Olsen Family.

After receiving Keira's message, Mrs. Olsen breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been afraid that Keira wouldn't bring her husband back at all, which would mean she had made up her mind to be with Mr. Horton...

Mrs. Olsen looked toward Taylor. "Keira is bringing her husband home tonight; let's get the kitchen ready," she said.

Taylor seemed a bit impatient. "If she's coming, she's coming. What's there to prepare? Shirley, you're just too good to her!"

Despite his words, he gave a nod to Aunt South.

Aunt South then headed to the kitchen.

Isla listened to the conversation between the two, narrowing her eyes.

So, Keira was finally going to bring that pauper of a husband to their doorstep?!

Good, she would make Keira pay today!

With a smile, she said, "Then I'll get Jake to come home for dinner too. After all, it's Keira's husband's first visit to our house. We are sisters, so their husbands are brothers-in-law."

After saying this, she took out her phone and sent Jake a WhatsApp message. "Jake, come over for dinner tonight?"

Hearing that, Mrs. Olsen couldn't help but frown and interjected, "Remind Jake to bring fewer gifts when he comes."

Isla was taken aback.

She clenched her fists tightly!

Of course, she understood why Mrs. Olsen would say such a thing because Keira's husband came from a poor background, someone not fit for the public eye. Was Mrs. Olsen afraid that Jake would overshadow him?!

She felt anger, thinking that Mrs. Olsen's favoritism had gone too far.

Seeing her displeased expression, Mrs. Olsen quickly explained, "Isla, don't think too much. Tonight is to welcome Keira and her husband. His humble origins shouldn't be highlighted too much compared to Jake's."

Mrs. Olsen simply didn't want to embarrass Keira.

With a smile, Isla replied, "Sure! I'll remind Jake."

Although she said that out loud, over WhatsApp, Jake had already replied, "Don't want to come."

A tightness gripped Isla's chest as she typed. "Tonight Keira's husband will visit, so I thought to ask you to join us."

Jake's reply was quick. "What time?"

Isla clenched her fist. "He should arrive around six, so come around five-thirty."

Jake said, "Okay, is there anything I need to bring?"

Although Jake could be arrogant, he was dependable in action. The Horton family's good upbringing didn't allow for impolite behavior.

Seeing his response, Isla continued. "We got our certificate today, and it's kind of like your first time coming to my home, so you shouldn't skimp on the necessary gifts. But my mom just mentioned not to choose anything too expensive, to keep Keira's husband from feeling inferior."

She knew Jake all too well.

Just mention Keira's husband, and he'd surely act rebelliously.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jake's message came through. "It's my first visit, so it wouldn't be good to appear too shabby. I'll bring whatever I want, and you don't need to worry about it."

The corner of Isla's lips curled slightly.

She put down her phone and looked toward Mrs. Olsen. "Mom, I've already reminded Jake. I told him not to bring too much stuff; I won't compete with Keira for attention."
