Just thinking about it made my nerves start to fray.
Edward shota reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, I'll talk to my mom and explain everything about you.”
“Edward...” | blurted out, my breath catching a little as | called his name.
But Edward stayed cool and steady, like a real grown-up. He just smiled, then walked off to take the call.

had no clue what he was saying.
My heart was pounding, like I'd been dropped right into the eye of a storm. Honestly, my confidence was shot.
Edward’s mom grew up in high society, so when it comes to picking a daughter-in-law, you know her standards
are sky-
high.
Yeah, I've got my own business and a bit of cash now, but compared to Edward, it’s like night and day.
Wait a second...
What am | even doing?‘ | scolded myself.
‘Am | seriously freaking out over the difference in status betweenand Edward?’ | couldn’t believe | was going
there.
‘Why am | even thinking about this? Even if he wants to marry me, he still has to see if I'm willing to say yes!‘ |
rolled my
eyes at myself.
Honestly, | was just giving myself a headache for nothing.
So, | turned around and headed back to the table, joining in on the conversation with the other ladies.

After a while, Edward cup behindand just placed his hands on my shoulders like it was the most natural
thing in the world. He leaned down, his breath warm against my ear as he murmured, “Let's step outside and
talk.”
That casual, almost intimate gesture of his-I couldn’t help but let my imagination run wild.
| followed him out onto the quiet veranda, where he was waiting for me, a playful smile tucked between his
brows.
“Are you worried?” Edward asked, a teasing glint in his eyes.
Edward couldn't help but tease me, his tone playful.
| let out a soft snort, “Worried about what? What's there to worry about?”
The teasing look on Edward's face disappeared in a flash. He stepped in closer, his voice dropping to a low,
husky murmur. “Really not worried?”

| straightened up, putting on my bravest front. “If worrying actually helped, I'd have taken over the world by
now.”
Edward couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to pinch my cheek. “You really don’t sweat the small stuff, do you?”

“Edward, whatever your mom said, just make sure she knows we're not really a couple. | don’t want her to
misunderstand or get anxious,” | said, meeting his eyes seriously.
Edward's face grew serious, and after a beat, he said, his voice low, “My mom didn’t object.”
I was stunned for a second. “That wasn’t what | was worried about.”
Suddenly, Edward whipped out his phone and showeda candid photo he'd snapped of me-then sent it
straight to his mom. Her reply popped up right away: “Such a gentle beauty. If you like her, make sure you
treasure her.”
My breath caught, and | stared at him, wide-eyed. “How could you just send my picture to your mom?”
The smile in Edward's eyes grew even deeper. “I just wanted her to meet you a little sooner. You and my mom
have the skind of spirit-graceful, calm, and with a real love for life.”
| blinked, and suddenly something clicked in my mind.
| remembered how Ryan always seemed to be missing that motherly affection, and he definitely had a thing for
older women-like me.
‘Wait, does Edward...?" | thought, my mind spinning.
The two of them-uncle and nephew-really did have the stype. Creepy, if you think about it.

Edward looked genuinely stunned, clearly not expectingto want to leave.
“Victoria, did | say something to upset you?” Edward asked, sounding genuinely concerned and a bit self-
reflective.
| shook my head. “No, I'm just really
tired. Thanks for SUpegnases an

and for calling the doctor for me.”
“If I didn’t do anything wrong, why are you leaving so suddenly?” A flicker of helplessness crossed Edward's
eyes.
No way | could tell him | was starting to think he might have sserious mommy issues.
Maybe he didn’t even realize that being into women with the svibe as his mom is basically textbook
mommy issues.
“Edward, do you always need a reason for everything before you say yes?” | asked softly.
