At the same time, Sophia's hand was tightly held by Victor. To be honest, he encouraged her a lot. If
she ran away this time, perhaps the relationship between her and Victor would never be repaired. She
didn't want this...
Thinking of this, Sophia held his warm hand and tried to give this man some feedback.
When Grace noticed that Sophia didn't want to leave even though she hold hands with her son in this
house, Grace felt very uncomfortable and got furious.
"Are you still going to stay here shamelessly?"
In order to protect Teresa from being bullied by others, Grace sometimes acted very gentle, while
sometimes she spoke some harsh words...
"Mom, please don't..." Victor was about to say something, but someone's voice interrupted him.
"Okay, okay. Grace, don't be angry. Victor just took an assistant home, but he didn't say anything to her.
You can't just blame her like that... Besides, my daughter Teresa is not such a stingy person. Does she
fear that her marriage will be snatched away by others? "
The woman who spoke was Teresa's mother. Her voice was not very loud, but as gentle as that of a
woman from the south.
But her words had a strong purpose. It seemed that she was trying to ease the atmosphere, but it
made people more dissatisfied.
"How about this? I'll ask Victor what's going on!" Connie turned around and looked at Victor.
"Victor, are you coming back with this woman to deal with your business? You have been very busy in
your company recently, haven't you?"
Taking a cold glance at Connie, he knew what she was up to, so Victor replied, "No."
It didn't seem to occur to Connie that Victor would say something like that. Flustered, she said, "oh my
God..."
After a short pause, she continued, "maybe we all misunderstood. It seems that Miss Sophia is not a
person who is fond of climbing up the ladder. This is the first time that she comes to our house, so I
think it's better not to make the atmosphere so awkward. What do you think, Grace? "
Grace frowned and said, "Connie, you're too kind!" Grace turned her head and said to Sophia, "I've
been through your age, and I know exactly what you're thinking about. Young people should still work
earnestly. Not everyone has the honor to enjoy a sparrow turning into a phoenix! "
Speaking of this, Grace cast a stern glance at Victor. Her son had never brought her any trouble since
he was a child. She didn't expect such a thing to happen!
At this time, the servant of Xiao family reminded her carefully, "Grace, the dinner is ready. If you don't
eat more, it will be cold..."
Grace waved her hand to tell the servant to leave. Then she said seriously, "it's late now, and it's not a
good time for you to have dinner here. If you're sensible enough, you'd better leave Xiao family right
now! Don't let... "
"Enough!" Victor interrupted, emotionless.
At this moment, his hand was still holding the woman beside him tightly. He couldn't let her have a little
flinch.
"If you want me to stay for this meal, you must let Sophia stay here. Otherwise, I'll leave with Sophia
right now. "
Victor stared straight into Grace's eyes, giving off an aura just like Grace.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Anger could be seen on Grace's face. She didn't expect that her son would resist her for a woman one
day! But when she saw the serious look on Victor's face, she knew what her son meant.
Therefore, she stopped talking.
"You two stop quarreling..."
Teresa, who had been crying all the time, suddenly said meekly. It seemed that she was still immersed
in an inexplicable sadness. Her thin body was still somewhat twitching because of her previous cry,
looking delicate and touching.
"Aunt Grace, you misunderstood Sophia. I was just being sentimental and couldn't help crying..."
"It's all my fault. I'm the one to blame. If I hadn't caused aunt Grace and mom's misunderstanding, you
wouldn't have misunderstood Sophia. I just... "
Then Teresa started to cry again.
She couldn't let Victor leave now, or her plan would be ruined.
In fact, about this marriage that Victor's decision was not important. Now, Grace thought highly of
herself. As long as Victor stayed, she had the confidence to work with her mother and Grace to
persuade Victor to accept her.
"If there is misunderstanding, just explain it clearly. In this case, shall we go to dinner?"
"How about we offer some help?".
Grace nodded reluctantly. But according to what Victor said, Grace had to agree Sophia to stay for
dinner.
"Aunt Grace, please don't blame Sophia for this, and don't be angry with Victor. It's all my fault. I'm too
naughty. I didn't take your feelings into consideration...""
Teresa grabbed the corner of Grace's clothes, pursing her lips.
