Chapter 613 Real Family
Upon arriving at the location, Waston caught sight of Robyn already waiting for her on the side.
"Mrs. Easton, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I just finished work," Waston said apologetically as she walked toward Robyn and affectionately took her arm.
Robyn gave her a reassuring pat on the back of her hand. "Don't be silly, my dear. I know you have work to do. I just hope that I'm not irritating you by keeping asking you to be my shopping companion."
"Why would I ever find you annoying? You know that I enjoy shopping with you the most, Mrs. Easton. My parents are usually out of the country and don't have time to come back and spend time with me. Shopping with you is like shopping with my own mother."
Robyn couldn't help but smile, amused by Waston's words. "You're quite the charmer."
The two walked into a shop, and Robyn loved the shop's clothing.
"Waston, you should try this dress on. The color is so vibrant, and your well- tanned skin will make it look amazing on you," Robyn suggested, holding out a red gauze dress to her with a loving expression.
Actually, Waston wasn't fond of the color red, but she didn't want to decline the elder's kindness, so she complied and walked toward Robyn, taking the dress from her. "Sure, I'll try it on right away, Mrs. Easton."
Robyn stopped Waston, saying, "Don't rush to try it on. Choose a few more clothes you like first. Shopping can be exhausting, so make sure you get enough clothes to take back with you."
Waston smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Upon hearing that, Robyn's smile widened as she grabbed Waston's hand and exclaimed happily, "I really have a great eye! Why a darling girl like you are not my daughter?"
Waston blushed and said softly, "Mrs. Easton, you're flattering me. Mr. Easton is also very excellent."
As soon as Matteo was mentioned, Robyn quickly pulled Waston aside and gossiped, "I almost forgot to ask you about this. Are you and Matteo in a relationship now?"
Robyn's words caught Waston off guard, causing her face to turn red and stutter as she tried to respond. "M-Mrs. Easton, I don't think it's appropriate to discuss such matters as we are still getting to know each other, and Mr. Easton prefers taking things slow."
"But I saw the news. It said that you two love each other. I hope you can go to the company often."
Waston hurriedly explained, "Mrs. Easton, the news is fake. They only took a photo of me going to the Easton Group and made up so much nonsense."
Robyn's face fell instantly, and her tone turned slightly harsh. "Waston, I can tell that you're interested in Matteo. Did he say or do something that made you say this?"
Waston was taken aback by Robyn's sudden change in tone and quickly raised her hand and shook her hands. "No, Mrs. Easton. Mr. Easton hasn’t said anything. He just wants to focus on his career right now. The company is growing now, and he's busy with work. He just doesn't want to neglect me. It shows how responsible he is. I'm actually quite happy with the way things are."
Internally, Robyn felt relieved, although she didn't display it on her face.
She let out a cold snort before saying, "Waston, there's no need to speak up for him. After all, he's my son. I know what he's thinking. Being busy with work is just an excuse. There must be something going on with Ainsley again."
As she spoke, Robyn's agitation became apparent. ’They're not even siblings. Matteo is so foolish for always helping Ainsley, even when it causes him trouble."
Waston was once again rendered speechless. Robyn had previously mentioned Ainsley's situation, whether intentionally or unintentionally, but Waston had avoided the topic.
Observing Waston's silence on the topic of Ainsley, Robyn gave her a strange look.
But she quickly adjusted her demeanor, smiled dryly, and changed the topic. ’Waston, after you and Matteo get married, he may finally understand the true meaning of family."
