Coralie did not expect Xenia to be troubled by this matter.
"It won't. Don't worry, you are different from me."
Coralie persuaded her.
"What is the difference? We are both women. Besides, it is said that all mothers-in-law do not like their daughters-in-law," Xenia said and became even more worried. "It's over! No matter what I wear tonight, his mother will not approve of me."
Coralie looked at Xenia, and she did not know whether to laugh or cry. She stood still, pinched Xenia's face, and said, "You are beautiful and have a good family background. If his mother disapproves of you, then it will be her loss."
"But what if..."
"There is no 'what if'." Coralie pulled Xenia into a women's clothing store. "You, just pick one outfit that you like. Dr. Felton's mother will definitely approve of you."
"Really?" Xenia asked.
"Absolutely!"
Coralie felt that since Xenia was a good candidate, Harvey's mother had no reason not to approve of her.
Xenia was 2 years younger than Coralie. She was 28 years old this year, but her dressing style was different from Coralie's.
She dressed like a young lady in her early 20s. Sometimes she wore a sweater, short skirt and sneakers. She could easily sneak into a university and blend in as a student.
However, Xenia knew very well that she could not wear sportswear that day. Instead, she bought an ordinary T-shirt and a pair of jeans.
However, she looked no different from other girls in their early twenties.
Xenia liked the outfit very much. After putting it on, she stood in front of the mirror and looked very satisfied. She did not forget to turn to ask Coralie, "Is this good enough for me to meet my future father-in-law and mother-in-law? Is it too casual?"
"This suits your personality perfectly. Or would you like to pick the dress from the store just now?"
Coralie and Xenia had seen a light blue dress in the previous store that looked very beautiful. However, Xenia was not suitable to wear that dress as she had an active personality.
"Maybe..."
Xenia nodded.
She decisively changed her clothes and went to pay the bill.
However, when they turned to exit the mall, Xenia suddenly pulled Coralie to the entrance of the blue dress store and said, "No, I want to wear this instead."
"You want to wear this instead?"
Coralie was slightly surprised. She thought that Xenia was going to show her real self after what she said.
"Yes, I think that a normal mother-in-law would like such a daughter-in-law."
As she spoke, Xenia walked to the counter and bought the light blue dress she had tried on earlier.
The skirt was long and it reached her knees.
Xenia directly wore the dress and left the store after paying for it. To suit the dress, Xenia took off her flat shoes, bought a pair of sandals with thin straps and put them on. Then, she went to the beauty salon to style her hair.
To Coralie, Xenia looked like a different person.
She transformed from a lively young girl to a young lady from a noble family.
"Do I look good?"
After Xenia finished her makeup and everything was done, she stood in front of Coralie.
Coralie looked at her from head to toe, then nodded and said, "Yes, you look great."
Although she looked great, Xenia seemed different from her usual self.
However, as Xenia liked how she was dressed, Coralie did not comment any further.
At this time, Harvey had got off work. After Coralie accompanied Xenia to buy some healthcare supplements, they went to the underground parking lot to meet Harvey.
Sure enough, when Xenia got out of the elevator and walked towards Harvey's car, he was stunned.
"Dr. Felton, are you surprised?"
Coralie saw Harvey's expression and knew that it must be the first time he had seen Xenia looking like this.
