Celeste was amused by Leah, and she sincerely admired her. She was very straightforward and was able to make jokes. It could be seen that she was a very tolerating girl.
She agreed with Aunt Grace. Leah was indeed a great match for Ernest.
Ernest seemed gentle and kind, but Leah was lively and easy. Their personalities complemented each other's very well.
A little while ago, Leah commented that Ernest was not feminine at all. Thus, it seems that Ernest had already shown Leah his true self.
Leah felt that only if someone really liked another person, would they display their true side to them.
Judging from how worried Ernest was towards Leah earlier on, the two of them most likely were really made for each other. Celeste could tell that Ernest really liked Leah. He liked her, that was why he cared about her, and that was why he was worried that she would feel unhappy just because of something that he said.
She watched them being a pair of lovebirds, and Celeste sincerely wished the best for them.
Grace thought that Leah was a really good girl too. The more she looked at her, the more she liked how straightforward she was.
She was one who was bold enough to make jokes, and she wasn't a boring girl.
If Ernest lived together with someone with such an interesting character, his life would truly be filled with a lot more happiness.
She knew, from her life experiences, that a person's personality was a key factor in their success.
With a great and interesting personality, that person and the people around them would naturally have a more interesting and happier life.
Therefore, the more Grace looked at Leah, the more she liked her. She increasingly felt that having his son by Leah's side was a great thing too.
Tenderness and cheerfulness could be seen in her eyes.
"It looks like Ernest has really shown you his true colors. He is a person who is cold on the outside but enthusiastic on the inside, comparable to Gary. It's just that Gary had been overly cold in the past, so Ernest seemed to be a lot gentler and understanding in comparison. However, in fact, the two of them are quite alike."
After all, they were her children, so she knew them all too well.
Grace knew her children's personalities just way too well.
Leah covered her mouth and laughed. She nodded. She agreed that Ernest's character and personality aligned with Grace's descriptions quite well in some aspects.
"He... Yes, I guess he is."
She said that just to be polite.
Grace smiled and said, "Oh you... you don't have to help Ernest to hide anything. It is okay, he is not here. We can secretly talk ill of him."
Leah chuckled. How could there be such an interesting mother? Did she want her own son to make a fool of himself in front of his future wife?
"Aunt Grace, you are talking ill of Ernest. Aren't you afraid that I will give up on him and run away?" Leah could not help teasing.
"Ha, will you be willing to leave him?" Grace blinked. "You know him well already. There isn't anyone else more suitable to be your partner, is there?"
Leah's small face turned red at once as she nodded. "That's right, I can't bear to leave him." "Then, there is nothing that I should worry about.
Just talk ill about Ernest to your heart's content. It's all right. I won't tell him. I just want to hear more about how boring my own son is too."
Leah thought that even though they were joking, a mother would always show attentiveness when it came to her own son. She might be actually testing her to see if she was suitable to be Ernest's wife.
Leah couldn't not give her a response, but she needed to answer properly as well.
"Aunt Grace, to tell you the truth, Ernest is quite a great person. Sometimes he might act a little overbearing, but most of the time, he is very gentle and tolerant towards me. On the contrary, I couldn't help but would throw some tantrums sometimes, but he always tolerates me. It is my honor to have met him, and to be his girlfriend.
Today, I feel that coming to the Jones family's house and meeting you is my honor too. If I could be Ernest's wife in the future, I would consider myself the luckiest woman in the world.
At the same time, I too hope that I can help Ernest to become the best version of himself. I want us to both have great achievements, and I want both of us to help each other achieve excellence."
Her words were sincere and pleasing to the ear. After Grace heard it, she smiled. Leah was truly a
smart girl.
She could praise them so subtly and perfectly. Grace smiled. "Don't be nervous. I am very satisfied with you. Leah, you are a great girl." Leah heaved a sigh of relief.
Did that mean she had passed the test?
