Chapter 7 Right after I finished , Luke knocked on the door . Still perfectly calm , he said gently : " Since you're awake , get ready . We need to go have dinner at Mom's later . " Luke's parents were very open - minded and romantic people . Right after the wedding , they'd rushed off to travel the world . Their excuse was giving us space and time for our newlywed life together . So this afternoon , we were going to my parents ' house . I quickly freshened up and covered my dark circles before heading home with him . When Mom saw us arrive , she couldn't stop smiling . Especially watching Luke present gift after gift , her eyes crinkled into crescents . " You didn't need to bring so much ! We're family now - this is too formal ! " " It's nothing , really . It's what I should do . " Luke responded humbly . Every gift he'd brought was clearly expensive - anyone with taste could tell at a glance . Dad wanted to talk with him privately , so they went to the study while Mom pulled me into the kitchen . She glanced toward the door and said to me quietly : " Did Chase cause a scene at your place last night ? " " How did you know ? " I asked in surprise . " A friend of mine lives near your neighborhood . She came by this morning specifically to ask what happened . That heartless fool ! You live in a villa district surrounded by wealthy , important people . Everyone knew yesterday was your wedding day . When he made that racket , what must people think of you ? " The more Mom thought about it , the angrier she got - like she wanted to march over and beat him up herself . " What about Luke ? Did he say anything ? " I shook my head . " He didn't say anything . " Like a completely unbothered capybara that nothing could faze . Mom sighed helplessly . " Take it slow then . If he has any complaints , talk it through . Don't fight , and don't let that heartless fool ruin your marriage . " Just as she finished speaking , Mom's phone rang . 14-56 Who Needs a Divorce Lawyer When You OWN the Company ? Honey , You Are FIRED ! 26.89 % Chapter 7 Looking at the caller ID , it was actually Chase's mother . Mom had no patience for their whole family now , but after twenty - plus years of friendship , she couldn't just ignore the call . But when she answered , it wasn't his mother speaking - it was Chase himself . " Auntie , I'm so sorry to bother you at a time like this . I just wanted to ask if you could help me contact Quinn ? " Mom glanced at me and replied coldly : " Chase , if I remember correctly , you're married now . What could you possibly need with our Quinn ? " " Well ... I ... I need to talk to Quinn . Auntie , please , for my parents ' sake, could you help me out ? " Hearing this , Mom absolutely exploded : " Let me tell you something - if it weren't for your parents ' sake , I wouldn't have even answered this call ! My daughter is married now . If you have any decency left , stop bothering her , or don't blame me for not being polite ! " After dropping that harsh warning , Mom angrily hung up . Watching her defend me like that , I felt a warm flutter in my chest . I thought Chase was someone who cared about saving face - after being scolded like that , he'd never dare show up again . But during dinner that evening , he actually had the audacity to come banging on our door . When Mom wouldn't let him in , he shouted from outside : " Quinn , I know you're in there ! If you won't come out to see me , I'll wait right here until you do ! "
