CHAPTER 76: YVONNE’S GOING TO MEET THE FUTURE PARENTS-IN-LAWS, THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED

They were at the Butterfly Club and the dinner was over.

During the meal, Zachary talked about some details of cooperation with Micheal.

Then, they signed the contract on the spot.

The contract between the Leinster Group and the Quick Group had been accomplished. And Yvonne was relieved.

At the entrance of the club.

"I’m so tired."

After seeing Micheal off, Yvonne finally felt relaxed.

After playing golf and brainstorming for a day, Yvonne felt that her whole body was overloaded, and she just wanted to go home and lie down to rest.

Thinking of that it must have been a common thing for Zachary, she turned her head and said, "It turns out that you always talk about business in such a way. It’s so tiring."

"Now I’m used to it, it’s no longer tiring."

Zachary replied, "If you think it’s hard, you can be the beautiful wife. I’ll be responsible for making money and supporting the family, okay?"

She curled her lips. "Um, no!"

"Why not?"

"Mr. Quick praised me for being very talented!" The little girl rubbed her little arms and legs. "How can I be satisfied by being a beautiful ignorant woman? I am responsible for making money and supporting the family. And you are responsible...

Hey, you are responsible..." Yvonne couldn’t think of any proper words for the moment. "What should you be responsible for?"

"Huh? Of course I’m responsible for making you comfortable—"

"No... Hmm!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man’s lips fell down on hers and kissed her passionately!

Yvonne giggled from the kiss.

There were people walking by the gate of the Butterfly Club constantly. Zachary directly held the little girl in his arms and kissed her. Their intimacy attracted strangers’ gaze from time to time.

*

The news of Yvonne successfully getting the deal of the land in the east of the city quickly spread.

It was not only spread inside the Leinster Group, but also in the whole upper class! Frank and Yesmina also heard of their daughter’s talents and praised her. Without doubt, this matter was also heard by another person—Jack Leinster. In the Leinster’s Mansion.

On this day, Zachary received a phone call from his father, asking him to go home for dinner and telling him there was something to talk about.

After sending Yvonne home after work, Zachary drove his Rolls-Royce back to the Leinster’s Mansion.

Jack sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea.

"Sit down, let’s talk."

The man was in his sixties and was already a little old. His hair was grey, but his shrewdness was unfathomable.

"Dad, what’s the matter?"

"I heard that you’ve got the land of the Quick’s Group? Are you going to turn it into a sight of tourism?"

"Yes."

"The basic idea is right. We should pay more attention to the investment of tourism in the future... But I heard that the person you brought with you to compete with the Green Source was an intern?"

Although Jack had retired, he had a lot of followers in the company, which was undoubtable.

"It’s Yvonne Taylor." Zachary admitted directly.

"Yvonne Taylor?"

"Yes, she talked Mr. Quick into selling the piece of land this time."

"Oh?"

Jack took a sip of tea with great interest.

He knew about Frank Taylor’s daughter.

It was just that she was too young. Jack had never paid any attention to her when considering a daughter- in-law or a competitor. But recently, her name seemed to have been mentioned a lot.

"If I remember correctly, she’s not twenty years old, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you like that girl very much?"

Zachary’s expression kept calm, and he spat out a word, "Yes."

"You are not young. Since you like her, you should take her home sometime and let us meet her."

After saying this, Jack seemed a little tired and leaned back on the sofa.

Yeliz just happened to come out of the kitchen. When she saw Zachary, she couldn’t hide the surprise in her eyes.

Jack caught a glimpse of her eyes and curled his lips. He deliberately said,

"Zachary, I’ve always wanted to find you an good wife, whether it’s the daughter of the Wonka family or other blind dates. But that’s because you’ve claimed that there is nobody you like."

"Now, since you have met the woman you really like, I won’t arrange blind dates for you. I was worried that she was too young and frivolous, but now it seems that she is really an extraordinary girl. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes."

Jack made his meaning pretty clear. When Yeliz heard it, she immediately bit her lips!

"Jack actually agreed! He asked Zachary to take Yvonne Taylor home!"

She held back her tears, held the medicine, and forced out a smile.

"It’s time to take medicine."

As if he hadn’t seen it, Jack casually pointed and said, "Put it there."

*

When Yvonne knew that Jack wanted to meet her, she was so scared that she almost fell off the bed!

"What?! Your father wants to see me?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"In these three days. You should get ready."

"What?"

