Chapter 91: Determined
At five o’clock the next morning, just as the sky turned bright, people were already up. For today’s celebration, the banquet was held in the courtyard of the house. The chef had already started working in the courtyard early before dawn.
When there was noise, William Scott woke up and felt his arm had gone numb.
He turned around and saw Xenia Lewis curled up beside him. Her head was resting on his arm, and one of her arms was pressed against his chest. Her leg was also wrapped around his leg.
This scene seed a little erotic, but he only felt very warm. He gently patted her shoulder and whispered, “Xenia, it’s ti to get up. Everyone will be up soon.”
“Oh…” Xenia Lewis muttered vaguely, but she did not open her eyes at all. Instead, she snuggled closer to William Scott.
She was snuggling up to him as if he was a big doll.
Helpless, William Scott could only turn around and whisper in her ear, “Why don’t you sleep for another twenty minutes? I’ll get up first.”
“Oh…” Xenia Lewis muttered vaguely again, but she quickly opened her eyes and said, “It’s dawn?” Subconsciously, she was aware that she had to get up at dawn.
William Scott smiled and said, “That’s right. You can sleep for a few more minutes. I’ll get up first and wake you up later.”
“No, I have to get up too,” Xenia Lewis quickly said. Then, she suddenly let out a low cry and hurriedly sat up. Her face was crimson. She glanced at William Scott and suddenly kicked him. “Jerk! What did you do last night? I was clearly sleeping properly before I fell asleep. Why did you hug ?”
William Scott couldn’t help but smile. This was clearly an accusation. He sat up and said, “I don’t sleep properly. Sorry, I’ll get up first and get so water for you.”
When Xenia Lewis saw William Scott leave, she touched her face, which was burning hot.?“Damn, this is really embarrassing. I actually hugged him to sleep.”
When he returned with the water, she had already changed into her clothes and she was no longer blushing. Then, she washed her face and started to put on makeup. Today was an important occasion, so she had to dress up more beautifully.
......
The two of them didn’t ntion their sleeping positions last night, and it seed less awkward.
After tidying up, they left the room together.
There were a lot of people outside by this ti. Other than so children who were still asleep, the relatives were all awake.
Janna Sands walked over and held Xenia Lewis’ hand. She sized her up and said with a smile, “Yvette, you didn’t sleep well yesterday, right? There’s no air conditioning here, and the bed definitely won’t be as comfortable as yours.”
Xenia Lewis’ face couldn’t help but turn red. She said, “It was very cool at night. It’s even better than air-conditioning. I’m not that pampered.”
Noticing Xenia Lewis’ blushing face, Janna Sands was overjoyed. She held her hand and said, “Yes, yes. When we get back, I’ll change William’s bed to a bigger one with a good mattress. Oh right, I’ll also change the air conditioner to a better one for you. You’ll feel more comfortable this way.”
When William Scott heard this, his face turned grim. As for Xenia Lewis, her face was so red that it was about to bleed. She was simply too obvious. How could she not tell? For a mont, she was at a loss and did not know how to answer. Her head was almost hanging to her chest.
“Yvette, let’s go over there and take a look.” William Scott quickly pulled Xenia Lewis away. Otherwise, his mother might say sothing else.
“I’m sorry. My mother can’t wait for to get married and give her a grandson.”
“I can understand,” she replied softly with a red face.
William Scott continued, “You don’t have to take it to heart. She has always been like that. After today is over, she will forget about it in two days.”
“Okay.” Xenia Lewis nodded again.
Soon, the entire Scott family beca lively. Almost everyone in the village would be present for the celebration. William Scott and his family were naturally in charge of entertaining the guests. All of them were extrely busy.
When it was halfway through the birthday celebration, the atmosphere reached a climax. The grandchildren offered gifts one after another. William Scott and Xenia Lewis gave Grandma a deer-shaped pendant made of jade, which symbolized longevity. Although this jade necklace was not as valuable as Grandma’s bracelet, it was still worth about twenty thousand dollars.
However, no one knew what was its worth. William Scott did not want to show off either. It was just a token of his appreciation.
The birthday banquet only ended at three in the afternoon. William Scott and his family bade farewell to everyone.
Grandma held Xenia Lewis’ hand and said reluctantly, “Second granddaughter-in-law…” In the Scotts family, Brian Scott was the eldest, while William Scott was the second.
“If you’re free in the future, co here and visit .”
Xenia Lewis hurriedly agreed, “Grandma, I’ll definitely co often.”
“I will be waiting for you and William to get married soon and then I can have a great-grandson.”
Many people had ntioned this today. Initially Xenia Lewis was embarrassed, but as ti passed, she had already gotten used to it. She smiled and said, “Grandma, we won’t take too long. You have to attend our wedding banquet.”
Grandma laughed heartily and said, “As long as I can still move, I’ll definitely attend. It’s definitely our ancestors’ blessing that the Scotts can have such a good granddaughter-in-law.”
No matter how reluctant they were, everyone still had to leave. Graham Scott still had to go back as well. As for the fake Yvette Quinn, she was a busy CEO and couldn’t stay here for too long.
After everyone sent them off, William Scott and his family finally drove away.
“I’m really proud this ti. This is the first ti I’ve ever felt so proud at your family gathering.” In the car, Janna Sands began to exclaim.
Graham Scott snorted. “That’s all because of Yvette. Why are you so smug?”
Janna Sands imdiately said, “Yvette is my daughter-in-law. Her glory is also my glory. Right, Yvette?”
Xenia Lewis quickly chid in, “Yes, yes. I have to make you proud.”
Janna Sands was even more smug. “Look at how sweet Yvette is. Hubby, don’t ruin the atmosphere right now.”
After spending two days together, Xenia Lewis had almost integrated into their family. At this mont, she was completely relaxed. She chatted and laughed in the car and was not lonely at all. After a four-hour drive, she actually realized they were back
After sending his parents ho, William Scott went to send her ho. In the car, he frowned and said, “Xenia, there seems to be a problem.”
“What problem?” Xenia Lewis was still imrsed in joy and asked casually.
“You slept in the sa room as this ti. My mother will definitely want Yvette to do that in the future. So we must talk to Yvette first, right?”
“Ah!” Xenia Lewis exclaid, her expression turning ugly.
