Beverly Hills, Cooper Family.
A Land Rover and a panamera pulled up, and six girls got out, each carrying gifts.
Eric, who had seen them through the window, had already opened the door and was waiting.
Mwah!
Kiss!
After kissing the six in turn, the spacious living room immediately became lively.
Joshua and his two sisters-in-law stood up to greet them. This was the first formal meeting between the two sides; before, it had only been hearsay.
No one was better than the other; they were all in the same situation, which made it seem harmonious and natural.
"These are gifts for you. I hope everyone likes them."
Elizabeth handed exquisite packages to Joshua, the two sisters-in-law, and Eric's parents.
Although there were six of them, Eric had told them not to prepare individual gifts. After all, they represented a whole, so one good gift would suffice.
The two sisters-in-law each received a handbag and a set of cosmetics, which appeared to be high-quality goods worth at least tens of thousands of dollars.
Joshua received a contract, stating that once his sports brand grew larger, they could film a commercial for him for free.
His mother received a valuable necklace, and his father got a limited edition golf club, which he happily swung several times.
Everyone exchanged gifts and seemed very satisfied. At least for now, it looked harmonious.
Joshua kept saying sickening things like, "This will be an unforgettable night."
After another ten minutes, the sound of cars was heard again from outside.
Judy led the way, followed by Liu Yifei, Daddario, and Avril, who entered in single file.
The six women knew Eric would invite some good friends over, but seeing only women, they felt a bit strange.
Theron's eyes scanned back and forth between Eric and the four women, revealing a look of suspicion.
This scene today felt somewhat familiar.
"Uncle and Auntie, thank you for inviting us to celebrate the holiday together. Please accept this gift; we prepared it carefully."
His father and mother happily accepted the items. They smiled at everyone, appearing very kind.
They aimed to be neutral and watch the show.
Everyone else also received gifts. Eric's was a CD.
He looked at it with some confusion. Judy leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I've gotten the three of them together and recorded it for your enjoyment."
"Shh, keep it low-key! Low-key!"
Eric carefully put away the CD. What a good thing!
It was indeed convenient to have Judy pave the way for him. He could finally transform into a Super Wing.
To be honest, two wings no longer felt satisfying enough for him.
Everyone sat in the living room chatting about interesting life stories. By 7 PM, the bright lights of the villa cast soft, colorful hues.
A Christmas tree stood in the center, beautifully decorated with ribbons, candies, gifts, and stars.
His eldest sister-in-law, arm around Joshua's, suddenly said, "This atmosphere is so nice, but I always feel like something is missing."
"It's children. The living room is missing the sight of children playing, isn't it?" The second sister-in-law stated directly.
Joshua, however, was unconcerned. He put an arm around each of them, "That's easy. After the holidays, we'll start trying for a baby. Maybe we can make it for next year's Christmas."
Looking at the three laughing people, the Beverly Hills quintet all looked at Eric.
It was one thing if one person's belly showed no movement, but for five people to have none was very strange. They could only blame Eric for not trying hard enough.
But heaven help him!
There was nothing left, not a single drop.
"Dinner is ready! I stuffed pineapple into this chicken; it's a new way to eat it. Come on, everyone, try it!"
At this moment, his mother called out, and Eric's ten women eagerly rushed into the kitchen to bring out dishes and rice.
There was no other way; none of them were skilled cooks; they were all amateurs.
Plus, they didn't practice normally, so they could only bring dishes to show their presence. In this regard, they were far inferior to his two sisters-in-law.
"Thank the Lord, for He has given us food and kept us alive. Amen!"
Regardless of belief, everyone followed his mother in closing their eyes to pray. But Eric suddenly felt a rub on his calf.
He stealthily opened his eyes. Who was it? With so many people, he couldn't tell.
After the prayer, as his mother began to fill his father's plate with food, everyone relaxed and officially began to eat.
Next to him, his eldest sister-in-law picked up a piece of meat from the soup bowl, preparing to cut it for Joshua.
Seeing this, Mary, who was sitting to Eric's left, followed suit, taking a spoon and scooping some mashed potatoes, intending to put it on the man's plate.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, Avril had the same idea.
The two ceramic spoons collided, and mashed potatoes and gravy splattered out, landing on Eric's clothes.
His once clean clothes were stained before he even started eating.
"Sorry, I'll wipe it."
"Sorry, Eric."
The two women's hands became entangled again.
"Don't worry, Avril, let me do it."
"No, no, no, let me do it. Darling, where is your bedroom?"
"What? What did you just say?" The Beverly Hills quintet looked over together.
"I said I want to change Eric's clothes."
"What I asked was your address for him?" Mary's voice suddenly rose several octaves.
What kind of person was Avril? A typical punk rock girl, outspoken and never shortchanging herself.
She had prepared gifts for these five women and greeted them with fake smiles.
Are we close? Most of you I haven't even met more than a few times.
Unexpectedly yelled at, she immediately yelled back, "Darling, I called him darling, what about it?"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized the problem and her sharp gaze immediately turned to Eric's face, "You didn't tell them, did you?"
Judy, Daddario, and Liu Yifei all looked over, "Eric, you're hiding it from them?"
Nicole, Theron, Gadot, Ashley, and Mary also widened their eyes, "You found four more women behind our backs?"
Eric awkwardly pouted, "I hadn't had a chance to say anything yet. Today is a good day; I was just about to announce the news."
Saying that, he stood up, "While everyone is here, I feel I can no longer hide it."
"Judy, Avril, Crystal, and Daddario, we have been together for a long time."
"Starting today, they will officially join the Cooper Family."
"I hope everyone can be good sisters from now on and work together to make our family better and better."
"Applause!"
He clapped a few times himself, then looked at his father and mother, who remained silent.
He then looked at his elder brother and sister-in-law; the three of them were smiling, seemingly anticipating the start of a good show.
Suddenly, a box smashed into Avril's plate, and a bracelet fell out.
With a clatter, over a hundred thousand dollars were ruined.
Immediately after, a spoonful of fruit jelly flew out, and Eric heard Theron's gasp from his left.
"Haha. I knew it!"
