At that moment, everyone looked at Lucas and Yasmeen.
They were whispering something to each other intimately. As everyone paid attention to them, they looked around quickly and surprisedly.
And then, Yasmeen’s face was reddening very soon.
But as to Lucas, he glanced at them and said quite calmly, “What? After seeing mom and dad’s intimacy for years, do you guys still not get used to it?”
And they all looked at Samuel and Nicole. Samuel happened to look at Nicole lovingly.
Silence fell in the room.
Well, they should get used to it.
Samuel gave a sharp look at Lucas, who pretended not to see it. He fed himself a bite of steak and spoke lowly to Yasmeen, "We don’t have to care them. Let’s eat and drink.”
Zoe sat near to them. She heard what Lucas said and felt offended.
Tanner and Eaton looked confusedly at each other and then continued eating with their heads down.
Joseph Look askance at them and also continued eating with his head down.
Yasmeen felt an irresistible urge to laugh, but she held it back.
Nicole was in embarrassment. She cast a grim look at Samuel, coughed, and asked, "Joe, you are going to get engaged. At what time do you think it will be proper that Samuel and I visit the Gust’s?”
“The Gust’s?”
Lucas was bewildered.
The Gust family was one of the old families in the Seapolis City. It was said that the Gust family had made some great achievements in the medical field. Some of them were very influential, especially old Gust, who now was considered as the current greatest doctor in the country. He was Joseph's doctor.
So, the woman that Joseph was going to marry was Kylie Gust?
Lucas thought of it a bit. He recalled vaguely that Joseph played quite well with Mia when they were young. They were pretty intimate at that time. No wonder Joseph didn’t act as excitedly as other couples.
Lucas put on a broad smile and said congratulation to Joseph.
Joseph still looked expressionless, and replied blankly, “I will call Mr. Gust later. I will try to pull it in as soon as possible.”
"What a hurry? Joe, you are getting married not doing a quiz in the class. There is no need to make it hasty."
Yasmeen interrupted Joseph, who paused and continued in an undertone, “She is pregnant. I want to hold the wedding before her belly swells.”
Joseph’s tone was flat, but everyone who heard it was aghast.
"Big brother always takes the lead. I am impressed! Anyway, congratulations!"
Yasmeen coughed and spoke.
Lucas almost got gagged. As Yasmeen coughed, he hastily dropped his fork and ran his hand on her back. He gazed tentatively at Joseph.
Joseph was not the kind of person who would do something hilarious like this. Lucas just couldn't believe his ears.
Samuel and Nicole were also shocked.
They were surprised when they heard that Joseph was going to get engaged. They were more shocked as they heard that his fiancée was pregnant.
Were they going to be grandfather and grandmother?
Only Zoe looked calm.
How possible?
Seeing the dullness in Joseph’s eyes, Zoe felt it was unfair to Kylie.
She said with rage, “You don’t know Kylie likes you. That’s okay. But why do you want to marry Mia? You can marry any woman but her! You know that Mia and Kylie have a problem. You know Mia was the illegitimate daughter of Kylie’s father. Mia was brought and raised in Kylie’s home, and it made Kylie’s mother so mad that she became sick and passed away a few years ago. You know very well how bad Kylie’s life was to live with her stepmother, don’t you? You always stuck up for her, don’t you? How can you now want to marry her stepsister? Joe, what the hell happened to you? Do you think Mia's bad mother could teach her well? She said she is pregnant, and you think you are the father. Are you the father? Think about it. Is there a chance that you might be cheated?"
“Zoe, you go too far!”
Lucas never thought that there would be so many twists and turns behind the issue. He could tell that Zoe dislike Mia, but she just went too far.
Yasmeen dragged Lucas’s arm and shook her head. She turned to Joseph and spoke in a blank tone, “Joe, I know I might not be qualified to give you suggestions, but I have to say Mia is not the right one for you. I hope you can reconsider it.”
Lucas was surprised as Yasmeen tried to talk Joseph over.
“Do you know Mia?”
“We were in the same school before.”
Yasmeen was plain with Lucas. She gave a glance at Joseph and continued in an undertone, "Mia is good at making a friend. She knows how to please people. But she is a woman of no principles. Everything she did we all despised. She is slutty, and it is not a secret. Her father loves her. He manages almost all the troubles that she makes all the time. Therefore, most girls in big families in the Seapolis City dislike her.”
Yasmeen blurted it out in an inexplicit way, but Samuel and Nicole understood it very well in their heart.
It shocked all of them. Joseph was always doing good at everything, but now he had a big problem with his relationship.
“Joseph, are you serious? Do you mean to marry Mia?”
Samuel stared at Joseph grimly.
Joseph planned to reply in a firm tone. But at this time, Kylie's look crossed his mind. He didn't know why.