No matter in her previous life or in this life, the little girl hadn’t been afraid of anything. This time, she really a horrible feeling about meeting the future parents-in-law, so she panicked badly!

"What should I do? I’m not prepared at all. What kind of girl does your father like? No, I have to bring a gift, right?"

"I will prepare for that. Don’t worry."

"What kind of clothes should I wear?"

Yvonne had already started to speak in a panic.

Seeing her nervous look, Zachary found it incredibly adorable.

"You have to go to work tomorrow. After the lunch break, I’ll take you to the mall to buy a dress in the afternoon. Now, go to sleep, huh?"

"No, no, I’m still so nervous."

"Zachary’s aura is already very strong. What does his father look like?"

Yvonne imagined countless times how she would meet with Zachary’s father.

However, no matter how nervous she was, the day of their meeting had arrived.

*

They were arranged to meet at dinner on a Friday.

On Friday, Frank was on a business trip. On Thursday night, before Frank left, Yvonne begged him not to go and asked him to accompany her to meet Zachary’s father as a support.

Unexpectedly, Frank just said impatiently, "Your father is the chairman of a listed company. Do you think I’m a bodyguard? Support you? It’s just a meeting with Jack Leinster. Don’t be so terrified."

After mocking her for a while, he happily sat on his Bentley and went to the neighboring capital city, leaving Yvonne alone at home...

*

Before going to the Leinster;s Mansion, Yvonne went to the company’s bathroom to change into the white dress prepared by Zachay. She put on natural makeup.

She looked very adorable, like a quiet little white flower.

Seeing that she was wearing a light lip gloss, Zachary couldn’t help teasing her.

"What’s wrong? Are you tired of being a gorgeous attractive beauty and want to turn yourself into an innocent pure girl?"

"Nonsense! You know nothing about it! Every parent hates bright colored lipstick, okay?"

After that, she took Zachary’s arm and walked to the car.

Seeing that she was naturally holding his hand, Zachary couldn’t help showing a satisfied expression.

*

In the Leinster’s Mansion.

Yvonne had been very nervous since she got on the car.

When the car arrived at the gate of the mansion, her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat!

"Is there any taboo in meeting your father? What should I say and what should I not say?"

Zachary said lightly, "There’s nothing to be afraid of. You just need to be calm."

That being said, when Yvonne entered the door and saw the people inside, she had already encountered a special situation.

Yvonne saw the woman standing in the living room—Yeliz Raven. She looked at clothes Yeliz was wearing and was stunned.

...

The white lotus leaf dress was long enough to reach her knees.

It was in a delicate and simple style.

Most importantly, the dress was exactly the same as the one she was wearing.

When two women were dressed in the same clothing, the one who was uglier was more embarrassed.

Yvonne was not uglier than Yeliz. Instead, she was much more beautiful than Yeliz, but she still felt very embarrassed.

She subconsciously looked at the man beside her. Zachary’s expression was as calm as usual, as if he didn’t feel anything at all.

However, Yvonne felt uncomfortable. This was the clothes he had prepared! "What does he mean? Does he take me as a substitute?" At the thought of this, Yvonne’s heart ached!

There was no doubt that she believed that Zachary was in love with her, but no matter in her previous life or this life, she knew nothing about Yeliz!

It was only in this life that she knew the existence of Yeliz.

Because of the unknown, she was afraid, and she was worried that there would be variables. Therefore she had no sense of security.

But at this moment, a big hand caught her.

"Don’t worry, just make yourself at home."

Zachary thought that she was being nervous, so he comforted her in a gentle voice.

Yvonne put away her worries.

She was not the kind of woman who didn’t see the big picture. No matter what, it was better to meet Jack Leinster first.

Jack had been in the study. When he heard that Yvonne was here, he came out of the study.

Yvonne took the gift she had specially selected, bowed respectfully, and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Leinster."

"Hi."

Jack looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly noticed that she was wearing the same clothes as Yeliz. His expression changed.

Yvonne noticed the change in his eyes and said, "It’s my first time to visit the Leinster Family. I was a little nervous, so I went to the mall to buy a new dress. I

didn’t expect to buy a same one as Yeliz’s. I guess today is a good day."

When Jack saw her say that, a rare smile appeared on his usually serious face.

"What a clever girl. No wonder Zachary thinks you all the time."

"Haha."

Yvonne was very adorable, and when she smiled, she looked more lovely.

Yeliz, who was standing to the side, clearly felt that she had lost. She hid the loneliness in her eyes and whispered, "I’ll go to the kitchen to serve the dishes first."

