Until now, Penny still remembered Chris's words.
"I don't know what kind of girl I like. I just want her to show up naturally."
Penny didn't appear naturally. She appeared with calculation, so she was unlovable and disliked from the beginning.
Those words were like a thorn, which Lavinia couldn't pull out of her heart for a long time.
Was Lavinia the woman he had been waiting for for many years?
No, she found a man casually for Chris and divorced because of Chris. For this man, she was not afraid of anything. Would she be afraid of having one more woman around Chris?
Lavinia did not know that the woman she met today almost destroyed the emotional fortress she and Chris had finally piled up.
It's a surprise to pay more money to investigate Lavinia's arrival.
Penny thought that a man as good as Chris would find a suitable match for him, at least that woman must be rich. Who knew? It came from an ordinary family, and more importantly, it was an unknown father.
The understanding between Lavinia and Chris was also an accident. From having sex with Chris for money to becoming a girlfriend, these experiences were enough to make Lavinia unable to stand up in The Konev Family.
A child born of a mistress eventually became a mistress. How would The Konev Family's two people react if they knew that the future mistress their son found for The Konev Family was like this?
The feedback was so worthwhile that Penny wanted to tell The Konev Family guys right now.
Because of his different feelings for Chris, Penny had been in contact with Chris's mother, Vivian, for many years. If there were any excellent things abroad, he would share them with Vivian for the first time, and he would brush a lot of impressions in front of Vivian.
So when she called Vivian to tell her she was back, Vivian asked Penny to meet her for afternoon tea as soon as possible.
Wasn't that what Penny was waiting for? She decisively agreed and took the initiative to set the position of Vivian's favorite house.
On this day, Penny dressed cleanly and generously and didn't look like a married and divorced woman at all.
The advantage of being rich was that the maintenance was always online. Vivian was 50 years old and looked like a woman in her thirties. There was no trace of years on her face. Her hand-held Hermès limited edition three-color stitching bag and exquisite accessories showed her femininity.
"Good afternoon, long time no see. You are still so young."
Young women liked to be praised for being beautiful. Older women want to be commended for being young. Vivian was used to flattery. She seldom saw any sincerity in Penny's eyes, and her affection for Penny increased.
"Penny, you are still so beautiful."
Vivian took her seat, and all the desserts and drinks Penny had ordered in advance were served, all of which Vivian liked, the flavors she often ordered.
"You just returned to Y city soon. Have you contacted Chris? You haven't seen him for a long time, have you?"
What Vivian and Penny talked about was homely. It didn't sound extraordinary, but it was all about Chris.
As long as a mother heard others talking to her about her son, these words couldn't stop.
"Chris came to pick up the plane and accompanied me to buy some things, but he should be swamped these days. So we met that day and haven't seen it since."
Penny didn't directly say that she accompanied her to buy clothes for fear that being a mother would feel uncomfortable.
"I haven't seen it. This boy is devoted to his work. You see that you are married. That boy doesn't even have a girlfriend, and he doesn't know when he can bring me one back."
Vivian sighed. She also advised Chris that no matter what kind of woman, fat and thin, tall and short, beautiful or smoking, she should always bring one back to show her family. As a result, what did the man say? Career was the most important thing, and his girlfriend was not in a hurry.
Her son had worked so hard at work that she couldn't keep urging Chris to fall in love, and she didn't know if this time was better.
"My husband and I have broken up. There was no notarization at the beginning. We just dissolved our love relationship."
Penny was worried that Vivian had misunderstood her emotional affairs and explained quickly.
"But when I came back, I had already met Chris's girlfriend. She was gorgeous. Don't you know, aunt?"
Penny picked up the coffee in front of her, took a sip, put it down, and then said it to her.
"I don't know. You said he had a girlfriend. Is that true?"
Vivian became pretty serious. Penny thought Vivian was angry. Then she continued: "It seems that the two have a good relationship. They should soon mention marriage, but the girl's family conditions are quite bad. I don't know if there will be some trouble at that time."
Family conditions were not good, would there be trouble?
There were many kinds of conditions and troubles. The more people in high positions, the more delicate their minds were. A simple sentence could also remind them of more interests.
"Well, Penny, thank you for telling your aunt this and worrying you. But, unfortunately, Chris is a child, which is worrying."
Penny saw that Vivian was already worried about Chris's life-long events. So she didn't continue to say the following words, fearing that everything would turn against her, but provoked Vivian to have a problem with her and think she was talkative.
Vivian made an appointment with the beauty salon for maintenance in the afternoon. After sitting with Penny for a while, she asked the driver to pick her up.
Knowing that the affluent ladies' lifestyles weren't as easy to change, Penny sent Vivian to the car and returned to the hotel by herself.
Vivian had been dignified for hours, and when she got in the car, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Married to a family like The Konev Family, she would meet various people. But, could Penny believe her words?
Chris was her son. Vivian knew her son very much.
Chris was not stupid. If this girl were ordinary, she would never get close to Chris. But I still want to thank Penny. Without her, Vivian still doesn't know about his son's love.
Vivian heard that her daughter-in-law was excellent, and she couldn't wait to meet that little girl.
"This way, Mrs. Konev."
In the beauty salon, Vivian booked a VIP beauty room, where there were two-on-one private services. These people would protect customers' privacy and would never be disturbed. What Vivian liked was the privacy here.
She nodded and went in. When she entered the room, she took out her mobile phone and called her son.
