"Caroline, can I go in?" Carl knocked on the door, speaking softly to the people inside.

Caroline put on the high-heeled shoes she had secretly taken off again, and said to the door: "Come in."

"It's almost time to exchange engagement rings. I'll take you out." Carl looked at Caroline intently: "I still have to say it again, you are so beautiful today."

Seeing the embarrassing Caroline who didn't know what to do, Karl couldn't bear to tease her anymore.

Stretching out his arm, Carl took Caroline, and Caroline naturally took Carl's arm, and the two smiled at each other.

Walking out of the corridor, they were greeted by the staring eyes of the guests, who were all discussing in low voices.Caroline clung to Carl's arm tightly, so that she would not lose her composure due to the sudden tension.

The Edron family and the Hockley family sitting at the main table received everyone's blessings and compliments, and no one would mention Karl's ex-fiancee without winking.

The details of the engagement were not as complicated as those of the marriage. First, Tam went up and said a lot of blessings to the two couples, and at the end he did not forget to warn Karl to treat his daughter well.

Carl, who has been doubted by Yue's family one after another about his loyalty, feels that he is really innocent.

Fortunately, Mr. Hockley, the man's representative, came on stage soon and officially announced to everyone that Carl and Caroline were engaged, and the Edron family and the Hockley family would also be married.

And Mr. Hockley, who loves his son, couldn't help but promise that Carl would treat Caroline well, and then said in a kind voice: "Now, let's invite them to come on stage to exchange engagement rings."

Carl, who felt that he had been stabbed again by his father, silently put away his stabbed and riddled heart. Looking at Caroline who was secretly smiling beside him, Carl also felt that it was worth being stabbed, so he squeezed Her hand signaled that she was about to go on stage.

Caroline held back her smile, but the corners of her eyes were still a little watery. She and Carl walked towards Mr. Hockley step by step, and turned their heads to look at the stalwart man beside them. People who live a lifetime.

Witnessed by everyone, the two exchanged rings.

"Next, it's time for Carl and Caroline's opening dance." Old Hockley cleared his throat and said.

Caroline pursed her lips nervously. Although she had a solid foundation, it was the first time she danced in front of so many people. She was still a little nervous.

"Come on, Caroline, look at me." Carl saw Caroline's nervousness, and comforted in a low voice: "Relax, I have everything."

Caroline nodded, let go of her worries, and jumped up following Carl's pace. Fortunately, they were dancing a waltz. Caroline almost only had to move forward and backward, and Carl did all the turning.

When the dance was over, everyone applauded. Carl and Caroline said thank you and left the dance floor.

Caroline has almost finished all the preparations for the engagement banquet, and Karl is following his father to expand his contacts. As the woman, the relaxed Caroline and Chen Mile started chatting.

Banquets are always a good place to expand your network, and the engagement banquet is no exception. The men talk about economics and politics, while the women compliment each other and secretly sarcasm.

As the protagonist of today's engagement banquet, Caroline is naturally the one who will inevitably be mentioned.

"I heard that you will settle in New York after you get engaged?" A noble lady asked her kindly.

"This is Mrs. Vachel, and her husband also makes steel." Lilith whispered next to her daughter, and taught her all the relationships, which she would use in social interactions.

"Yes, Mrs. Wachel." Caroline smiled at Yan Yan: "Because Karl has some business here, plus." She sweetly glanced at Karl who was talking with others: "He also hates me to leave my parents too far."

Caroline, who has mastered the skill of showing affection, is becoming more and more shameless.

The noon banquet was over during the conversation, and Lilith made an appointment with Mrs. Hockley for the family dinner in the evening, and took her daughter home. "Caroline, see you tonight." Carl knew that she was going home to change clothes Reluctantly said goodbye to her, but fortunately there were only a few hours before the night, so he could still bear it.

Caroline collapsed on her own bed as soon as she got home. She was still wearing a dress, but Lilith drove her off and changed back into her loose clothes before she returned to her bed.

"It doesn't look like that at all. You will live with Karl in the future, so don't restrain yourself." Although the daughter is fine at home, when she comes to someone else's house, no matter what, she will not be as tolerant as her parents.

"He dares to despise me." Caroline groaned: "Then I regret the marriage!"

"Look at what you said." Lilith looked at Caroline helplessly: "Marriage is a matter between two families. Do you think it's as simple as you think?"

