts piled up in Karen's house like a small mountain, feeling completely out of place.

It was like Huxley and Paloma standing there in the room, all suited and booted, looking so formal and serious.

Jeffrey took the opportunity to pull Karen aside, eyes crinkling with a smile, "I've finally got you in the palm of my hand.” "My parents haven't agreed yet." "You're already mine. They can't say no." He said, casually draping his arm over Karen's shoulder.

Karen quickly brushed him off, signaling him not to act like a rogue in front of her parents.

Her parents were still going through the motions, but the Turner family seemed genuinely earnest. It wasn't just about the lavish gifts. They never spoke down to Derek and Serena or acted superior. Instead, they kept praising Karen for being a great girl, saying their son was so lucky to have met her.

Watching the unfold, Karen felt like it was winding down and she could relax finally.

Jeffrey let out a sigh of relief, "If my parents hadn't shown up, | might not have gotten through to yours!" Karen looked at him and asked softly, "What if my parents just flat-out didn't agree to us being together?" Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, "You want the truth?" "Of course!" "I'd have to figure out a way to get you pregnant. Then they'd have to accept me as their son-in-law!" At that, Karen's brows furrowed in disapproval.

"Why do you only come up with rotten ideas?" He looked aggrieved, pursing his lips, "Why don't you believe me? I've never had to chase anyone before, and all these tactics are new to me — used only on you! You're just so tough to win over, what other choice do | have?" He did want to be a gentleman, but Karen wasn't just any girl! He'd already tried sweet-talking and had his share of cheeky moves, even earning a few slaps for his efforts. What else was he supposed to do? "Don't act like you're so hard done by. It's not like | asked you to chase after me." "Right, right, it's all my doing because | just want to whisk you home and find new ways to please you every day!" Karen pinched him hard at the waist, "Let's see if you've got the guts to repeat that to my parents."
