Chapter 1742
Meadow was wearing very elegant makeup. It could be seen that she attached great importance to
meeting Tina.
Her hair was tied up in a high bun behind. Although she was not wearing a cheongsam, the design
of her skirt borrowed ideas of the cor type and seven-fold sleeves of a cheongsam. The skirt was
grey in its color, and it looked very graceful.
Tina apologized. "Sorry for beingte, Mrs. Chin. There have been traffic jams along the way!"
She thought that it was impolite to let an elder wait for her for such a long time.
Meadow didn''t mind it at all. She said gently, "It doesn''t matter!"
Her face was full of kindness as an elder. "Miss Hall, please sit down. I have ordered a cup of
Cappino and a cup of Latte. Which one do you like?"
"Thank you!" Tina nodded gratefully.
After she chose the Cappino, Meadow pushed a red- velvet cake to her. "There are some
snacks here. Have a cake first!"
The red- velvet cake was cream- zed and embellished with cherries. It was contained in a white-
porcin te with a gilded rim, which looked very appetizing.
Tina used a bronze fork and took a bite of the cake.
Then, she looked up and saw that Meadow was smiling friendly. Tina felt warm andfortable as
Meadow''s smile was sincere.
Tina recalled the first time she met Meadow. It was at an engagement party.
At that time, Tina was still Wilson''s secret mistress which only slept with him at weekends. She
hadn''t realized that Wilson was her Mr. Right.
When she followed Wilson to say hello to Meadow, Tina, as a bystander, thought that Wilson''s
mother was a typical good mother and good wife of the Chinese style. Anyone who became her
daughter-inw in the future would be very lucky.
Today, when Tina recalled her first meeting with Meadow again, she was endlessly envious of the
lucky girl who would be her daughter-inw.
It seemed that Abby would be this lucky girl.
Tina suppressed her emotions and raised her head with a smile. "Madam Chin, why do you want to
drink coffee with me today?"
Meadow replied, "Nothing special. I just want to talk to you! I''ve recently acquired a book on the
design of cheongsam, and among all my acquaintances no one was good at costume design except
for you. I think I can have a good talk with you on this topic!"
There was a book ced on the table. The coverup design of it was old-fashioned.
Upon hearing that, Tina roughly realized Meadow''s intention. "Okay, this is my honor!"
Then, she and Meadow talked about cheongsams.
Because the two of them were both interested in this topic, they chatted very happily.
However, from time to time, Meadow would lower her head and look at the watch on her wrist. It
was perhaps because her time schedule was tight, or she was waiting for someone else.
There were a great many guestsing in and out of the cafe.
Suddenly, Meadow looked up with a bright smile. "Wilson, we''re here!"
Tina''s expression became slightly stiff.
Then, the sound of steady footsteps could be heard.
Wilson came over to them. He was wearing a suit today. His facial features were vivid and
goodlooking, and he was wearing a pair of sses with a tinum-gilded frame. Behind the
sses, his eyes were sharp and piercing. However, he looked a little anxious now.
After he saw Meadow, Wilson''s anxiety disappeared.
Wilson frowned. "Mom, didn''t you say on the phone that you felt ufortable in your heart and
wanted me toe over here quickly?"
Not long ago, Meadow was sent to the hospital due to sudden illness, and Therefore Wilson was
still cautious about something like that.
After receiving the phone call, he immediately halted what he was doing and rushed over here.
Seeing that his mother''s face was ruddy and healthy now, he finally felt relieved.
Meadow nodded with a smile. She waved to her son and told him yet another lie almost jokingly,
"Yes, I was a little ufortable just now, but now I feel much better! Miss Hall had chosen the
Cappino. Why don''t you take the Latte!"
Wilson was speechless."..."
Meadow pulled Wilson''s hand and he sat down.
Tina''s hands held the coffee cup.
At this moment, she realized the real reason why Meadow asked her toe over here.
Talking about cheongsams was just an excuse. Meadow made an appointment with Tina on the
phone first. When she saw that Tina was getting off the taxi, she must have called Wilson and
coaxed him intoing here too...
Meadow seemed to be enthusiastically creating opportunities for Wilson and Tina.
Tina thought that Meadow might want to intermediate the misunderstanding between Wilson and
her, as she thought that the current rtionship between the two of them was remediable.
Wilson was leaning against the sofa chair in a leisurely andfortable posture.
There seemed to be a slight smile on his face, but it was almost unnoticeable. "Mom, did you call
me here just to have a cup of coffee?"
As he spoke, he was virtually ncing at Tina from the corners of his eyes.
Meadow said, "Wilson, didn''t you see Miss Hall? She is also here!"
Tina raised the corners of her lips. "President Chin!"
She greeted him.
Upon hearing that, Wilson''s eyebrows darkened.
Every time when he heard her calling him in such a hypocritical manner, he felt a very strong sense
of alienation.
Meadow''s eyes swept across the two youngsters'' faces and added with a smile, "It''s such a
coincidence today. At first, I invited Miss Hall toe out to drink coffee, and then you also came
over here. Now that we are together, the two of you can chat for a while!"
Wilson hooked his lips and said, "I still have something else to do in the afternoon!"
After that, his face tightened slightly, "Mom, since you''re fine now, I''ll go first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wilson jumped up and strode away.
Meadow opened her mouth, but it was toote to stop her son.
After the family feast at the Mid-Autumn Festival, Meadow had been reflecting upon it from time to
time. She had the impression that although her son had brought Abby back home for dinner, he was
actually not very happy.
It was for this reason that Meadow made a special appointment for Wilson and Tina.
"Is it possible that I have simply made a misjudgment?"
Meadow was confused.
However, she knew her son better than anyone else in the world. She was quite sure that when her
son was with Tina, the happiness reflected in his eyes was sincere and unparalleled.
Meadow exined embarrassedly, "Miss Hall, I''m sorry. Wilson may be too busy recently. He was
not in a good mood just now!"
Tina shook her head and smiled as though she didn''t mind it at all.
She still remembered the shy look on Abby''s face when she was in the studio.
The "something else" mentioned by Wilson should be referring to the date with Ab by.
Tina took a sip of her coffee.
The milk and cassia powder were blended together, yet they looked terrible in the coffee cup. Tina
could only feel the bitterness of coffee.
Yet the taste in her heart seemed to be even more bitter.
Tina said to Meadow apologetically, "Mrs. Chin, I also have something else to do. Thank you for
your coffee today. If you want to talk about cheongsams again, you can call me directly!"
Meadow nodded. "Okay!"
Tina nodded, and then left with her handbag.
Watching Wilson and Tina leave the cafe consecutively, Meadow sighed.
It was too difficult for her to manage the rtionship between Wilson and Tina.
Tina didn''t hail a taxi after she left the cafe. Instead, she walked along the road.
Her original n was to attend the opening ceremony of Susan''s studio in the morning. After that,
she would go to the hospital to visit As pry, as she had promised him before.
Later, Meadow unexpectedly made a phone call to her.
However, the cafe they met happened to be near the hospital. Tina could go there on foot.
After walking for approximately over ten minutes, she had gradually calmed herself down.

Tina took a deep breath for a number of times, and then entered the hospital.
She bought a bunch of flowers in the flower shop near the entrance of the hospital. Then, she went
inside the inpatient building and take the elevator to As pry''s ward.
Aspry was sitting on the bed in the ward.
Dn wasn''t there, while Lilith was the only person apanying Aspry.
