Chapter 1186 Hailey, who was about to take Cedric off her black list, reflexively answered an incoming call from an unknown number.
âMs. Vulpe, hello, Iâm Cedricâs mother Would you like to grab a coffee?â
The phone in Haileyâs hand was gripped even tighter No sooner had Cedric mentioned informing his parents than his mum rang. That was fast, but....
Even though she could guess the reason for his motherâs call, Hailey was somewhat reluctant to go. But as it was about the prospect of marriage, it was understandable for his parents to be cautious.
After some hesitation, she finally replied, âSure! Then Hailey received an address from Cedricâs mum, asking her to meet there.
Hailey, dressed in a conservative outfit and with a light makeup, got into her car and drove off. When her car pulled up outside a coffee shop, she spotted a wellâdressed woman stepping out of a luxury car.
Just one look, and Hailey could guess who it was. The Laurence siblings all inherited good genes from their parents.
Cedricâs mother was one such person with superior genes. Elegant, slender, and exuding an air of nobility, she didnât look her age at all.
Regardless of whether she took care of herself or not, Cedricâs mother was fundamentally a beauty, no wonder Cedric and Sigrid were such lookers.
Hailey waited for the elegant woman to enter the coffee shop before getting out of the car.
Before going in, Hailey stood at the entrance, swallowing nervously. For some reason, she didnât remember being this nervous when meeting Yeagerâs parents...
She could feel her heart pounding uncontrollably. She was incredibly nervous and worried. After a pause, she finally plucked up the courage to push the door open.
Cedricâs mother, having probably looked up her information, recognized her immediately. âMs. Vulpe, right this way.â
Hailey managed a smile and walked over. âHello, Mrs. Laurence.â
She even refrained from using a familiar address, preferring the respectful one, as a sign of respect.
Latonia didnât expect this from Hailey. If it had been any other woman Cedric had spoiled, they would have been arrogant and bossy, like Hertha.
She was taken aback, then gestured for Hailey to sit down. âMs. Vulpe, what would you like to drink?â
Instead of saying anything would do, Hailey took the menu from the waiter and ordered her usual coffee.
Her casual and unaffected manner took Latonia by surprise.
Once Hailey had ordered, she waved the waiter away.
When the waiter had left, Latonia took the opportunity to size Hailey up. She was pretty, had a good figure, and was well maintained. She didnât look her age, but despite her youthful appearance, she was still three years older than Cedric.
Latonia looked down on Hailey a bit, but didnât show it. âMs. Vulpe, Cedric came home tonight, which is unusual for him. He said he wants to marry you. I thought, since I havenât met you, I should call and meet you. You donât mind, do you?â
Hailey shook her head. âNo, I donât mind. Itâs only natural.â
Always obedient and respectful to her elders, Hailey made it easy for Latonia to ask her some questions. âCould you tell me about your relationship with Cedric?â
Hailey had thought Latonia was here to persuade her to break up with Cedric, but she didnât ask directly. âWhat do you want to know?â
Latonia leaned back elegantly on the sofa and pursed her lips slightly âDo you love him?â
Talking about love in front of his mother made Hailey feel a little shy, but she bravely admitted, âHeâs a great guy I like him a lot.â
Latonia had asked if she loved him, but Hailey had replied that she liked him. For an older person, this wasnât a satisfactory answer. âSo you donât love him?â
Hailey opened her mouth to afgue, but was interrupted by Latonia. âMs. Vulpe, my son has never been married. He doesnât know what itâs like. But you seem to have had that experience, so you must know how marriage works, right?â
Though Latonia didnât directly ridicule Hailey, her words were still sarcastic, making Hailey feel a little embarrassed. She lowered her head. Yes, I know.â
Seeing her discomfort, Latonia finally got to the point. âCedric thinks that as parents, we should propose the marriage to your parents. But naturally, we should discuss it with your parents first. So, Ms. Vulpe, where are your parents?â
