Chapter 1567 Am I Pretty?
“Nigel, free up your time tomorrow night. I want to take you to dinner.”
“What restaurant, Mom?”
“It’s a secret for now. Anyway, just free up your time tomorrow after 5.00PM, alright?” reminded Brenda.
“Okay! I’ll free up my time,” he answered.
“Has work been hectic?”
“It’s fine. I can handle it.”
“Come home for dinner when you’re free. It’s been two weeks since we last saw you,” Brenda complained.
Nigel was slightly taken aback by his mother’s statement. He recalled meeting Queenie the last time he went home for dinner. He thought he and Queenie had known each other for a long time, but he didn’t expect it to be only two weeks!
Was that how love at first sight felt?
Some people he met in life might not be acquainted with him for long, but it seemed like they were destined to be the most important person in his life. It was as if his abstinence after all these years was for her to appear in his life one day.
“That’s all. I’ll call you again tomorrow night.” Brenda hung up after the call.
The corners of Nigel’s lips curved upward. Tomorrow night, he would tell his parents something they would be delighted to hear.
In Silverstein Residence, Queenie, who was carrying a few bags of clothes, bumped into Bonnie, Maggie, and her good friend, Lisbeth, who were having afternoon tea.
Bonnie stared at her shopping bags and felt jealousy arousing in her heart. Did Queenie get her work attire ready already?
“Hello, Aunt Lisbeth.” After placing the clothes down, Queenie took a seat at the table beside the balcony.
“You’re getting more and more beautiful, Queenie! You’ve always been pretty since you were young!” Lisbeth praised.
“No, silly. She looks like any ordinary girl!” Brenda smiled. In her heart, she knew how beautiful her daughter was, but she didn’t dare to agree since Lisbeth wasn’t living a good life right now. She tried to avoid showing off her children in front of Lisbeth because the latter’s son had been arrested for gambling and wasn’t going to be released until a few years later.
