Chapter 591


    Carlene headed back to the kitchen.


    Nadine pulled out her foundation and applied some on her face to conceal the skin that got bruised


    when Adrian stepped on her. Then, she got up to check herself in the mirror.


    She began to think about excuses that she could use to invite Adrian to the family home tomorrow.


    It took only a short time before Carlene returned with dinner. She added some extra side dishes


    because her daughter was


    eating too.


    The mother and daughter sat at the dining table and began to eat. Meanwhile, Carlene said, “Go on,


    Naddy. You’re home because you have something to tell me, right?”


    Carlene knew her daughter very well. She knew that something had to be wrong for her daughter to


    suddenlye home.


    Nadine giggled and said, “You make it sound like I don’te home without a reason, Mother.


    However, I do have something to talk to you about. I’d like to know if Grandfather lett anything behind


    before he passed away?”


    Carlene nced at Nadine. “Why are you asking such a thing out of nowhere? Also, you’re thirty years


    old, Naddy. You have yet to even go on a single date while your younger cousin is already married with


    children. Aren’t you


    worried?”


    “Why should 1?” Nadine pouted.


    “Do you know what the outsiders are saying about you?” Carlene questioned.


    Nadine was stunned.


    Carlene frowned and said, “The outsiders are calling you a promiscuous, indecent vixen. How many


    times have I told you to dress properly, huh?


    “Even if that isn’t the reason, what is then? Who are you dressing up so nicely every day for? You


    haven’t brought home a single man to meet me What’s going on in that head of yours?”


    Nadine said sulkily, “Mother, why do you care about what others say? I can dress however I like. I’m


    not exposing myself on purpose. What’s there to criticize? Also, who doesn’t have a personality?”


    Nadine had quite a personality indeed, she enjoyed showing off her s exy side. However, one should


    not be judged by their outer appearance at times.


    Carlene understood her daughter’s personality. She sighed and said, “You always try to exin


    yourself out of this whenever I mag you. Your father passed away early. If you don’t put in effort, we’ll


    lose our position in the family.


    “Naddy, find a suitable man and get married soon. You’ll pass your best years to bear children in


    another two years.”


    Carlene was more anxious than anyone because Nadine was her only child.


    Upon hearing this, Nadine pouted and said smilingly, “I was just about to tell you about my new


    boyfriend, Mother. I’ll be bringing him to meet you tomorrow.”


    Carlene was stunned and her eyes widened in surprise. “Are you serious? Are you lying to me?”


    In response to her mother’s excitement, Nadine nodded. It was the only way she could get Adrian into


    the family home.


    Nadine said, “I’m not lying to you. I’ll bring him to meet you tomorrow for read ”


    Carlene was excited beyondparison. She smiled and said, “What’s his name? How old is he?


    Where is he from? What do his parents do? What does he do?”


    “Umm…” Nadine then sindrlust. “His name is Adrian Xander and he’s only twenty-four years okt. He’s


    from Swallowston. As for his job, he manages a few million influential people and is extremely capable


    ”


    Carlene was greatly shocked. “Is be the sessor of somepany? Il le ‘s managing a few million


    people, wouldn’t that make hispany the biggest in Southrive? I’ve never met anyone by thest


    name of Xander in Southrive though. Are you


    lying to me?”


    Nadine continued to eat. “It doesn’t mean that something is nonexistent if you don’t know about it.


    There are many things in this world that you don’t know. Moreover, a person doesn’t necessarily have


    to build theirpany in Southrive, right?” “From what you just said, I believe that his family owns a


    securitypany. That’s a pretty good career with a good future at the very least. And he’s four years


    younger than you. How were you attracted to someone so young? Didn’t you used to say you like older


    men because they’re more mature?”


    Nadine pouted her little lips. She chuckled and said, “Can’t I have a change of heart, Mother? Anyway,


    I’ll bring him to meet you tomorrow, but you know about the rules of our home, right? Will he be able to


    The Gardner family home was strictly guarded and no outsiders were allowed to enter. However,


    Carlene said smilingly, ” That’s not a problem. I’ll just inform your first uncle that you’ll be bringing your


    boyfriend here.


    “Girl, you’ve finally seen the light. You’ve learned to bring a man home atst


    Nadine shrugged. “It’s because you kept pushing me.”


    Upon saying that, she added hastily, “All right, Mother. It’s time for you to tell rne if Grandfather left


    anything behind.”
