Chapter 90: Chapter 91

The more Madeline looked at Vincent, the happier she became.

Madeline could not help but like her future son-in-law, Vincent, more and more as she looked at him. At first, she was concerned about her precious daughter, Olivia, and whether she had a fever. However, within a short conversation, she had completely forgotten about her daughter’s condition.

“Young lad, you’re really something. You’re so eloquent and look just like a superstar.” Madeline praised Vincent highly and gave him a five-star review if five stars were the highest rating.

Just look at it, “eloquent” and “big star.” Madeline was certainly generous with her compliments.

Even her son, Olivia’s brother, Wayne, hadn’t received such high praise at home.

In the Salter family, the girls were treated like princesses, while the boys were raised as bodyguards.

Therefore, Olivia held a very high position in her family.

Unexpectedly, today, Vincent managed to steal the limelight.

Facing Madeline’s praise, Olivia found that Vincent had quite the nerve to accept all the compliments and even resorted to tattling like a little schoolboy.

Vincent deliberately looked back at Olivia and said solemnly, “Exactly, I told her I wanted to visit Mr. and Mrs. Salter in Norham long ago, but Ollie kept finding excuses to delay it.

Madeline had originally regretted not having to meet Vincent earlier.

After she heard Vincent’s words, it turned out to be her precious daughter who was playing the tricks.

Madeline who had already started walking into the courtyard. suddenly stopped, turned back, and pointed her finger at Olivia.

Olivia had a wry expression on her face. It was a norm that everyone was supposed to marry and forget their mothers, but in Madeline’s case, it was “the mother-in-law gaining a son-in-law and forgetting her daughter.”

When she saw Madeline and Vincent get along so well, Olivia could not help but make a face at them and intentionally teased them.

Vincent was overjoyed. Today is truly a lucky day. I’ve already gained Madeline’s favor.

With Madeline’s approval, he felt more confident that Olivia would stop trying to evade him.

Moreover, when he playfully punished Olivia earlier, she reacted calmly, which was a good sign.

When he thought about all the good things, Vincent truly felt spirited and could not help but radiate with happiness.

It seemed like losing that set of 18th-century coffee set to Kimberly was worth it.

Madeline walked ahead and led Vincent inside.

Vincent suddenly realized he was so happy to talk with Madeline that he had forgotten about the things in the car.

He told Madeline that he needed to get the things from the car.

When she heard this, Madeline grabbed him and dragged him forward. “Once you’re at the Salter residence, it’s not proper for a guest to move things themselves.”

She immediately summoned a few serv ants to help with the unloading.

Olivia observed all this and thought, ‘Mom’s being so biased! Vincent gets such special treatment, but Wayne has to carry things every time he visits.”

Furthermore, she usually imparted the value of self-reliance to them. She believed that attending to matters personally was always better than relying on others.

However, it appeared that the situation had changed in Vincent’s case.

However, in the Salter family, Madeline held the authority. She was the and the top authority.

queen mother Her words were final.

When she looked at her mother’s adorable expression, Olivia had nothing to say and decided to play along. “Alright, you can do as you please.”

Benedict had already made tea in the living room. Unfortunately, Olivia’s brother, Wayne, had to leave for a business trip and could not meet his sister.

Meanwhile, Olivia’s sister-in-law, Anne, was playing with a little cutie.

After he chatted with Benedict for a while, Vincent was captivated by the little cutie.

Ever since Kimberly had given birth to the triplets, Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice, Vincent’s love and anticipation for children had grown significantly.

17:05 FM, 26 Jan The way he held the baby was so skillful, and he was good at entertaining the child.

Those who did not know better would have thought that Vincent was already an experienced father!

Madeline, surprised by this sight, commented, “I never expected you to be so good with children.

Nowadays, many young people seem to avoid or neglect spending quality time with their kids.”

Madeline knew about Katherine but was unaware of Kimberly’s existence, let alone the fact that Katherine and Kimberly were the same person. Consequently, she was not aware of Katherine having three children.

Olivia had a very close relationship with her family and shared about everything with her mother.

However, she remained silent about Kimberly’s situation. She kept her mouth shut on this matter.

Such matter was best kept secret, especially during this time.

So, when Madeline had doubts about Vincent, Olivia quickly interjected, “His friend had triplets; he must have helped take care of them from time to time.”

Olivia’s explanation enlightened Madeline. Nonetheless, she still thought highly of Vincent for his childcare skills and wanted to give him some extra credit for it.

In Madeline’s eyes, today was a big celebration, so she decided to personally prepare a grand meal to show her appreciation.

Madeline still wanted to know more about Vincent, so she decided to take Olivia to the kitchen.

However, Olivia was quite puzzled and thought, ‘Doesn’t Mom know that I barely know my way around the kitchen?”

It was only after moving out of Kimberly’s house and living on her own that Olivia started experimenting with simple dishes and followed cooking tutorials in her spare time.

If something went wrong, there must be a demon.

Vincent was called to play chess in the study with Benedict.

Olivia was a little worried that Vincent was not under her surveillance. She wondered if Vincent might not follow her plan and possibly messed things up.

Thus, even if she was in the kitchen, she kept peering toward the study.

When she saw her daughter’s actions, Madeline could not help but smile and said, “Are you worried that your boyfriend will be devoured by Dad?”

“Don’t worry. I can see that the young man is very clever. Even Wayne can’t compare to him. It’s obvious that he’s not just from an ordinary family.”

Madeline knew her son very well. Although she had only spent a short time with Vincent, her intuition told her that he was not an ordinary guy.

Olivia was a bit surprised to find her mother’s keen insight. “Mom, have you learned some mind-

reading skill or something else?”

In response to Olivia’s teasing, Madeline replied, “If I had learned mind-reading skills, how could you ever deceive me?”

At this moment, Olivia was secretly blaming Vincent for making random remarks, which potentially caused trouble for her.

Little did she expect that Madeline would drop a bombshell and said, “What are you two up to? You’re driving a little old car, but the stuff inside is all valuable items. I took a quick look. The things inside could probably buy dozens of these cars.”

Olivia sighed and wondered how to answer this.

She felt an urge to run to Benedict and escape from this situation.
