After lunch.
Jennifer and Arabella were giggling and chatting, seeming as if they had endless topics to talk about.
Romeo glanced at the time and realized that ever since his mother had arrived, he hadn't had a chance
to have a proper conversation with Bella.
“Mom; Romeo couldn't help but interrupt, "Dad is lonely at home."
The implication was clear: please go home and keep him company.
“What, are you already impatient to get rid of your mother? Bella and I haven't finished our chat yet."
As Jennifer said this, she laughed and turned to Arabella, "And then the store manager said that the
waistline of the dress was very small and ordinary girls wouldn't be able to fit into it. I told him that my
daughter-in-law is not an ordinary girl, and I showed him your picture. And guess what, the store
manager and all the sales associates gathered around, all praising how beautiful you look."
Arabella couldn't help but laugh at Jennifer's animated storytelling.
“The manager then said, with your slim waist, you would definitely fit into the dress. So, I bought it and
it's in the car. I'll get it for you later."
Arabella's smile softened, ‘Thank you."
“Don't be so formal with me; we are family"
Nowadays, whenever Jennifer went shopping, the first person that came to her mind was her beloved
daughter-in-law.
Sometimes, when George saw her return from shopping, he would find all the bags filled with things for
their daughter-in-law, and none for him.
He felt a pang of neglect.
“Mom; Romeo spoke up again, "Bella and I have some work-related matters to discuss."
"Why don't you guys go ahead? I can offer some advice."
Romeo beckoned his mother over and whispered, "Do you want your son and daughter-in-law to finally
be together? You're so present that we cant even have a moment."
“But I also need to develop my relationship with my daughter-in-law."
“Can't you do that when I'm not around?"
Seeing that her daughter-in-law finally had some time to come and see her son, Jennifer decided,
“Alright, I'll leave first. You better take good care of her and don't bully her, got it?"
“I wouldn't dare to."
“Bella, I am leaving now. In the afternoon, let Romeo show you around. If he does anything wrong or if
anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, tell me, and I will back you up."
Arabella couldn't help but laugh, "Thanks."
"You're thanking me again, silly girl."
"Shall I walk you out?"
“That would be great."
Jennifer looked at her son with a delighted expression, as if to say: Bella offered to see me out. I can't
let her down.
Romeo was speechless.
The employees on the first floor watched as Arabella and Jennifer walked out of the elevator arm in
arm.
Jennifer was in high spirits, greeting everyone with a radiant smile.
A stark contrast from her initial intimidating demeanor.
Whenever she was with her daughter-in-law, Jennifer seemed to have endless things to say. Their
cheerful conversation attracted quite a few whispers from the bystanders.
“They really look like a harmonious mother-daughter pair."
“lL wonder what this girl did to make a furious person happy in the blink of an eye."
“Anyone who can win over Mr. McMillian must be extraordinary.
“I wonder if she would consider releasing a tutorial. I'd be willing to pay a thousand dollars for it."
“If it's approved by Mr. McMillian, I'd pay ten thousand for that tutorial!"
“When you have some free time, come over to my house.’ Jennifer formally invited Arabella.
