Chapter 1186


    Hailey, who was about to take Cedric off her ck list, reflexively answered an iing call from an


    unknown number.


    “Ms. Vulpe, hello, I’m Cedric’s mother Would you like to grab a coffee?”


    The phone in Hailey’s hand was gripped even tighter


    No sooner had Cedric mentioned informing his parents than his mum rang. That was fast, but….


    Even though she could guess the reason for his mother’s call, Hailey was somewhat reluctant to go.


    But as it was about the prospect of marriage, it was understandable for his parents to be cautious.


    After some hesitation, she finally replied, ‘Sure! Then Hailey received an address from Cedric’s mum,


    asking her to meet there.


    Hailey, dressed in a conservative outfit and with a light makeup, got into her car and drove off. When


    her car pulled up outside a coffee shop, she spotted a well–dressed woman stepping out of a luxury


    car.


    Just one look, and Hailey could guess who it was. The Laurence siblings all inherited good genes from


    their parents.


    Cedric’s mother was one such person with superior genes. Elegant, slender, and exuding an air of


    nobility, she didn’t look her age at all.


    Regardless of whether she took care of herself or not, Cedric’s mother was fundamentally a beauty, no


    wonder Cedric and Sigrid were such lookers.


    Hailey waited for the elegant woman to enter the coffee shop before getting out of the car.


    Before going in, Hailey stood at the entrance, swallowing nervously. For some reason, she didn’t


    remember being this nervous when meeting Yeager’s parents…


    She could feel her heart pounding uncontrobly. She was incredibly nervous and worried. After a


    pause, she finally plucked up the courage to push the door open.


    Cedric’s mother, having probably looked up her information, recognized her immediately. “Ms. Vulpe,


    right this way.”


    Hailey managed a smile and walked over. “Hello, Mrs. Laurence.”


    She even refrained from using a familiar address, preferring the respectful one, as a sign of respect.


    Latonia didn’t expect this from Hailey. If it had been any other woman Cedric had spoiled, they would


    have been arrogant and bossy, like Hertha.


    She was taken aback, then gestured for Hailey to sit down. “Ms. Vulpe, what would you like to drink?”


    Instead of saying anything would do, Hailey took the menu from the waiter and ordered her usual


    coffee.


    Her casual and unaffected manner took Latonia by surprise.


    Once Hailey had ordered, she waved the waiter away.


    When the waiter had left, Latonia took the opportunity to size Hailey up. She was pretty, had a good


    figure, and was well maintained. She didn’t look her age, but despite her youthful appearance, she was


    still three years older than Cedric.


    Latonia looked down on Hailey a bit, but didn’t show it. “Ms. Vulpe, Cedric came home tonight, which is


    unusual for him. He said he wants to marry you. I thought, since I haven’t met you, I should call and


    meet you. You don’t mind, do you?”


    Hailey shook her head. “No, I don’t mind. It’s only natural.”


    Always obedient and respectful to her elders, Hailey made it easy for Latonia to ask her some


    questions. “Could you tell me about your rtionship with Cedric?”


    Hailey had thought Latonia was here to persuade her to break up with Cedric, but she didn’t ask


    directly. “What do you want to know?”


    Latonia leaned back elegantly on the sofa and pursed her lips slightly “Do you love him?”


    Talking about love in front of his mother made Hailey feel a little shy, but she bravely admitted, “He’s a


    great guy I like him a lot.”


    Latonia had asked if she loved him, but Hailey had replied that she liked him. For an older person, this


    wasn’t a satisfactory answer. “So you don’t love him?”


    Hailey opened her mouth to afgue, but was interrupted by Latonia. “Ms. Vulpe, my son has never been


    married. He doesn’t know what it’s like. But you seem to have had that experience, so you must know


    how marriage works, right?”


    Though Latonia didn’t directly ridicule Hailey, her words were still sarcastic, making Hailey feel a little


    embarrassed. She lowered her head. Yes, I know.”

    Seeing her difort, Latonia finally got to the point. “Cedric thinks that as parents, we should


    propose the marriage to your parents. But naturally, we should discuss it with your parents first. So,


    Ms. Vulpe, where are your parents?”
