Female Novel
Chapter 224
Cecilia was always a bit wary of Tyrone, instinctively wanting to go upstairs. However, after taking a few steps, she stopped and came back, "No, I can't go back to sleep."novelbin
She had just managed to interrupt the little romance brewing between Quintessa and her son. If she left, they'd just end up back together.
Quintessa knew what Cecilia was thinking. She gave a self-mocking smile. In everyone's eyes, she, Quintessa, was a true vixen, a source of trouble. Respectable families would never approve of her. But Quintessa braced herself, her smile no different than usual, "Auntie, are you afraid I'll devour your son?"
Being so guarded against made Quintessa feel bitter, yet her smile only grew brighter.
Cecilia, feeling her concerns were pinpointed, awkwardly said, "Of course, I'm not comfortable with you, this little siren, being with my son. Tonight, you must sleep with me."
Cecilia felt she needed to keep an eye on Quintessa. Letting her sleep alone in the guest room? No way, they might end up together again.
Tyrone was a mess inside. If Cecilia wasn't his mother, he might have lost his temper, go up and give her a good beat. That was the honest truth.
Tyrone was exhausted. Being tormented by these two women in the middle of the night made him feel the world was full of traps.
"Mom, what do you want then?"
Cecilia gestured to Quintessa, "You sleep with me."
Thus, Quintessa spent the night in the same bed as Cecilia.
Initially, Cecilia insisted Quintessa sleep on the couch, but Quintessa just laid down on the bed. Cecilia's bed was soft and comfy, freshly aired out and smelling of sunshine. It reminded her of the warmth she felt lying in her mother's sun-dried blankets as a child, a warmth she could never forget.
Suppressing her bitterness, Quintessa turned over, kicked off her shoes, and pulled up the blanket directly, "If you don't want to sleep with me, you can always take the couch."
Cecilia huffed, "I am the elder here. You should show me respect."
Quintessa stretched, "Elder, sure. Maybe when you become my mother-in-law, I'l start respecting you."
"You wish. That day will never come."
"Ah, see, why must you say something so final? Anyway, if I set my mind to joining the York family, no one can stop me. I haven't met a man yet who could resist me for long. You might want to be nicer to me or you'll be the one suffering When I do become part of your family."
Cecilia didn't dare respond further and lay down in a huff, both settling on opposite sides of the bed.
Cecilia was sulking, while Quintessa was in a rather good mood.
"Auntie, is this like a pre-marital bonding session with my potential future mother- in-law?"
Quintessa enjoyed joking with Cecilia because it was stress-free. She knew, deep down, this old lady was really kind-hearted.
Cecilia snorted, "Don't flatter yourself. I'll never accept you, never. I'm making you sleep here because I'm worried."
Quintessa cut her off, "I know, you're worried I'll seduce your son Don't worry, I won't.
Cecilia was surprised. Was she being kind?
Quintessa winked at her, "Because it's your son who's after
His affection for me is indescribable.
