Chapter 1099
The next afternoon, ine put up an end of business sign in the store early, and dragged Natasha,
went to the mall to buy a lot of things, but were not sure if Darnell''s mother would like them.
Natasha looked at her worried look: "Why don''t you just ask Darnell, his mother''s preferences, he must
know best."
ine said, "Actually, he rarelyes back to James'' Mansion if he doesn''t have something to do, and
I heard my dad say once that he doesn''t seem to have a particrly good rtionship with Auntie
Christine, so I feel like it''s a waste of time to ask."
Natasha sighed: "Every family heir has a miserable life."
ine: "......"
She thought of what they said that day at the river, what revenge and other words.

As for Darnell''s father, she really didn''t have the man in her memory, so she never cared about that
aspect either.
All she knows is that Auntie Christine is aloof and doesn''t like to interact with people much, and she
hardly ever sees her anywhere else except at family gatherings.
This is probably rted to the death of Darnell''s father.
Natasha saw ine standing there not knowing what she was thinking, so she pulled her: "Well, don''t
think so much, you and Darnell are married, and you are so pretty and cute, his mother will definitely
like you."
"...... Are you serious."
"Of course, who in the world would not like us ine."
At that, ine smiled, just as her phone rang and it was Darnelling to pick her up.
After telling him the address, ine did her shopping and headed outside the mall with Natasha.
Seeing the ck Maybach driving towards them, Natasha waved to ine, "Go for it, I''m going to the
lab to find your cousin."
ine exhaled and nodded gently.
Sitting in the car, Darnell looked at therge bag she was carrying, "What''s this?"
ine struggled to free her hand to pull the car door: "A gift for Auntie Christine, I didn''t know what she
liked, so I bought a little bit of everything."
Darnell looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
On the way, ine was a little nervous, opening the car window to breathe in the fresh air.
I don''t know how long it took, but the car finally pulled into James'' Mansion.
This ce, ine has been here many times since she was a child, but this time it was apletely
different mood.
After driving some more distance, the car stopped in front of a house.
It''s Christine''s ce to stay.
ine can''t remember if she ever came here as a child.
Darnell got out, came around to her side, and lifted the contents of her arms in his hands, "Here we
are."
ine took his hand and slowly stood on the floor, and tentatively spoke, "Auntie Christine, it shouldn''t
throw me out, right? Although my father has also kicked you out, but my mental capacity should not be
as good as yours ......"
Darnellughed and clutched her soft fingers in his palm, "No."
Hearing him say that, ine wasn''t any better, and she took a deep breath, "Let''s go!"
Anyway, we are here, so we might as well make a move and be the first.
In the living room, Christine is sitting in a light-colored dress in the sofa, while the maid is preparing
dinner behind her.
Hearing footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes, but her face remained expressionless.
When she looked at her, ine felt slightly ufortable holding Darnell''s hand, and tried to pull it out,
but he held it tightly.
ine spoke with some formality, "Auntie Christine."
Christine nodded slightly without much indication, only her eyes rested on the things Darnell was
carrying in his hands: "Didn''t you already send a gift this afternoon, why did you bring so many again?"
ine froze slightly, in the afternoon?
Darnell ced the items on the coffee table in front of Christine with a natural look: "ine thought the
ones sent over this afternoon were too few and bought some more in case you didn''t like them."
Christine looked to ine, who looked back and immediately nodded: "Auntie Christine, I don''t know
what you like, take a look and tell me if you like it, I''ll buy it for youter ......"
Christine withdrew her eyes: "No, I don''t usually use these things."
ine''s enthusiasm was like being sshed with cold water, a small "oh" under.
Darnell''s thin lips pursed slightly and his eyes went to his mother.
Christine''s tone eased up a few notches: "Sit down."
ine immediately sat down with both hands on her feet, looking incredibly well behaved.
Christine added: "I heard you opened a dessert store,ter youe to see me, bring a copy of your
dessert on the line."
At that, ine''s eyes lit up: "Yes, I was going to bring one today, but I was afraid you wouldn''t like it
...... Next time I''ll bring it!"
Christine nodded, and for a moment, the living room was once again quiet.
ine knew that both mother and son were cold and reticent people, so she had little hope.
What''s more, with the easing of the atmosphere just now, she is now not as nervous as she was
initially.
Just as she was thinking of what topic she should find to break the awkward atmosphere, there were
footsteps behind her, and ine subconsciously looked back and immediately stood up, surprised,
"Auntie Dolores!"
Dolores stood there and smiled, "ine, it''s been a long time."
ine hadn''t seen her for a long time indeed and happily ran over to her and hugged her: "Auntie
Dolores, ine missed you so much."
Dolores gently patted her back: "Two years gone, you''ve grown into a big girl."
ine slowly let go of her, spat out her tongue, and whispered, "I''m married."
Dolores sniffed, slightly surprised, and looked over at Darnell, who nodded slightly at her.
So that''s it.
Christine got up and said, "I''m going to the kitchen to see if dinner is ready."
ine was just about to say she''d go help, too, when Dolores said, "You sit down, I''ll just go."
When they entered the kitchen one after the other, ine sat next to Darnell and finally breathed a sigh
of relief and asked, "Did you ask Auntie Dolores toe over here?"
Darnell gave her a haircut, "No."
ine''s eyes widened slightly, "That wouldn''t be ......"
Auntie Christine?
