Chapter 95: Mom’s Swiftness
“Ask Yvette to come over for dinner tonight.”
In the afternoon, Janna Sands sent a message to William Scott.
“There’s no need to see her every day, right?” William Scott felt a throbbing headache. It was only Monday. On Sunday, Janna Sands had just met ‘Yvette Quinn’.
“I’m asking you to ask her. If you won’t, I will.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll contact her. But if she doesn’t have time, then forget it.”
“What do you mean she doesn’t have time? Even if she doesn’t have time, she still has to eat, right? Don’t give me all kinds of excuses.”
Helpless, William Scott could only send a message to Yvette Quinn.
There was a long pause before she replied. “Okay, I’ll be there around seven.”
William Scott informed his mother about it. She immediately replied proudly, “Look, it’s not that Yvette doesn’t want to come. It’s just that you don’t want to take the initiative. You’re a man. You don’t even understand this.”
William Scott was quite busy in the afternoon. When he arrived home, it was almost seven o’clock. He happened to meet Yvette Quinn at the entrance of the district.
“What a coincidence.” William Scott smiled and greeted her.
“You’re back so late too.” Yvette Quinn smiled.
“There’s a lot going on today.”
......
Yvette Quinn said, “By the way, what are you doing currently? You haven’t told me yet. If your mom asks, I don’t know how to answer.”
William Scott could clearly sense that Yvette Quinn was more serious about impersonating his girlfriend than before. He said, “I just started a company with someone. I’m a shareholder. It’s just the beginning.”
“What industry are you in? Is there anything I can do to help?”
William Scott said, “It’s the entertainment industry. We are producing videos.”
“Oh, then I can’t help you with that. I don’t understand it either. But Xenia has also started a similar company. I wonder how she is coping?”
William Scott said, “Xenia? Then I’ll have to ask her for guidance next time.”
Yvette Quinn frowned. “Forget it. She’s just fooling around all day. She’s not as reliable as you. If you listen to her ideas, it will cause trouble for your company.”
From Yvette Quinn’s words, William Scott vaguely understood something. Yvette Quinn did not look down on this industry, but rather, she was worried about Xenia Lewis.
William Scott said, “I don’t think Xenia is the type to fool around.”
Yvette Quinn replied, “Don’t be fooled by her appearance. She’s always coming up with ideas. But she is not thorough enough. I’ve mentioned it to her many times, but she won’t listen, so I can’t be bothered to nag at her. When she hits the wall, she’ll then reflect.”
William Scott didn’t say anything else. She said that because the two of them had different styles of handling things. Xenia Lewis did things according to her own preferences, and she cared more about the process and didn’t care about the outcome. As for Yvette Quinn, she had to consider the outcome first before deciding whether to do it or not.
Yvette Quinn was a businesswoman, while Xenia Lewis was a person who knew how to have fun.
It was no wonder that Xenia Lewis didn’t want to tell Yvette Quinn about their company.
The two of them chatted as they arrived at the house. William Scott took the key and opened the door.
Janna Sands stuck her head out of the kitchen with a proud smile. “You’re back. The food will be ready soon. You guys can go to the bedroom and talk for a while.”
William Scott immediately questioned, “You won’t be that fast, would you?”
“Go take a look and see if you’re satisfied!” Janna Sands grew even more smug. Then, she returned to the kitchen.
William Scott led Yvette Quinn to his bedroom. Looking at the brand new bedroom, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
At this moment, Yvette Quinn was also dumbfounded. She scrutinized everything in the room and blushed.
The air conditioner and bed were new. In the past, William Scott bed was a single bed. Now, it became a massive king-sized bed.
That was not all. What made them most speechless was that there was a bright red blanket on the bed. The pillows had also been replaced with a red pillowcase. The only thing missing was the word “happiness” embroidered on the blanket cover.
“This… my mother is too much.” The corners of William Scott’s mouth twitched.
“Haha!” Yvette Quinn actually laughed. Then she covered her mouth and sat down on the bed. “Not bad. It is very comfortable.”
William Scott looked at her in surprise. “You’re fine with it?”
The corners of Yvette Quinn’s lips curled up. “You can try it too. It’s indeed very comfortable. She must have put in a lot of effort.”
William Scott didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I feel like this room is like a brand new house for newlyweds. I’m afraid my mother will make you try it tonight.”
Yvette Quinn stiffened. “Are you serious?”
William Scott only shrugged.
The corners of William Scott’s mouth twitched. She didn’t need William Scott to give her an answer. She actually knew the answer. She looked at him and said, “Then what should we do?”
He said without hesitation, “What else can we do? You can’t possibly stay here.”
“That’s true. That’s the only way.” Yvette Quinn shook her head. This was really awkward.
“How is it? How is it? Are you satisfied?” Before Janna Sands entered, her voice sounded from outside.
Yvette Quinn and William Scott quickly adjusted their expressions. Yvette Quinn stood up.
Janna Sands came in and looked at Yvette Quinn expectantly. “Yvette, what do you think of the bed? I know that you young people might not like this color, but I feel that it’s a joyous occasion when you come to our house. It’s something worth celebrating, so we have to create this joyous atmosphere. We’ll buy this red color first. You can change it when you like something in the future.”
Under her eager gaze, how could Yvette Quinn say anything wrong? She quickly said, “Auntie, I think this color is quite nice. Also, the bed is very comfortable. I sat on it just now to try it.”
Janna Sands was overjoyed. She held Yvette Quinn’s hand and said, “That’s great! I know you’re busy, so I didn’t ask you for your opinion. Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who has to interfere in everything. I just didn’t want to bother you. If you have any thoughts, let me know. I’ll change it immediately.”
Yvette Quinn quickly said, “No need, it’s fine. I feel that this is pretty good. Auntie, you don’t have to do so much. You’ve already worried so much for us. I’m so grateful.”
Janna Sands was delighted by Yvette Quinn’s thoughtfulness. She nodded repeatedly and said, “You’re really understanding. Let’s go and have dinner first. I cooked cod with tofu today and I specially bought a huge one. It’s very fresh.”
William Scott silently followed behind the women and couldn’t help but shake his head. Why did he feel that it would be a little difficult for her to get away tonight?
