As soon as the woman came closer and stood in front of them, Christopher realized that she had an ordinary look. Her make-up was quite light and she had a kindly expression as she smiled. Meanwhile, she looked at Maryse with a face full of delight. This was Samantha’s aunt—Janice. She immediately reminisced about old times with Maryse as soon as she came toward them. Midway into her conversation, she also occasionally stopped her sentence to praise Samantha for being so good-looking. The latter, on the other hand, couldn’t control herself and revealed an abashed look, which attracted the attention of a lot of people. Christopher noticed the crowd and he responded by directly pulling her closer to him and moving closer to her as he spoke. Meanwhile, the crowd’s eyes blazed red out of anger and most of them were quite tempted to leap forward and teach Christopher a lesson. After quite some time, Christopher lightly pinched Samantha’s tiny hands to signal to her. Subsequently, she gave a slight nod of her head before walking toward Janice. “Aunt Janice, I’ve got a present for you.” As soon as Simon heard her words, he couldn’t help sneering. The Townsends usually buy us quite shabby gifts. However, not long after that, he noticed Christopher by the side and his eyes lit up all of a sudden. This is great! Simon rubbed his hands together gleefully and smiled as he waited expectantly. Just then, Samantha smiled shyly and opened up a dainty little yellow box to reveal the golden watch nestled in there to everyone. “It’s a Patek Philippe piece! This design is worth at least eight million dollars!” Someone exclaimed by the side. “I wished I owned this too! It’s too bad that I’m not rich enough!” “Yeah. I’m so envious! I can’t believe that someone would willingly give this luxurious watch to that upstart!” The crowd gossiped amongst themselves while their sparkling eyes were fixated on that Patek Philippe. Their faces were full of wondrous amazement; everyone couldn’t help but wish that they could rush forward and grab the watch. Simon naturally heard the conversation next to him and just then, he paused to recollect himself while his body quivered uncontrollably in excitement. Gosh! It’s a Patek Phillipe! That’s a luxury watch! Well, he could in fact buy that for himself too, but that was provided that he forsake buying a car or a property. By then though, he would have to resort to begging on the streets. In other words, he couldn’t actually afford it for the time being. Simon’s mouth curved up slightly and he gazed at the watch with narrowed eyes. As long as Janice accepts the gift, then it will be mine! Ha! This wedding is providing me with so much benefit indeed! At the same time, Simon behaved even more respectfully toward Christopher. He’s a rich man! I must treat him nicely and polish his shoes regardless of the consequences! The crowd focused their envious gazes on Christopher and they looked at him as if there was a gold mine in front of them. This must be the only explanation of how Samantha was able to come up with so much money as she was normally quite poor. Meanwhile, Janice was taken aback by the stares of the crowd. She glanced at Christopher, who was standing by the side, and then it suddenly dawned upon her and she glanced at Samantha subsequently. She nodded her head immediately after that. “Samantha, thanks for the gift from you and your boyfriend, but I don’t like such formalities. This is too posh for me so it’s not that suitable for me.” Janice smiled in response and gently pushed the luxurious Patek Phillipe watch to the side while she shook her head. As soon as Samantha heard that, she was momentarily stunned. Next, she turned to look at Christopher pleadingly. There was an anxious expression on her face as she really had no idea how to handle such a situation. Just then, Christopher walked toward them as soon as he noticed that and he picked up the watch. Then, he turned to Janice and said, “Hi, Mrs. Reynolds. Samantha’s a grateful child and she knows that you’ve been taking care of her and Mrs. Townsend for all this while, so it was my idea to buy you a watch to express our gratitude. Samantha and I would feel quite bad about it if you rejected our gift.” As soon as Janice heard that, she paused for a split second. This is unexpected. Samantha’s boyfriend is quite well-versed. Under such circumstances, it would indeed look quite inappropriate to reject their gift. “Alright, then. I’ll accept this watch for the time being but if someday Samantha needs this then I will have no qualms about giving it to her right away. Besides, I must say that Samantha’s found a good boyfriend indeed.” She smiled and gently accepted the gift box from Samantha’s hands. Then, she looked at Christopher and nodded approvingly at him.Samantha blushed as red as a tomato in response to Janice’s words. Just then, the expression on the former’s face was quite attractive; one who saw her couldn’t help being tempted to take a bite. As for Christopher, he reacted quite naturally to Janice’s words and nodded immediately. In his mind, he was quite confident that he was Samantha’s perfect partner. “Oh—by the way, Simon, you probably wouldn’t think that this watch is good enough for you because you’re quite wealthy after all. I hope that this watch will have a permanent position on Mrs. Reynolds’ wrist.” Suddenly, something came to Christopher’s mind and he revealed a quick smile before turning around to mention this casually to Simon. Simon grimaced upon hearing his words and groaned in his heart. I should have treated Samantha and Maryse better in the past! If I did so, then this watch would have been mine! “Of course! This is your gift to Janice so I definitely won’t take possession of it!” Simon came up with a forceful smile. In actual fact, he was grimacing in his heart while he mentioned this quite resignedly. Pleased with his response, Christopher nodded his head then calmly swept his eyes across the room. He backed down after noticing that most of the people around lowered their heads and kept to themselves.His main point of coming along today was to protect Samantha and Mrs. Townsend. Regardless of the process, what mattered the most to him was that the outcome was according to his expectation. Obviously, he was fairly pleased with the current outcome. From then on, evidently, Christopher and Samantha were treated with the utmost respect. The crowd rushed forward to them in batches as the former fawned over the latter. Meanwhile, the two of them had a hard time dealing with everything and they finally heaved a sigh of relief after Janice came forward to take control of things. Nevertheless, Christopher couldn’t quite leave the scene with Maryse still present. After the wedding ceremony had ended, Christopher hurriedly left with Samantha and Maryse. After all, he still found it quite hard to get used to the vibe. Meanwhile, Samantha covered her mouth with her hands and laughed gleefully at Christopher’s awkward expression. In response, he pretended to frown and then took the chance to pinch her on her sensitive spot. She blushed bright red due to his action and lost her gleeful look immediately. After Christopher had sent Samantha and Maryse safely back home, it was also about the same time as his usual time off from work. Without much to do, he took out his phone and entered the Thumbs-Up System once he got home.During the day, he had received the continuous sounds of increasing thumbs-ups in his brain, especially during noontime. It must have been because of the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup in the afternoon that attracted the attention of more people. “Ding! Congratulations to the Host. You are granted 10,000 Thumbs-Up points from the system as a reward for gaining 20,000 Thumbs-Up points from a single dish for the first time!”
