Chapter 73: Getting Along Well

The dinner lasted a long time. After eating for some time, Janna Sands was in a really good mood, and she opened a bottle of red wine. Yvette Quinn did not refuse and drank with her.

William Scott did not stop her. His mother had no problem with her alcohol tolerance and usually liked to drink a little. As for Yvette Quinn, it was normal for her to want to release her stress.

He went to his room, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number.

“I’ll give you thirty-six hours to check this man out.”

“It’s easy.”

William Scott sent Charles Woods’ basic information and then cast his phone aside. Since Charles Woods refused to let them off, he did not mind getting rid of such scum.

After doing this, William Scott sent a crying emoji to Xenia Lewis.

“Huh? Yvette saw me?” Xenia Lewis’ reply was peppered with a myriad of emojis. It was obvious that she was in a fluster.

“No.” William Scott didn’t scare her.

“Didn’t you say my sister wouldn’t come to your place? Why did she suddenly appear?”

“How would I know? She came to my house and didn’t tell me in advance. Oh, I understand it now. When I told my mom that I’ve invited you to go to my house, my mother reacted calmly. It was obvious that Yvette has already communicated with my mother.”

“Damn, you were careless. You almost got me killed.”

“What are you afraid of? If she sees you, so be it.” William Scott casually sent two smiley faces.

“No, no. What would happen if they saw me? What would my sister think if I secretly went to your house for a meal as your girlfriend? If she assumes that I have any intentions about you, wouldn’t I be unable to clear my name? I grew up with Yvette and we have a close relationship. I can’t let my relationship be affected because of you, especially if it’s a misunderstanding.”

“I have a feeling you’re making things a little complicated.”

“Anyway, don’t talk nonsense. By the way, has my sister left?”

William Scott sent a photo to Xenia Lewis. It was a photo of his mother drinking with Yvette Quinn. “She’s still drinking.”

“Damn, is this my sister? She actually drank like this? This completely changes my understanding of her.”

“She probably wants to be more like you. After all, you were the one who first planted the image with my mother.”

“I’m not like this either. Oh my god, looks like love can really change everything. Even someone like my sister can have such a huge change.” A bunch of exclamation marks and emojis followed.

Before William Scott could reply, Xenia Lewis sent another message. “By the way, you have to tell me these things clearly in the future. Sometimes, my sister’s intentions are unclear. If I pretend to be her again, it will be very awkward if something goes wrong.”

“Okay, I’ll let you know. My mom called for me. I have to wait on the two ladies.”

William Scott was not making excuses. At this moment, Janna Sands was indeed shouting outside, “Son, my son! Brat, where did you go? Go and heat up the fish soup. It’s so cold. How can we drink it?”

Yvette Quinn quickly replied, “Auntie, I’ll heat it up.”

Janna Sands stopped Yvette Quinn and said, “No, you don’t have to lift a finger. Just let this brat serve us. Let me tell you, a man wants respect in front of outsiders. As long as we give them enough respect outside, we can order them around at home. They don’t even dare to utter a complaint. Son, am I right?”

William Scott immediately replied, “That’s right, that’s right. Mom is right. I’ll heat up the fish soup for you now. Oh right, I’ll heat up these dishes for you too. We might as well mix them together. They’ll taste better.”

Seeing that William Scott was busy, Janna Sands smiled at Yvette Quinn and said, “Yvette, let me tell you, no matter where you are, if your man’s family or friends are around, you have to support him. You have to give him enough respect. Just like his dad and I, as long as his friends are with us, I will serve him willingly and with respect. Then, everyone will praise him for having a good wife. A man’s ego will be greatly satisfied. After they leave, and the only two of you are left, at that time, he will be grateful and he will wait on you gratefully.”

“There’s no difference between dating, getting married or being friends. You show me respect and I’ll support you. Only then can this relationship get along for a long time. If you only rely on one party to give and the other party to enjoy it, no matter how great the advantage is, one party will eventually get tired of it.”

Yvette Quinn listened attentively. When Janna Sands stopped, she said, “Auntie, thank you for your guidance. I take my work too seriously, so I tend to neglect my relationships. You have to remind me more in the future.”

Janna Sands clinked her glass with Yvette Quinn and took a sip. “As long as you come over often in the future, I’ll pass on all my experience to you. Don’t assume that just because I’ve never had a job or done anything important, I don’t know anything. When it comes to coaxing men, I’m definitely comparable to anyone else. When you meet William’s father, you’ll understand even better.” Only then did she finish the wine in her glass.

Yvette Quinn took a big gulp. “Auntie, you’re my role model. Come, let’s continue drinking.”

They drank from seven until ten o’clock. The large bottle of red wine was empty when they stopped.

Yvette Quinn was drunk and her actions were a little clumsy, but she still insisted on going home. Of course, William Scott had to be in charge of this mission.

In front of his mother, Yvette Quinn held his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. However, when they reached the elevator, she didn’t straighten herself. She still maintained this posture.

It wasn’t until they were out of the elevator that Yvette Quinn stood up straight and rubbed her forehead. “I have embarrassed myself today.”

William Scott smiled and said gently, “It’s fine. We need to release the negative emotions in our hearts at the right time. Otherwise, if there’s too much, it will cause harm to our bodies.”

Yvette Quinn sighed. “I know, but sometimes, I really don’t have anywhere to release the stress.”

“In the future, if you have time to chat with my mother, you’ll realize how wonderful the world is and how joyful life is.”

A smile spread across her face. “Your mother is indeed a cheerful person. I feel much more relaxed with her.”

William Scott drove Yvette Quinn’s car all the way back. As he was leaving, he said, “Make an appointment with Director Woods for the night after tomorrow.”

She looked at William Scott, who had just left. “This guy is serious indeed. Then what methods does he have to settle this matter?”

She actually felt a sense of anticipation rather than suspicion at this point.
