Chapter 96: It’s Not That Easy To Leave
Graham Scott left again, so there were still three people having dinner. Janna Sands offered Yvette Quinn food from time to time.
“Yvette, eat more cod. It is very good for you. You use your brain too much every day, so you need to nourish yourself.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Yvette Quinn was really touched. She ate all the cod that Janna Sands had offered her.
Seeing that Yvette Quinn was enjoying the food, Janna Sands was even happier. She said, “Yvette, you’re working too hard. Money can’t be earned in a day or two. You have to rest whenever you need to. Don’t think about your company or anything work-related tonight. Just chat with me and relax.”
Yvette Quinn nodded repeatedly. “Yes, sure. I don’t want to think about work anymore.”
The meal did not take too long. After the meal, Yvette Quinn helped Janna Sands to clear the dishes. This time, Janna Sands did not stop her. Instead, she worked with her and they chatted as they worked.
William Scott gazed at the two of them. Why did he feel that they were getting along too well?
After cleaning up, Yvette Quinn sat on the sofa. She stroked her abdomen and said, “Auntie, I’m really a little full today. If this continues, I’ll really gain weight.”
“You’re too thin now. Even if you gain another ten kg, you won’t look fat. Besides, you will look healthier. Women don’t look better the thinner they are. You have to have a little weight. Besides, if you get pregnant and have children in the future, you have to have a healthy body. If you’re too thin, it won’t be good for the baby.”
Yvette Quinn immediately felt a little awkward. William Scott quickly interjected, “Mom, aren’t you a little too anxious?”
Janna Sands chuckled and said, “Yes, I know I’m too anxious. I also know that Yvette is busy with her career now and doesn’t have time to have a child. Don’t worry about that. I definitely won’t force you. I’m very open-minded. However, if… I mean, if she really gets pregnant accidentally, I still hope that she can give birth. Of course, this is what I hope. If you don’t want the baby, I’ll support you.”
William Scott rolled his eyes and said, “Mom, can we change the topic?”
Janna Sands laughed and said, “Yes, all right. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Yvette, you should know a lot about cosmetics, right? My skin feels a little bad recently. I want to buy cosmetics. Can you advise me?”
......
Finally less embarrassed, Yvette Quinn said, “I think your skin is pretty good.”
“Good? How can my skin be as good as yours? My skin is so loose. Women are most afraid of getting old. If I don’t pay attention to my skin, I’ll really become an old lady in a few years.”
“It’s not that serious. Your foundation is still very good. I feel that very few people your age can be compared to you. I do know of a brand that should suit your skin.”
“All right, tell me.” After saying that, Janna Sands looked at William Scott and said, “We will be chatting. Go do what you need to do.”
William Scott really had no interest in this stuff. He quickly stood up and said, “You ladies continue chatting. I’m going back to my room.”
When he returned to his room, Yasmin Sun happened to send him a message. She had some ideas, but she couldn’t decide, so she wanted to ask for his opinion.
Of course, William Scott was not a professional either. He simply added Yasmin Sun and Xenia Lewis into a group chat so that the three of them can discuss.
Xenia Lewis and Yasmin Sun were the main driving forces. From time to time, William Scott would give some suggestions and share his views. And he indeed brought about some unexpected ideas.
After the discussion, William Scott looked at the time and saw that it was already past ten. He stretched and grabbed a change of clothes, wanting to take a shower and sleep.
“Damn, Yvette is still here.” It was only then that he noticed that Yvette Quinn and Janna Sands were still chatting while watching television in the living room.
Seeing the clothes that he was carrying, Yvette Quinn was stunned for a moment.
William Scott knew that she had misunderstood and thought that he wanted her to stay tonight.
“Yvette, I’m really sorry. I was too engrossed in my work just now and forgot that you were still here. I was thinking about taking a shower and going to bed.” At this time, any explanation would be honest.
Janna Sands immediately glared at him and said, “Are you serious? How can you forget about your girlfriend? Are you asking for a beating? Yvette, teach this brat a lesson. I’ll definitely support you. He is a little arrogant. You have to stop him from having such thoughts.”
Yvette Quinn was actually feeling a little uncomfortable. William Scott looked like he had joined forces with Janna Sands to make her stay. However, when she heard his reason, she understood. She was also a workaholic. Once she worked, she would forget about food and sleep, and everything around her.
“Auntie, this is because he is serious about his work. I can understand.”
Janna Sands shook her head and said earnestly, “You’re spoiling him. You really can’t spoil a man. The more you spoil him, the more overboard he becomes.”
William Scott’s face darkened. “Mom, are you my biological mother or not?”
Janna Sands glared at him and said, “Nonsense, but Yvette is also my daughter-in-law. Don’t you know? A mother-in-law has to be on the same side as her daughter-in-law. Only then can the family live together harmoniously. So I will definitely support Yvette.”
William Scott rolled his eyes. “All right. But it’s getting late. She still has to work tomorrow. I’ll send her home.”
“Go home? Go home for what? It’s already so late. Just stay here.” Janna Sands acted as if it was only right and proper.
William Scott coughed lightly and said, “Yvette isn’t used to sleeping outside.”
“What kind of reason is that? Didn’t you sleep well at your grandmother’s house previously?”
William Scott felt a headache coming on and quickly said, “She still has to change her clothes tomorrow.”
“She can change tomorrow morning.”
William Scott could only use his final trump card and say, “All right, Mom, I’ll send Yvette back and stay at her house.”
“I see… I have already prepared your room. This is equivalent to moving to a new house. You have to stay here on the first day. If you don’t stay here, it won’t be auspicious. Why don’t you stay here tonight? If you don’t want to stay here in the future, you can go elsewhere next time?”
William Scott was really impressed that his mother could think of such a reason. He grinned and said, “But she didn’t bring her pajamas.”
Janna Sands suddenly turned around and entered her bedroom. In the blink of an eye, she walked out again. She waved the bag in her hand happily and said, “Here! I’ve bought pajamas for Yvette!”
