Chapter 1209
The Woman From Hell
I had to ask about Mother when I visit Oscar this time. However, I still had not figured out how to do
it yet.
I did not let myself get too bothered with it, though. When I was done packing, I got ready to leave
the house.
I walked around the living room and saw a set of purple pottery. I then grabbed a box of tea while I
was at it.
Theo had no interest in pottery. The only reason these pottery pieces were at home was that Keith
thought they looked good and bought them after seeking Theoâs opinion. He then put them at home
as decorations.
Things that Keith thought were good were no doubt of superior quality.
The box of tea was a treasure Keith had brought home as well. It should suffice for me to take these
two items to Oscar.
There was a sound of a car horn outside the door. It must be Shannon.
I grabbed the things and went out the door. She had changed into a sweet-looking long dress, while
her hair was tied into a bun. A pair of pearl-rimmed sunglasses rested on her nose bridge, making
her look playful and a little cool.
When she saw how I had dressed up, she chuckled mischievously. "You look so virtuous dressed
like that, Wanda. That's simply the standard dress code to meet the parents of oneâs partner. I
should take your outfit as a reference when I meet his parents next time."
After getting into the car, I chuckled and said, "I merely tied my hair up, changed into a dress, and
put on light makeup.
That's already virtuous to you?"
"Ok course." Shannon started the car engine. "The older generation likes cleanlooking girls. There's
no elder out there who wonât like someone who looks as gentle and demure as you."
Seeing the purple pottery and tea box placed in a bag on my lap, she saw me in a new light. "Wow,
you've only had a meal with my grandpa once and you already know what he likes? Itâs no wonder
you could marry Theo."
I smiled slightly. "Will you believe me if I said that I succeeded by a stroke of luck?â
Shannon turned on the car music and started swaying her head to the rhythm while shouting,
"Youâre my bestie. If I don't believe you, then who will?"
I could not help but guffaw.
A girl as funny as Shannon could easily convert an introverted person into an extroverted one.
The sky had not turned dark yet when we arrived at the resort.
Shannon parked the car in front of a small villa.
Oscar was standing at the door. We had no idea how long he had been waiting there for us.
Seeing that Shannon was here, the old man let out a smile and hurried over to us.
Shannon supported him and said with a face full of helplessness, "Grandpa, didnât I already tell you
to wait inside? I'm not going to lose my way. Nights outside will be cold this month. What will I do if
you
catch a cold?'
Oscar was grinning from ear to ear. He held her hand and said with a smile, "You said youâd come
in the morning, child.
Look at the time now!"
"I couldn't get up in the morning." Shannon hugged him and acted like a child.
"You're lazy as always."
"I'm lazy because you and granny spoil me." Shannon pulled me out from behind her. "I brought my
friend. This is my friend, Wanda."
Oscar looked at me and said with a smile," I've met this young lady before. We had a meal together
the other day."
I smiled faintly. "Hello, Mr. Collins."
Oscar nodded with a smile. "Hello."
After entering the house, Oscar ordered the servants to prepare the dishes.
There were only a few people in the villa-two caretakers and the butler.
The dishes were prepared a long time ago and should be ready to serve after heating them up.
Oscar summoned the caretaker. "Make Shannon some watermelon juice."
He then looked at me and asked, "What would you like to drink, Ms. Lane?"