*

The food was personally cooked by Yeliz. It had to be said that it was not easy for her to become a rich wife at such a young age. Her cooking skills were better than the professional chef in the Taylor family’s villa, and she was much more diligent.

They talked about all kinds of topics at the dinner table.

Among those, they also talked about some international news and the company affairs.

"Zachary has said you’re only eighteen years old this year, but you don’t look like one. You’re calmer than most ordinary girls."

After talking for a while, Jack appreciated Yvonne very much.

He had been worried that it would be difficult for her to be the hostess of the Leinster Family at such a young age.

However, after some interaction, he had a new level of respect for Yvonne!

She had her own opinions on both international politics and business. Although some of the ideas were not mature enough, they were quite creative.

"The lady I like is certainly not ordinary woman."

As Zachary spoke, he held Yvonne’s hand.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere was sweet.

On the dining table, the woman in the same white dress was also smiling, but her face was pale.

Yeliz was trying to tolerate.

Every word they said was like a knife stabbing into her heart.

*

Yvonne finished her meal and was about to go home when she found it was raining heavily outside the window.

When the housekeeper saw this, he stepped forward and said, "According tothe weather report, there will be a torrential rain in the north tonight. In order to travel

safely, Sir, Miss Taylor, you’d better wait until the rain stops before leaving."

Yvonne glanced at the view outside the window. "Will the rain stop? It seems that it will last for the whole night."

Zachary raised his eyebrows and said, "Then stay here for one night and go back tomorrow morning."

Yvonnewas immediately shocked by his unimaginable idea.

"How can I do that? It’s my first time to come to your house, how can I sleep here overnight? We haven’t gotten married yet. It’s impossible!"

"It’s not a big deal," the man said carelessly. He was dressed in a suit, but his expression was serious. "You always claim me to be an old man. You’re so young, how can your thought be so old-fashioned?"

"It’s common courtesy, okay?" Yvonne pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "Besides, it’s not me who can’t accept it, it’s my dad."

If Frank knew that Yvonne lived in Zachary’s house at the first time she came here, he would definitely take out his magic treasure—the feather duster to teach her a lesson!

Although Zachary was usually serious, he had many evil ideas. "Your father has gone on a business trip. You can go back tomorrow morning. He won’t find out."

Yvonne looked at him suspiciously. "Hey, don’t trick to me."

"If I don’t, will you listen to what I say?"

"No way..."

The two of them stood at the door and played for a while. In the end, Jack concluded.

"Since you’ve run into a bad weather, don’t take the risk to go back home. There are many rooms in the house, so Miss Taylor, you can choose a place to stay for the night."

After that, he said meaningfully, "When Mr. Taylor comes back, I will personally meet him and explain it to him. Don’t be afraid of your father blaming you."

"Really? That’s great!"

Taylor really didn’t expect that Jack Leinster, who was said to be solemn and horrible, would be so easy-going.

However, Yvonne would see that his shrewdness was actually very sophisticated. It was likely that these amiable smiles were nothing more than a disguise.

Especially when he looked so meaningful—he was exactly the same as Zachary!

Every time she looked at Jack, Yvonne felt that she had seen the old look of Zachary! "I’ll lead you to the room," said Zachary.

"Okay."

After that, the two of them went upstairs to pick a room together.

In the kitchen.

Yeliz’s eyes turned red as she watched them walk in pairs.

*

On the second floor, there was a large European-style bedroom.

"I like the layout of this room. I’d like to stay here."

"Okay."

Zachary looked around and said, "This room is indeed good, but it’s a little far from my room."

Just as Yvonne was about to say something, Zacahry spoke again, "However, it’s not that far if I want to come..."

The girl could hear the hidden meaning in his words, so she pounded his chest. "I warn you, don’t do anything crazy! This is your home!"

"Why does he want to come to my room? Why not stay in his room for the night? Why?"

"Ha."

The man chuckled and then touched her delicate little nose. "I’ll boil a pot of water for you. Wait for me here." "Humph."

The young girl was pretending to be arrogant.

After the meal, her gloomy mood gradually relaxed.

Yvonne curiously observed the room. At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something.

After thinking for half a second, she decided to go out of the room.

Through the spiral staircase and the raised armrest.

From this angle, she could see the direction of the kitchen.

Yvonne leaned on the armrest and saw Zachary holding a hot kettle. He walked alone to the woman in the kitchen who was wearing the white dress.

Yvonne’s heart suddenly sank.
