The wooden floors paired with soft wool carpets felt incredibly comfortable to walk on. The two-story spiral staircase design added a touch of mystery to the retro style.
Apart from that, the Collins family villa exuded grandeur in every corner.
In terms of area, the living room on the first floor alone was probably over eighty square meters.
Coupled with the magnificent crystal chandelier hanging straight down from the second floor in the stairwell, it was grand yet luxurious.
Of course, aside from these hardware facilities, the living utensils like sofas, tables, and chairs in the house were arranged casually.
This added a sense of lived-in warmth to the entire large villa.
Perhaps hearing the commotion outside, a blonde lady wearing expensive jewelry around her neck and a cute apron walked out of the kitchen.
"Collins, do you know how worried Mom was when I came back and didn't see you..."
Ms. Anne, also known as Mrs. Tuohy, bypassed her husband to the back of the crowd and gave her daughter a big hug.
Then, the lady saw the handsome Mike beside her daughter. Mrs. Tuohy, who was emotional a second ago, abandoned her daughter the next second with stars in her eyes and went up to Mike.
Mrs. Tuohy, nearing forty this year, was very well-maintained, with an intellectual yet voluptuous beauty.
Her dress and makeup were also very appropriate, exuding the style of a wealthy lady. Standing with her daughter, her charm didn't lose out in the slightest.
Even in terms of temperament, she was more attractive than her daughter.
It is worth mentioning that this beautiful lady was also very caring; she was the one who first decided to adopt Big Mike.
Of course, Mrs. Tuohy, who had so many merits, also had her own quirk: she was an absolute member of the "appearance association."
To explain, she was a face-judger or a bit of a fangirl...
At this moment, the lady circled Mike twice without blinking as if drunk, then said enthusiastically, "You are the rising football star Mike. Collins' room is full of your posters. So, may I ask, are you dating my daughter now?"
Never underestimate the eye for beauty of an appearance lover.
"Mom~"
Seeing her mother's eyes almost stuck to Mike made Collins feel embarrassed and a little jealous at the same time.
"Collins, I didn't expect you really snagged this handsome guy. Good job~" Mrs. Tuohy quietly gave her daughter a thumbs up, then winked encouragingly.
As if feeling her daughter had taken a huge advantage.
"Anne, this kid is staying for lunch. Go make something delicious to treat our guest properly." Seeing his wife's fangirl behavior, Mr. Sean had the urge to cover his face.
He even started doubting if inviting Mike into the house was the correct decision.
Judging from the current situation, executing the interrogation plan seemed hopeless if relying on his wife.
Mr. Sean couldn't be blamed for misjudging.
After all, during the previous Spring Football Invitational, the couple had discussed the issue of their daughter dating because of Mike.
At that time, Mrs. Tuohy's attitude wasn't like this.
Who knew that under the close-range attack of Mike's good looks, she would completely forget her stance.
In summary, it can only be said that Mr. Sean underestimated the lethality of good looks on a face-judger.
"OK~"
Hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Tuohy nodded, then looked at Mike again and asked, "Mike, is there anything you want to eat? How about a seafood feast?"
"I'm fine with anything~" Mike answered obediently.
This obedient appearance satisfied Mrs. Tuohy very much. After admiring Mike's looks for a few more seconds, the lady reluctantly went to the kitchen.
"Mike, make yourself comfortable. Little Sean, get Mike something to drink..." After arranging for Mike, Mr. Sean said to the remaining two in the room, "Collins, Big Mike, come with me for a moment, I have something to discuss with you."
Although his wife was a bit unreliable, Mr. Sean decided to properly plan the subsequent interrogation.
"Mike, what do you want to drink? Juice, milk, coffee... or some beer?" After his father left, Little Sean obviously relaxed.
"None of those, just give me a bottle of ice water." Mike suggested. Drinking a glass of ice water in the hot summer felt good too.
Hearing this, Little Sean went to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of mineral water, threw it to Mike, took a box of strawberry yogurt for himself, and slumped back into the huge sofa.
After tasting the drink, Little Sean turned his head and said, "You better be careful later, my dad is probably thinking of ways to deal with you."
"Thanks for the reminder~" Mike smiled without much reaction. Such things were expected and not worth being too surprised about.
"Sigh, the adult world is really complicated~" Little Sean suddenly lamented.
"Why do you say that?" Looking at his little adult appearance, Mike found it amusing.
This attitude was also present in Missy.
"Collins has reached the age to date. Even without you, someone else would appear. Compared to others, I think you are more suitable for Collins. My dad must know this too; his current worry is completely unnecessary..." Little Sean analyzed rationally.
The two had gotten to know each other through conflict, so Little Sean didn't resist Mike becoming his brother-in-law.
He even admired Mike's football ability a bit.
"Let's not talk about me, tell me about your situation. What hobbies do you have, what do you plan to do in the future?" Mike changed the topic.
The precocious Little Sean was a good insider and worth winning over from all aspects.
"I'm seven this year, currently in second grade. Like football, want to become a great professional football player in the future..." Still being a child, Little Sean didn't detect Mike's intention and was looking forward to the future.
Afterward, he lamented, "But judging from my family's genes, my wish to become a football player might not be realized. When I grow up, I'll probably take over my dad's business..."
Have to say, although Little Sean was very young, he was rarely sober about reality.
Mr. Sean's height belonged to the average category, not particularly tall or strong.
As his son, without considering genetic mutations, Little Sean's future physique might just be average.
And football is a sport that relies heavily on physical talent; ordinary people can't play it well.
If Little Sean insisted on taking the sports route, there was a high probability he would end up like another Georgie. Or rather, maybe not even up to Georgie's level.
After all, Georgie at least had a coach father who had played professional football matches.
"By the way, besides these, I also like collecting toys. There are many out-of-print toys in my room, want to go see?" It could be seen that Little Sean had a good mentality.
"Of course~" Mike didn't interrupt the other's enthusiasm.
Then the two went to the second floor, Little Sean's large independent room. In the spacious room, a shelf was specially set up, neatly arranging hardcore toys like Train Heroes, Transformers, Prehistoric Dinosaurs series, etc.
In some aspects, his hobbies were a bit like Young Sheldon's.
Just as Little Sean was excitedly promoting his toys to Mike, Mrs. Tuohy's voice came from downstairs: "Little Sean, time to eat. Bring Mike down quickly~"
"Oh, next time I have a chance, I'll introduce other toys to you..." Hearing his mother's urging, Little Sean shrugged, looking regretful.
Clearly, promoting one's hobbies to others can also be addictive.
