Mrs. Quimbey muttered, "This is too hasty, isn't it? Yvette is still young.”
Fiona was determined and did not leave any room for discussion.
"No worries, she'll mature soon enough. I treat her like she's my daughter. We’ll get their marriage license in two days. I'll show them the house this afternoon, I'll buy them a new house, so you can't take this opportunity from me!”
Fiona was very satisfied. She was elated to get a daughter-in-law that was to her liking.
"When the child is born, I'll personally raise the child!"
The two people in the bathroom still did not know what was going on.
Coincidentally, the water stopped gushing out from the faucet, so their position seemed pointless now.
Yvette slowly tilted her head to look at Lance.
She said, "What should we do?”
It seemed like she should not have asked Lance to stay, then this scene could have been avoided.
Lance pursed his lips and looked flustered.
It was just a loose faucet.
How did he unscrew the pipe?
Was it accidental or intentional?
Even Lance himself was unaware of it.
It was just that this developed beyond everyone’s imagination.
Yvette stood up, wiped her face, and mustered up the courage to speak. "Forget it. I’ll go and explain it to them. We can't just let them be. We didn't even do anything!”
Just as Yvette was about to walk out, Lance took hold o f her wrist that was slim, fair, and very smooth.
"Wait..."
Lance immediately let go of her. His tone was still quite calm.
"I'll talk to them. You should get dressed first."
Yvette was stunned. Only then did she realize that her nightgown was soaked through.
If she went out like this, she would not be able to justify anything.
Yvette immediately nodded and ran to the bedroom to get changed.
Lance could not go outside to change his clothes because his clothes were in the guestroom.
"What did we think about? We’ve seen it with our own eyes! What else do you have to say? If you were sleeping in the guestroom, why did you run to Yvette's room early in the morning? You even have the nerve t o say this?!"
Lance said, "I was there to help her fix the faucet..."
"The bathroom is broken?"
Lance nodded his head.
Fiona said, "Why didn't you use the guest bathroom and insist on running to a girl's room to fix the faucet? Lance, a man should admit his fault. You can't just be irresponsible! I know that young people nowadays aren't so serious about their feelings, but you can't do this. Yvette is such a good girl. This time, you have a good eye!"
Fiona did not leave any room for Lance to argue and said to Mrs. Quimbey with a smile. "I've even thought o f their child's name..."
Lance felt an oncoming headache.
Fiona pushed him and gritted his teeth.
"Go get dressed! What are you still standing there for?"
Lance silently went into the guestroom.
He understood that it was useless no matter what he said.
Ms. Fiona only wanted to see what she saw and wanted to know what she knew.
