It only took about 20 minutes from getting into the car to the bus stop. Yvette Quinn basically gave William Scott instructions all the way. She did not know much he could remember.
Just as she reached the exit, Yvette Quinn saw her parents walking out from inside. Her heart tensed up as she hurried over to William Scott and whispered into his ear, “My parents are out. As long as you perform well, I’ll definitely thank you heavily later.”
William Scott grinned at her. “No need to thank me. I want you to remember that my performance will be your role model in front of my parents.”
Yvette Quinn met William Scott’s gaze and nodded. “Okay!”
“Dad, Mom! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” Yvette Quinn complained as she held her mother’s arm.
“Hmph, why do you think I’m here?” Yvonne Shaw snorted and looked at William Scott.
“Long time no see, Yvette.”
There was a young man following behind Yvette Quinn’s parents. He walked over and gave Yvette Quinn a bright smile.
“Larry Zion!” Yvette Quinn’s mouth twitched, and her expression turned unnatural.
This Larry Zion was groomed by her father and her father liked him a lot. He was only 28 this year and had graduated from military school to join the army. He was already a major before, and now, he was a section chief with a promising future.
However, Yvette Quinn did not want to fall in love so early. Most importantly, she really did not have any feelings for Larry Zion. Who would have thought that her parents would bring Larry Zion here? They were clearly forcing her to fall in love.
It was fortunate that she had found a fake boyfriend like William Scott this time, which gave her a good excuse. However… she glanced at William Scott. Could this guy really gain her parents’ approval and help her get through this ordeal with his mischievous look? She really did not have the confidence.
“Dad, Mom, let me introduce you…” Yvette Quinn changed the topic. “This is William Scott, my boyfriend.”
......
William Scott stepped forward and greeted politely, “Hello Uncle and Auntie.”
It was as if Yvette Quinn’s parents had only just noticed William Scott. They nodded. “I’m not used to you having a boyfriend all of a sudden.”
William Scott smiled and said, “I’ve heard Yvette mention Uncle and Auntie before. Today, I’ve truly seen you in person. Uncle’s bearing is indeed extraordinary. Auntie is also noble and generous. Furthermore, you look really young.”
“Hmph, glib-tongued!” Yvette Quinn’s father snorted, looking displeased.
“D*mn! This is bootlicking!” William Scott did not know whether to laugh or cry.
After feeling some awkwardness, Yvette Quinn quickly said, “Mom, Dad, it’s too warm here. Let’s talk at home.”
Half an hour later, they arrived at Yvette Quinn’s house.
The house Yvette Quinn lived in was about a thousand square feet. There were two bedrooms and the living room was spacious. The decor was simple but it was a little messy. Luckily, there was nothing too messy in the living room.
Everyone sat on the couch in the living room. Yvonne Shaw gave Larry Zion a look and then pulled Yvette Quinn along to talk to her. She didn’t ask William Scott and didn’t want Yvette Quinn to ruin it.
Larry Zion chuckled and said to William Scott, “William, I’ve known Yvette for many years and I’ve always liked her. I didn’t expect her to suddenly have a boyfriend. This is very surprising. I wonder where you are working at now?”
William Scott said naturally, “I’ve just transferred out of the army and haven’t thought about what to do yet.”
When Yvette Quinn heard William Scott’s words, she panicked and her face darkened.
Didn’t we agree that you were a Vice President? Why did you suddenly change?! Why did you have to say that you were a retired soldier? Can you be more reliable? Are you here to help or to ruin things?!
Larry Zion shook his head and said, “William, you’ve surprised me. I know Yvette very well. She’s outstanding and has a strong personality. She also has high standards for finding a boyfriend. You…”
William Scott smiled. “What? You mean… I’m very bad?”
A sense of superiority arose in Larry Zion’s heart. He sneered and said, “Haha, I just transferred to the military last year. When I transferred, I was a major and a battalion-level officer. Now, I’m the head of the Environmental Protection Bureau. Yvette has never liked me. With your qualities… how could she like you?”
At this moment, William Scott rubbed his nose and chuckled. “Well, things seem pretty good for you.”
However, everyone could tell from William Scott’s attitude that he did not think highly of Larry Zion’s position.
Yoel Quinn snorted, while Larry Zion frowned and said unhappily, “William, what position did you hold when you were in the army?”
