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 time spent 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.”
Granduncle forced himself to calm down. He furrowed his brows and gave it a thought before raising
his head to tell Grandaunt, "This will be her first time visiting us. 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

"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 home to 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 home for us to meet.
The only time we 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 time the 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?
'Don't tell me that 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe servant nodded quickly. After Xavier gave her a stern look, the servant quickly took out her cell
phone and called the doctor.
Daniel came over and asked, "What happened?"
"I-I, I don't know. He just told me to 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 became cold.
"Oh, you still hear sounds around you? And you're asking me if 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.
