Chapter 1121: Marrying Her in Advance
The next day, Stella Charlie and Vincent Warner set off together to the restaurant where they had arranged to meet.When they arrived, Mom Warner and Mrs. Durand were already chatting.
"Mom." Vincent Warner held Stella Charlie’s hand and walked over to greet them.
Mom Warner originally had a smile on her face, but as soon as she turned her head and saw Stella Charlie, her expression changed immediately.
She assumed that Vincent Warner had deliberately brought Stella Charlie to cause trouble.
But before she could start scolding, Mrs. Durand looked somewhat surprised at Stella Charlie and Vincent Warner holding hands. She stood up and asked, "Chen... Did you already know each other?"
Stella Charlie smiled and introduced, "Mrs. Durand, this is my husband."
"Oh my, what a coincidence! Please have a seat!" Mrs. Durand asked Mom Warner in astonishment, "Are you all teaming up to play a joke on me? You do know your son got married, right?"
Saying this, Mrs. Durand started laughing at herself, "Did I just introduce your daughter-in-law to your son for a blind date? What a big joke, haha."
Compared to Mrs. Durand’s brightness after learning the truth, Mom Warner’s expression was extremely complicated.
Still unwilling to give up, she asked, "Mrs. Durand, is this the girl you were talking about?"
"Yes." Mrs. Durand affectionately pulled Stella Charlie to sit beside her, "I wasn’t lying to you, was I? Isn’t she beautiful? She speaks not only fluent French but also several other languages, has attended many international conferences, and even a duke wants to hire her as a personal translator."
Mrs. Durand had praised Stella Charlie like this before, and at the time, Mom Warner listened with admiration, thinking she was a very outstanding girl.
But now, knowing that the girl sitting opposite her was Stella Charlie, she couldn’t help but feel a bit contemptuous in her heart.
Vincent Warner gently patted Stella Charlie’s shoulder, as if comforting her, and then sat down next to Mom Warner, looking somewhat like they were on a blind date.
"Mom, weren’t you very satisfied with her yesterday? This time, I’ve listened to you and brought her home in advance."
Mom Warner, mindful of Mrs. Durand’s presence, didn’t lose her temper at Vincent Warner. She just lowered her voice and said in Chinese, "I think you’re trying to drive me crazy on purpose!"
"An excellent translator, capable and beautiful, that’s what you said yesterday, and she truly is. The reason you don’t accept her isn’t that she’s not good enough, but because you have a deep-seated bias against her."
Stella Charlie maintained a polite smile and didn’t interrupt.
Mrs. Durand, who couldn’t understand Chinese, was unaware of Mom Warner’s discontent with Stella Charlie. Her face was full of smiles as she praised Stella Charlie profusely, "This child is clever and sensible, and it’s such a fate that she’s with your son. You’re indeed very fortunate."
Mom Warner’s smile was somewhat stiff, clearly not seeing this as her good fortune.
However, in this setting, Mom Warner didn’t make things awkward and still managed to put on an act and finish the meal.
During the meal, although Mom Warner couldn’t stand Stella Charlie, she also noticed that this girl was indeed different from what she had imagined.
In her impression, Stella Charlie was just an ordinary, timid girl who was only a facade.
But the Stella Charlie before her was gentle, obedient, aware of the bigger picture, and exuded confidence in her behavior, possessing more temperament than many noble young ladies.
After dinner, Vincent Warner stood up to pay the bill and said to the two elders, "Stella and I are going to see a movie. Shall I send you two back first?"
Mrs. Durand waved her hand immediately, "No need, no need, we’re just going to do some shopping. You don’t have to worry about us, just take care of Stella."
Vincent Warner held Stella Charlie and deliberately turned his head to say to Mom Warner, "Mom, shall we go now?"
"I can’t be bothered with you." Mom Warner turned her head away and pulled Mrs. Durand out of the restaurant first.
