/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1434
Chapter 1434: 358: A sure thing! _2 Chapter 1434: 358: A sure thing! _2 Brandon, Borden, and Bob, the Thompson brothers, were guarding him like they were guarding against a thief.
Eleanor asked again, “So what are their personalities like?”
Terrence continued, “Mom, as long as we show sincerity, they will not deliberately make it tough for us, so you don't have to worry too much.”
Hearing this, Harlan added, “Given how accomplished Viola is, and her affluent background, they'd naturally want her to marry above her station and not into the Lentz clan. So, it's normal for them to give us a hard time. Eleanor, just try to take this as it comes.”
Viola joining the Lentz clan is like their family's ancestral grave producing a constant stream of green smoke, it's a blessing.
So, it's normal for the Thompson family to give them a hard time, no matter what.
Eleanor nodded her head.
The family of three was walking and talking at the same time.
Just as they walked out of the airport's main hall, they saw someone waving at them from the arrival gate, “Uncle, Auntie.”
Hearing Viola's voice amidst the noisy airport, Eleanor thought she was experiencing auditory hallucination.
Is this…
Is this really Viola?
Eleanor turned her head towards the source of the voice.
Soon, she spotted a tall, slender figure in the crowd.
Even in her simple black shirt and white trousers and with no makeup on her face, she was easy to spot in the crowd.
She stood out, just like a crane among a flock of chickens.
“It's Viola!”
Eleanor was very excited.
She hadn't expected Viola to come pick them up.
Her excitement was tinged with a touch of sentimentality; Viola's presence eased her tensions significantly.
Eleanor ran over and embraced Viola, “Viola, how come you're here!”
Viola embraced Eleanor back, “I didn't have much to do today, so I decided to pick you up.”
At this point, Harlan walked over to the two of them.
He was also quite surprised.
In theory, Viola, being such a precious treasure, would have been a bit aloof, just like the others.
After all, she was supposed to be marrying above her own station.
But Viola wasn't like that.
Viola let go of Eleanor, politely said, “Uncle, Auntie, you've had a long journey.”
As she was speaking, Viola stole a glance at Terrence while no one was looking, and winked mischievously at him.
Terrence's lips curved up slightly, his gaze intense, as if wanting to draw her in.
Their eyes met.
Sometimes, silence can say more than words.
Harlan said with a smile, “No, it was not tiring, not tiring.”
Eleanor held Viola's hand, “We just took a plane here, what's tiring about that?”
The party of three had become a party of four.
Eleanor, being a very perceptive mother-in-law, soon walked side by side with Harlan, leaving some space for Viola and Terrence.
Seeing Viola left alone, Terrence knew his mother had given him a chance, quickly caught up with her, one hand pulling the luggage, the other hand holding Viola's hand. He leaned over and whispered, “Thank you for your hard work, boss.”
Viola glanced at him, “Which hotel did you book?”
“The Remote.” Terrence replied.
“It seems the hotel is not far from my house.”
Terrence nodded slightly, “It seems to be less than seven kilometers.”
After saying that, Terrence added, “But why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were going to pick us up?”
“I wanted to surprise you.”
On hearing this, Terrence chuckled, “Indeed, I was surprised.”
After that, he said, “You have no idea how nervous my mother was before she saw you.”
“Nervous about what?” Viola asked, puzzled.
Terrence leaned in, “You're so outstanding, my mom feels I'm not good enough for you, she's always afraid that you'll fly away anytime.”
“As if I've grown wings.” Viola's voice was light, “Don't worry, Lentz, I'm a very committed person.”
So committed that I only love tall, handsome guys!
This sentence is a promise, but also a kind of guarantee.
Hearing this, Terrence was taken aback.
This was the first time he had heard Viola say this with such certainty.
“What about you?” Viola asked.
Only then did Terrence recover his senses, his voice deep, “As long as you like, I can give you even my life.”
Viola turned her head slightly, looking at his side profile, “Do you know what you remind me of?”
“What?” Terrence asked.
Viola continued, “You're just like a domineering CEO from an idol drama.”
Just like the perfect domineering CEO.
“No,” Terrence looked at Viola, his eyes serious, “A domineering CEO only likes Cinderella types, you are my princess.”
Such a cheesy line!
But Viola loved it!
She had never had this experience before, in her past life, she spent every day either in the laboratory or at the computer researching data.
Two people that like each other being together, it really is a blissful feeling.
