Listening to that, the smile which was once on her face started diminishing. Was Lady Grace trying to make her a nanny for her son?
[You are someone who I believe will influence my son in a good direction. Love him if you are interested in him and he will surely do so. Not that I have forced him to do so, but because he is willing to.
I might have influenced him right now to talk to you, but we don’t know what will happen between the two of you. I really wish that you could be together and be that bringer of happiness to him.
I know that I might sound selfish, but since you were honest with me, I thought that being honest with you is a must as well.]
Diamond sighed inwardly as she listened to Lady Grace’s words.
Although her reasoning didn’t sit well with her, she understood the mother’s worry. Every mother, at least the ones who are responsible, always wishes for the best for their children.
They want to see them with the right people, walking on the right path and just living happily ever.
She didn’t know what Lady Grace’s son was like for her to push him into such a path. But from her tone, she could judge that her son might have been hurt too much for her liking.
Rather than letting his heart get broken because he had been cheated on, just because he didn’t have time for the girl, his mother would prefer he enter a relationship with Diamond.
With her at least, he would know beforehand that he wasn’t alone and that other guys were waiting on his girlfriend. There would be no sense of cheating and at the same time, he wouldn’t need to worry about his girl getting lonely when he wasn’t there.
Other people would be doing the job for him.
"It’s going to be tough, you know!"
[I know but before you try it, you can never say never!]
Diamond let out a deep sigh as she patted her head, thinking about what to do.
After being silent for a while, as Lady Grace didn’t interrupt her thoughts, she opened her mouth and responded, "For now, I can only promise to talk to him. We will talk, get to know each other and if we like each other, we will date. But I will tell you in advance, Lady Grace. If he isn’t to my liking, no matter how much he likes me, I won’t date him. Are you sure that you want to go ahead with that?"
As if she had been waiting for that question, she hurriedly responded, [It’s not a problem. We can’t force people to love each other, it will be just misery!]
Diamond smiled upon hearing that. "That’s good because I wouldn’t want to hurt you or your son when it fails to work out."
[Don’t worry, I understand all this and so does he.]
"At the moment, I broke up with my boyfriends, so I am single and healing. If I were to date him and then others in the future, he isn’t allowed to be jealous."
[He won’t have time to be, anyway!]
Diamond’s lips twitched when she heard that. Just how busy was this son of hers?
Diamond nonetheless, didn’t stop there but continued to add unreasonable conditions and the mother was eager to accept them all.
With Lady Grace acting like that, even if Diamond didn’t want to accept the proposal, she would be a devil in disguise.
[I will let my son contact you on ChatLine. You use this number, right?]
"Um, I use that one there," Diamond answered as she stretched her arms, yawning.
[That’s good. I will give him your number and you two can chat. Whatever happens in the future, I will accept it?]
Diamond beamed when she heard that. "Sure, I _" Unfortunately, her sentence was cut midway as there was a knock on the door.
"Lady Grace, let’s chat another time. My appointment is here!" she called out to the other.
[Oh~ okay. You do what you must do. My son will contact you later.]
As Diamond climbed down from the bed, she answered, "Sure. I will be waiting for his message."
[He will contact you, don’t worry!]
"Um. I believe you," she chuckled lightly, seeing how serious Lady Grace sounded.
With everything that should be said out in the open, the call, which lasted over thirty minutes, finally ended.
Diamond shook her head helplessly as she walked towards the door.
Who would have thought that there would be a day a potential mother-in-law would scout for her?
She didn’t know if this was bad or not.
It was good for a mother-in-law to Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive! At the same time, the thought that her potential future boyfriend might be influenced more by his mother sort of irked her.
Wasn’t that dating a momma’s boy?
No, that wasn’t a good statement to say.
She loved her parents so much and, at times, listened to them seriously. Didn’t that make her a parents’ girl?
Anyway, it didn’t seem that bad for a son to listen to his mother. If he couldn’t even listen to her, then what about other people?
By checking this son out and giving him a chance, she might not have to deal with issues of how to get this matter to the in-laws. Rather, the mother would do everything in her power to make the family accept her.
Besides, Lady Grace had accepted her conditions. In an attempt to let her rethink this matter seriously, she even told the other that if they ever have children in the future, the first child would carry her last name.
Lady Grace was so fast in agreeing that it made her wonder if her son was troublesome that she was so eager to sell him off.
Should she check him out using Andrea?
Getting to know each other naturally was the best way to go.
If she gets hurt in the future, then it would be her fault.
She wasn’t going to investigate everyone that she met just because the twins betrayed her trust.
Unless there were doubts and suspicion towards that person, Diamond wasn’t going to investigate anyone.
Life would be dull if it continued like that.
She didn’t know when the son would send her a message, but for now, dealing with the two men she was about to face in a moment was of greater importance.
Why trouble her mind when there were two handsome men she had included in the list of potential lovers?