"It's good that you don't cry!" Grace feigned blame and poked at Teresa's head. "You've been trying to
look for reasons on yourself till now, and reflect on what you've done. However, there's someone who
doesn't see your true feelings for him, and he doesn't cherish you..."
Then Grace glanced at Victor beside her.
Victor didn't take her words seriously.
With shyness on her face, Teresa lowered her voice as she said shyly, "because, I like Victor very
much... Of course, I also love aunt Grace most! "
When Grace heard these words, she was in a better mood. "You're such a pleasant girl," she remarked
"How about me? Don't you want your own mother?"
"Of course I want! This room is all my favorite person! "
The room was filled with joyful laughter, as if nothing had happened...
However, compared them, Sophia felt a little embarrassed. They obviously ignored her. Teresa
reminded Sophia that even though Victor was not willing to marry Teresa, she had already taken the
real charge one. It was only a matter of time for Teresa to marry into Xiao family.
In the dining room of Xiao's house.
The maid had prepared the dishes on the table, for the previous incident, they had been heated one
time.
Xiao family was indeed extraordinary. These dishes on the table were not only Chinese food that could
provoke tastes, but also exquisite and unique Western food.
Teresa cut two pieces of steak, put one on Grace's plate and the other on Victor's.
"These are the meat on the ribs of a cow. Aunt Grace and Victor, you should all eat more!"
Smiling, Grace picked up some food for Teresa as well and said, "you need to eat more. You look
thinner than before. Take good care of yourself, so I can have a grandson as soon as possible! "
Teresa covered her face with her hand and said, "aunt Grace! Why are you talking about this now? "
"Ah, you are shy..." Pointing at Teresa, Grace said smilingly.
With that in mind, Connie said deliberately, "Grace, it's too early for you to say that. Teresa is still
young..."
"She is no longer a little girl! You know, Teresa has come back from studying abroad. And Victor is at
his age. This is the best time for her... " Grace sounded like Teresa's future mother-in-law.
"Aunt Grace, please stop! My God! ……"
Teresa was as shy as an inexperienced girl.
She stole a glance at Victor next to her. But Victor still wore a poker face, as if he hadn't heard
anything...
Sophia was ignored by the other three women. It seemed that there was no one else on the table other
than themselves, and even the maid who had been waiting beside her was more respectful than her.
At this time, Sophia had no appetite to eat anything, but what she didn't know was that Victor, sitting
next to her, would occasionally take a look at her and care about her.
However, Teresa saw the whole things. Even though a fishbone was in her throat, Teresa was still
happy at the sight of this. After all, she had to please Grace this evening.
Suddenly, Teresa raised her wrist and looked at her watch.
"Aunt Grace, Victor, please wait for a moment. I'm going to bring something to you!"
She blinked her eyes and said mysteriously, as if there was a surprise in it. Then she went into the
kitchen quietly.
After a short while, Teresa took out a small bowl of soup from the kitchen. It was obvious that the soup
was fresh and steaming. Before she walked to the table, they smelled something delicious, which made
them drool.
"What's this, Teresa?"
Grace wondered what she was busy with.
"Aunt Grace, I made this soup specially for you in the kitchen. Although I am not good at cooking, it is a
token of my regard. If you don't mind, you can have a try. "
Seeing that Teresa was obedient, Grace felt even happier.
Then, Grace took a spoon of water and sent it to her mouth, restless and expectant.
"Well... The taste of the soup was delicious, which fully reserved the taste of the food itself. The soup's
concentration was just right, and it was neither too heavy nor too light. In addition, Teresa had also
added some medicinal materials that were good for health, but they had no effect on the taste of the
soup... Dear Teresa, you have spent a lot of time on it. The food you made is almost as good as that in
a high-class hotel. "
After tasting it, Grace praised voluntarily. She had to admit that this soup suited her taste very much.
"No, I didn't. I was in poor health for some time when I was studying abroad. I wanted to improve my
health, so I learned how to cook soup. I'm not good at cooking, but I think it's not bad. Aunt Grace, if
you like it, I'll cook it for you every day! "
Although Teresa was being humble, she felt happy and satisfied.
