Chapter 126
Chapter 126 But You? You Can’t Even Get Aunt Bea
"An aunt? What aunt?" Blanche asked as he stood next to Granduncle, pursing his lips cluelessly.
Both Granduncle and Grandaunt's eyes lit up in an instant.
Did the blockhead finally open up? Did he finally get together with a girl he liked and was going to bring her back to meet everyone?
Tears of joy filled their eyes as the old couple looked at each other. It was as if all the hardships they had endured over the past few years were finally released. They were relieved. Their son was finally becoming a good man.
After a few years in prison, it seemed that the tspent was not in vain.
In the beginning, Granduncle had forced Blanche to make that call. He even whispered for Blanche to turn on the loudspeaker so that he could hear it too. Therefore, Blanche followed the orders and turned on the loudspeaker.
As soon as the loudspeaker was turned on, Uncle Xavier said, "Don’t worry, she’s a beautiful aunt. You’ll definitely like her."
When the old couple heard how nice his son was being about the girl and even described her as beautiful, they knew that their son had probably fallen in love with her for him to think so highly of her.
"Okay, Uncle Xavier. We’ll be waiting for you and the beautiful aunt." Blanche hung up the phone like a good boy.
After the call was ended, Grandaunt asked excitedly, "Sh-Should I p- prepare anything?"
"Of course.”

We must give her a good impression. Hurry, look for something good that we can give her. If you can’t find anything, we’ll give her an expensive gift card.”
"I'll go and find it." Grandaunt turned to go upstairs.
Granduncle stopped her again. "Wait, wait."
Grandaunt stopped in her steps.
"Remember, you can’t complain about the girl’s background, her looks, or her personality, okay?" Granduncle was afraid that his wife would be displeased and mess up this chance for his son.
"As long as it's a girl who breathes, I won’t complain." Grandaunt smiled and hurried upstairs.
Daniel never cared about what Xavier's partner should look like since his son had always been very picky about his women. Before he went to jail, Louis and he were known to sleep with plenty of young movie stars.
Daniel had tried educating his son about his irresponsible behavior. However, it did not go through him and he ended up sending his son to prison.
Until that day, he could only condemn his son's past secretly.
In less than ten minutes, everyone in the Tanner's manor knew about the news of Xavier bringing his girlfriend back for everyone to meet.
All the adults in the Tanner family had watched Xavier grow up. They had always felt sad for the kid, so when they found out about Daniel's luck changing, all of them were happy for him.
Grandaunt quickly got ready.
All of the older family members had a few pieces of commemorative jewelry on them, but most of them were antiques. They were worried that it would not be of a young girl's taste.
Six years ago, Xavier brought back a diamond necklace from abroad. It was very beautiful. Even though Grandaunt was old, she was still a woman. She loved it very much, but the style was more suited for a younger person.
Therefore, Grandaunt never wore it. She was worried about what others would think of her. When she received it from her son, she even joked with her son. "When you marry a wife in the future, I’ll give it to her.”
That was why Grandaunt found the necklace and planned to give it to her.
The female relatives beside Grandaunt held her hand and said, "This is the end of your hardship. Xavier's bringing a girl hto introduce to everyone. It must mean that it's serious this time.”
Grandaunt was almost moved to tears. 'Yeah, my Xavier has never brought a girl hfor us to meet. The only twe ever see them is in the tabloids."
This time, I'm sure she'll be your daughter-in-law." The female relative patted Grandaunt's hand. "Time to wait for their wedding! Who knows, maybe the girl is already pregnant with Xavier’s child and you'll get to hug your grandson by next year!"
Grandaunt thought of the possibility of it happening and smiled widely.
Everyone in the manor waited for more than 20 minutes.
Every minute and every second was torturous for the old couple. They wanted to see their future daughter-in-law as soon as possible.
Just when everyone was kept on their toes, the Porsche Cayenne finally drove toward the manor. However, the Cayenne reached the place faster than expected. By the tthe gate opened, the car did not bother driving into the parking spots. Instead, it arrived in front of the main entrance.
The two servants who were coming out of the living room on the ground floor of the manor were shocked. They were almost hit by the car and hurriedly ran aside in a panic.
Daniel and his wife also had a big shock.
'What's going on?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Don't tellthat there's been an accident!’
Xavier got out of the car and opened the back seat door with agility. His suit jacket carefully covered the woman's face as he carried her out of the car. Everyone in the courtyard could only see the woman's long black hair and her two long pale legs.
"Get a doctor to my room." Xavier shouted at the frightened servant.
The servant nodded quickly. After Xavier gave her a stern look, the servant quickly took out her cell phone and called the doctor.
Daniel cover and asked, "What happened?"
"I-I, I don't know. He just toldto call the doctor and get the doctor to his room," the servant who had not recovered from the shock said.
Grandaunt tried to calm Granduncle down. "Don't worry, I'll go up and see what's going on."
Granduncle nodded but did not follow. The father and son had never gotten along. He was worried that they might start quarreling.
Everyone waited for Grandaunt to go up and see what was the deal so that she could report to everyone else downstairs.
A discussion started in the distance.
A young girl who looked like a high schooler said happily, "Hehe. Xavier has good taste. Even though he covered her face with his suit jacket, I could still see her. My future sister-in-law wears very simple and comfortable clothes. She’s completely different from the disaster of a woman I imagined."
Another young girl agreed and said, "Of course, Xavier’s very picky when he’s serious. He knows what kind of girl is suitable to be a wife. Alas, I hope that Xavier will always be as concerned for her even after they get married and not let her down."
Blanche had a glass of juice in his hand. He finished the drink and slammed it on the table which made a loud noise.
"Have you gone mad?" Luke's calm gaze suddenly beccold.
"Oh, you still hear sounds around you? And you're askingif I've gone mad?!” Blanche talked like a little adult as he lectured Daddy. "Well, I'm bitter. Uncle Xavier has gotten one, but you? You can't even get Aunt Bea. I hope I got less of your genes, or else I'll grow up to be an almost 30-year- old man who can't get a wife."
Luke pretended he did not hear it. Instead, his mind drifted off to the image of Bianca's light pink lips and her natural, feminine face. Soon, he felt all his toughness melting. However, he quickly furrowed his brows and suppressed his feelings of yearning and longing.
