Chapter 312 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

She couldn’t fathom what kind of charm this young girl possessed to make Chasel so smitten!

The most popular hunk in the whole Ministry of State Security had finally fallen for a young girl, which left her baffled.

She had witnessed Chasel showering the girl with gifts today, truckloads of them!

When Chasel got out of the car, he even opened the door for her, gently playing with her hair. All she could do was watch with envy at their intimate gestures.

Even Serena had rushed over from school just to see her “sister–in–law.”

They all seemed like one big happy family, and here she was.

“Are you talking about Bella?” Chasel reacted, finding it amusing yet a bit helpless, sensing a big misunderstanding here.

Bella! They even had such a cozy nickname for her! That really got her goat!

“What do you even like about her?” Myrna’s eyes welled up with tears.

Had Mirabella not been there, she might have already burst into tears.

“Let’s go inside and tend to your wounds first.” Chasel thought it was a long story, and the most pressing matter was to treat Myrna’s injuries.

“You always say we’re not a match due to our status and age difference. What about her? Is she a good match?”

Mirabella, seemingly predicting what she was about to say, cut her off: “Sis, you’ve got it all wrong. He’s my brother.” After explaining, Mirabella pointed at the man next to her and said, “And this is my fiance, Romeo.”

“Nice to meet you.” Romeo greeted her politely.

Myrna was momentarily stunned, looking again at Chasel.

Chasel explained with a hint of helplessness, “She really is my sister, we only found her recently.”

Myrna was taken aback: They were real siblings?

“Due to her youth and some family reasons, we haven’t announced it publicly yet.”

So, she had been clashing with Chasel’s real sister and even got her neck cut by her?

“Come in with me.” Fearing her refusal, Chasel took her hand and led her inside.

Myrna had no idea how she ended up on the Collins family’s doorstep or how she was getting treated with everyone watching. She had imagined coming home countless to meet Chasel’s parents, but never in such a scenario.

“Does it hurt? How did you get such a serious injury?” Louisa couldn’t help but ask with concern.

“Should we get a doctor?” Kenneth suggested, then suddenly remembered something: “Oh right, Bella, check on your brother’s girlfriend!”

Upon hearing “girlfriend, Chasel’s hand slipped, causing Myrna to gasp from the pain.

“Stop being a klutz and hurting her! Let your sister do it!” Louisa said anxiously.

“Chasel, let me handle this.” Mirabella took the cotton swab, disinfected the wound skillfully, and then bandaged it up. “Done. Just be careful not to get it wet.” Who would’ve thought Myrna was going to be her future sister–in–law? Mirabella felt she might have gone a bit too far.

Myrna sat on the sofa in the living room, feeling incredibly awkward being the center of attention for the Collins family. She had never imagined her first appearance here would be this disastrous and embarrassing.

“Sweetheart, you haven’t told us your name yet? When did you and Chasel start dating?” Louisa couldn’t contain her excitement. Out of all her sons, one finally had a girlfriend!

“Chasel has never brought a girl home before, you’re the first!” Kenneth said it with a warm smile. “Hey, someone get the coffee on! Bella, can someone who’s hurt drink coffee?”

“A little should be fine,” Mirabella replied.

“Good, Edith, bring out the best coffee beans in the house! Bella gave the okay, so no worries.”

Myma felt a bit awkward. “Really, there’s no need. I was just passing by.”

No one would believe her now if she said she was just passing by.

“Chasel’s first love, and he didn’t even know to pick you up, he made you come by yourself.” Louisa said this with a reproachful look at Chasel. What a blockhead! Didn’t he know how to treat a girl gently?

Just as Chasel was about to say something, Louisa asked, “How did you get this injury?”

Late at night, a beautiful girl, with a sudden wound around her neck.

“The road was too dark. I tripped and scratched myself a rock.” Myrna took all the blame, not wanting Mirabella to be scolded.

“How could a rock cause this kind of injury? Was it one of the rocks on our doorstep? Someone, go outside and check. Throw away all the rocks that could potentially hurt people!”

Louisa sighed. “This girl just came to visit, and she got hurt. What would her parents think?”

“Mom, actually, this happened because.” Mirabella wanted to say it was because of her.

Myrna immediately interrupted her, saying, “You’re Bella, right? I’m Myrna, nice to meet you.”

The name Myma surprised Kenneth and Louisa.

What did they just hear? Myma?

Louisa was shocked for a while before asking incredulously, “Your father is Aaron?”

