Chapter 84
Kimberly texted Olivia and Vincent before going to bed on Friday night.
For Olivia, she reminded her to pay attention to safety on the road.
The audit for recent projects was not that urgent, and the time was relatively ample. Considering that
Olivia had not spent time with her family for a long time, Kimberly suggested she take the opportunity to
stay home longer.
As for Vincent, she wrote concisely: [Good luck!]
Finally, the Saturday that Vincent had been looking forward to had arrived. Early in the morning, he put
on his best clothes.
The wild Maserati, the noble Rolls-Royce, the coquettish Porsche, the calm Bentley, and rows of luxury
cars were ready in the garage, waiting for their owner’s call.
Like most successful men, Vincent loved cars and always rewarded himself with luxury cars. That calm
Bentley was the reward he gave himself after winning the lawsuit against Christopher last time.
Whenever he was depressed, he would admire the cars in the garage. In his eyes, they seemed to
have vitality and could quickly accumulate energy for him when his spirit was low.
Vincent walked around the garage. The first one he had his eyes on was the wild Maserati, but soon he
rejected the idea himself.
It was not that the car was not good. Every car there was his favorite. It just occurred to him that the car
was too wild and lacked steadiness.
When a family chose a son-in-law to marry their daughter, the first thing to consider had to be whether
the man was steady and worthy of lifelong entrustment.
Although the car was only a means of transportation, it could also show the quality of
its owner.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFinally, he fixed his gaze on the calm Bentley.
One reason for choosing that car was that it was earned by Olivia rather than himself. The significance
was unmatched by other cars.
At the same time, the style of the car certainly would fit the widely recognized image of a satisfying son-
in-law. Appearing calm, low-key, and reserved, not only could the car give people a comfortable sense
of affinity but also make them feel more secure.
Chapter 84
Although Olivia said there was no need to prepare anything, Vincent had made a big purchase
yesterday, and his trunk was already full. He could not just waste the rare opportunity.
Some people said that as long as one had money, shopping was not a problem. In the past, Vincent
had thought so, too. But after yesterday’s exhausting shopping, he no longer did.
In the past, he only bought things for himself or someone he knew well. With a specific. goal, he would
head straight to the shopping mall, and there would be no issue as long as he went for the high-end
ones.
But now, it was as if he were finding a needle in a haystack. He had no idea what the Salter family
liked, and he could only guess and use Google.
He had searched the Internet for what the in-laws liked best. He got a variety of answers, and a ton of
dazzling recommended products flooded his phone screen.
In the end, he had no choice but to seek help from his elder brothers in the group chat, Protect Sis
PLUS, of which Kimberly was not a member.
Vincent: [Everyone, I’m going to meet my future father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow.]
He wanted to insert a new line but accidentally hit the send key. Before he could type the second
sentence, a commotion had arisen in the group.
Simon: [Good job. Who is the lady?]
Edward: [I didn’t expect you to be the first among the five of us to be out of bachelorhood.]
Samuel: [When are you bringing her to meet us?]
Vincent did not have time to read those replies and hurriedly sent his remaining text.
Vincent: [What shall I bring for the first visit?] After that, he did not forget to add a frustrated emoji.
Indeed, the wisdom of the masses exceeded that of the wisest individual. Everyone brainstormed and
earnestly offered their suggestions.
David: [Famous tobacco and alcohol are the most basic. Bring the best cigarettes and wine from your
home.]
Samuel: [Your mother-in-law is also a woman. She naturally loves skincare and healthcare products.]
Chapter 84
Simon: [That’s right. Supplements can’t go wrong.]
Edward: [Bring coffee beans. Your father-in-law probably likes coffee. Or, how about you be more
generous and offer your new coffee set from the 18th century?]
Upon reading Edward’s suggestion, Vincent could not help but grumble. He sent a crying emoji and
texted: [Kimberly has swindled the coffee set.]
Then, the other four people sent a snickering emoji in unison.
If Kimberly had not acted fast, Vincent might actually send the coffee set to Norham, after hearing
Edward’s suggestion.
At that moment, David texted again: [Alright, stop chatting here. Hurry up to buy those things we
mentioned just now. Add more as you see fit. It should be enough.]
Vincent felt reassured by David’s words.
After that, he had gone shopping in a hurry, and that was how the trunk was filled up by today. It looked
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike he was going to meet the parents and propose to the daughter.
After everything was done, Vincent called Olivia. He told her that he would be at her house in half an
hour and asked her to get ready quickly so that they could set off early. It was a three-hour drive from
Dellmoor to Norham..
Despite having prepared many gifts, Vincent planned to shop around in Norham again. with Olivia to
add some more things to her family’s liking. Better safe than sorry.
Olivia was an efficient and self-disciplined person, and she seldom slept in.
She had woken up early and finished her morning run. Then, she took a shower, changed into a floral
dress, and put on beautiful light makeup.
If Benedict and Madeline saw her sloven appearance, they might mistakenly think she did not live a
good life and might not let her live on her own again. Therefore, Olivia had to return home in her best
condition.
She did not expect that Vincent would call her so carly and would arrive in half an hour.
She used that time to check roughly the luggage she had packed last night.
Then, she called Kimberly and said, “Kim, I’m leaving soon. When I get back, I’ll bring you Norham’s
pickles you’ve been craving for.”
Like Olivia, Kimberly loved Norham’s pickles. The pickles could also be bought in Dellmoor, but both of
them thought it was not as tasty.
