The Runaway Groom Chapter 1252
However, Stan noticed Rea blushing and moved his lips closer to her ear to tease her. "It's fine—I agreed to help anyway, so I'll help deceive them. That said, this isn't a permanent solution, since you can fool them once, but not all the time.""Of course I know," Rea said, looking everywhere but Stan's face.Still, she had already thought about that on her way to Stan.She would first ask him to pretend to be her boyfriend to stop them from bugging her, and then tell them it was a long-distance relationship when Stan returned to Franconia.That would keep her parents satisfied for a while, and she could use the time to find someone who suited her.If she did, she could tell her parents she broke up with Stan and found a new lover.At the very least, they would not be breathing down her neck about marriage."Don't worry. I'm in your hands." "Hey, you said it, not me," Stan said, able to smell her nice perfume while his eyes stayed unwittingly fixed on her thin neck from up cl

Stan slowly turned to look at Rea's legs—they were long, slender, and fair.Her toenails, poking out of fluffy slippers, were sparkly and made her skin appear fairer.To be honest, she was not ugly—if anything, she was good-looking.Still, Stan turned away and smiled at Rea. "Are you a woman?""What, are you saying that I'm a man?" Rea snorted in annoyance—her skin and appearance were perfect, as befitting of an heiress!"Really?" Stan flashed a sly smile. "Then why don't you prove it?"Rea puffed her chest, only for Stan to purse his lips. "Aren't those fake?""I'm one hundred percent natural, and nothing about me is fake!" Rea huffed. "Stop looking like you don't believe me!"Despite the popularity of plastic surgery, Rea could proudly say that she never needed a scalpel—not even a tiny bit.All she did was professional skincare, and she was too young to need botox.She was a natural beauty and at the peak of her youth, so what use did she have for medical beautification?

Rea was left gaping at Stan—this man was such a bitch, complaining to her parents!And he was the one bullying her!Having had enough, she snapped, "You call yourself a man?!"He was pouting like a wounded wife but also afraid to speak.Mr. Fowler snapped at Rea right then, "What are you saying?! I've really spoiled you so much that you don't understand when it's too much. Apologize to Stan now!"Rea's cheeks were flushed. "He's bullying me.""How? The way I see it, you're the one throwing a fit," Mr. Fowler said. "Apologize to him!""No!" Rea refused stubbornly.She never apologized to anyone and was certainly not going to do it to a man who framed her!"Stan Hill!" she snapped, her chest heaving. "How despicable can you get?!"Stan promptly cringed dramatically. "No, no, you don't have to apologize. I'm used to it—don't get upset with her, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "We'll speak later. Let's go downstairs, Stan."Stan nodded.As Stan left, Mr. Fowler

Stan was not proud—he understood humility and how to respond impeccably.In contrast, Mr. Fowler did not like impetuous men—those types would not succeed in anything."What do you think of Rea?" Mr. Fowler then asked.Stan mused to himself for a while and said, "She's great!" Mr. Fowler chuckled. "She's spoiled."He then made another move, avoiding Stan's attack and checking Stan.One wrong move, and Stan would lose.As he stared at the chessboard, Mr. Fowler looked up at him. "My daughter is spoiled and has led a charmed life. But even though she has an attitude, she's naive and kind.""Well, she's one of a kind."Stan could feel that Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were loving parents, which made for a good family vibe.Even if Rea would get a little feisty, she did not bear ill will, and that made her a rare specimen.Only those who lived in sheltered environments would retain their kind nature, while those who faced society's abuses would end up warped.Mr. Fowler nodded. "Yeah… B

Even after a moment, the savory taste still lingered—even someone uneducated in tea like Stan knew that the tea was good.Turning toward Mr. Fowler, he said, "Thank you for your hospitality, sir."Mr. Fowler waved him off, "Oh, a cup of tea is really nothing. You can have everything I have when you become my son-in-law.""Dad." Rea pouted. "Could you stop talking about that? Aren't you worried about scaring him away?""Fine, my bad." Mr. Fowler chuckled.Rea wrapped her hands around his arm and leaned on his shoulder. "So, who won?""I lost," Stan said. "No, we played two games," Mr. Fowler smiled. "And we're even."Stan, however, could see what was going on. "You're letting me win, or I wouldn't have taken the first round.""No, you're good enough." Mr. Fowler nodded in acknowledgement. "Youngsters these days don't even know how to play chess."Then, turning to Rea, he said, "Why don't you go on a stroll in the back garden with Stan? I'm quite proud of it." He was clearly

Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim

"I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y
