Not being able to see him for a month and having no way to communicate, she would probably miss him a lot.
“What’s wrong? You’re sighing again,” Lina looked at her daughter’s listless appearance and asked.
“Mom, I also want to go to Chandler’s hometown with him,”
Tina said.
“What?” Lina was surprised, “Did Chandler invite you?”
“No, Chandler himself is going back, but this time he’ll be gone for a month. You know, once he’s back in his hometown, we can’t even call him, let alone video chat!” Tina said, “I mean, I’m his fiancée, it’s only right that I accompany him on a trip to his hometown.”
Tina had met some of Hunter’s elders before. On her 15th birthday, Hunter gave her many valuable gifts, and many of Hunter’s elders attended her birthday banquet.
Those valuable gifts, even though Tina had seen many precious things from childhood to adulthood, still made her unable to help but marvel.
Especially Hunter, who gave her a 15-carat Burmese ruby necklace, which is priceless!
But it also shows how much Hunter values her!
At 15 years old, it is the age of a girl’s coming of age, which means that after this, she can get married!
Due to current laws, women must be at least 18 years old to get married. Therefore, her 15th birthday party was more like an engagement party between her and Chandler.
“Hunter is very mysterious. If they didn’t invite you, don’t think too much about it. Chandler will bring you there in the future,” Lina said.
“Mom, why did Chandler want me to marry him in the future?” Tina asked. “Do you know the reason?
Chandler always said he would tell me the reason later.”
“I know almost the same as you,” Lina said. “Your father made a promise with Chandler to save me.
Later, your father spent a lot of effort investigating Hunter, but all the information he could find was superficial. Hunter is very mysterious. When your father sent someone to investigate Hunter’s family,
Hunter found out and almost didn’t let them come back. The relationship between the two families almost broke down.”
Lina still shudders when she thinks about that time.
“What happened? Mom, please tell me!” Tina suddenly became interested. This was something she had never known before!
Lina sighed. Now that her daughter was grown up, she could tell her some things.
“At that time, your father tried to investigate Hunter but couldn’t find any useful information. So he wanted to go to Hunter’s family to investigate, but Hunter is from the Crypt families, and the location of their family is unknown to the public. It took a lot of effort to find out where Hunter was.”
After that, Hadwin sent his men to Hunter.
The man he sent was a former mercenary, and his skills were top-notch. He also brought a small team with him.
With this kind of force, they could even infiltrate a secret location.
However, these people were all captured within 15 minutes of entering Hunter’s family.
According to Hunter’s original plan, these people were supposed to disappear without a trace. But
Chandler happened to be there that day and recognized one of them as Hadwin’s right-hand man. He knew that these people were from the Stephenson family, so he spoke up to save them.
Of course, it wasn’t as simple as just saying a few words. Hunter made Hadwin sign a document promising not to investigate
Hunter anymore. In addition, except for Tina, who would marry Chandler in the future, no one from the
Stephenson family could ever step into Hunter’s family again!
For Hadwin, such a request was equivalent to an insult.
His daughter was going to marry into the Hunter family, and he couldn’t even go to their house to visit.
What kind of situation was this?
At the time, Hadwin almost called off the wedding and even considered sending someone to rescue the person from the Hunter family and confront them directly.
Tina was surprised to hear her mother recounting this past event.
“What happened afterwards?” she asked curiously.
“Afterwards…” Lina shrugged. “I don’t know.”
“What? Mom, how could you not know?” Tina widened her eyes.
“I really don’t know,” Lina said. “Later, Chandler and your father had a private conversation in the study.
I didn’t hear what they talked about, and when I asked your father afterwards, he didn’t say anything, just expressed his trust in Chandler!”
“Did Dad sign the agreement in the end?” Tina asked.
“I’m not sure, but Hunter did return your father’s men. After that, your father didn’t inquire about
Hunter’s affairs anymore, nor did he send anyone to the Hunter family again,” Lina said.
Tina listened to the unfamiliar story and felt a strange sense of novelty and unreality.
It felt like she was listening to a story.
Was it because Hunter was too mysterious?
The Hunter family… it was like a forbidden place that couldn’t be entered. Once you stepped in, you didn’t know what would happen.
“After Chandler and I get married, can I go to the Hunter family?” Tina asked again.
“Well, that’s what he said back then,” Lina said.
Just then, a voice sounded, “What are you talking about?”
The mother and daughter turned around, and it was Hadwin who had come back!
“We’re talking about Dad sending someone to Hunter’s house back then,” Tina said bluntly.
Hadwin raised an eyebrow and looked at his wife, “Did you tell Tina?”
“The child is 20 years old now and at the age to get married. There are some things that I think she should know,” Lina said.
“Dad, what did Chandler say to you alone back then, and did Hunter sign the agreement in the end?”
Tina was curious now!
“Let Chandler tell you later,” Hadwin obviously had no intention of telling his daughter.
“Can’t you just tell me?” Tina looked at her father with wide eyes.
“Back then, I just believed what he said, so there are some things that he should tell you,” Hadwin insisted!
Tina looked disappointed, but she also understood that once her father made a decision, she wouldn’t get any answers by asking more questions.
However, today’s conversation with her mother did give her some insight.
At least one thing is certain, Hunter’s family doesn’t plan on keeping her out!
She will be Chandler’s wife in the future, so she can enter Hunter’s family!
After her mother’s words today, Hunter’s mystery became even more apparent to her.
Even though she had known Chandler for so many years, he rarely talked about their family matters.
Even when he did mention them occasionally, it was always about something trivial.
Does she really have to wait until she marries Chandler before she can go to their family’s place?
Will there be any problems if we go there early?
Several days passed, but Tina still hadn’t come to a conclusion.
However, she casually mentioned to Chandler, “Chandler, can I go with you to your family’s home this time?”
“No!” He refused without even considering it.
“Why not? Didn’t you say that I can enter your family’s home after we get married? It’s just going there carly.”
He stared at her and said, “No means no. Absolutely not before we get married!”
“What’s in your family’s home that I can’t enter?” She was confused.
But he didn’t seem to want to explain and just patted her head in a soothing manner, like he was calming down an angry kitten. “Be good. I’ll bring you a gift later. Besides, there’s nothing interesting in my family’s home. There are a lot of rules, and it’s very boring.”
Tina pursed her lips. Did he really see her as a child?
Didn’t he say he loved her? But at this moment, she felt like she would always be a child in his eyes.
Is an eight-year age difference really that big?
After leaving Chandler, Tina suddenly received a call from photographer Zabulon.
Tina thought Zabulon was going to talk to her about the COS photos they took last time, but he called for something else.
“Tina, do you want to collaborate with Kit?” Zabulon asked.
“Collaborate?” Tina was confused.
“Yes, last time you and Kit took some photos on the fly. Although they weren’t selected in the end, they were highly regarded over there. They want to invite you and Kit to take a set of photos separately, which will be published in the magazine. You can consider it, but the time is tight. You need to give me an answer tomorrow,” Zabulon said.
“When will the shoot be? How long will it take?” Tina asked. She needed to make sure the shooting time wouldn’t conflict with her classes.
“The shoot will be next weekend, for about 8 hours a day,” Zabulon replied.
“Okay,” Tina replied.
There was nothing to consider. She was already a fan of Kit, and taking photos with her idol… well, that was something many fans would want to do.
“But Zabulon, can I bring Eugenia with me that day?” Tina asked. Eugenia was a crazy fan of Kit!
“Then let her go in as your assistant. I’ll give you two passes,” Zabulon said.
“Thank you, Zabulon!” Tina said.
