Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

Chapter 56: Hereditary Confidence

"Oh, you are finally here!"

Gwenda heard her before she saw her.

Looking up, she saw an old lady standing outside the door of the main building.

Needless to say, that was Melanie Petit.

"Grandma."

Olivier called out as he approached her.

Gwenda timidly looked at Melanie and greeted softly, "Madam."

"What madam? Call me granny."

Melanie laughed heartily as she came over to hold Gwenda's hand. She regarded Gwenda with a From NôvelDrama.Org.

happy smile as she said, "Good, very good! You're so beautiful, my dear! I suppose my grandson's

efforts in wooing you haven't been in vain."

Hearing this, Gwenda looked up at Olivier in astonishment, stunned.

"What does that mean?

Could it be that Madam Melanie knew that I was coming?

Then, what was that whole deal about the blind date banquet?"

Gwenda's head was filled with questions.

Olivier did not seem to notice her confusion as his facial expressions remained the same.

"Alright, then, let's not stand here anymore. Come on in."

Melanie happily tugged on Gwenda's hand, leaving Olivier behind as she went inside the house.

...

In the living room, Melanie gave instructions to have a pot of rose tea brewed and brought forth. Then,

she let Gwenda taste it as she continued to chat with her.

The atmosphere was very relaxed, and Gwenda's nervousness gradually dissipated.

...

"My dear girl, I heard that it was you who saved my boy from that fire?"

Melanie asked in gentle tones as she smiled at Gwenda.

Gwenda nodded and replied, "Yes."

"The situation must've been quite critical, yes? Thank you, my dear child. If it weren't for you, I don't

even know what would have happened to my boy."

"Actually, he saved my life as well."

If it had not been for Olivier, she would have been disfigured by that falling wooden beam.

Melanie knew about this as Otto had spoken about it before. Chuckling, she said jokingly, "Then, aren't

you both a match made in heaven? You saved his life, and he saved yours too."

"Um..."

Gwenda finally found out who Olivier took after now. This brand of confidence seemed to be hereditary.

...

Seeing her mortified expression, Melanie laughed out loud and said, "Alright, I'll stop teasing. My boy

barely managed to bring you home, I can't scare you off like that."

Gwenda blushed further at that.

Melanie's smile grew bigger.

"This girl does not have a scheming heart, she's clearly a good child," She thought to herself.

Gwenda lamented internally, "Why on earth are the Petits all so cunning?"

Fortunately, Melanie did not continue teasing Gwenda. Instead, she began to tell her many anecdotes

about the wealthy.

"Gwenda, tell me the truth, you have not yet agreed to be with my boy, yes?"

Taking advantage of Olivier's absence, as he had gone to answer a call, Melanie asked Gwenda in a

soft tone of voice as she took Gwenda's hand in hers.

Gwenda froze as she subconsciously glanced towards the door.

But Melanie knew what she was thinking and said candidly, "Don't look at him, answer me."

"I... "

Gwenda hesitated and did not know how to respond.

"I see."

Melanie seemed to understand and sighed. "Oh, well, this silly boy. He's just so stiff. After all this time

he's never ever brought home a girl. I find it extraordinary that he met you, otherwise I would've

doubted his sexual orientation."

...

Gwenda could not help but chortle.

At the door, Olivier, who was on the phone, heard the noise and glanced back at them.

Sensing his gaze, Gwenda immediately collected her features though she could not prevent the slight

smile twitching at the corner of her lips.

"Don't laugh, I'm telling you the truth. He's never dated anyone before, and may not know how to treat

a girl right."

Melanie said with seriousness.

"Never dated anyone before..."

Gwenda raised an eyebrow at that thought, feeling a little surprised.

"Gwenda, please give him more chances in the future for my sake. Even if there's something that he

doesn't do well, please let him off the hook for my sake as well. Try to find his good side. I do like you

very much and hope that you will be together."

Melanie said with sincerity.

Hearing that, Gwenda pursed her lips and said, "Granny, the truth is, he's not that all bad. And he's

nothing like what you said."
