Not able to utter a word, Maria just shook her head slightly.

Of course, there was no problem. In fact, it was the opposite.

Maria subtly heaved a sigh. Why was he always right?

“Why are you eager to go with me?" Finally, Maria couldn't stop asking what was on her mind.

“why?” Anthony Looked at her as if he just heard a silly question. Maria averted her gaze and explained, “Well, I can take care of myself. I just don't want to cause you any trouble."

She was used to speaking in a cold and indifferent tone, and this time, it wasn't much different.

However, Maria looked a bit restless. It was as if she was a little nervous about something.

“Oh, you can take care of yourself?" Anthony chuckled softly, as if he heard an interesting joke.

"I still remember you falling asleep on the carpet of the hotel room during our first blind date. Fine. Do you want to go to Broome alone and sleep on the carpet of your grandfather's house? Or perhaps, you have recovered from your narcolepsy? I wasn't informed."

Maria could just purse her lips, knowing that she was defeated.

Obviously, she hadn't recovered yet. Even though the frequency of the narcolepsy attacks became less than before, it would still happen occasionally, especially if there were unforeseen triggers.

“How about this? If you can assure me that your adoptive parents and Vivian will take good care of you, I won't need to go with you. After all, we are just engaged. We are not formally married yet."

Anthony suddenly changed the way he spoke. Most times, he was very decisive, leaving no room for anyone to argue. But now, he was deliberately letting Maria make a choice of her own. Of course, there were certain conditions she had to meet first.

Even Maria was taken by surprise when she heard Anthony talk this way. Although they had been together for quite some time, she would always feel like she had to obey whatever he said.

Therefore, this situation made her feel a little weird. It was a bit unusual for her.

Then, shrugging his shoulders, Anthony said, “Anyway, you are the boss."

Meanwhile, the Jenkins family already arrived at the airport in Sheffield.

Upon seeing the place, Julie realized that she hadn't taken a plane for a long time.

Having lived in seclusion for almost twenty years, Julie felt a little dizzy, already not used to the buzzing atmosphere at the biggest airport in the city.

On the other hand, the two people beside her, Bill and Vivian, were very excited.
