The car pulled into the circular driveway of the Song estate, its tires crunching softly against the gravel. The doors of the mansion opened just as the car came to a full stop, and Song Yue walked out, a smile on his lips.
"Welcome home."
Kai stepped out first, then turned to offer Amelia his hand. She took it with a small smile and stepped out beside him. The moment her heels touched the ground, Song Yue walked toward them and, without pause, opened his arms toward her.
"My future granddaughter-in-law," he said warmly, pulling her into a firm but gentle hug.
Amelia stiffened slightly from the suddenness of it, blinking in surprise then smiled as she returned the embrace.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir—"
But before she could even fully relax, she felt Kai's hand at her waist as he smoothly pulled her back toward him.
"That's enough hugging, old man," Kai muttered under his breath.
