Call Me Mom
A wedding. What a beautiful word.
In fact, she didn’t want an extravagant one. As long as Vinson was the groom, she would be ecstatic
even if it was a simple wedding.
However…
Arielle couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
Vinson has no intention of holding one. Is it because he thinks it’s too much trouble? To be honest, it is
indeed a hassle. Perhaps, he has already forgotten about it.
Despite feeling disheartened, she empathized with how tough Vinson was having it.
It’s fine if we don’t have one. When the time comes, we’ll just take a wedding photo and have dinner
with the Wilhelms and Susanne. And that will be considered our wedding.
…
That day, filming was only in the afternoon. Hence, Arielle headed to the mall in the morning to check
on the renovation progress of the new branch.
Given that the manager was monitoring the progress religiously, there was no need for Arielle to be
worried.
After handing over the money to pay for the renovations to the manager, she ordered the chauffeur to
take her to Nightshire Manor.
Since she hadn’t seen Susanne for a few days, she figured it was time to visit her future mother-in-law.
After having decided to spend the rest of her life with Vinson, his mom would naturally be her mom too.
About an hour later, her car arrived at the entrance of Nightshire Manor.
Previously, Susanne had suggested for Arielle to live there. However, she returned to Maple Mansion
after spending a night there—she didn’t feel at home.
But this time, she arrived with her luggage and handed Maple Mansion over to the care of the
housekeeper.
Before she arrived, she had called Susanne and informed her ahead of time.
Even though Susanne sounded cool over the phone, Arielle arrived to find the former waiting for her
happily.
Surprised by the attention, Arielle hurried over at once.
“Susanne, why are you standing here?”
Even though Susanne was trying her best to stay calm, her lips couldn’t help but broaden into a wide
grin.
In the end, she decided not to hold her emotions back any longer. Grabbing Arielle’s hands, she said
affectionately, “Arielle, haven’t you registered your marriage a long time ago? You should call me Mom
instead. Go ahead!”
Arielle was caught off-guard by Susanne’s sudden display of warmth.
“Mom.” She did as instructed, causing Susanne to smile vibrantly.
“Mmm-hmm,” Susanne acknowledged with delight. After that, she stuffed a gift into Arielle’s hands.
“This is just a little something from me. Keep it well.”
When Arielle turned to check, she realized it was a bank card.
Naturally, she figured that the card contained a pretty substantial amount of money, which confused her
even further.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, you seem to be in high spirits today.”
“That’s right!” Susanne replied while holding Arielle’s hand as they walked.
While walking, she pretended to complain, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were the boss of
Sann Group? I was given a fright when I found out yesterday.”
Only then did Arielle understand why Susanne’s attitude toward her improved exponentially.
After learning of the reason, Arielle explained candidly, “You told me to prove myself to you. Since I
didn’t want to dredge up the past, I ended up not telling you all this while. I’m sorry.”
“My child, there’s nothing to apologize for. Have you had your lunch? I have ordered the kitchen to
prepare some food. Obviously, it’s not going to be as good as your restaurant’s, so you’ll have to bear
with it.”
“It’s not a problem at all. I’m not a picky eater,” Arielle answered stiffly, for she was not used to
Susanne’s hospitality.
