Just a few words.

But it made Amber bow her head in silence and blush.

He said to Steve in a shy tone, "Dad, what, what are you talking about?"

Steve was stunned and laughed, "Oh, my daughter has started lecturing her father. Amber, don't be mad. Your parents are not arrogant. You and Jack love each other, and a proposal has been made. You two have come to age, and we have to catch up, right?"

Amber blushed, but she did not deny it.

He knew his father was a little afraid Jack would leave him, but that was not his main intention.

He was more worried that they had reached their age.

He had been waiting for her for three years since they graduated from university.

Now that everything is going according to plan, it is time to get everything done as soon as possible.

If his parents were arrogant, they wouldn't have come when they found out about it. They'll call and ask him to break up with Jack.

When Jack leads his mother and Mr. Ward into the Bamboo Forest.

Amber quickly brings her parents and Minister Mable to the doorstep to greet them.

The two old men were friendly with each other, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Jack and Amber followed behind their parents happily.

But, Jack felt a hint of sadness in his heart.

He had been dreaming of the scene before him for a long time.

He had worked hard but, in the end, was looked down upon by others.

The woman he was with now was someone else, and the scene was different.

Perhaps, ever since she loved Katherine, they were not destined to be together and were destined to have a troubled relationship.

Jack took a deep breath and suppressed the past feelings within him.

After they all sat down.

Minister Mable asked the waiters to serve the dish.

At the dining table, the atmosphere was cheerful and enthusiastic.

After a few rounds of drinking and half fullness.

Finally, it was time for the main topic.

"Jack, one of the reasons Rosie and I came back here this time is to thank you."

Steve's face flushed red with wine, and he said seriously, "I can finish my dream years because of you."

"It's nothing, Mr. Knight."

Jack smiled and replied. He knew that Steve was talking about entering the Hughes family.

Then Steve spoke again.

"The second reason is we want to ask when did you and Amber get married? You two are old enough. You two better get married soon because your relationship is strong now."

"We're getting older and expecting a grandchild."

What he said made everyone at the table laugh.

"Yes, I have the same thoughts as you."

Sophie said with a smile as if she had found someone with the same thought as her, "What I think is, Jack and Amber should get married sooner, better."

"Dad"

"Mama"

Amber and Jack inevitably call their parents together.

Steve laughed and said to Sophie, "Sophie, our children are still small and shy. It's hard to talk to them about this. Why don't we just set a date?"

"How about the 15th of next month?"

Sophie advised.

Steve and Rosie looked at each other, then nodded.

She had already thought about the wedding date, but she did not expect their parents would set it within a date that did not even stay another month in just a few words.

It was only less than a month left, and many things had yet to be prepared.

"Yes, there are wedding photos, wedding venues, and a lot of things to prepare." Amber agrees with Jack.

"Oh, don't worry too much, you two. You two go ahead and prepare what you need to prepare. We'll do hotel selection, banquets, and other guest lists."

Sophie said seriously while pointing to Mr. Ward, "If we can't manage, we still have Mr. Ward to help us."

"Young master, Madam is right," Mr. Ward smiled as he nodded.

That was the end of the discussion!

Jack could do nothing. He looked at Amber helplessly and nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Steve and Rosie, "Master and Mistress Knight, about the engagement gift..."

"Don't you just give it to us?" Rosie said with a gentle smile, "Can't the gift you gave us last time be considered an engagement gift?"

Jack dumbfounded.

"But..."

He quickly said, "It was just a gift for the first meeting. Of course, it's not an engagement gift."

"You son, since we said it was an engagement gift, then it is."

Steve said solemnly, "In addition, I have fulfilled my dreams for many years because of you. It was the biggest engagement gift."

"But..."

Jack wanted to argue. Marrying Amber to the right traditional methods was her sincerity towards Amber.

Amber willingly waited for him for three years and came to him even when he was in the poorest situation of his life.

She had decided to be with him even when she did not know about his background.

Amber risked the rest of her life for him. He's not willing to let Amber lose.

She also did not want to let Amber regret her marriage a little.

"Jack, we know your sincerity with Amber."

Rosie smiled gently as she looked at Amber, "Steve and I only have one daughter, we appreciate her, and we hope she can marry someone nice and have a happy life."

"The engagement gift is your sincerity, but we've seen your sincerity with Amber. We just wish you could make Amber happy all her life. Then we'll be happy as his parents."

"But that's not fair to Amber. Amber deserves a decent engagement gift like everyone else." Jack persistent.

Sophie also felt sorry for Amber and said, "Master and Mistress Knight, an engagement gift is a must. It's not easy for Amber and Jack to get this far. Since they are going to get married, a proper marriage should be given. It's not fair for Amber if we don't prepare an engagement gift for her."

Steve and Rosie felt a warmth in his words.

Engagement gifts are the part where problems start at the wedding of an ordinary person.

Although both families were rich and wealthy and did not lack money, saying such a thing meant they cared about Amber.

The engagement gift represents their attitude!

"Cough, I'm old for Amber. I think I have a right to speak a few words here, right?"

Minister Mable could feel tense, and he stood up with a glass of wine in his hand. He said to Sophie and Jack, "Jack, we're glad you have that thought. The Knights were also clear about their thoughts. The best engagement gift is Amber's happiness."

"Don't think happy is easy.It is hard to have a lifetime of happiness. So, an engagement gift is not something that is easy to achieve."

"I'll say this to Amber as her parents. If you can't be sure of Amber's future happiness, don't blame Steve and I for coming to trouble you."

The joke made the atmosphere not too tense.

Jack stood up and raised the wine glass.

"Thank you, Mr and Mrs Knight. I'll do everything I can. I'm not gonna let you and Amber down."

Amber also stood up and raised her wine glass. He said with a smile, "Thank you, mom and dad."

"That's how it should be. Then it was decided that the 15th of next month was a wedding!"

Steve stood up smiling. And they threw and drank wine in their glasses.
