Chapter 2795: Chapter 2804: Mom, Does That Mean You Agree?
"Over here, sit next to me." Adam Sinclair walked over first and pulled out a chair for Olivia Lewis, letting her sit inside, then he pulled out another chair to sit down himself. His handsome face wore a smile as he joked with Sydney Sullivan, "Mom, it’s only been a few days, but you look even younger! Mom, you’re getting younger and prettier; soon we’ll look like siblings when we go out, and in a few years, we’ll look like brother and sister."
What woman doesn’t like being told she looks young?
Sydney Sullivan’s eyebrows relaxed into a slight smile, her phoenix eyes glancing at him, "Cut it out, you smooth talker."
"I’m only speaking the truth; Olivia can vouch for me. Right, Olivia?" Adam lazily drew Olivia Lewis into the conversation.
Olivia Lewis was so nervous she almost didn’t respond, "Uh, right. Aunt, you really take good care of yourself; your skin looks very youthful. Some people might believe you’re in your twenties when we go out."
Sydney Sullivan seemed to be in a good mood. After asking the waiter to serve the dishes, she started to introduce to Olivia Lewis, "This restaurant was opened by my studio. What do you think?"
"This restaurant..." Adam was about to help Olivia fill in some details about the restaurant’s story.
Sydney Sullivan interrupted him with a roll of her eyes, "I’m speaking to Ms. Lewis, are you a Lewis?"
The formal and distant address made Adam’s eyebrows furrow, his expression revealing a hint of anxiety.
Olivia Lewis wasn’t foolish; she too heard Sydney Sullivan’s address. She didn’t really expect much from the start, so when Sydney Sullivan called her Ms. Lewis, she instead let out a long sigh of relief, feeling less tense.
She candidly shook her head and said to Sydney Sullivan, "Aunt, sorry, I’m not particularly knowledgeable about restaurants. I can’t discern the quality of a restaurant, but if I have to say, I’d only mention the restaurant’s decor design is very beautiful. It’s one of the unique restaurants I’ve seen, the type I’ll remember."
Sydney Sullivan should be very aware of her family background.
There’s no need for her to act pretentious in front of Sydney Sullivan; if she pretends, Sydney Sullivan would only disdain her even more.
Despite saying that, Sydney Sullivan’s unwillingness to accept her still made her feel quite disappointed.
Adam Sinclair most disliked seeing her low spirits; he disregarded Sydney Sullivan’s earlier warning and spoke up for Olivia Lewis, "Olivia’s strengths lie in other areas; Mom, please don’t make it difficult for her."
Sydney Sullivan’s face darkened, almost about to lose her temper, "Which eye of yours saw that I’m trying to make it difficult for her?"
"...That’s not what I meant." Adam Sinclair was caught in the middle, his head aching terribly.
"Then what do you mean? Such a big matter like marriage, you only informed me afterwards. Do you still regard me as your mom? You haven’t called me Mom; I thought I was just an outsider to you." Sydney Sullivan smacked the table hard, and when she loses her temper, it’s quite intimidating; the strong aura of a businesswoman, overwhelming.
"Mom!" Adam feared Olivia Lewis would feel embarrassed and called out to her.
Sydney Sullivan calmed her anger and sat back down, saying irritably, "Rest assured, the restaurant won’t have any other guests today; I’ve specifically instructed them not to open to the public."
She paused, seemingly having adjusted her mood, "When did you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau last night? Your dad still doesn’t know; what do you plan to do in the future? How will you tell him? From what I know about that man, he won’t agree."
Adam’s eyes lit up, grasping Sydney Sullivan’s hand, "Mom, does that mean you’ve agreed?"