Seeing Lilith who became serious, Caroline immediately put on a playful smile: "Okay, Mom, I'm just joking." She stroked her flat stomach, and coquettishly said to her mother, "I'm hungry."

"It's so busy at noon, you must not have eaten much." Lilith called Sophia and asked her to prepare some afternoon tea: "You fill your stomach first, and you have to eat with Mr. and Mrs. Hockley in the evening. "

"Understood, I will behave well." Caroline, who was fed with delicious food, vowed.

The Hockley family booked the St. Regis Hotel where they had dinner with Mrs. Lauren last time. Caroline drools again when she thinks of the dishes that suit her taste.

"Carl is waiting for us there." Seeing the bright spot in the crowd at a glance, Caroline said to her parents.

She won't admit that she can't wait to eat!

Tam and Lilith followed their daughter's line of sight, and nodded to Carl who was walking over. Michael's presence was as low as ever.

"My parents are already inside, let me take you there." Carl said to them, walked to Caroline's side, and began to speak in a low voice.

"Are you hungry?" Carl asked Caroline as they walked.

Caroline nodded very reservedly.

Seeing her serious look, Carl couldn't help laughing: "I ordered your favorite food for you." He said to Caroline as if asking for credit.

"Well done!" Caroline praised Carl without hesitation.

No matter what time it is for communication, boasting is always unavoidable. Caroline, who was numb by the boasting all night, put down the knife in her hand again and said to Mrs. Hockley, an elegant and beautiful lady. "Thank you."

Mrs. Hockley laughed, and the arc of her mouth was controlled in a suitable position, which would not be too much, but also let people feel her love for you: "Look, Caroline is so polite." She Holding Caroline's hand, the two looked like mother and daughter.

Caroline, who had seen mother-in-law and daughter-in-law torn sex too much before, faced Mrs. Hockley's enthusiastic appearance, and she always treated her with inexplicable and cautious attitude.

A dinner passed with laughter, and Lilith and her daughter's future mother-in-law became poker friends and made an appointment to play bridge together next time.

"I'll take Caroline back." Carl looked down at Caroline and said to his mother-in-law.

Lilith, who originally wanted to object, was relieved when she thought that they were an unmarried couple, and they could also cultivate their relationship. Anyway, women are always the weak side when they are engaged.

Carl, who succeeded, smiled and helped Caroline into the car.

The Hockleys looked at Carl, who was too big to stay, and sighed deeply in their hearts.

Since getting engaged, Carl, who has been developing more and more towards large dogs, has come to see Caroline whenever he has something to do, sticky, and his affection is outrageous.

Looking at them, Tam felt really old.

The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and there was a roiling heat wave when going out. Seeing Carl's sweaty face every time he came to find her, Caroline really stayed at home and didn't want to go out.

Maybe it's because summer is here, she doesn't want to eat anything, and she is always lazy because of her poor appetite, and when Carl wants to take her out, she always wants to sleep.

Looking at Carl's worried eyes, Caroline explained to him righteously: "This is Xia Wen!"

The worsening appetite was accompanied by occasional vomiting after eating. Caroline felt that there was nothing wrong with her. It should be because of her poor appetite when summer came.But he was afraid that his family would be worried, so he never told Lilith.

Until she was bumped into by her mother, Caroline comforted her that she must have eaten something bad.

Lilith asked worriedly, "Are you really alright?"

"It's okay." Caroline took the towel, wiped the corners of her mouth, and comforted her worried mother: "Don't worry! I'm fine!"

Basically, wealthy families will keep a family doctor in case of emergency.Not to mention a family like Edron's.

Thinking of Caroline's abnormal appetite these days, Lilith, who wondered if she had a stomach problem, invited Alderfer to do a physical examination for her daughter.

Caroline was also pale from being tortured by her vomiting these days. When she heard the news that her family doctor had arrived, she followed her mother to the room for a checkup.

After the doctor put away the instruments, he looked at Mrs. Adlon with some hesitation.

"What's the matter, can't it be gastritis?" Lilith looked at Alderfer and asked him.

Alderfer knew that there were many noble families. He walked up to Lilith and whispered something. Lilith turned pale, and took him aside again, asking him repeatedly.

Calling the maid to send the doctor away, Lilith looked around to make sure no one was coming, and she closed the door carefully.

Looking at his daughter with a serious face who also didn't know what happened, he asked calmly.

"Whose is the child?"
