Chris thought that Mariam suddenly wanted to invite him to her house for dinner.
Thinking of finding an excuse to decline, Mariam waited for him to speak and hurriedly said: "It happens to be Saturday tomorrow, Stella will not go to work. She can help me at home and make more dishes."
Timothy on the hospital bed also spoke in agreement: "Yeah, Mr. Chris, come home to have a meal, just take it as an act of thank you from us."
However, Timothy is far from knowing that Chris had actually been to his house earlier.
Seeing that both Mariam and Timothy said so, Chris was somewhat embarrassed.
He didn't really want to agree to the meal, but he felt it was difficult to refuse at their face.
Just when he was a little bit hard to get off the topic, Stella hurriedly said: "Mom, I have something to do tomorrow. The company has to work overtime, some other day?"
"Ah? You will work overtime tomorrow?" Mariam was very dissatisfied and said, "Why do I have to work overtime on weekends?"
In fact, Stella didn't really want to work overtime, but she saw that her parents might have a good impression of Chris, and guessed that her parents might want to take advantage of the opportunity to invite Chris to dinner to learn more about him.
Therefore, she also guessed that her parents must not know that Chris is now married, otherwise, they would certainly not be so direct.
So, she planned to postpone the matter of inviting Chris to eat at home, and then clarify the words with her parents. Even if Chris's true identity cannot be told to them, at least she must let them know that Chris already has a wife. As her husband, let them stop thinking about it.
Thinking of this, she said very seriously: "Mom, I really have something to do tomorrow, not only tomorrow but also a lot of things the day after tomorrow. It is really busy lately, or let's not make an appointment this week, next week Look at the time, we will see about it again?"
Mariam heard what she said, and knew there was no way to continue. What she wanted was Chris to come to the house to have dinner with their family of 3, but if her daughter had something to do, she and her husband invited Chris to eat at home, more or less It's also strange.
So she had no choice but to say: "Well, then I will not ask Mr. Chris to come to eat at home this week. Next week, depending on your work situation, let's make an early decision and try to invite Mr. Chris to come home for dinner. "
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chris again, and said with an apologetic expression: "Mr. Chris, I'm so sorry, so let's make an appointment next week. What do you think?"
Chris nodded and said with a smile: "Auntie, I can do it."
Mariam hurriedly said to Stella again: "Stella, you won't be allowed to work overtime on weekends next week!"
Stella said embarrassingly: "I don't have the final say whether to work overtime or not. If there is really something important for me to do this week, I can't just leave it behind!"
Mariam said with some dissatisfaction: "You are too hard every day, why does your boss arrange so much work for you? Isn't this squeezing employees?"
When Chris heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he is the boss who squeezed employees in Mariam's words.
Chris said at this time: "Uncle and Aunt, it's getting late, I won't bother you much."
Mariam knew that she was wasting a lot of time for Chris, and hurriedly said, "Okay Mr. Chris, Auntie will let you go, and let Stella send you to the parking lot."
Chris smiled and said, "No need Auntie, I can just go by myself."
Stella hurriedly said: "Chris, or… I will send you off!"
Chris waved his hand: "After Stella, you don't send me off. Stay here to accompany my uncle and aunt. In addition, if the uncle is going to be discharged tonight, you have to hurry up and finish the discharge procedures. "
Hearing this, Stella did not insist anymore.
She was very grateful and said to Chris: "Thank you so much for what happened today…"
Chris waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, you can stay, I'm leaving."
