The room became quiet again.
Yvonne blushed and pushed Henry away. "It's all your fault for making my mom misunderstand."
"Let it be then," Henry replied nonchalantly.
Yvonne didn’t bother reacting to him as she raised her foot and walked towards the door.
"What are you doing?" Henry stretched out his hand to hold her.
Yvonne looked back at him. "What else can I do? Of course I’m going downstairs. Otherwise, we would actually just stay here forever."
After she said that, she continued to walk towards the door.
Henry had no choice so he went down with her as well.
Mrs. Smith was drinking tea in the living room on the first floor of the manor. When she saw the two of them coming down, she was a little surprised. "Why did you come down so quickly? Why didn't you guys take a break?"
Yvonne walked over, feeling a little embarrassed. "I don’t need to rest, I want to come down and talk to you, Mom. When did you come back?" she asked as she sat next to Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Smith touched her head. "I just came back not too long ago. Your dad heard that you were here, so he wanted me to come back and accompany you guys first. By the way, have you eaten yet?"
Mrs. Smith looked at Henry who was sitting on the sofa opposite them.
Henry was pouring a glass of water and when he heard this, he handed the glass of water to Yvonne.
Yvonne replied, "Not yet, we just got off the plane."
"Perfect, we’ll ask William to make arrangements with the kitchen. What would you like to eat?" Mrs. Smith asked again.
Yvonne looked at Henry. "What would you like to eat, darling?"
Henry's thin lips opened lightly and he replied," Anything."
Yvonne looked at William again. "Then William, just prepare what I like."
"Yes, my lady." William nodded and went to the kitchen to follow her orders.
Mrs. Smith knocked Yvonne on the head. "Hey, you. You only asked for what you like. Aren't you afraid that Henry doesn't like it?"
"He won't, he's not a picky eater. Isn’t that right, darling?" Yvonne looked at Henry with a smile.
Henry took a sip of tea indifferently. "Mom, she's right.
"You’re spoiling her. One day, when she gets too spoiled, it'll be too late for you to regret it." Mrs. Smith pretended to say angrily.
However, although she said so, there was joy in her eyes.
Obviously, Mrs. Smith was very happy to see Henry spoiling Yvonne so much.
Soon, food was served.
Yvonne and Henry went to the dining room for dinner, while Mrs. Smith went to the garden outside to trim the flowers she had planted.
After the meal, Henry went out. William took him to the Smith Group to talk to Mr. Smith about working together.
Their collaboration had just been finalized not long ago, so there were still many things to be discussed. Since he was already there, he could do some work as well.
Yvonne stayed at the manor to chat with her mother.
Mrs. Smith was very interested in their honeymoon trip and asked Yvonne to tell her about it.
Yvonne picked some of their interesting times to tell Mrs. Smith.
When Mrs. Smith heard about it, she was envious. " When I married your dad, we didn't have a
honeymoon." "Why?" Yvonne asked while peeling an apple.
Mrs. Smith took a sip of black tea. "Because at that time, your father had just taken over the company and the company was in a civil strife. Relatives from the Smith family wanted to get a share of the pie, so your father was busy trying to stabilize the company. He didn't have time to accompany me to a honeymoon. When the company finally stabilized, your brother was already two years old, so we gave up on our honeymoon."
"It's okay. After Brother inherits the group, you can travel with Dad and that trip can be your honeymoon." Yvonne cut the apples into small pieces and put them on a small plate before pushing them in front of Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Smith picked a piece and put it in her mouth. " We're so old already-what honeymoon do we need?"
She smiled and shook her head.
"Why can't you go on your honeymoon, Mom? You have such a great relationship with Dad, so you should do as I say and just give it a try. Not to mention, you’re still so young. What makes you think that you're old?" Yvonne said while holding Mrs. Smith's hand.
