Chapter 1392

[ 554 words ]

“No, seriously, does Ms. Langley know about this?”

Clark took a step forward, glaring at the back of the woman’s head, visibly angered. Ms. Langley was his absolute idol.

“Do you even hear what’s coming out of your mouth?” Jimmie set down his water glass, grabbed Luella’s phone, and stepped forward to pull the “beautiful woman” into his arms.

“Hello, Clark,” Luella turned around, greeting him with a smile. “Long time no see.”

She hadn’t expected him to be so fiercely loyal.

“M-Ms. Langley!!!”

Clark rubbed his eyes, staring at the gorgeous woman in sheer disbelief. “Am I seeing things? How did you turn into a woman?”

“?”

Luella’s smile stiffened. A displeased smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth as she stated seriously, “I was always a woman!”

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” Clark hastily apologized, still reeling from the shock. “I meant… why are you dressing like a woman again?”

“I honestly thought some death-wish side chick had snuck in to seduce my boss.”

“Your work attitude is commendable.”

Luella stepped forward, patting Clark on the shoulder with a solemn nod. “I’m doubling your salary next month. Keep up the good work.”

“Huh?”

Clark was completely bewildered again. Why was he suddenly getting a raise?

“If she says you get a raise, you get a raise,” Jimmie chuckled indulgently.

“Thank you, Ms. Langley. Thank you, boss.” The entirely baffled assistant nodded blankly.

“I’m leaving the brat with you,” Luella said, turning a strict gaze on Jared. “Behave yourself. No messing around. Otherwise, you know what happens.”

“I know.”

Jared nodded obediently, whispering, “If I don’t behave, I get thrown in the trash can.”

“Glad you remember.”

Luella’s lips twitched as she fought back a laugh. “I’ll bring you something good to eat when I get back tonight.”

“Thanks, Sis!”

Jared’s head snapped up, instantly thrilled.

Typical kid.

So easy to please.

Cloudscape Community.

Luella and Jimmie sat together.

When she had presented as a man, she could cross her legs and slouch however she wanted.

But now, dressed as a woman, and formally meeting her future in-laws, she kept her knees neatly pressed together and her hands resting politely in her lap, looking the picture of high-society elegance.

Faced with Luella’s sudden shift in both gender presentation and demeanor,

Juniper, Shanley, Theia, and Silas were all visibly stunned.

Juniper: “?”

Shanley: “??”

Theia: “???”

Silas: “????”

Four people, eight eyes, all glued to Luella’s face.

Their expressions varied, but they shared one common thread: absolute shock and curiosity.

Luella glanced up timidly, looking back at them with profound awkwardness.

She felt like a zoo exhibit.

Did she look that bad dressed as a woman?

But Jimmie had said she looked beautiful!

“Mom, Dad!”

Jimmie squeezed Luella’s fidgeting hand, frowning slightly. “I didn’t bring the wrong person. It’s really Luella!”

“Oh.”

Theia finally snapped out of it, throwing an elbow into her still-dumbstruck husband to feign composure. “Luella, we are just an ittle surprised, thats all. Please don’t overthink it.”

They had finally accepted that their future daughter-in-law was a man.

And before they could even fully process that…

Their son-in-law was suddenly a daughter-in-law again!

The sheer whiplash was too much; they needed a minute to recalibrate.

“Mr. Blackwood, Theia,” Luella offered a polite greeting, her tone apologetic. “I didn’t

mean to keep it a secret from you two, it’s just that my father…”

“We know,” Theia interrupted with a

warm smile. Let the past stay in the past. As long as you and Jimmie are happy together, that’s all that

matters If he ever dares

mistreat

you, just tell Juniper to teach him a

lesson.”
