NovelEnglishChapter 299 Not Easy to Deal With
Eric could catch the sarcasm in Mary’s words, but what could be done about it?
He wanted Chaim to marry Samara and make her part of the Humphrey family, so he had to play weak.
Eric smiled and decided to play dumb. “Mrs. Novak has a point. That’s why I hope you agree that
Samara can join the Humphrey family through marriage.”
“Young people may care little about manners, but we, as elders, cannot let them off the hook. We
understand that young lovers are impulsive and have difficulty controlling themselves when they fall in
love, and we don’t blame them. Besides, it’s mainly Chaim’s fault, as a man, for not protecting Samara
well. But now that the word has spread, and Novak and Humphrey are both prestigious surnames, I

“In this way, the malicious gossip will soon fade away. Mr. and Mrs. Novak, do you agree?”
How dare he talk like that!
Mary suppressed her anger. If it weren’t for the reputation of the two families, she would have given
Eric a good scolding.
Kadin looked offended, too. What Eric said seemed to be for Samara’s benefit, but it actually wasn’t.
Nowadays, people were open–minded. Samara and Chaim hadn’t gotten back together yet, and even if
they did, it was normal for young couples to have fun. How could Eric make it sound like they were
cheating and committing adultery?
“Mr. Humphrey, no offense, but I can’t quite agree with you. Only Samara and Chaim know how their
relationship is now and how it will develop in the future. As parents, it is better for us to interfere less in
our children’s lives. You have good intentions, but young people today are very opinionated. Excessive
involvement will subvert your good intentions into a thankless position.”
Eric looked slightly embarrassed. “Mr. Novak, you have a good point. But honestly, I can see that
Chaim and Samara really like each other. It’s hard for kids from families like ours to meet their true
love, not to mention get married. I truly hope to become a great–grandfather soon.”
“I fully understand how you feel. We are also parents and want them to be happy as well. But regarding
relationships and marriage, my wife and I have always respected Samara’s ideas to live her life the
way she likes. We support any relationship as long as it makes her happy and well–protected.”
Eric knew before he arrived that the marriage could not be settled easily. So, as soon as Kadin
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmchanged the subject, he responded naturally, “Mr. Novak, you’re right. One must marry out of true love
so that one can live happily after marriage.”
Kadin also began to echo Eric’s words. They continued talking, and the topic changed.
When Eric left the Novak’s house, it was already after eight o’clock in the evening-
As soon as Eric left, the atmosphere in the house started to get tense. Both Mary and Kadin looked
angry.
“How could the Humphrey family behave like this? They used to bully Samara, and now they come to
ask her to marry into their family. How shameful! Are they trying to humiliate us with a wedding gift?
We’re not as cheap as they are!”
Mary was furious. Kadin angrily cursed, “The Humphrey family will do anything for profit!”
He was impressed today, as Eric was always on a high horse, but today, facing his and Mary’s
sarcasm, Eric was able to smile calmly.
They had to admit that it wasn’t easy to deal with Eric.
However, why did he have to make things difficult for them?
