Chapter 34: As Beautiful as a Flower
“Don’t open the door yet.” Standing in front of William Scott’s house, Xenia Lewis took another deep breath before gesturing for William Scott to open the door.
William Scott chuckled before opening the door.
“Ah, Yvette, you’re really here!” The mont the door opened, his mother, Janna Sands, had already rushed in front of them. Her eyes were filled with stars as she stared at Xenia Lewis.
Xenia Lewis was shocked. Even if she had thought of a hundred different scenarios, she had never expected such a scene to appear. She stood rooted to the ground with her mouth agape, completely at a loss.
William Scott’s face darkened. He stuffed the bag of fruits into his mother’s hands and said, “Mom, can you be more restrained?”
Janna Sands’s body shook and she imdiately shouted excitedly, “She’s alive! It’s Yvette Quinn! I’ve really seen her alive! Son, am I dreaming? Pinch !”
William Scott’s face darkened once more as he placed his hand on his cheek. “Mom, I’m begging you. This is my girlfriend and your future daughter-in-law. Aren’t you… embarrassing yourself?”
“Future daughter-in-law…” Janna Sands’s body shook, and then an awkward expression appeared on her face. She said, “Yvette, don’t bla for being rude. I don’t like celebrities. I like strong won like you. I’m your fan. It’s my first ti seeing you. I’m really a little too excited.”
Xenia Lewis finally ca back to her senses and hurriedly said, “Auntie, look what you’re saying. I’m just an ordinary person.”
“How can you be ordinary? How can an ordinary person be so powerful at such a young age? A company with less than five million dollars in assets, and you’ve managed to achieve over a hundred million dollars in just two years. That’s simply amazing.”
Seeing that his mother’s eyes were about to sparkle again, William Scott hurriedly pushed her along and said, “Let’s not talk at the door. Let’s go in and have a chat.”
His mother quickly yelled, “Don’t push ! Don’t push ! Oh, Yvette! Co in! Co in!”
Finally, they entered the living room and sat on the couch. His mother, Janna Sands, grabbed Xenia Lewis’s hand and stared at her while nodding repeatedly. She said, “Beautiful, you’re really beautiful. You look much better in person than on the television or in photos on the Internet.”
......
“Thank you for your complint, Auntie.” Xenia Lewis’s adaptability was really strong. At this mont, she smiled and said, “Auntie, you must have been very beautiful when you were younger. You don’t even look old now.”
“This CEO is really different. She really knows how to talk. I feel so comfortable listening to her. What do you an I don’t look old at all. I’m already in my fifties.”
The corners of William Scott’s mouth twitched. His mother was totally acting like a brainless fan. Even if Xenia Lewis said that she was bad, she would still be grinning from ear to ear.
“I’m telling the truth. If Auntie wasn’t outstanding, how could she have such an outstanding son like William?”
“You’re right. Luckily, my genes are strong. If William was like his father, his life would be ruined and he wouldn’t be able to find you as his girlfriend.”
“Yes, yes, I can tell too. William is indeed like you,” Xenia Lewis said and even gave William Scott a mischievous look.
William Scott didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and didn’t interrupt them. He just let them continue chatting. The way his mother acted seed to have a benefit as well. That ant that she wouldn’t be able to see through problems or loopholes for the ti being. Xenia Lewis could do whatever she wanted.
However, when he saw his mother getting more and more excited and appeared unable to stop, William Scott coughed lightly and said, “Mom, shouldn’t we prepare dinner? We can talk after dinner.”
“Ah! Look at , I’m so excited that I forgot about such an important matter.” Janna Sands suddenly slapped her thigh and stood up. “Yvette, you just sit around. I’m going to start cooking now. The dishes are prepared and I just have to cook them. It’ll be done in a while.”
With that, she rushed into the kitchen.
“Auntie, you’re so interesting.” Xenia Lewis finally burst out laughing. Then, she quickly suppressed her laughter and stole a glance at the kitchen.
William Scott rolled his eyes. “You call this interesting? This is what it ans to be muddleheaded.”
“That’s because I’m carrying myself well and Auntie approves of .” Xenia Lewis raised his chin proudly.
“Yes, yes. You’re performing very well.”
“It’s not a performance, it’s just how I carry myself, you idiot.” Xenia Lewis pinched William Scott.
Janna Sands suddenly poked her head out from the kitchen and saw Xenia Lewis pinching William Scott’s waist with a look of reproach.
“You guys continue chatting. William, bring Yvette to your room to have a look.”
“Ah…” Only then did Xenia Lewis realize that Janna Sands had seen her small action. She quickly stopped and her face turned red. These two days, she and William Scott had been very casual. However, when soone suddenly saw them, she felt that their actions seed a little intimate.
Janna Sands laughed happily and said, “William, why are you still sitting there in a daze? Go quickly.”
William Scott brought Xenia Lewis to his room and closed the door.
Xenia Lewis crossed her arms in front of her chest and pouted. “What are you trying to do?”
William Scott was a little speechless. “What else can I do… Of course, I’m just afraid that Mom will see through .”
“Hehe, of course I know, I was just teasing you.” Xenia Lewis imdiately winked cheekily. Then, she put her hands behind her back and walked around the room. Looking around, she said, “Your room is too simple.”
“How complicated can a room be for a grown man? Take a seat.”
Xenia Lewis smiled wickedly and said, “I heard that n’s rooms have so special pictures. Do you have any?”
William Scott instantly made Xenia Lewis laugh and said, “Pfft, I’m not a little boy, how can I do those things?”
Other than a bed, there was only a small desk in William Scott’s room. This small desk was the sa one he had used while he was still studying. It had been kept all these years and nothing had been added to it since his return.”
Xenia Lewis sat on the bed and supported herself on the bed with both hands. She even shook it a few tis and said, “The bed isn’t very soft either.”
“I bought this bed when I was in high school. It’s quite old. Why? Do you think my family is poor?”
“I, Yvette Quinn, am not that kind of person. I’ve taken a liking to you. It’s enough that you have . From now on, I’ll be responsible for earning money to support the family. I’ll be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower. Oh, then what are you going to do?”
She started off by imitating Yvette Quinn’s tone, but after that, she resud her lively style.
“Haha, you’re right. You’ve taken care of everything. I really have nothing to do.”
“You… Why don’t you be in charge of being as beautiful as a flower? Co, co, Flower, give a smile.” Xenia Lewis reached out and lifted William Scott’s chin. She was simply a pretty female hooligan.
