Chapter 596
Carlene spoke in a kind, courteous, and amiable tone.
Adrian could see that she was kind–hearted. Even though she was married to a Gardner, it did not signify that all the members of the Gardner family were b*stards like Chase.
Speaking of which, Chase could not be considered a total b stard either. He just had a different standpoint. Or rather, one should say that he dreamt of talding control of the whole country yet lacked the capability to do so.
Then, Carlene asked Adrian many other questions such as his career and such. He answered all her questions graciously as he was posing as Nadine’s boyfriend, after all.
Carlene and Adrian talked about their families. She talked about how she raised Nadine from the time Nadine was born and the hardships that she had endured during that period.
On the other hand, Nadine suddenly fell silent upon hearing Carlene talk. Not expecting her mother to hold her boyfriend in such regard, she had lied to her mother.
They talked for a long time. Then, Carlene tasked Nadine to keep Adrian company while she joyfully headed to the kitchen to finish preparing lunch. The lunch would most certainly be a sumptuous feast. It was very apparent that Carlene was pleased with her future son–in–law.
However, Nadine lowered her head as soon as Carlene entered the kitchen. She clutched at the hem of her dress and did not speak
Adrian asked after noticing her reaction, “What’s going on?”
Nadine shook her head. “I suddenly feel bad for Mother. I didn’t expect that she’d be so pleased with you and for her to care about my boyfriend so much. She even told you about my bed–wetting incident when I was twelve years old. It seems that she has come to think of you as her son–in–law, but I’m lying to her.”
Nadine sounded sad as she said this. Adrian patted Nadine’s shoulder and smiled. In a comforting tone, he said, “Your mother has told me a lot of things, and I can tell that she loves you very much. Appreciate her and spend more time keeping her company from now on.”
Nadine said, “She needs a good son–in–law. Compared to how much she talked to you, she doesn’t even talk that much to me on usual days. If this turns into a bigger deal than it is, I don’t know how I’m going to explain it to her when you’re gone.”
Adrian said, “I’ll explain. Don’t worry.”
“You’ll explain?” Nadine darted a look at Adrian.
“Hmph, do you really regard yourself as her son–in–law?” Nadine said in displeasure.
Adrian chuckled in response.
Nadine stood up. “Sit there. I’m going to go help my
mother.”
Adrian nodded and Nadine headed to the kitchen. Carlene was bustling about when she walked in.
Noticing her daughter’s arrival, Carlene hastily said, “Naddy, why are you here? Why aren’t you keeping Adrian company?
Nadine sniggered, walked over, and helped Carlene rinse the vegetables. She said, “Mother, how could my boyfriend be more important than you? You, on the other hand, told him about everything, including my bed–wetting incident when I was twelve! Aren’t you worried that he’ll make fun of me?”
Carlene cracked a heartfelt smile at Nadine, shook her head, and said, “I believe that Adrian’s a good man. He’s tall, masculine, and handsome, unlike those clean–looking rich lids out there who look like women. How did you meet him, Naddy?”
Nadine answered casually, “Fowler House.”
Carlene said, “It isn’t easy to find a man like him. Look at how strong he is. He can surely protect you. Oh right, have you slept

with him yet?”
Nadine blushed. “Why are you asking such questions?”
Carlene said in a scolding tone, “Can I not? It isn’t easy to find a good man so you shouldn’t procrastinate anymore. Even though there’s a saying that women should be reserved, when love comes, we should offer ourselves when the time is right. “Let’s have him stay the night. I’ll figure out a way to get him to sleep in your room.”
