Chapter 71: 71

“Yvette, do you have time to come to our place for dinner today?”

When Yvette Quinn saw the message from Janna Sands, she wanted to reject her right away. But in the end she changed her mind. Instead, she deleted her draft and typed again: Thank you, Auntie Janna. I’ll be there around seven.

“Okay, great. I’ll get the groceries right away. Is there anything you want to eat?”

“I … I like salmon stew with tofu.”

“No problem. I know a shop that sells the freshest fish, and a shop that makes the softest tofu.”

Yvette Quinn felt a little embarrassed to make such a request, but she could clearly feel Janna Sands’ excitement. She was just like her mother. Her mother would always frown when she said anything, but as long as she said what she wanted to eat, her mother would happily prepare it immediately, no matter how troublesome.

She had been under too much pressure for the past two days, so she needed to relax. Her parents were far away. Besides, she didn’t want them to worry about her.

Xenia Lewis was her cousin, and they were close. However, Yvette Quinn did not want to bother her about work.

As for Janna Sands, her fake mother-in-law, she cared for her like a mother. Then, there were no other conflicts involved. Furthermore, she did not have to think too much about other rumors. It was the best place to let her relax.

……

William Scott and Xenia Lewis had been busy for the entire day. When it was almost time to get off work, she came to his office.

Looking at the sly glint in Xenia Lewis’ eyes, William Scott knew that she must have something to tell him. “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush.”

Xenia Lewis giggled and said, “Um… I want to eat the food your mom cooks.”

William Scott was taken aback for a moment before smiling. “Are you trying to pretend to be your sister again so that you can come to my house for a free meal?”

“Hehe, how could you put it that way? Yvette is so busy that she doesn’t have time to accompany your mom. I happen to have time, so I’ll accompany her on her behalf. This will also strengthen her relationship with Auntie. Isn’t it wonderful for the mother-in-law to get along with your wife? Aren’t you glad?”

William Scott grinned and said, “You can come up with so many reasons to have a free meal. I’m really impressed. However, since you said so much, I can only agree.”

“I knew you wouldn’t say no. But… don’t you have to ask my sister and check with her?”

William Scott replied, “There isn’t a need. If she were to go to my house, she would definitely inform me. She’s been quite busy these days and probably won’t be in the mood to have a meal.”

Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes at him and said, “Since you know that she’s busy, why don’t you care more about her? What kind of boyfriend are you?”

“Of course I care for her. I just didn’t tell you everything.”

Xenia Lewis continued, “That’s true. Oh right, oh right, if we go to your place, should we tell Auntie first?”

William Scott smiled and said, “You’re hoping that my mother will prepare two more dishes for you.” However, it was better to let his mother know when he brought his girlfriend home.

He dialed his mother’s number. After a long moment, she answered.

“Mom, I’m bringing Yvette home for dinner tonight.”

“I know, I know. I’m buying groceries now.”

“Oh, okay. Then go ahead.” William Scott hung up the phone. Why did he feel that his mother’s reaction sounded a little dull? However, on second thought, this was normal. This was already the third visit. His mother wouldn’t be so excited.

How could he have known that his mother had already contacted Yvette Quinn in advance? She had assumed that the real Yvette Quinn was coming, so she was naturally not surprised.

“Auntie doesn’t want me to go?” Xenia Lewis asked nervously when she noticed William Scott’s strange expression.

William Scott smiled and said, “How is that possible? She happens to be at the supermarket. I reckon she is buying more groceries now.”

“I feel like salivating now when I think of her food.” Xenia Lewis swallowed hard, like a greedy little cat.

Just after six o’clock, the two of them packed up. After leaving the company, they went to a nearby supermarket to buy some fruits before heading to William Scott’s house.

The two of them arrived. William Scott had the key with him, but since he had Xenia Lewis with him, it was better to knock on the door so that his mother could be prepared.

There were two knocks on the door before an answer came from inside. “Coming!”

The voice that came through the security door was not particularly clear, but William Scott’s ears were quite sharp, and he immediately recognized it. “Yvette is inside.”

“Ah!” Xenia Lewis was dumbfounded. Her face turned pale from fear. She felt as if she had been caught red-handed.

At this moment, William Scott did not panic. Even if the two of them were to bump into each other, it did not seem like a big deal. At most, he would just confess.

The sound of the door opening had already sounded. The moment the door opened, Xenia Lewis suddenly went behind William Scott and hid behind him.

Then, she grabbed his shirt tightly with both hands. Even her nails dug into his flesh.

William Scott could feel Xenia Lewis’ hands trembling. He knew that at this moment, she definitely did not want to be exposed by Yvette Quinn.

The door finally opened. Yvette Quinn stood at the door and looked at William Scott. She did not spot Xenia Lewis. William Scott was considered quite burly. Although Xenia Lewis was not petite, she was very slender. Furthermore, she had deliberately shrunk herself, so she managed to conceal herself.

“You’re back.” When the door opened, Yvette Quinn stood inside and took the fruits from William Scott.

He was stunned for a moment. This feeling… made him feel strange with a special warmth.

“I didn’t tell you that I came on my own. You won’t blame me, will you?” Yvette Quinn turned to glance at the kitchen and asked quietly.

William Scott smiled and said, “Certainly not. If you’re free, come over any time for a meal. You can treat it as accompanying my mother. I still have to thank you.”

“Why aren’t you coming in?” Yvette Quinn looked at him in confusion.

Behind William Scott, Xenia Lewis trembled and pinched his waist. This made him grit his teeth. Did she have to be like this?

“I have to change my shoes. You’re blocking the shoe cabinet.” William Scott grinned. His grin was actually to hide his pain.

Yvette Quinn took two quick steps back. “I didn’t notice. Come in.”

Yvette Quinn was still facing the door. If William Scott took a step forward, she would definitely see Xenia Lewis behind him.

However, if William Scott couldn’t even deal with such a situation, then he wouldn’t be the strongest captain of Beast Howl nor would he be the head of the Storm Mercenary Corps. He took out his phone from his pocket and said. “Xavier, what’s the matter? Oh… oh…”

As William Scott spoke, Yvette Quinn turned around and walked into the living room.

William Scott’s other hand went behind him and gently pushed Xenia Lewis away.

She immediately understood and rushed over to open the door. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

Even William Scott was dumbfounded by her speed.
