I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

Chapter 16: Not Easy to Wrap Things Up

After confirming that William Scott was fine, everyone got into the car. It was still William Scott who drove. However, this time, everyone’s topic of discussion was William Scott. They were all discussing William Scott’s heroism in beating up the bear.

Xenia Lewis, in particular, had seen it with her own eyes. At this moment, she was vividly describing it. After she finished, she suddenly slapped himself in frustration and said, “I was so stupid. Why didn’t I use my cell phone to record this exciting scene?”

Yvonne Shaw rebuked, “At that point, you would’ve been happy to even survive. How could you be thinking about this?”

“Regardless, this is definitely going to be the most exciting day of my life. It’s still a shame that there’s no record of it.”

Yvette Quinn rolled her eyes at her. “Precious moments can just be remembered in you heart. Why do you have to record it?”

At this moment, Larry Zion seemed more like an outsider. When he arrived at the entrance of Yvette Quinn’s house, he got out of the car and said that he had something on and would be leaving. Yoel Quinn and Yvonne Shaw actually felt bad about it. After all, Larry Zion had been working hard for the past few years. It was a little unreasonable to kick him away at this time.

However, this involved their daughter’s happiness. They now recognized William Scott as their future son-in-law, so they could only give up on Larry Zion and give him some compensation in other ways.

“William, let’s have dinner at home tonight.” Everyone got out of the car. Yvonne Shaw took the initiative to invite William Scott.

William Scott turned to look at Yvette Quinn. Yvonne Shaw immediately widened her eyes and said, “You don’t have to look at her. Do we need her approval for you to come over for a meal?”

Yvonne Shaw was satisfied with William Scott’s attitude. He respected Yvette Quinn a lot.

Yvette Quinn felt wronged. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t let him come.”

“Hmph, don’t keep bullying William. William, if Yvette wants to throw a tantrum at you in the future, just tell me and I’ll talk to her. I’ve spoiled her since she was young. Sometimes, she’s very stubborn and has a bad temper. You have to be more forgiving.”

Yvette Quinn’s eyes widened. What’s going on? Mom, aren’t you being too nice to William Scott? Why do I feel like you’re closer to him than your own daughter?

......

William Scott quickly said, “Auntie, you’re being too serious. Yvette has a good personality. Even though she’s a little domineering, she’s not as unreasonable as other girls. This is really rare. I believe that even if there’s a disagreement between us, we’ll definitely resolve it through communication.”

“It’s normal for couples to have disagreements, as long as they don’t argue irrationally. William, you’re very calm and composed, even when dealing with trouble. I trust you. I just don’t trust Yvette.”

Yvette Quinn was speechless, but she couldn’t be bothered to defend herself. Her boyfriend was a fake anyway. After her parents left, everything would be fine.

When they arrived at Yvette Quinn’s house and Yvonne Shaw was preparing dinner, William Scott immediately said, “Auntie, let me prepare the crayfish.”

Yvonne Shaw asked happily, “You know how to prepare it? I was still worried about how to go about it. I have never done it myself before.”

William Scott said humbly, “I enjoy eating, especially when I prepare it myself. I’m just afraid that it might not suit your tastes. Why don’t you… leave dinner to me today?”

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you then.” Yvonne Shaw smiled and nodded.

William Scott immediately went into the kitchen and got busy. About an hour later, the table was filled with dishes.

There was a large plate of spicy crayfish, a stewed fish, and a small bowl of vegetables. Next to it was a fragrant egg dish. These were all the harvests that they had brought back from their trip to the valley today. Together with the other side dishes, it was a meal that looked and smelt good. Just looking at it and smelling it made one drool.

“Do we have any wine?” After Yoel Quinn sat down, he looked at the table full of dishes, and his spirits were lifted.

William Scott immediately said, “I’ll go buy it right away.”

Not long after, William Scott brought back two bottles of white wine and two bottles of red wine. He said, “Uncle, this white wine is produced by our local wine factory. It’s purely made from grain. Although it’s not expensive, the taste is quite good. Try it.”

Yoel Quinn’s eyes immediately lit up, and he said, “Okay, okay, I’m not used to drinking those famous wines myself.”

After everyone started eating, the few of them were full of praise for William Scott’s culinary skills. William Scott and Yoel Quinn drank as they chatted. Both of them were soldiers. When Yoel Quinn was young, he had also been on the battlefield.

As the two of them chatted, they talked about the tragedy of the battlefield and the battles they had participated in. They also talked about some tactical analysis and the modern military technology and international military situation.

William Scott had his own unique views. He was definitely not someone who would listen to rumors without having his own opinions.

With that, Yoel Quinn had a whole new level of respect for William Scott. The more they chatted, the happier they got. It was as if they regretted not having known each other earlier.

After Xenia Lewis had her fill, she did not leave the table. She sat at the side and listened to the two of them chat. She actually listened with great interest. Especially when William Scott talked about his past deeds, she looked at him with admiration.

After Yvonne Shaw and Yvette Quinn finished eating, they returned to her bedroom.

“Yvette, William is a good guy.” Yvonne Shaw praised William Scott as soon as they entered the room.

Yvette Quinn laughed and said, “Don’t worry anymore. I’m already so old, how could I not know which man to choose?”

Yvonne Shaw rolled her eyes at her daughter and said, “That’s because we care about you. I’m relieved now. William is definitely a right choice. You guys have to get along well in future.”

“Got it.” Yvette Quinn nodded.

“Yvette!” Yvonne Shaw pulled Yvette Quinn’s hand and sat down. She said earnestly, “I shouldn’t talk too much about young people in love. But I’m still worried about you sometimes, so I’ll nag you a little more.”

“Mom, if you have something to say, just say it,” Yvette Quinn said with a smile.

“I’m not a conservative person, but I think you’re too conservative. Why haven’t you let William into your house even after spending a month together? I’m not encouraging the two of you to move in together early, but women shouldn’t be too reserved. That would make men feel that there’s no hope in pursuing you, so you should let go sometimes.”

“Mom…” Yvette Quinn’s eyes widened.

“Haha, men will always behave well before they get you. Often, when you truly live together, their true nature will be revealed more clearly. So, in order to truly understand a man and see if everything is aligned, it’s better to have a cohabitation before marriage.”

The corners of Yvette Quinn’s mouth twitched. She suddenly had a bad feeling. She felt like she had shot herself in the foot this time. It was going to be hard to wrap things up.
