Chapter 642 He Is Different

"I only want the best for her. I don't want her to go through what I went through.

And after the surgery, I tend to be more open-minded and let go of a lot of things. Children have their own lives to live. Sometimes, as parents, we can only speak for ourselves but not for our children.

And I can't guarantee that she'll definitely be happy if she lived the way I want. So instead of meddling, I'm going to let her do whatever she wants and love who she wants to love. She'll be fully responsible for her own life."

She paused for a moment, then looked at Laura with a gentle smile.

"Besides, Laura is no longer the little girl who needed to ask my opinions on everything. If she loves you and wants to marry you, that's enough. Nothing else matters."

Laura's eyes turned red instantly after hearing that.

She was so moved that she jumped into Fannie's arms at once. She hugged her tight and cried out, "Mum."

Fannie chuckled.

Max was also deeply moved.

He said with gratitude, "Mrs. Davies, I promise you that I'll be good to Laura. You're welcome to supervise me. If I do anything to hurt her feelings, feel free to scold me at any time."

Mrs. Davies smiled and said, "Gee, why do you still call me Mrs. Davies?"

Laura looked up from her mother's arms, with her little face blushed with shyness. Then she gave him an angry look playfully.

"Just call her the way I call her."

Max seemed to be a little shy, but he was still happy to call Fannie, "Mum."

"Alright."

Next, Fannie went back to her room and got a bottle of nice wine from her baggage, and gave it to the happy couple.

She said with a smiley face, "Since everything is happening so fast, I didn't get to prepare any wedding gift for you guys. This is a bottle of wine that I've been keeping for years. I now give it to you and wish you guys a happy and long-lasting marriage."

Both of them accepted it with a smile.

In a particularly good mood, Max asked the servants to do different household chores and told their family doctor to come over to check on his mother-in-law.

He said to her, "If you need a body check in the future, you don't have to go to the hospital. Just call your doctor, and he will come and help you here."

She was a little embarrassed, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

Max said, "No, not at all. They are family doctors, and this is part of their service."

Fannie smiled and accepted his suggestion.

They talked and laughed all afternoon. In the evening, the new cook made a nice dinner for them to celebrate the good day.

Since Fannie had just been discharged from the hospital, it would be inappropriate for her to eat too much greasy or spicy food. So the whole meal was bland and healthy. Laura opened a bottle of wine on the shelf for her and Max.

Fannie said to Laura, "Don't drink too much."

Laura giggled and spat out her tongue. Then Max laughed and said, "It's okay. We're home now."

Fannie then laughed, "Be careful not to spoil her."

Laura immediately wrinkled her nose in displeasure, "Mum! I'm not spoiled! It sounds like I'm being unreasonable."

Fannie pursed her lips and laughed in delight.

"Alright! You're the most sensible girl."

The atmosphere in the house was warm and cheerful.

And at this time, on the other side.

At the Nixon mansion.

Christine had just finished her beauty treatment. As she was coming down from upstairs, she saw Chad coming back from outside.

Chad was already in his fifties this year, but he still looked particularly young. He looked like he was in his 30s or something.

Although Christine had given birth to two sons, given the comfortable and wealthy life she had led over the years, she also looked extraordinarily young.

Even though she was not as slim as she was before, she still looked elegant and attractive with her fair and tender skin.

She stepped forward and naturally took the clothes Chad handed over to her. She asked, "Why are you the only one back today?"

Chad stretched his sore shoulders and said, "Kevin is out of the country on a business trip. He probably won't be back until three or four days later."

Now, the business affairs of Nixon Group were basically managed by Chad and Kevin together.

Compared to Max, who had tons of hobbies and interests, and did not like to be controlled, Chad's eldest son Kevin looked much more mature and reliable. Christine nodded hearing what he said.

Chad looked around and frowned, "Max didn't come home again?"

Christine sighed, "Didn't you get used to it? It's not like there's anything important going on here. It would news if he came back!"

After hearing what she said, Chad's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

After a short while, Chad said, slightly mad, "Nonsense! How could he not care about his parents? He should come home regularly to check on us!"

Christine saw that he was angry and smiled, "Well, you don't have to be angry. You know him better than this. He's your son. He's got your genes I'm afraid. " Her words sounded like sour grapes.

Chad froze. Something suddenly occurred to him, a guilty look flashed across his face.

Then he smiled blandly at Christine and said, "Fine. Forget it. Dinner is ready, right? Let's see what we're having today."

After saying that, he went straight to the dining room.

Christine watched him leave as if he was avoiding her, her face sullen.

But she dropped the topic and followed him over.

After they finished dinner that night, Laura walked around the backyard of the villa with her mother.

Max, on the other hand, went upstairs to the study. Now that they were legally married, he would stay over tonight.

After taking a walk with her mother, Laura went back to the bedroom.

She saw no one in there, she knew that Max must be in the study.

So, she turned around and went to the study.

At that moment, Max concentrated on drawing something on his computer.

He was different from his older brother Kevin, who had been very smart and good at everything since he was a child.

With an exceptional EQ and IQ, few people his age could be as brilliant as him.

So Max grew up knowing that he was no match for his brother.

However, he never wanted to compare himself with Kevin.

They were interested in completely different things and had different hobbies.

After graduating from college, Kevin started running their family's business at the request of their father.

Max had asked his brother privately if he was not pleased with his father's arrangement.
