Richie's heart was softened by the pitiful expression on the woman's face. He said in a low voice, "We needn't act. We are a real couple. What are you worried about?"
His voice was soft but helpless, which made Consuela joyful.
The car drove into a certain area of the villa of the Xia Clan. The housekeeper came to open the door for them. Richie got out of the car first and then opened the door for her.
As they almost touched each other when she got out of the car, Consuela chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so gentle. You just wanted to perform well today."
Richie curved the corner of his mouth and spoke unabashedly, "So, why don't you get off the car quickly? Everyone is watching us. "
"Okay." Consuela curled her lips. She got out of the car with the help of Richie. The driver had handed some valuable things to the housekeeper.
The only woman at home, Linda, heard the noise and rushed out. But the first person she saw was a tall and handsome man in a black overcoat. She even was stunned.
Consuela silently pushed the man behind him. She indicated him to greet her mother. With a calm face, Richie walked straight to the old woman and greeted her in a calm voice. Then he began to apologize.
He had kept telling her why he hadn't come to visit them in time. His words made Consuela feel like crying.
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left Consuela alone at home and let her go home on her own. I..."
Sitting next to her husband, Consuela was about to clap her hands but when she saw her mother, she could only smile. She swallowed the orange and kept silent, smiling.
Somehow, she felt that her mother didn't reject Richie at all. In other words, since the man appeared, her mother hadn't even changed her face.
It turned out that the more mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the happier she was?
"You don't have to blame yourself. It's natural for a man to be busy with his work. Her fat
to bless him."
The two were sitting in the living room, bickering, and their voice was very low. The woman from behind looked at them, thinking that they were whispering something.
And they must be in a good relationship.
Standing on the long corridor not far behind the two of them, Linda looked at them and suddenly smiled. She did not go to disturb them.
Instead, she called Consuela's father to tell him the good news. She exaggerated her opinion and wanted to improve the image of his father.
On the other side of the phone, Johnson said with a broad smile, "I'm on my way home and I'll be home soon. I'd like to have a good talk with my son-in-law who makes you so satisfied."
"You can't hate him, definitely." Then she turned around and walked into the kitchen, letting the housemaid prepare the food that Consuela liked.
Sheryl was on the way in a traffic jam. She was on her way to meet Harry. Her sister and her husband were here. How could she not bring Consuela's ex-boyfriend with her?
She didn't care what kind of person he was, but she had only one purpose in her life. As long as she could make a fool of Consuela, that would be the biggest achievement she had ever made.
The street lamps were working steadily. The car ran smoothly on the road like a fish in the water.
