Chapter 446: The Mother-inw’s Attitude towards Her Son-inw-to-be
Sensing that Stanford didn’t believe in her words at all, Florence’s face became redder as she was
extremely awkward at the moment.
She looked up at her parents and found that they didn’t believe in her words as well.
Under such circumstance, no matter what excuse she found, they would still think that she had a crush
on rence.
Florence found it hard to vindicate herself.
Phoebe slightly leaned forward to Florence and whisper into her year, “Comparing to tell them that
rence is pursuing you, it’s better to tell them that you’re pursuing him.”
Better? Florence felt sulky. What a dishonor it was. Rumors would have that she had a crush on
rence at the first sight and began to pursue him.
How awkward she would be in the face of her parents!
Phoebe said with a smile, “Don’t you want to let your parents to ept your rtionship?”
“Of course I want.” Florence replied in a low voice and continued, “But I haven’t expected that it’s by
such a means.”
Although she weed this result, she felt very embarrassed.
Looking at her daughter’s shyness and embarrassment, Victoria felt a gush ofplicated emotions,
yet she feltforted at the same time.
Although she didn’t know well about rence and didn’t know whether if he was qualified to be
Florence’s husband, she had to admit that Florence fell for him at the first sight and if they established
a rtionship, maybe it would help Florence to walk out of the shadow of her broken rtionship with
Ernest.
She could perceive that ever since rence came here, Florence’s mood had been dramatically
improved.
If this continued, it might be good.
But she must arrange her men to investigate into rence’s family background and his quality in detail
as soon as possible.
“Flory should apany you since Mr. Jenkins and Miss Jenkins are our distinguished guests since
you are all of the young generation and may have simr preferences. Go out to have fun after finishing
the meal. I will arrange a driver for you.” Victoria who was having the breakfast said thoughtfully.

Now that her daughter liked rence, naturally she should do something to improve their rtionship.
Florence felt happy when she heard the words. Didn’t this mean that she could get alone with Ernest
alone outside as much as she liked?
She replied happily without a second thought, “Okay!”
Then her gaze met with Victoria’s smiling eyes in the air. Florence immediately blushed again.
Damn, she acted so anxiously just now, which damaged her image as ady.
Looking at the shy Florence, Ernest slightly curled his lips into a smile and said to Victoria politely,
“Then I have to bother you, Mrs. Fraser.”
“It doesn’t matter. That’s what I should do.”
Victoria shook her head with a smile and felt more and more satisfied with rence.
Although rence was not as good-looking as Ernest, he was also handsome. And his expressions
and gaze made people feel that he was a modest person. He looked easy-going, yet also smart.
Even though he was sitting in front of her, Victoria found it hard to read thorough his mind. But he didn’t
look gloomy at all.
A man who had high social status and power could not be too pure, nor could he be too gloomy and
evil. It would be the best if he could find a bnce between this.
And in Victoria’s eyes, rence had managed to do that.
“Mr. Jenkins, when you’re back, pleasee to my study if you have time. I want to learn something
about the local customs and practices of City N.”
There was a gentle smile on Victoria’s face.
To learn about the local customs and practices of City N was just an excuse, and her real purpose was
to learn more about rence.
Florence immediately felt nervous. Fearing that Victoria might find out something, she spoke without a
second thought, “Mom, I grew up in City N and you can directly ask me if you want to learn something
about City N. Moreover, Phoebe is also here.”
Looking at the nervous Florence, Victoria sighed in heart.
She and rence hadn’t established their rtionship, yet she still wanted to protect him. If they fell in
love, Florence would definitely be willing to do many things for him.
Victoria smiled helplessly and said, “I can just learn about the customs and practices of the city from
you, but I also want to learn about the business in the city.”
Florence stammered, “Er…”
It was true that she didn’t know well about the business in City N.
Ernest chuckled and nodded gentlemanly, “Okay. Mrs. Fraser, I wille to your study to have a talk
when Ie back.”
They basically reached an agreement on this matter.
Florence moved her lips trying to say something, yet she didn’t utter a syble in the end. She could
only look at Ernest worriedly.
She wasn’t sure about whether if Ernest could cope with her mother. Victoria was an awesome person
and she had sharp eyes. She could perceive the fishy things quickly.
Unlike Florence, Ernest didn’t worry about it at all. He elegantly enjoyed the breakfast with the
chopsticks at his hand.
Among the dishes on the table, the dish he took the most was the te of vegetable that Florence put
in front of him before.
Victoria, who had been studying rence secretly, nodded from time to time.
She was secretly evaluating rence based on all his behavior.
Stanford sensibly found out Victoria’s real purpose. He also knew that if rence’s quality passed
through his mom’s examination, he might be his brother-inw.
Stanford also cared a lot about Florence’s marriage.
He spoke, “Let me go out with themter.”
“Cough… Cough…”
Florence was choked by the food she ate just now and because of the coughing, her face alternate
from paleness to redness.
Ernest slightly knitted his brows and hurriedly handed a bowl of soup to Florence, “Drink some water.”
“O… Okay. Cough… Cough…”
Florence took the soup from Ernest and gulped it down. Only then did she finally manage to swallow
the food stuck in her throat.
Phoebe patted Florence’s back to let her feel morefortable and asked, “Are you better?”
“Ehn, cough… I’m fine now.”
Florence shook her head. When she was about to put down the bowl, she saw a bowl of soup on the
table. It was hers, then the soup she had just now…
She looked towards Ernest and failed to find his soup.
“Cough, cough.”
Florence felt awkward and coughed violently. Why Ernest didn’t evade unnecessary suspicion in front
of her families?
Ernest looked at her meaningfully and said in a deep voice, “It was an emergency and I handed my
soup to you. You won’t mind it, right?”
Florence was rendered speechless.
She didn’t care about it at all because she also ate the food he ate before. But why did he say it out?
Under their gazes, Florence felt extremely embarrassed.
With a red face, Florence didn’t dare to look at him. She said in a low voice, “I don’t mind it.”
Victoria looked at them alternately and then curled her lips into a smile of satisfaction.
Just now when Florence was choked by the food, rence was the first to react. It was not only
because he was agile and sensible; more importantly, it was because that he had been paying
attention to Florence.
Moreover, Florence ate rence’s soup and it could be regarded as an indirect kiss. But she didn’t
mind it at all, which meant that she really like rence.
It was only a matter of time for two persons who had feelings for each other to establish a rtionship.
So far, Victoria felt more and more satisfied with rence’s performance. If he could remain
unchanged and she didn’t find out some uneptable shorings on him, she would agree them to
be together.
