"Has Mrs. Johnson arrived?"
Upon hearing Tom Nelson’s report, Skye Brown looked at Lily in surprise.
She and Dylan Wellington had just returned to China, their itinerary kept secret, and the Wellington family shouldn’t know yet.
Mrs. Johnson, how did she find them?
Now that they are back, they will have to face the Wellington family sooner or later.
Skye asked Tom Nelson to invite Mrs. Johnson in and to notify Dylan Wellington upstairs.
She and Lily happened to be in the living room, ready to handle it first.
Before Mrs. Johnson entered, Lily whispered to Skye, "When you et Mrs. Johnson later, don’t be too polite. Speak as you should... If you’re too polite to her, I’m afraid she’ll bully you."
"Don’t worry, Lily, I know what to do."
As for the Wellington family, Skye was well-prepared.
Proper courtesy and politeness should be maintained, but also with dignity and self-respect; she cannot be seen as an easy target.
If the Wellington family can accept her, then fine, if not, she doesn’t care.
Although she was the one who ntioned marriage and returning to China to Dylan Wellington... it was all to help Dylan revitalize and bring him out of his closed world.
Now, Dylan Wellington is willing to return to China with her.
Whether they marry or whether she gains the Wellington family’s acceptance, it’s not that important to Skye.
Skye was prepared for Mrs. Johnson’s difficulty, but what surprised her was Mrs. Johnson’s reaction upon seeing her.
When Mrs. Johnson ca in from outside and saw Skye, at that very mont, her intricately drawn almond-shaped eyes suddenly reddened, filled with misty tears.
"Skye... it’s wonderful, you’re finally back..." Mrs. Johnson walked over excitedly and grabbed Skye’s hand.
After holding Skye’s hand, she looked her up and down, saying with so heartache, "You’ve gotten thinner, so thin... How could they take care of you like this and let you beco so thin? Poor thing, managing the child by yourself, you must have been very worried."
"Skye, don’t be afraid... This ti you’re back, and Mom will support you, ensuring Dylan treats you well. I guarantee Dylan won’t ss up again; be good, Mom is on your side."
Skye: "..."
Lily: "..."
This plot is very different from what they expected.
Just as the two felt awkward, footsteps sounded from upstairs.
It was Dylan Wellington, having been notified, coming down with Tom Nelson’s support.
Following behind him was Aidan Lucas, with a stern expression and indifferent deanor.
Mrs. Johnson also heard the sound behind her and turned to see her son, whom she hadn’t seen in a long ti, with joy on her face.
But in the next mont, she caught sight of Mr. Lucas following behind Dylan Wellington.
Even as an elder, Mrs. Johnson never dared to act superior in front of Aidan Lucas.
"Mr. Lucas, so you’re here too." Assuming the deanor of a noble lady, Mrs. Johnson forced a smile and greeted Aidan Lucas.
The man nodded coldly, acknowledging.
He then walked past Mrs. Johnson without hesitation, wrapping an arm around Lily’s waist, and seated his woman beside him.
Throughout, he didn’t glance away, as those deep eyes only had Lily in them.
Even in front of Mrs. Johnson, there was no courtesy shown.
Mandy Jenkins’ face changed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Especially since this was in front of her new daughter-in-law, Skye.
But fortunately, this wasn’t the first ti Aidan Lucas acted this way; he wasn’t just cold and distant to Mrs. Johnson alone.
"Haha... don’t mind, Mr. Lucas is always like this." Mrs. Johnson said to Skye with slight embarrassnt, trying to regain so face.
Unexpectedly, the man holding Lily spoke calmly in the next second.
"Skye, you sit too... co and chat with Lily."
Skye: "..."
