The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 640

"It's nonsense..." Jasmine and Laura were so busy exchanging cordiality that they had almost forgotten Anthony's and Vince's presence.

It was only later that Jasmine realized the need to introduce Vince to Laura.

Jasmine drew Vince closer to Laura and introduced him,"This is my husband, Vince Sun. I think you are old acquaintances."

"Definitely," Laura replied with a smile. "We haven't seen each other for more than a decade but you seem not to change at all, Vince. You still look the same," Laura added.

"This young lad is..." Jasmine stared at Anthony with growing fondness. Anthony was a tall and handsome man. In addition to his good looks, he was also able to manage his own company. Any mothers would immediately accept him for a son-in-law and Jasmine was not an exception.

"Let me introduce him to you." Laura promptly drew Anthony closer to Jasmine and Vince. "This is my son, Anthony Xiao," she introduced and urged Anthony to greet them.

"Aunt Jasmine and Uncle Vince, I consider it a blessing to have finally met you. I've been looking forward to this meeting." Being in the business world for quite a long time, Anthony already knew how to sweet-talk.

"Anthony, you are indeed a sweet-talker." Jasmine was already considering taking Anthony as a son-in-law.

Jasmine grasped Laura's arm and whispered,"Laura, I want to take Anthony as my son-in-law to secure our old ties."

"That's not a problem with me. I take pride in my son," Laura said in a beaming smile. "Just like you, I also want Junia to be my daughter-in-law," she added.

"I definitely believe in you," Jasmine said with a smile. She continued,"Even before, I have never doubted your personality and your promises." "But... I am afraid..." Jasmine hesitated to complete her words.

"Why? What's wrong?" Laura could sense that something was bothering Jasmine.

"My only misgiving is that Junia might fall short of Anthony's expectations," Jasmine replied with a sigh. Indeed, finding a suitable husband for Junia Sun was quite troublesome for Jasmine and Vince.

"Let's introduce them to each other first," Laura suggested. "Then they can start dating and get to know each other." For Laura, Junia Sun was a beautiful, sensible and well-educated woman from an eminent family. Thus, she would be an acceptable daughter-in-law that could dwarf the single mother, Sheryl.

"By the way, where is Junia?" Laura became anxious from her protracted waiting.

"She went to the ladies room. Don't worry, she'll be back real soon," Jasmine reassured her. A little while later, someone appeared at the entrance of the lounge — a woman wearing an emerald dress, with a very pleasant aura.

Anthony looked up and met the woman's gaze. She was a beautiful girl, but he seemed uninterested and immediately looked away.

Junia Sun approached the two old women and casually greeted them. Now, Laura became more determined to have Junia Sun as her daughter-in-law.

"Aunt Laura, how have you been doing since the last time we've met?" Junia Sun treated Laura with utmost courtesy.

Laura was also quite responsive to Junia Sun.
