Chapter 556 - The approval of the Dowager (1/2)

Ryn could bȧrėly able to control herself. Her new baby. She did not even manage to drive this car around but now...

The shape and brand were the same but if she did not look carefully enough when she was buying it, she would think that they bought a new car that was shaped like hers but from a more high-end brand.

She could not believe how they actually did this to her. No one asked her anything. No one asked her permission at all. It was as if she was just a spectator and staring at a showroom car with a full group of proud people.

Her head turned to look at Jeremy and saw his wry smile. She knew immediately that he was kept in the dark as well. She looked at his parents and grandmother.

And it hit her head. This was with the approval of the Dowager.

The smile. The pride in her eyes. All was clear to Ryn.

She looked again at Jeremy but her boyfriend put a hand on hers and shook his head slightly. It was better not to say anything than make them hurt.

Her teeth sank onto her upper lip. The Dowager was old and despite the strong appearance, she was not that healthy, to begin with. Her heart was not strong and she has diabetes.

She guessed it was not a good idea to question their decision to modify her car without permission when everyone seemed so proud of the result and the Dowager even gave that proud look as she gazed at the car.

”So, what do you think?” the Dowager asked when until several minutes, there was no reply from the younger woman. Everyone was looking at Catherin but all she did was gape and then look at Jeremy. The couple did not even say anything at all, just exchanging a look that no one except them knew the meaning.

Ryn took a deep breath as she tried to construct words in her mind. Something that would not hurt anyone's feelings especially the women.

”She is happy,” Jeremy said finally, ”She's too happy to even speak any word but she is very happy and thankful for what you have done.”

”Really, Ryn, you are happy? You're not mad at us?” Mrs. Long asked hurried as she held Ryn's hand. Her eyes blinked at the younger woman hopingly.

”Yes, Aunty. I am happy with the car,” Ryn said finally. She tried to smile reassuringly, silently thanking the Lord for giving her the gift of the ability to control her expression. She could be anything she wanted and no one could see behind the mask she put on.

And even now, no one could see what she really felt.
