After a while, they went downstairs.
Lance received a call from Fiona, who was probably checking whether he brought Yvette to the new house.
He looked helpless as he glanced at Yvette and said," Mom, we're right here. Yes... Do you want to talk to her?"
Lance handed over the phone. Yvette took it and suppressed some nervousness.
"Aunt Fiona, this is Yvette."
"Yvette, do you like the style of that house? If you don't like it, we can tear it down and rebuild it!"
Yvette paused. "I like it very much, Auntie.”
Fiona breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Originally, that style was quite simple. These two days, I asked Lance to redesign and install some things so that it doesn’t look so empty. I'm glad you like it!"
Yvette raised an eyebrow. She did not expect that Lance was the one who installed all this furniture that was to her liking.
After saying a few words, Fiona hung up the phone.
Yvette handed the phone over and inadvertently said," Mr. Sheldon, can I ask you a question?"
Lance raised his eyebrows. He was unsure if he liked this title, but he still nodded. "Of course."
Yvette lowered her eyes. "Did you marry me because you listened to Aunt Fiona too much?"
She was calm on the surface, but she could not restrain the tremor in her heart.
Was the answer not obvious enough?
Why did she have to ask?
Of course, it was because of Fiona's matchmaking.
Why did she regret it as soon as she asked?
What else could it be?
Lance gave her a deep look. His voice was quiet, and h e did not evade the question.
"Yes, but not really."
He did not continue.
Lance remembered when they discussed this topic, Yvette called him a mama's boy, but he was just a filial son.
Yvette smiled and did not continue to pursue the question.
As Mrs. Quimbey said, Lance was the most suitable for Yvette.
For Lance, in addition to Yvette's family background, Mrs. Quimbey and Fiona’s relationship was a very
important factor.
Being of equal social status was important, but having the same views in life was just as important.
They walked out. Lance paused. "When do you plan to move over? I'll help you move.”
