Chapter 68 The Union Of Mother And Daughter
When Teresa was young, she knew that Grace was very interested in soup. Under the pressure of Connie, she specially went out to study it. Only in this way could she know how to deal with Grace's symptom.
In the process of learning to make soup, Teresa had suffered some hardship. But luckily she had learned how to cook. Today, she finally got a chance to show off in Xiao family. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Teresa, I love you so much! Come on! Come here! "
As Grace gestured for Teresa to come over, she gestured to the maid next to her to fetch something from the room.
Then, the maid handed a small embroidered red box to Teresa.
"Teresa, open it." Said Grace in a gentle voice.
Teresa opened the box carefully and said happily, "aunt Grace, this is a jade bracelet. It has bright color and it must be very valuable..."
"This is what my mother left to me. Now I give it to you. I hope you will live up to my expectations."
Then, Grace grabbed Teresa's jade hand and put on the bracelet.
Teresa pretended to be embarrassed and said, "aunt Grace, it's too much. I can't take it..."
While saying, she was about to return the jade bracelet to Grace.
"Grace, don't spoil Teresa like this. Otherwise, she will get spoiled," said Connie.
Pretending to be angry, Grace retorted, "I told you to accept it. Just take it as a gift to make me happy today. Otherwise, I'll give it to another person when I regret giving it to you." Then she glanced at
Sophia which had been ignored for all the time.
"Okay, aunt Grace, I will take it right away. See, I won't take it off after you put it on! Hee hee... "
After saying that, there was a flash of cunning in Teresa's eyes. The jade bracelet on her wrist was like a booty.
Grace gestured for Teresa to sit down next to her and explained.
Suddenly, Teresa seemed to be blown up. She knocked hard on her own head and said casually, "ah, look at my memory. How can I forget my mother and Victor!"
Then, Teresa rushed into the kitchen again.
At this time, she did not come out immediately. Instead, she rubbed her head, which was a little painful from her own knocking, and looked at the things that were already made on the stove, she took a long breath.
She thought to herself and said, "Teresa, you've really made a soup. Now you've taken care of Grace, and the next one is Victor!"
Then she and the maid came out with two bowls of soup and handed them to Victor and Connie.
Connie had drank thousands of experiments of her daughter, and she was almost fed up with them. However, when she took a sip of the soup, she still forced a huge smile on her face and felt extremely surprised. She praised repeatedly, "you're not here to learn the skill from a teacher!"
Teresa acted as if she was telling nothing and shook her head proudly. Then she looked at Victor expectantly, urging him to drink more soup.
In the eyes of the crowd, Victor had a bite and said lightly, "it's delicious."
"I knew it!"
Teresa was afraid of his cold response and disdain was fleeting in her eyes.
Speaking of this, it seemed that something occurred to Teresa. She looked at Sophia beside Victor with guilt and whispered, "I didn't know you would come today, so I didn't make your soup. I'm sorry..."
TSophia kept silent for a long time. It wasn't until Victor pulled her sleeve under the table that she came back to her senses and found that all the people at the table were looking at her.
"Ah, it doesn't matter..." She said absent mindedly and looked abnormal.
"Sophia, you look unhappy. Are you still mad at me for what happened just now? I apologize. Don't be mad. It's all my fault..."
While speaking, Teresa became a little anxious. Her eyes turned red and seemed to be about to cry.
Sophia was embarrassed. However, she couldn't just sit by and do nothing. So she had to comfort her, "it has nothing to do with you. I'm fine."
"Teresa, don't waste your breath on someone irrelevant. Just come back and have dinner!" Grace stopped smiling and said sternly.
In fact, Grace really liked Teresa very much and was willing to play with her. Such a girl was rare in the world. But today, she found out that Teresa was so sad that she almost cried. As a result, Teresa was not so good to her as before.
However, Grace didn't say anything. After all, for Xiao family, An family which they knew well was a good one with strong background, while choose An family's eldest daughter to be daughter-in-law was the best one.
Teresa unwillingly sat back, but she still pretended to look at Sophia with worries.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing. Sophia didn't know what to do. So she had to pick up the nearest dishes with chopsticks and eat something symbolically.
However, she did not put it into her mouth deliberately, like chewing wax, bitter...
An inexplicable delight arose in Teresa's heart when she saw Sophia's upset look. Teresa even ate a few more dishes that she didn't like to eat.
