Sylvain stared at Robin inquisitively. Robin tightened the clothes around favonovel.com and lowered favonovel.com head. Is that what Sylvain thought of her? She had just come from meeting favonovel.com potential husband before seeing him. She probably looked like a two-faced woman now.
“What? You didn’t know? Robin got along really well with favonovel.com potential husband. The man is from a good family and we know favonovel.com thoroughly. If everything goes well, he’s going to be my son-in-law, ” Mrs. Cox said after seeing Sylvain and Robin’s reactions.
Robin couldn’t take it anymore. “Mom! Stop it. I’ve never spoken to the man. You’re the ones getting excited. What makes you think he’s going to be your son-in-law? Have I agreed to that?”
Sylvain heaved a sigh of relief. “So, that’s how it is… Mrs. Cox, you must be hungry from your long search. Have some food while we discuss.”
Mrs. Cox shot Robin a glare. “And you’re drinking too. How dare you? Have you ever been allowed alcohol at home? Do you know what kind of girl you look like now?”
Robin didn’t answer. Her drinking alone had already received such a huge reaction. If favonovel.com mother found out that favonovel.com and Sylvain had already slept together, favonovel.com would probably have a stroke.
Are a while, Mrs. Cox asked again, “Sylvain, what’s your education like?”
Sylvain answered favonovel.com with the name of a well-known international college. “You’re welcome to check if you don’t believe me, Mrs. Cox. You’re in the industry, after all. It shouldn’t be too difficult. Aside from the scandal that you’re aware of, there’s nothing else for you to criticize. That much, I’m certain. Setting that matter aside, I should be far more superior in every other aspect than the potential suitor whom you’ve introduced to your daughter.”
Mrs. Cox was unrelenting. “That scandal alone is enough to soil my impression of you. What’s the use in being good in everything else?”
“Does a man not deserve forgiveness after making one mistake in his life?” Sylvain asked. “Besides, it wasn’t my intention in the first place. Your standards for others are a bit too harsh, Mrs. Cox.”
Mrs. Cox curled favonovel.com lips. “I can’t just believe in everything you say. One cannot judge a book by its cover. Your scandal caused quite a buzz, it must have greatly affected you. Your life must be a mess. How could you possibly plan on treating my Robin well?”
Sylvain rubbed his nose. “Well… You don’t have to worry about that, Mrs. Cox. I’m working for Tremont Enterprises now. The CEO of Tremont Enterprises himself signed me on. I’m much further away from the mess you’ve imagined. I’m sorry for disappointing you.”
Obviously, Mrs. Cox refused to believe him. “How could Tremont Enterprises possibly hire you after that huge scandal?”
Sylvain paused thoughtfully and replied, “You should have a look at some fashion magazines when you have the time, Mrs. Cox. My pieces are featured almost every month, along with my affiliated company. You’ll know if I’m lying once you’ve seen them. It’s getting late. Shall I take you both home?”
Mrs. Cox did not refuse. She got into Sylvain’s car along with Robin and went home.
Noticing how quiet Mrs. Cox was when they got down from the car, Robin carefully said, “Mom… You’ve met favonovel.com now. He’s not so bad, is he?”
Mrs. Cox scoffed. “He’s good at talking, I’ll give favonovel.com that. But favonovel.com doesn’t seem like a good man to me. I understand that he’s in fashion design, but his style is too… fashionable. What kind of man would have pierced ears? Isn’t that equivalent to a street hooligan? You used to be in his industry, so why haven’t you changed?”
“Would I dare?” Robin replied helplessly. “I don’t even have pierced ears. Isn’t it all thanks to your strict demands? Fashion designers are supposed to be fashionable. What century are you in? You don’t have to hold onto such old fashioned thinking, do you? He really is working at Tremont Enterprises, and Mr. Tremont himself hired him, with a high-paying salary. Anyone employed under Tremont Enterprises can’t be as bad as you think. Why won’t you believe him? The CEO of Tremont Enterprises is Arianne’s husband. I’ve met favonovel.com before too. If you won’t believe me, you’re welcome to call Arianne and ask favonovel.com yourself.”
