Chapter 61 It’s Not Impossible for Me to Be the Son–In–Law!
“Yvette, I just heard from Little Sanchez that since he’s returned from abroad, he’s been staying in a hotel this whole time. I’ve thought about it and decided to invite him to live with us. It would be convenient for me to cook for you two regularly. especially since you’ll soon be showing. It’s also good to have a guy around to take care of you. What do you think?”
My mother interrupted my thoughts with her suggestion.
I was stunned for a moment, glancing at Maxwell with a bit of confusion. What had he discussed with my mother that led her to make such a proposal?
Maxwell did not look at me, so I turned to my mother helplessly. “Mom, Mr. Sanchez might be used to living alone. He might not be comfortable living with us. Η
“Why wouldn’t he be comfortable?” my mother retorted. “Little Sanchez is like a son to your father and 1. We watched him grow up. When he was still in school, I thought about having him stay with us. Unfortunately, he was a good student and went abroad, so we never had the chance. Now that he’s back, it’s perfect. We’re family, after all. Isn’t that right, little Sanchez?”
Maxwell nodded, smiling. “Yes, Mrs. Scott is right. I’ve always wanted to enjoy your cooking. I used to think about it all the time, and now that I’m back, I finally can.”
What???
How did we suddenly become one family?
Plus, what was that thing in the past they were discussing?
I was a bit baffled, turning to my mother and asking, “Mom, did you know Mr. Sanchez before this?”
She nodded while serving Maxwell some food. “Little Sanchez is a child your father and I sponsored for over twenty years. We never mentioned it to you, so it’s expected that you didn’t know about him.”
What???
My mother and Maxwell had crossed paths before?!
No wonder when my father was in trouble and Scott Corporation was struggling, an investor as talented as Maxwell chose to stay. With this revelation, many things became clearer.
Seeing this was the case, I did not pursue the topic further. I looked at my mother and said, “Mom, it’s mainly Mr. Sanchez’s decision. I’m fine with whatever.”
Upon hearing this, my mother responded, “Alright, then it’s settled.” She then turned to Maxwell to say, “Little Sanchez, pack your things. I’ll have Marcus arrange for someone to help move your belongings over. Your room’s already been ready for a while.”
Maxwell smiled and nodded in agreement.
After dinner, in the backyard.
Leaning against the railing of the pavilion, I looked at Maxwell and asked, “So, you gave up a promising future to join Scott Corporation as a way of repaying my parents‘ kindness?”
He raised an eyebrow, not denying my words. “Yes and no. If it wasn’t for Mr. Scott, I might not have had the chance to even attend school, let alone go abroad. So naturally, I wouldn’t stand by idly when he needed help. Besides, I also wanted to make a name for myself domestically. Reviving the nearly defunct Scott Corporation would be quite the achievement.”
