Chapter 83: Mom’s Scheme

On Friday night, William Scott’s dad, Graham Scott, also rushed back. He was a slightly old-fashioned man. He was usually serious and always had a stoic expression. However, with Janna Sands around, he had no say at all. When Janna Sands glared at him, he could only listen obediently.

On Saturday morning, there was a knock on the door. William Scott hurriedly went over to welcome Xenia Lewis.

“Yvette, why did you come up? Didn’t I tell you to wait in the car?” Janna Sands said with a smile.

“I wanted to see if I could help.” Xenia Lewis was actually a little nervous today. After all, this was the first time she would meet William Scott’s father.

Janna Sands smiled brightly and said, “Hubby, look at how sensible our daughter-in-law is.”

Graham Scott nodded repeatedly. At least, this first impression of her did make him feel good.

Xenia Lewis hurriedly greeted Graham Scott and went over to help Janna Sands organize his stuff.

As Janna Sands spoke, she even reassured Xenia Lewis. “You don’t have to care about that old man. He has a poker face. In this house, I have the final say.”

Xenia Lewis didn’t know whether to nod or not. For a moment, she was a little embarrassed. William Scott hurriedly came over and said, “Mom, you have to respect Dad in front of others.”

Janna Sands replied sharply, “When have I not given your father respect in front of outsiders? Yvette is not an outsider. We’re family. Why should I put on such an act? Hubby, don’t you think so?”

Graham Scott said helplessly, “Can I disagree?”

“What do you think?” Janna Sands raised her chin and said with a smile, “Yvette, you can’t pamper a man too much. In the future, you can deal with William in whatever you like. I’m definitely on your side.”

“Thank you, Auntie.” Xenia Lewis nodded repeatedly and turned to wink at William Scott smugly.

Graham Scott looked at William Scott sympathetically and said, “Son, I wasn’t a good role model. Looks like you have to follow my path for the rest of your life.”

Janna Sands glared at him and said, “Are you still unconvinced? Why? Are you regretting it because you’ve been unhappy with me all these years?”

Graham Scott hurriedly interjected, “I’m happy. I’m used to it, but I also want my son to be better than me. But as a mother, why did you sell your son away so easily?”

After packing up, William Scott basically carried nearly everything. Then, Graham Scott took some stuff and Xenia Lewis wanted to help. Janna Sands pulled her hand away and led her away. She said, “We have to let them do this kind of physical work. Otherwise, they won’t be able to show their masculinity. We can’t deprive them of their chance.”

Xenia Lewis said humbly, “All right, I’ll remember.”

Graham Scott and William Scott looked at each other behind them, and shook their heads at the same time.

After getting into the car, William Scott got in the driver’s seat. This time, Janna Sands led Graham Scott to the back while Xenia Lewis sat in the front passenger seat.

It was a long journey from William Scott’s house to his grandmother’s house. It would take about four hours.

After being on the road for some time, Janna Sands took out two apples and handed one to Xenia Lewis. “Yvette, have an apple.”

“It’s a little big. I can’t finish it.” Xenia Lewis took the apple and seemed a little awkward.

Janna Sands said casually, “You and William can share it.”

Xenia Lewis saw that Janna Sands did not hand her a fruit knife. After taking a few bites, Janna Sands handed her apple to Graham Scott. He took it and took a bite. Only then did she understand what Janna Sands meant for the two of them to share an apple.

She stole a glance at William Scott, who was driving, and her face turned slightly red. Then, she gently took a bite of her apple.

The apple was indeed quite sweet. After taking two bites, Xenia Lewis handed the apple to William Scott and said, “You eat it too. It’s very sweet.”

William Scott held the steering wheel with one hand and took the apple with the other. He took a big bite and replied, “Yeah, it’s sweet.”

Janna Sands said proudly, “Do you think I go grocery shopping with a blindfold? I remember clearly about everything such as the best restaurant in the area. Otherwise, how can you guys have the best food every time?”

“Rascal, if Yvette gives the apple to you, you shouldn’t eat everything. Do you still remember your girlfriend?” Seeing that William Scott had eaten most of it in a few bites, Janna Sands reprimanded her son angrily. Her son was like a block of wood.

William Scott hurriedly handed the apple to Xenia Lewis and said, “I thought she didn’t want to eat it anymore.”

Janna Sands snorted and said, “You idiot. Yevette thinks of you, but you’re just like your father.”

Xenia Lewis took the apple from him. She was in a dilemma. When she took two bites and handed it to him, she seemed to be able to accept the situation. She would let him eat her saliva and he would only take a little advantage of her. But now, she had to eat what was left of the apple. But now…

She stole a glance at William Scott and noticed that he didn’t seem to care at all. She couldn’t help but feel a little disgruntled. As an imposter, she really paid a huge price.

Forget it, forget it. she shall eat the apple. After all, he saved her life. How could she not play along?

After giving herself a reason, Xenia Lewis picked up the remaining apple and ate it. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Janna Sands had prepared a lot of food. First, it was an apple. After a while, she passed her other food.

At first, it was a little awkward for Xenia Lewis to share food with William Scott. But after a while, she thought that it was no big deal. She took a bite herself and then leaned over to stuff it into his mouth. This way, it wouldn’t affect him driving.

Through the rear view mirror, William Scott noticed his mother giving him a smug look. At first, he was stunned, but he quickly understood.

So his mother had deliberately set this up. She had probably observed that although the two of them seemed to be on good terms, they were not close at all.

She was indeed his mother. There was nothing to say about her observation skills. However, this also made William Scott feel guilty. Did his mother realize that his girlfriend was fake?

He thought that he was very intelligent. Both Xenia Lewis and Yvette Quinn assumed that their acting skills were not bad. In his mother’s eyes, their performances had probably hundreds of loopholes.

William Scott even suspected that his mother had already seen through their act and had deliberately pretended to be confused. She was slowly trying to change the situation.

However, William Scott did not dare to ask his mother about his suspicions. If his mother did not discover it, wouldn’t he have confessed for no reason? If his mother flipped out and asked him to go on a blind date with a bunch of women, he would go crazy. Therefore, it was better to pretend to be clueless.
