At this point, she paused and continued, “Sylvia has been raised by my elder brother and his wife since she was young, and there’s no difference from being their own child. If, I mean if, we really can’t find Viola, then you could give the things to Sylvia.”
In Elena Williams’ view, there was no difference between a biological child and a non-biological one.
After all, both children were raised by Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne.
“There’s no if!”
Mrs. Thompson frowned, “My Viola will definitely be found! Want me to give the things to Sylvia? Dream on!”
Hadn’t Sylvia been content with standing in as the young Miss Thompson family for so many years already?
She would never treat Sylvia as her own granddaughter.
Elena realized she had said something wrong and quickly laughed, “Look at my big mouth! Please don’t be angry, Mom. Just pretend I was talking nonsense. We will definitely be able to find Viola.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Thompson’s expression softened a bit.
Elena didn’t dare to bring up Sylvia’s matter again and didn’t say much along the way.
After leaving the hospital, Viola Thompson didn’t go back right away but instead went to the Tuchman family.
The door was opened by Cheryl Forrest.
Seeing Viola Thompson, Cheryl was somewhat surprised.
“Miss Thompson, please come in.”
Compared to before, Cheryl’s spirit had improved a lot.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Ettin Tuchman came over immediately,
“Who’s here?”
“It’s Miss Thompson.” Cheryl looked back.
Ettin Tuchman opened the door, “Miss Thompson, please come in.”
“Mr. Tuchman didn’t go to work today?” Viola asked.
Hearing this, Ettin’s expression changed a bit, “Hmm.”
His son had just had an accident, and although Viola Thompson said that as long as they took the medicine on time, they could get pregnant normally, Ettin was still very upset, afraid of seeing people, especially children of his son’s age.
He was even more afraid of acquaintances who didn’t know the situation asking about his son’s matter.
So, he could only escape.
After all, the future was still an unknown.
Viola laughed, “That won’t work, Mr. Tuchman. You have to go to work and earn the milk powder money for the baby.”
Hearing this, Ettin felt as if something missing in his heart was instantly filled.
Milk powder money.
These three simple words suddenly made him see hope and motivation.
Ettin looked at Viola Thompson with a full smile, “Miss Thompson, I’ll go to work tomorrow. ”
“Hmm.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly.
Seeing this scene, Cheryl’s eyes were a little moist.
Before Viola had come, Cheryl was quite confused, but now she wasn’t confused at all.
She had to cheer up, work hard, and earn milk powder money for the child.
Not only milk powder money but also tuition fees, living expenses, buying a house and car, betrothal gifts…
Thinking about this, Cheryl was filled with energy from head to toe!
After chatting with the couple for a while, Viola Thompson left.
She knew that life for the orphaned family was not easy, so she came to chat with the Tuchman couple.
The second day came quickly.
The day Charlie Thompson brought his girlfriend home to meet his parents.
Mrs. Thompson, dressed in a red cheongsam, was sitting in the living room.
She attached great importance to this meeting, otherwise she wouldn’t have traveled from Capital City to River City.
It was agreed to meet at ten o’clock in the morning.
At around ten to ten, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the door.
Mrs. Thompson immediately stood up from the sofa.
Elena laughed and said, “Mom, you can sit inside, and I’ll go out to welcome them.”
“Alright.” Mrs. Thompson nodded.
Evan Thompson followed Elena’s footsteps.
The couple greeted them at the door.
Charlie Thompson and a woman around his age, carrying large and small bags of gifts, were walking towards them.
Charlie lowered his voice and said, “The two people in front are my parents, don’t be nervous.’
“Okay.” The woman nodded her head and then asked, “Are there any other people in your family besides your uncle and aunt?”
“My grandma is here too.” Charlie answered.”What about your brother and sister?”
“They’re in France.”
The woman discreetly looked around Thompson’s Villa.
The villa was located in a prime location in River City.
The three- story villa was built quite impressively.
As soon as they got out of the car, a servant came to greet them.
It was like a scene from a TV drama where a rich young master returns home. “Dad, Mom, this is Zoe.” Charlie Thompson continued to introduce, “Zoe, this is my dad and mom.”
As a teacher, Zoe knew the basic manners and immediately greeted them with a smile, “Uncle and auntie, I’m Zoe. Leaf as in a leaf, and Jun as in a critical moment. You can just call me Little Leaf. This is a small gift from me, I hope you don’t mind.”
Upon her words, Zoe handed over the things in her hands to Elena Williams.
These things were not cheap.
They were all high-end skincare products, and the total cost had taken more than half of Zoe’s salary.
Bringing a gift for the first visit was the most basic courtesy.
Moreover, the Thompson Clan was such a prestigious family. She was born in the countryside, and marrying into the Thompson family was a blessing from her previous life.
So, she didn’t regret spending the money at all.
Mainly because Charlie Thompson had also been very generous to her usually. Elena Williams took the gift with both hands and smiled, “You shouldn’t have spent the money on us.”
Elena Williams’s first impression of Zoe was not bad.
Although Zoe was not stunningly beautiful, marriage was not a beauty pageant.
Girls who were too beautiful could sometimes cause trouble.
Zoe was just right.
She was a modest beauty with a good job, educating the next generation. At least they wouldn’t have to worry about their grandchildren’s education in the future.
Zoe smiled and said, “l didn’t buy much, as long as you and uncle don’t mind.”
“We don’t mind at all,” Elena Williams laughed, “Your uncle and I are more than happy! ”
They chatted and walked at the same time.
Soon they arrived inside the house.
Charlie Thompson introduced Zoe: “This is my grandma. Grandma, this is my girlfriend, Zoe.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Thompson looked up at Zoe.
Zoe, with a height of 165 cm, had just gotten a curly hairstyle and dyed her hair blond at a salon for the occasion, which made her look petite next to the 185 cm tall Charlie Thompson.
Mrs. Thompson didn’t like girls who dyed their hair, but when she heard Zoe’s last name, her impression of her improved a lot.
“Zoe, is it the leaf character with the mouth radical?”
Zoe nodded, “Yes, the leaf with the mouth radical, and Jun from the phrase a thousand pounds hanging by a thread.”
Mrs. Thompson laughed, “Do you know Miss Zoe, the famous businesswoman?”
“l know,” Zoe said, “She’s an amazing person!”
One could even say that Zoe changed her name to imitate that successful Zoe.
Zoe’s original name was Cassandra Rome, and she changed her name to Zoe after entering college.
The new name was obviously a few levels higher than Cassandra Rome, and even Charlie Thompson only got to know her because of this new name.
Mrs. Thompson nodded, “l also admire Miss Zoe very much.”
Zoe smiled and said, “Miss Zoe is my biggest idol!” This was not a lie; after all, she even changed her name because of that successful Zoe. Mrs. Thompson looked at Zoe and asked, “Are you a teacher?”
Zoe nodded, “l teach high school senior math.” “That must be quite stressful?” asked Mrs. Thompson.
“It’s okay.”
“How are your parents’ health?”
Zoe replied, “My parents are both researchers, very busy usually. Sometimes we don’t even see each other during the holidays, but their health is good.”
In reality, Zoe’s parents were just ordinary farmers.
The reason she said this was to prevent the Thompson family from looking down on her.
Mrs. Thompson nodded, showing her understanding.
After lunch, Charlie Thompson took Zoe for a tour around the villa. Elena Williams looked at Mrs. Thompson, “Mom, what do you think of this girl?”
Mrs. Thompson shook her head, “My first impression isn’t great.” “What’s wrong with her?” Elena Williams continued to ask..