“Yes, but I don’t really know him.” Myrna tried to keep her composure, worried that Kenneth and Louisa would reject her like Chasel did after knowing her identity. She didn’t know her own father well? Who was she trying to fool?

Mirabella didn’t know who Myrna was until Romeo whispered that she was the Prime Minister’s daughter, and, then it all clicked for Mirabella.

That’s why Myrna said earlier that Chasel didn’t agree to be with her because of his status.

So that’s it!

“You sneaky little devil, you’ve got a girlfriend on the sly, and she is.” Kenneth didn’t finish his sentence, he was just pondering how to explain her getting hurt so soon after his arrival.

“Myrna, here’s your coffee.” The servant brought the coffee to Myrna.

Louisa took it over and handed it to Myrna personally: “Myrna, have a sip of coffee first.”

Thank you, but there’s no need, I can take it.” Myrna found the Collins family to be overly enthusiastic.

“You’re new here, you might not be familiar with the place. After your coffee, I’ll have Chasel show you around.”

“Dad, Myrna, and I.” Chasel wanted to say, Myrna and he were not what she thought.

But Kenneth interrupted him with a laugh, saying, “What are you waiting for? Go on.

It seemed like Myrna really liked him. Chasel was indeed lucky to have such a pretty and sweet girl fond of him.

Chasel wanted to explain further, but Myrna had already taken his arm.

There was no way he could explain now.

“Your family is very warm and friendly.” Myrna said she was pleased to be arm in arm with him as they headed upstairs.

Chasel glanced at her neck, his eyes flashing a hint of tendemess. “Still hurting?”

“No pain anymore.” Myrna tried to shake her head to indicate she was fine, but the movement tugged at the wound, causing a flash of pain in her eyes. “And yet you say it doesn’t hurt?” Chasel looked at her a bit reproachfully and said, “Be more careful with your movements.”

Myrna: “Okay.”

Chasel: “Why didn’t you call me before you came?”

“I heard you brought a girlfriend home. So I came to check.” Myrna lowered her head as she spoke, not expecting it to be a misunderstanding in the end. Upon hearing this, Chasel realized she came to scope out the situation.

Who the hell spread this news? And why was it so inaccurate? Looking at this girl with head down, seeming to know she messed up but still looking adorable.

“Is this your room? So clean, so tidy!” Myrna didn’t expect this man’s room to reflect his personality: disciplined, low–key, but tasteful.

“Yep.” Chasel showed her around and said, “Next time, just ask me directly. Don’t be a dingbat waiting outside, did any mosquitoes bite you?”

“What? No.” Myrna was surprised. Was he being considerate?

Chasel: “Did you come in the afternoon?”

“Yes!” Myrna nodded. “I saw you bought a lot of stuff and I thought it was for your girlfriend.”

Chasel: “So you got jealous?”

“Just a tiny bit.” Myrna gestured with her fingers.

Chasel couldn’t help but chuckle.

Myrna: “How about that? I’m pretty awesome, right? I’ve been tailing you for so long, and you didn’t even notice. That says your counter–surveillance abilities are no good!”

“What do you mean ‘no good‘?” Chasel suddenly leaned in closer to her, scrutinizing her up close. “What did you just say? In what way am I ‘no good“?”

Myrna’s face turned red, she suspected he was teasing her but didn’t have enough proof!

Chasel pulled out his phone, ordering the kitchen staff to prepare some food. She must be hungry after waiting since the afternoon.

“Chasel, I like you; let’s date!” Myrna suddenly hugged him from behind, greedily inhaling his scent. “If you care about my background, I can leave my family and be with you as an ordinary person. I’m willing to do anything for you!”

For this, she not only underwent the strictest training but also climbed from the bottom of the Ministry of State Security to the position of Deputy Minister. Myrna said, “I’ve liked you for so many years, can you give me a chance?”

Chasel turned his head and stroked her hair. His gaze and voice were unprecedentedly gentle. Then promise me, you can’t let yourself get hurt anymore, okay?” Myrna froze. Did she hear right? Did Chasel agree? Did he really just agree?

Chasel: “Got it?”

“Got it!!!” Myrna hugged him joyfully and said, “Chasel, you agreed! You finally agreed! After four years! You bloody bastard finally agreed.”

She’d really been waiting too long!

“You’re that happy?”

“I’m super happy! Really super happy! I feel even better than winning the lottery!” Myrna’s eyes were a bit red, and she clung tightly to the man in front of her, saying, “After all the hardships, I finally have you. I want to hold you a bit longer.”

“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” Chasel gently patted her head and said, “Let’s go downstairs to eat something first.”
