Cynthia looked calm, but she was actually very nervous. She was barely afraid of something. However, the smiling gaze of thegraciousmother—in—law standing in front of her made her subconsciously clenchthe corner of her clothes. She lowered her head and said, "Hello, Mrs. Williams, my name is Cynthia, and I ama friend of Keith."
Cynthia did not dare to pretend to be Keith's girlfriend. After all, they had only met before, and neither of them had truly understood each other. Now that they had started as friends, it would not let the elder feel that they were too casual.
"Friend? Keith actually made such a beautiful friend. Come in and have a seat. You've been traveling all day. Keith, hurry up and bring Cynthia in." Mrs. Williams's eyes turned and she stared at her youngest son's face. She muttered to herself, "Wouldhe have coaxed another innocent girl home to make me happy?"
Keith was stared at by his mother's smiling eyes, andfelt scared. He quickly held Cynthia's hand and walked towards the living room.
Tinge andCreamy seemed to have remembered that Mrs. Williams said that Keithspent money to hire a “girlfriend” to go home. They looked at each other and smiled in unison. There would be a good show to watch.
In the living room of the Williams Family, it had never been so lively. Keith personally made tea and poured water, and even cut the fruit on the table square. Mrs. Williams couldn't help but ask Cynthia, "Miss Tonks, where do you live?"
"Mrs. Williams, I temporarily live abroad. I work there." Cynthia replied softly.
"Oh? You work abroad? What kind of work do you do? It can't be designlike what Keith does, right?" Mrs. Williams guessed that she must be her son's colleague.
"No, I used to be a policeman. Now I have asked for a long vacation to rest." Cynthia didn't want to lie to her.Shejust simplified her work.
"I see. How did you andKeith get to know each other?" Don't blame Mrs. Williams for talking too much. Her son finally brought a beautiful woman home. Mrs. Williams was really anxious and wanted to say something nice for her son. She looked at her eldest son who was sitting beside her and hersettleddaughter—in—law. She thought that if the two brothers could get married on the same day, it would be very memorable. In the future, she could help take care of their children at the same time.
Cynthia was stunned by the question. She looked up at Keith and asked for help. Tinge who was sitting beside her, was also nervous. He was afraid that Cynthia would tell the truth. He hurriedly said, "Mom, stop asking. This is the first time Miss Tonkscomes to our house. If you keep asking, she will be nervous."
Only then did Mrs. Williamsrealized thatshe had asked too much. She hurriedly explained embarrassedly, "Miss Tonks, please don't mind. I became talktive when Igotold."
"I won't, Mrs. Williams. I know you just care about me."Cynthia smiled and shook her head. She heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She was grateful forTinge's help. If Mrs. Williams continued to ask, she really didn't know how to answer.
When Keith came out of the kitchen after washing the fruit, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. He threw a grape into his mouth and walked over while eating.
"I'll leave you young people to chat. Let me check if the food is ready." Mrs. Williams smiled and turned to leave.
"Did I miss something?" Keithasked, turning his eyes.
"Miss Tonks, I'm sorry for interrupting you just now. My mother doesn't know about our revenge overseas. Please help us keep it a secret." Tinge lowered his voice and pleaded with Cynthia.
Cynthia had already guessed.The atmosphere of the Williams Family was so warm after a life—and—death battle. It could be seen that Mrs. Williams did not know about this. Cynthia had a keen mind, so when Mrs. Williams asked her, she did not know what to say.
"I will."Cynthia nodded.
