Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 241 - Just get married

It had been difficult to not be able to speak and express Lena's thoughts. She sighed in relief knowing that Kris was here.

Shen Mao and Elder Li looked at Kris. He walked over and greeted them.

"Good morning CEO Shen and grandfather..." Kris did not want to call the old man that, but he was putting up a face in front of Shen Mao.

Shen Mao cleared his throat. He had met with Kris Li before, but this was the first time he did not feel like he was going to die.

"I sincerely apologize for all the misunderstanding and not being able to come to visit the Shen family. We both knew that our families would rush the idea of marriage if they knew about us. Hence we kept it to ourselves for awhile. We just want to do things our own way. We are both responsible adults. We hope that both families would understand the situation."

Shen Mao cleared his throat. "I... I am not rushing a marriage. I just want to know that you are not just playing around with my daughter. She had been through enough."

"I can assure you that I am not playing with your daughter, CEO Shen. She is the first woman to be by my side and she will be the only wife I would take." Kris sat down by Lena and held her hand.

Lena looked at him and smiled.

"I know that words can be empty with no actions. If it makes you feel better, Lena and I can get engage and we can get married when we want to."

"...." Shen Mao did not reply.

"Lena had just finished college. She is just starting her career and enjoying her life. I don't want to yet bound her to the life of marriage. She should feel free for a while before she starts her own family." Kris spoke.

"Don't get engage." Shen Mao replied.

Both Kris and Lena looked at Shen Mao. Was he not accepting their relationship?

"My Lena... she has been in an engagement most of her life. We both know how that ended. I don't want her to be stuck in one again. I am fine with whatever you both are doing... as you said, you are both responsible adults."

Lena looked at her father and started to get teary but didn't cry. She lets go of Kris' hold on her hand and instead held her father's hand.

"Dad..."

"I hope Chairman Li can agree with me."

Elder Li looked at Shen Mao. Of course, he does not agree... he wants them married and start having children already. But, he cannot go against anyone here. He just smiled and nodded.

"So don't get engaged. When you are both ready to get married, just get married. These days... you can always have a ceremony after you are married."

"Thank you, CEO Shen."

"Ahahah..." Shen Mao chuckled. "You are family now... you should just call me Father and get use to it."

"Well then, thank you, father."

Shen Mao smiled proudly. It was nice having such an elite young man called him father. It made him feel proud and strong.

"That said." Shen Mao turned to Lena. "You... stop being so stubborn. If your voice is gone, stay home and rest. I know you are just like your mother, as long as you can still breath, you will work, work, and work. You have so many people who worry about you now... don't make us all grow white hair worrying about you."

Lena softly laughed. It was true, even if Kris had told her to stay, she would of went to work anyways. It's just her voice... it's not like her throat hurts or her legs are broken.

"And you should come home with Kris this weekend. And, you should come too, Chairman Li. Your entire family should come for dinner at our house this weekend."

Kris smiled dropped and he gave his grandfather a death glare which Shen Mao did not see. However, Elder Li definitely can sense it. He knew that Kris did not want his ungrateful grandparents anywhere near Lena nor her family.

However... how can he let such a good chance to be with his grandson go?

"Well of course. My old lady and I shall come."

"Great! I should get going then."

"I should too..." Elder Li spoke.

Everyone said their goodbyes and left. Only Kris and Lena was left. Kris did not want to have another meal with his grandparents. In the end, he just sighed and focused on the positives in his life, like Lena.

With everyone gone, Kris grabbed Lena's cheeks and squeezed them. "This is why you should be more obedient. If you had stayed home like the note I wrote... this could have been avoided."

Lena swapped his hands away from her. "My dad would have come to my apartment then..."

"So... maybe we could get married quicker that way."

"You want to get married?" Lena asked in her broken tiny voice.

Married. Everyone had been mentioning marriage lately. His mother, his grandparents... Collin is getting married. The word has just been in his head so much. Does he want to marry Lena... because he wants to... or because other people want him to?

"Not yet." Kris honestly answered. He had yet to learn what a real marriage is... and what Lena wants out of a marriage.

Kris does not want a marriage like his grandparents or parents... those were basically the marriages that he grew up with. He knew that the world was not limited to those type of situations... but you can't stop wondering.

Lena just looked at him and smiled.

"We still have yet to do your unmarried sex," Kris added.

Lena grinned wider and pouched on the man. Lena stopped and stared at him again, but this time with more of a worried face. Kris knew exactly what she wanted to ask.

"Don't worry... I'll find out why my grandfather's information was incorrect about your doctor's visit. After all, I stole Gary from you."

"Tsk..."

"I do have to go back to work though. I had to miss a meeting just to get here."

Kris pulled Lena in close and kissed her forehead. After releasing Lena, she signaled him to wait. She went to her fridge and got out the lunch that she had prepared for him this morning.

"Thanks." Kris spoke. "I might not be home until late tonight. Don't wait up for me and eat dinner yourself."

Lena gave him an okay signal.

Kris felt like he was neglecting husband attention to a wife. But he knew... that Lena knew that something was going on. And he felt even more loved and trusted, knowing that his significant other don't need to know everything. That she is understanding and patient with him.

Kris grabbed his lunch and head out.

Lena sighed... it was going to be another rough evening without her man to warm her bed. If she was not controlling herself, she would already be out to find and kill whoever was giving her man troubles.

But she knew that the situation was sensitive. She will have to trust and be patient with Kris.
