The sound got Linda's heart pounding. She immediately opened her eyes.
The appearance of Violet Xing shocked her. After all, Violet was her mother-in-law.
Violet Xing took off her sunglasses, under which was her discontent. The two were still cuddling with each other. She raised her eyebrows and frowned.
Charles signed with resignation when he found out it was none other than his own mother who interrupted him. He couldn't do anything to her.
His sharp-tempered mother usually did everything in a brisk and hurried manner.
"Mother, what's wrong with my wife and me making out at our own house?" Charles rubbed his temples, as if he had a headache.
"It's not about making out. You can do it in your room. Why here?" Servants are all looking at you. This is highly inappropriate."
Though Violet reproached them in her usual grumpy manner, Linda felt like she had begun to accept her.
Could it be that Amy had let her down with the previous drama?
Charles remained speechless and looked at Linda before he could gave an appropriate responce. "Okay... I get it, Mother."
"Well, that's more like it." Violet was satisfied with Charles' attitude, so her eyebrows cleared. She open the latest Chanel handbag, taking out an exquisitely decorated jewery box. She looked Linda up and down and then handed her the box, saying, "It's for you. Charles' grandmother entrusted me to give it to you as your wedding gift."
Linda showed a mild smile with her rosy lips. "Thank you, Lady Xing."
"Lady? You steal my son and yet still address me as Lady?."
"..." Linda was rattled by the sudden outburst of her future mother-in-law. A trace of confusion and panic in her eyes amused Charles.
"Call me mother."
"Ah?"
"As I said before, you should call me mother after getting married."
Linda turned to look at Violet, and said, "Mother."
Violet looked her up and down. "Well, that's better. It's not so easy to be a qualified daughter-in-law of Mu clan. I'll definately hold you to high standards. Good luck."
After finishing her words, Violet, carrying her bag in hand, left straight for James Mu.
Her brisk and hurried manner intimidated Linda a little.
"What on earth was your mother saying? I'm a little confused."
Charles shook his head, "I have no idea. Anyway, now that she has accepted you, you can just ignore her sharp tongue."
"... Didn't you hear her words? She intends to give me a hard time..." Linda was a little afraid of her own future mother-in-law, For the relationship between a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law has always been a Gordian Knot for generations.
"In my clan, when the eldest grandson got married, his grandmother would hand his wife this amber necklace. The custom lasted for generations. So it's a symbol of my mother's approval."
Linda opened the box. In it laid an antique, lanolin-like amber necklace, looking classic and luxurious.
"Come on, let me put it on for you."
Charles took the necklace from Linda's hand, turned her around, and put on the family heirloom for her.
The amber necklace lay squarely on her chest and it was a good match with her dress. It felt like the necklace was specially made for her.
Charles then went round to her front and gazed her chest for a while, saying to himself that he had a beautiful wife. After a while, he drew back his gaze due to Linda's stare.
