Terrence Lentz and two assistants lagged behind, carrying bags of various sizes.
The group had just reached the door.
Viola Thompson emerged from inside. “Uncle, Auntie, you've arrived,” she greeted.
Viola was wearing a red dress today.
She rarely wore red.
Looking at her, the vibrant color struck one's gaze. Red is a color that tends to absorb all other colors, dulling the complexion of those who aren't fair. But Viola's beauty and milky-white skin made the red dress seem slightly dim in comparison.
“Viola.”
Viola led the way in front. “Uncle and Auntie, please come in,” she urged.
Mary Perryne and Sawyer Thompson were both inside.
Mandel Thompson, Samuel Thompson, and Edward Thompson were sitting upright on the sofa.
The atmosphere in the room felt rather solemn.
Eleanor Armstrong was already nervous, and the sight of the three Thompson brothers made her even more so, with perspiration clinging to the palms of her hands.
Harlan Lentz also seemed rather edgy.
At that moment, Terrence Lentz stepped forward to introduce his parents. “Uncle, Auntie, these are my parents.”
Mary Perryne and Sawyer Thompson stood up from the sofa.
Sawyer Thompson greeted Harlan Lentz with a warm handshake. “Hello, Mr. Lentz, I'm Sawyer Thompson, Viola's father.”
Mary Perryne, on the other hand, reached out and warmly took hold of Eleanor Armstrong's hand. “Terrence's Mom, I'm Mary Perryne, Viola's mother.”
Eleanor Armstrong was taken aback. She hadn't expected Mary Perryne to be so amiable.
She was nothing like the first lady of Capital City Eleanor had imagined.
In her imagination, Mary Perryne was a restrained, imperial figure, seated above all, answering in monosyllables to her queries.
In preparation for this imagined interaction, Eleanor had rehearsed for a long time in front of a mirror.
What surprised Eleanor most was that Mary Perryne referred to her as 'Terrence's Mom'.
Not Mrs. Lentz or even Mrs. Lentz.
This showed that Mary Perryne was not a rigid person. A casual address made Mary Perryne seem more approachable, free from the common faults one would expect of a woman in high society.
Quickly collecting her thoughts, Eleanor responded with a smile, “Viola's Mom, you look even younger than I imagined.”
“Really?” Mary Perryne was always pleased to hear compliments about her youth.
Eleanor Armstrong nodded, “Of course.”
Mary Perryne then led Eleanor by the arm to her three sons, “Terrence's Mom, let me introduce you to my eldest, Brandon.”
Brandon rose from the sofa, “Aunt Lentz, you can just call me Brandon.”
He stood tall, his presence commanding.
Eleanor, who stood at five foot six, had to tilt her head back to look up at Brandon. “Hello,” she said.
Mary Perryne continued, “This is my second son, Samuel.”
Samuel, being an artist, appeared significantly more serene. He smiled at Eleanor, “Aunt Lentz, my name is Samuel. You can just call me Samuel.”
“This is my youngest son, Edward.”
Over the past year, Edward had become significantly more steady and composed. Rising slowly but surely, he greeted her, “Aunt Lentz, I'm Edward. You can just call me Edward.”
After meeting all three Thompson brothers, Eleanor Armstrong turned to look at Mary Perryne, “Viola's Mom, you are truly blessed. All your children are outstanding! Just look at these three fine gentlemen. They seem destined to achieve great things! Perfect!”
Mary Perryne laughed and said, “Perfect? Viola's Mom, you probably aren't aware. None of my three boys make life easy for me! But my eldest, who's almost 32, hasn't so much as held a girl's hand!”
Normally, such things aren't shared with someone you've just met. But strangely enough, Mary Perryne found that she felt quite comfortable with Eleanor Armstrong.
They instantly hit it off.
Eleanor Armstrong's sense of nervousness vanished almost instantly. She replied, “Viola's Mom, these things should take their natural course. There's no need to rush.”
Mary Perryne glanced at Brandon, “He's 32, not 23! Terrence's Mom, you have three children too. When did your eldest and second child get married?”
Eleanor Armstrong responded, “My sons are all aimless. My eldest got married when he was 28, and by the time my second child was 28, he already had a two-year-old!”
Hearing this made Mary Perryne envious indeed!
She also wanted to become a grandmother!
Continuing, Eleanor said, “Actually, for young men, their careers should take precedence.”
“Even if you prioritize your career, you shouldn't neglect getting a wife!” Mary Perryne added, “Today is a day of joy. Let's not talk about him, let's not talk about him!”
