I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date Novel - Chapter 91
Chapter 91: Determined
At five o’clock the next morning, just as the sky turned bright, people were already up. For today’s celebration, the banquet was held in the courtyard of the house. The chef had already started working in the courtyard early before dawn.
When there was noise, William Scott woke up and felt his arm had gone numb.
He turned around and saw Xenia Lewis curled up beside him. Her head was resting on his arm, and one of her arms was pressed against his chest. Her leg was also wrapped around his leg.
This scene seemed a little erotic, but he only felt very warm. He gently patted her shoulder and whispered, “Xenia, it’s time to get up. Everyone will be up soon.”
“Oh…” Xenia Lewis muttered vaguely, but she did not open her eyes at all. Instead, she snuggled closer to William Scott.
She was snuggling up to him as if he was a big doll.
Helpless, William Scott could only turn around and whisper in her ear, “Why don’t you sleep for another twenty minutes? I’ll get up first.”
“Oh…” Xenia Lewis muttered vaguely again, but she quickly opened her eyes and said, “It’s dawn?” Subconsciously, she was aware that she had to get up at dawn.
William Scott smiled and said, “That’s right. You can sleep for a few more minutes. I’ll get up first and wake you up later.”
“No, I have to get up too,” Xenia Lewis quickly said. Then, she suddenly let out a low cry and hurriedly sat up. Her face was crimson. She glanced at William Scott and suddenly kicked him. “Jerk! What did you do last night? I was clearly sleeping properly before I fell asleep. Why did you hug me?”
William Scott couldn’t help but smile. This was clearly an accusation. He sat up and said, “I don’t sleep properly. Sorry, I’ll get up first and get some water for you.”
When Xenia Lewis saw William Scott leave, she touched her face, which was burning hot. “Damn, this is really embarrassing. I actually hugged him to sleep.”
When he returned with the water, she had already changed into her clothes and she was no longer blushing. Then, she washed her face and started to put on makeup. Today was an important occasion, so she had to dress up more beautifully.
The two of them didn’t mention their sleeping positions last night, and it seemed less awkward.
After tidying up, they left the room together.
There were a lot of people outside by this time. Other than some children who were still asleep, the relatives were all awake.
Janna Sands walked over and held Xenia Lewis’ hand. She sized her up and said with a smile, “Yvette, you didn’t sleep well yesterday, right? There’s no air conditioning here, and the bed definitely won’t be as comfortable as yours.”
Xenia Lewis’ face couldn’t help but turn red. She said, “It was very cool at night. It’s even better than air-conditioning. I’m not that pampered.”
Noticing Xenia Lewis’ blushing face, Janna Sands was overjoyed. She held her hand and said, “Yes, yes. When we get back, I’ll change William’s bed to a bigger one with a good mattress. Oh right, I’ll also change the air conditioner to a better one for you. You’ll feel more comfortable this way.”
When William Scott heard this, his face turned grim. As for Xenia Lewis, her face was so red that it was about to bleed. She was simply too obvious. How could she not tell? For a moment, she was at a loss and did not know how to answer. Her head was almost hanging to her chest.
“Yvette, let’s go over there and take a look.” William Scott quickly pulled Xenia Lewis away. Otherwise, his mother might say something else.
“I’m sorry. My mother can’t wait for me to get married and give her a grandson.”
“I can understand,” she replied softly with a red face.
William Scott continued, “You don’t have to take it to heart. She has always been like that. After today is over, she will forget about it in two days.”
“Okay.” Xenia Lewis nodded again.
Soon, the entire Scott family became lively. Almost everyone in the village would be present for the celebration. William Scott and his family were naturally in charge of entertaining the guests. All of them were extremely busy.
When it was halfway through the birthday celebration, the atmosphere reached a climax. The grandchildren offered gifts one after another. William Scott and Xenia Lewis gave Grandma a deer-shaped pendant made of jade, which symbolized longevity. Although this jade necklace was not as valuable as Grandma’s bracelet, it was still worth about twenty thousand dollars.
However, no one knew what was its worth. William Scott did not want to show off either. It was just a token of his appreciation.
The birthday banquet only ended at three in the afternoon. William Scott and his family bade farewell to everyone.
Grandma held Xenia Lewis’ hand and said reluctantly, “Second granddaughter-in-law…” In the Scotts family, Brian Scott was the eldest, while William Scott was the second.
“If you’re free in the future, come here and visit me.”
Xenia Lewis hurriedly agreed, “Grandma, I’ll definitely come often.”
“I will be waiting for you and William to get married soon and then I can have a great-grandson.”
Many people had mentioned this today. Initially Xenia Lewis was embarrassed, but as time passed, she had already gotten used to it. She smiled and said, “Grandma, we won’t take too long. You have to attend our wedding banquet.”
Grandma laughed heartily and said, “As long as I can still move, I’ll definitely attend. It’s definitely our ancestors’ blessing that the Scotts can have such a good granddaughter-in-law.”
No matter how reluctant they were, everyone still had to leave. Graham Scott still had to go back as well. As for the fake Yvette Quinn, she was a busy CEO and couldn’t stay here for too long.
After everyone sent them off, William Scott and his family finally drove away.
“I’m really proud this time. This is the first time I’ve ever felt so proud at your family gathering.” In the car, Janna Sands began to exclaim.
Graham Scott snorted. “That’s all because of Yvette. Why are you so smug?”
Janna Sands immediately said, “Yvette is my daughter-in-law. Her glory is also my glory. Right, Yvette?”
Xenia Lewis quickly chimed in, “Yes, yes. I have to make you proud.”
Janna Sands was even more smug. “Look at how sweet Yvette is. Hubby, don’t ruin the atmosphere right now.”
After spending two days together, Xenia Lewis had almost integrated into their family. At this moment, she was completely relaxed. She chatted and laughed in the car and was not lonely at all. After a four-hour drive, she actually realized they were back
After sending his parents home, William Scott went to send her home. In the car, he frowned and said, “Xenia, there seems to be a problem.”
“What problem?” Xenia Lewis was still immersed in joy and asked casually.
“You slept in the same room as me this time. My mother will definitely want Yvette to do that in the future. So we must talk to Yvette first, right?”
“Ah!” Xenia Lewis exclaimed, her expression turning ugly.