"Grace, my daughter Teresa has hidden her light under a bushel. She will give you some surprises every now and then. Please bear it,"
Connie tried to ease the atmosphere and continued her previous topic.
"Then bring here!" Grinning, Grace turned to look at Teresa.
"Let's wait and see!" Teresa answered happily, her face full of joy.
The ambience was cheerful.
Sophia took a glance at them and got relieved quietly. She stopped sending food to her mouth. She had been neglected and restless before, and later on, she became the center of attention, which was even creepy.
She felt like she was suffering from social fear. She wanted to hide herself somewhere.
In fact, Victor had witnessed Sophia's inner activities and external activities of Sophia.
He put some dishes on Sophia's plate quietly.
Sophia felt touched to see all the dishes on her plate were her favorite.
Originally, she thought that being under the same roof, she was just a tool for a man to help him to solve his loneliness. She did not expect that he had a very clear understanding of her preferences.
She indeed looked at the man beside her with a pair of glasses. Every time she was angry, she would forget how gentle he had been.
She had always blamed him as usual.
Sophia's mind flashed back to the last time when she came back to Jian family's house with Victor.
Victor didn't turn a deaf ear to them. Instead, he spoke for her again and again.
He really helped her a lot during that period of time.
'Why do I choose to forget these things now? I am exaggerating something that has nothing to do with him. I even become resistant to this man.
It was not until this moment that Sophia realized how capricious she had been.
Xiao family made people feel embarrassed and cold, but Victor in front of her now gave her warmth.
She took the chopsticks in her hand and chewed the food that the man gave her seriously. Her heart was warm.
Victor saw the expression on Sophia's face recovered a little. He lifted his lips slightly without being noticed by others. Perhaps even he didn't realize that this woman was always affecting his emotions.
"What do you know, Grace? When we were having a video call in foreign countries, the most Teresa talked about was Victor. You and I were not as important as Victor in her heart!"
Connie suddenly changed the topic to Victor.
Hearing that, Teresa blushed and interrupted, "Mom, could you please not say that again in front of aunt Grace and Victor? We are all here. Please don't embarrass me..."
"It's okay. It's time for me to consider the relationship between you two. After all, you have grown up and I know how to deal with you two." Said Grace seriously after pondering over it for a while.
"Besides, Victor should also come to his mind. He can become more mature and prudent after getting married. What do you think?"
"It's still early," Victor replied flatly. He was a little annoyed by his mother's words. After all, it was his mother who said ill of him
Grace furrowed her eyebrows, looking displeased.
"What did you just say, Grace? Victor is steady, calm and steady as he was before." Connie tried to smooth the situation over for fear that they might throw the handle after the blade.
Grace didn't mean to stir up trouble. Since it was true, she would just walk down the platform.
"You are spoiling your son-in-law too much, my future mother-in-law. You are always speaking well for Victor."
As for the two women who were talking, Victor remained silent with an indifferent expression on his face.
A clear voice interrupted the conversation between Grace and Connie. She said with great expectations, "I have imagined how I look like in a wedding dress when I was very young. I had been hoping that the wedding could be held outside. Under the blue sky and white clouds was a large lawn, next to which there was a clear stream, which could be heard the sound of water running. Then, wearing a white strapless gown, I was too excited to speak. I was too nervous to open my eyes and
was led by my father to walk on the red carpet. When I nervously opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the face of Victor... "
Every time I think of this, I'm really looking forward to it... "
Teresa's eyes were full of excitement as she imagined the ideal wedding scene.
Every girl dreamed of having a romantic and luxurious wedding.
There was a sudden silence on the table. Obviously, Grace didn't expect that Teresa would be so serious to say such words.
"When Teresa were young, her only hope was to grow up as soon as possible. I asked the kid why she wanted to grow up so fast. She said, in this way, she could marry Victor! " Connie said.
She imitated her daughter's tone, deliberately lowered her voice and said in a girlish voice.
"Well I always know Teresa's heart... " Grace said as she recalled the past.
"But, our Teresa is a bashful girl. A good girl always thinks of ways to get close to Victor. How much courage does she have to hold on to this day?"
"In fact, I can also see that Victor has always been unwarm to Teresa. I'm afraid that he just treats Teresa as his sister, and has no other intention. At the very least... After all, marriage was a big event and it was not a joke... If Victor doesn't like Teresa, Teresa will return to her position as his sister. Do you agree, Teresa? "
Connie got excited and chocked up with tears.
