Bring Your A Game

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 834-After Gladys was satisfied with the food arrangement, she came over with a kind smile to have a quick chat with Narissa. “Just wait a little longer, Narissa. There is some traffic on the road, but Jayden’s father will be home soon. I’m sorry for the slight delay.”

“It’s fine, Mrs. Quinn. I’m not hungry yet,” Narissa answered cautiously.

“That’s good. Here, have some fruits!” Gladys enthusiastically placed the fruit platter before her.

Narissa was flattered, and despite being shy, she still took a slice of watermelon.

Right then, sounds of footsteps echoed from the door, and Jayden’s father, Harold, who hadn’t shown himself until now, finally appeared. He was holding a briefcase in one hand, and his suit jacket was hanging over his other arm. In a suit, leather shoes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses over the bridge of his nose, he looked completely like a veteran cadre that Jayden had described him to be.

“You’re finally home. We’re all waiting for you!”

While Gladys rushed over to help him with his things, Jayden and Narissa also rose to their feet and greeted him politely.

“Dad.”

“Hello, Mr. Quinn.”

Harold had a rather stern face, but he didn’t say much. Instead, he merely calmly swept his eyes over them and nodded at the two youngsters in acknowledgment. “Let’s eat.”

After that, they sat around the dinner table, where Gladys kept piling up food on Narissa’s plate. “Oh, have more food. Just look how skinny you are! You must have been hard at work! I spent many hours on this stew, and the flavor is amazing. Give it a try!” As soon as she was free, she stared at Narissa. “What a fine lady you are. My son will be so blessed in the future!”

“Thank you, Mrs. Quinn,” Narissa answered docilely, her ears reddened by Gladys’ sincere compliment. Her bashfulness was plain to see, but that didn’t stop Gladys from smiling widely.

“When do you plan to get married?” Then, all of a sudden, Harold, who had been quiet the whole time, spoke, and the atmosphere turned serious.

Gladys chuckled lightly as she hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “That’s just how Harold is. He has no tact. Don’t take it to heart, Narissa. But honestly speaking, this is one of the things that has been bothering us for quite a while. Once you have decided, just give us a heads up, so we have sufficient time to get ready.”

“Mom, we haven’t talked about this topic yet,” Jayden couldn’t stand it any longer as he interjected.

“Aren’t we discussing it with you now?” Harold said strictly as he placed down his fork and lightly tapped the table with his finger. “You’re already in your thirties. When will you get married and have a child if not now?” Then, he paused momentarily as he glanced at Narissa and said profoundly, “A woman is considered to be in her advanced maternal age past the age of thirty. Not only is that bad for the baby, but it’s also dangerous for the mother. Aren’t you going to consider this at all?”

After Gladys was satisfied with the food arrangement, she came over with a kind smile to have a quick chat with Narissa. “Just wait a little longer, Narissa. There is some traffic on the road, but Jayden’s father will be home soon. I’m sorry for the slight delay.”
