NovelEnglishChapter 1190 "Andrew, my mom didn't give you a hard time, did she?" Lauren asked as they stepped into the Rhodes residence's front parlor.
She had noticed right away that Andrew did not look so great.
"Tt's fine.
Your mother was...
gracious enough," Andrew said with a small smile.
There was no need to bring up Tiana's moment of madnessit was better buried.
Jameson chuckled.
"Andy, sorry to trouble you again! But today wasn't just about getting your help with her condition." Lauren beamed.
"That's right, Andrew.
Now that you're part of the family, you're not an outsider anymore.
So, Dad planned alittle family dinner.
We thought we'd introduce you to speople too, help you make sconnections around Blumedale." Jameson added, "Exactly! And I heard from Lauren that you've been looking for srare medicinal herbs. Well, turns out, I know sfolks who might be holding on to a few." Andrew nodded thoughtfully.
"lam looking for rare herbs, that's true.
But as for opening doors, Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRhodes, I really don't want to trouble you.
I've got things pretty much under control." Jameson waved him off.
"Con, Andy.
You're a young man ---- building something from scratchl respect that.
But Blumedale's no easy place to break into.
This city's crawling with powerful players.
You're running a startup, right? Trust me, if there's anything I can do, I won't hold back." Andrew was about to insist again that he did not need any help.
But Tiana, now dressed in an elegant black evening gown, walked in and interrupted him.
If Jameson wants to help, then you should just take it.
You may be capable, but we're family now.
Supporting each other is how it should be." Jameson smiled admiringly.
"That dress is stunning, hun.
You look like a movie star.
Tiana shot him a glare.
"Keep sweet-talking all you want, but don't expect to sleep in my bed tonight. Jameson laughed it off with grace.
He was not offendedthe truth was, he did not want to sleep with her anyway.
That pill Andrew had given him a while back? Worked wonders.
However, he had taken too much of it, night after night, and now he was completely drained.
His energy was shot.
Meanwhile, Tiana looked younger and more radiant by the day, glowing with vitality.
Jameson, on the other hand, was pale and weak.
That was enough to get him to cut back on everything Andrew glanced at Tiana with a complicated expression.
She really did look good in that dress.
The hem swept the floor, sleek and elegant, and the fabric shimmered with a refined sense of luxury.
Itwas the first tAndrew had seen her this fashion-forward.
The entire back was exposed, showcasing the smooth curve of her spine and skin that looked soft enough to melt against silk.
Lauren stepped over to help adjust Tiana's hair, smiling.
"Mom, you haven't worn this in ages.
You still look just as stunning." Tiana chuckled.
"Please, I'm way past my prime.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCompared to my beautiful daughter, I'm nothing special." Lauren shook her head.
"Don't say that.
I only look like this because I have such a gorgeous mom." Cecelia m chimed in with a grin. "No kidding! Mom, women like you are all the rage online right now.
If you open TikTok, you'll see that men are crazy about mature beauties with class.
They don't care about the young ones anymore." Tiana's face turned pinkas she scolded, "Watch your mouth, brat. You should be studying, not wasting ton TikTok! No more watching that garbage.
Don't grow up to be like your dad!" Cecelia pouted and mumbled an okay, ' clearly bummed.
Jameson, completely innocent in the matter, gave Andrew a helpless shrug.
Lauren had also gone to change, putting on a soft, flowing dress.
---- and touching up her makeup.
Then, the whole familyplus Andrew headed out in a whirlwind of motion.
Jameson drove one car with Tiana and Cecelia in tow.
Meanwhile, Lauren and Andrew rode together in another vehicle, just the two of them.
