Mary looked at her with a big smile and said, "When you bring your boyfriend back, I will also praise you."
Irish smiled and found Jay and Lilith all looking at her, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Lilith, are your parents all right?"
"Yes, they are fine." She began to worry that Mary would ask her more about her parents, and she took Jay's hands tightly.
Jay also clenched her hands and hinted to her not to be so nervous, and then he said to Mary, "Mom, don't ask her too many questions. She will be nervous."
"Don't be nervous since we will become a family sooner or later." Mary still took one of her hands and then continued, "Don't be anxious. I am a reasonable person, and I will give you support as long as you can live a happy life together."
Lilith tried her best to show a smile to Mary and extended her appreciation. It was easy to tell that Mary liked Lilith very much and commended her from time to time, which made Lilith feel embarrassed.
Soon Steven also asked her, "What's your job?"
"Uncle, I am a jewelry appraiser." She answered politely.
"Good job. I hope you can get married soon, and I like it very much." Mary said with a big smile hanging on her face while Jay still stared at her with a smile, but Lilith was even more flustered.
"Well, then, what do your parents do?" Mary asked again.
Finally, they asked about the key points. In fact, Lilith could tell them her father was a businessman. At the same time, her mother was a housewife and was interested in some charitable activities., but she was so flurried and didn't know how to answer the question. At the same time, Jay also stopped his movements and held her hands tightly, turning to his parents with a serious look.
Irish realized what he would be going to do next, so she also stopped eating and looked at them.
Lilith got closer to Jay subconsciously as if to seek a sense of security.
"Dad and mom, I have something to tell you, and perhaps you need mental preparation."
Steven perceived his seriousness and stared at him quietly while Mary still said with a smile, "Why are you so serious?"
"Mom, Dad, I really love Lilith," Jay said frankly to them while Lilith was moved by his words so deeply.
Steven and Mary took a glimpse at each other and then said, "We definitely know that. That's why you bring her back."
Irish had seen Jay's grave before, and he was competent police. Jay was young, but he had realized great achievement in his work after being a foot-riding in the dog trafficking organization out of his graveness. She knew that Jay had a dream from his childhood, and that was to be the police, but she did not know why he was determined to be anti-drug police. She also asked him about this before, but he just answered that there must always be someone to do it.
Therefore, Irish admired his graveness, and now he told his parents that he loved this girl, Irish then realized he was serious and had fallen in love with her. Though she also hesitated that if it was proper for them to be with each other, now she felt as long as they loved each other, nothing would matter at all.
Jay clenched her hands, looking at Mary and Steven calmly. "In fact, Lilith is…."
"Let me tell them." Lilith interrupted him since she thought it was better to tell them personally.
Jay stopped, looking at her, and finally nodded while Mary and Steven were even more confused by them and waited for her.
Lilith took a look at Irish while getting encouragement from her eyes.
"Uncle and aunt, in fact....." She turned to Mary and Steven, who were smiling at her and stopped for a second, and then continued, "In fact, my father is William Lake, and my mother is Kelly Channing." After finishing her words, she held Jay's hands even more tightly, waiting for the coming storm. Jay and Irish were also waiting together with her.
As expected, the smiles were frozen on their faces after hearing this. Though they were not so familiar with the name Lilith, the names of William and Kelly were carved in their mind, so when they heard the names from Lilith, it was like throwing two huge stones on the calm lake.
The fork in Mary's hands fell down on the ground suddenly, and when Irish was just about to bow, Lilith had rushed to pick it up already. She scrubbed it carefully and put it back in front of Mary, "Aunt...."
Mary stared at Lilith silently, and now she knew the reason why Lilith looked like Irish. Steven also turned serious but said nothing while Jay didn't expect this at all, and he held Lilith's hands again and then said, "Mom, Dad, I know you mind the fact that she is the daughter of the Lake family, but we really love each other, and I hope you both can understand me. But I will still love her regardless if you both support me or not and because I love her that much, and I don't mind her family at all."
Lilith was tearful after hearing this.
Time passed, but Mary and Steven just kept silent. Jay had told them the truth, and he knew this couldn't be settled down in such a short time, so he pulled up Lilith and said to his parents, "I bring her back home today to tell you the truth. Dad, Mom, you know me well, and I know you both can't accept this fact immediately. I'm sorry, I think we need to leave first."
After finishing this, he was about to leave with Lilith. But Steven hastily stopped them with a depressing voice, "Finish the dinner first since you brought her home and mustered enough courage to tell us the truth. Sit down."
Jay was slightly shocked but still sat down after taking a glance at Lilith. Mary also reacted though she was not as cheerful as the moment ago, at least she did not get angry. Instead, she said in a low voice, "Let's eat."
Jay looked at them hesitantly, but soon he also took up the fork and began to eat.
