When Mary saw her mother turn around, she immediately wanted to get off the carriage. She was wearing a red jacket, had long black hair, and a face full of makeup. As she walked in the spring breeze, she felt that she was even more charming than the flowers on the flowerbed beside her.
"Mom, what did you talk to him about?" Mary anxiously walked over to Catherine and asked her in a low voice.
"Nothing much, just a casual chat. If you want to talk to him, then go. I'll be going home first!" Catherine would never interfere with her daughter's actions, she knew that meddling in others' affairs would only hurt her daughter's heart, and would only let her learn how to let go.
"Then can I have dinner with him tonight? I promise, I'll only eat! " Mary pleaded as he looked at his mother.
"Alright, as long as you're happy!" Catherine didn't have to be as strict towards her as she was before, she could decide for herself.
"Mom, thank you!" Mary suddenly felt embarrassed.
Catherine laughed angrily: "It's really rare to hear you thank someone. Come back soon!"
"Alright, Mom. Don't cook tonight, I'll pack it up and bring it back!" There were no servants here, so when Catherine asked him to make food for herself, she pitied her.
"Alright, then don't make me starve!" After Catherine finished speaking, he went to the car to retrieve her bag and directly went upstairs.
Mary's anxious footsteps suddenly slowed down when she was not far from the man.
She had her hands behind her back and her long, messy hair fluttering in the wind. Her pretty face was lowered as she approached the man step by step.
"Why did you come here without saying hello?" Mary raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the man's deep and beautiful eyes as she asked.
Leo restrained his emotions, his thin lips slightly lifted, and with a gentle tone: "I had originally wanted to come over and give you a pleasant surprise, but who would've thought that it would now become a fright."
"Scared by my mother?" Mary could not help bursting out laughing. He liked to see Leo's frightened look, something that was rarely seen.
Leo nodded his head, and also felt a little embarrassed. "That's right, I believe that all son — in - law would have a kind of deep -seated fear for their future mother-in-law, and it's the same for me!"
"What did you say!" Mary suddenly blushed. Why did he still have to act like a son-in-law? They couldn't even put two and two together.
Only then did Leo realize that he had blurted out something. He let out a low laugh: "If you don't like it, I won't say it, what did you say to your mother just now?"
"I said that you should treat me to a meal tonight. We haven't seen each other for quite some time, so we should still have a meal." Mary obviously wanted to eat with him, and she even made up a reasonable excuse.
"Really?" Leo had thought that he would be called back soon, but he never thought that he would have the chance to have dinner with her.
"What's real? It's fake, don't you want to treat me to a meal?" Mary purposely misunderstood his meaning.
"Of course not. Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal!" Leo was overjoyed, which was why he spoke in such an urgent tone.
Only then did Mary follow him and sat in his car.
Every time Leo came to find her, he would always drive here himself, and did not let the driver see him off.
This time was no different. Mary sat in the front passenger seat, and when she fastened her seat belt, she purposely sighed: "In the future, I don't even know who will replace me in this position. Sigh, just thinking about it makes me sad."
Hearing her piteous tone, Leo knew that she was putting on an act for him. He could not help but say: "Don't worry, other than you, no one else will be able to sit in this position."
Seeing his serious reply, Mary pursed her lips and laughed: "I was only joking with you, why did you take it seriously?"
