"How much did he love her that he would change so much for her?" Vivian thought.
She silently placed a piece of tofu into her mouth. Suddenly, her entire body tensed up and she shuddered hard.
Chow was touching her thigh under the dining table.
Vivian gasped softly and looked into his eyes in panic.
Chow was also staring at her with a twisted smile on his lips. "What's wrong? Vivian, is Aunt Blaine's cooking not to your liking?"
His words successfully attracted Celine's attention. Celine also turned to at Vivian.
Seeing Vivian's flushed face, she couldn't help frowning. She put her hand on Vivian's forehead. "Why is your face so red?" she asked. "Did you catch a cold because of the bad weather today?"
When Celine's hand touched her, Chow's toes nudged against her feet again, which made Vivian tremble all over. She let out a soft grunt. "Hey!"
As soon as she'd realised what she did, Vivian looked at Celine's puzzled eyes in panic.
"Vivian, are you feeling unwell?" Celine asked and turned her gaze to look at Chow. "Chow, I think Vivian looks very uncomfortable. Should we ask Dr. Duncan to take a look at her?"
Chow's thin lips curled into a nasty smile. "Celine, you still don't understand her enough. She's uncomfortable because she was late and rushed too quickly just now. Aren't I right, Vivian?"
As he asked, he looked deeply into Vivian's eyes.
Chow raised his eyebrows and put a juicy piece of meat onto her plate. "Of course, your mother is also my mother. I have to take good care of her too," he answered casually.
Celine's anxious heart relaxed when she heard him say that. The smile on her lips grew a little wider.
"But she still wants to thank you. She's now happily showing off to everyone that she has such a good son-in-law."
As she said the last word, Celine suddenly blushed and lowered her gaze shyly as if she'd just said something wrong by accident.
Only she knew the true intent behind her words, whether she had accidentally or deliberately said it out loud.
Hearing this, Chow couldn't help but chuckle. "Son-in-law? I don't remember us getting married yet. Are you in such a hurry to marry me?"
