Chapter 181 To See His Mother
Chapter 181 To See His Mother
The place they met was a small and exquisite coffee shop, which was near the window. Sitting opposite to that lady uneasily, Polly could guess who she was from her extremely similar appearance.
She was Owen's mother. They looked like each other very much.
Polly was caught off guard by Owen's mother sudden call. She guessed that Owen's mother must come here for her unreasonable gossip on the Internet. Polly was ready to be severely reprimanded by her.
Mrs. Su was wearing a set of colorful casual clothes. She didn't look like a graceful lady at first sight. But when he got closer, he could see that every move of hers was elegant and leisurely.
She had a tender temperament and a natural beauty. She must be an otherworldly beauty when she was young.
"Miss Han." Her voice was soft, and even if she didn't smile, she was always smiling, which was inherited from Owen.
"I'm sorry to bother you. Please don't mind."
He stopped stirring the coffee. His mother's soft but unnatural tone made her relax a little.
"Aunt, I'm sorry. I..." She didn't know what to say. She felt very guilty and uneasy as Owen's reputation was damaged. If Owen's mother scolded her as hard as she could, she would feel better.
"Miss Han, why did you say sorry?" Owen's mother wore an amiable smile on her face. She stared at Polly unblinkingly and said, "in fact, I think that Owen is a good match for Miss Han."
Hearing that, Polly looked at her mother in surprise. For a moment, she could not understand what she wanted to say. Did she mock at him? Or did she mean it.
Her mother sighed and continued, "I feel guilty about him. I want to give him the best thing in the world. Since he came back, I arranged many blind dates for him. All of them are outstanding women from a rich family and with outstanding talent. I thought they would be the best for him. Unfortunately, none of Owen's friends comes into my sight. "
"I asked him if he loved someone else. That kid has always been silent, even to me, his mother. This was different from Abbe. In fact, it's my fault too. If he was brought up by me, he wouldn't be like this. However, even if he didn't tell me, I have a vague feeling that he must have fallen in love with someone. "
"Owen is low-key and doesn't like to hook up with women. He has a distance with the women around him. So I have been paying close attention to the scandal on the Internet. "
Polly blushed. She lowered her head and dared not to look at her mother. She guessed that it was time to get down to business now, because she was the mother of Owen. No matter how bad the words he had said to her, she could bear them.
"I pay attention to both the Internet and Owen. I thought that Owen would immediately take actions to cut off the source of the news. However, he didn't do that. Every time he saw news related to this, he would smile. To be honest, I have never seen him smile since he came back home. So, I think, Miss Han must be special to Owen. I've always wanted to see what kind of girl could make him fall in love with her. "
Her heart raced uncontrollably.
"Miss Han, don't be nervous. Have some coffee. Small as it is, it's really delicious. I like it very much. " Owen's mother smiled and took a sip.
"Owen's father and I met here. This place made us meet." She raised her head and looked around. Her face was as light pink as a girl's.
"It has a different meaning for me to invite Miss Han here." Owen's mother sat up straight and said solemnly, "Miss Han, I like you at the first sight of you. I agree with your relationship with Owen, and please dispel all your misgivings. "
Feeling that her mother had misunderstood her, Polly wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. She could turn him down many times, but she could not say no to his mother.
Mrs. Su was a kind person. Once meeting her, she would think of her own mother, which made her want to get close to her.
Moreover, not only her scandal with Owen was reported on the Internet, but also Bruce was involved. Almost everyone in the world scolded her for her fickleness. But her mother didn't mind at all. She admired his broad mindedness.
"Miss Han, welcome home..."
Before her mother could finish her words, the door of the coffee house was pushed open from the outside. Owen quickly walked over.
Owen's mother greeted her son happily, "Owen, why are you here? Let's sit here. "
His handsome face was full of restlessness. Almost in a second, he had walked to the table. He didn't sit down, but looked enquiringly at her.
They grew up together and had such a tacit understanding that ordinary people could not reach. Even without saying a word, spark could understand at a glance that his mother didn't blame Dear Polly.
"Owen, sit down." Her mother reached out and grabbed his clothes, her voice as sweet as a little girl's, "what are you doing here? You are so busy with your work every day. Aren't you tired? "
After hesitating for a while, he sat down next to his mother.
Owen's mother ordered a cup of coffee for her son during the break.
"Owen, I just told Miss Han that she's welcome to our house. Now that you're here, you can tell me when you will take her home. "
Owen didn't say anything, but looked at Polly. At that time, Polly was taken aback. What did he mean by that? Didn't we reach an agreement the other day that we will be brother and sister from now on?
Owen's mother understood what he meant and looked at Polly, full of expectation.
It was summer now. In a room with a strong air conditioner, Polly felt as if she was sitting on the edge of a stove. She felt hot over and over again, and beads of sweat came out on her back.
At this moment, her phone rang. This life-saving straw came to her in time, so she immediately grabbed it and stood up as if she had jumped out of her seat.
"Sorry, aunt. I have to answer the phone." As soon as she finished her words, she ran away immediately, leaving the two men sitting opposite to her a second ago in shock.
After he left, his mother said with a smile, "Owen, don't you think it's appropriate for me to come to see Miss Han in such a hurry? Did you scare her? "
"Yes." Owen nodded and said, "she is always timid."
"I can see that." Owen's mother winked at him with a playful smile and said, "When she comes back, you need to talk to her in a polite way. But remember one thing, whether it's a scam or a dirty trick, you have to take her home as soon as possible! "
Polly rushed to the bathroom and answered the phone, with her back against the window. She breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Dear Polly! I'm so sorry! Something bad happened!" Rachel whimpered. The last few words were drowned by a mass of sobs.
Polly's heart sank, eager to know what had happened. But looking at her tearful face, she could do nothing but comfort her: "Rachel, what's wrong? Don't cry. "
After a long time sobbing on the other end of the line, Rachel said, "I'm sorry, Dear Polly. Please forgive me!"
"What have you done? Why do you ask me to forgive you?"
"You must forgive me first before I tell you. Otherwise, I don't know how to face you in the future! "
The woman's fine sobs disturbed Polly's life. She felt that it must be very terrible, but at the same time, she felt that Rachel would never do anything sorry to her.
"OK. Rachel. I forgive you."
"Dear Polly. I talked to you on the way to the school, and it was recorded by the recorder. I really don't know how the recorder turned on. I really don't know. It's all my fault. I was too careless! After leaving the school, I went to the he family's house. Mrs. he was here with her grandson. What a reckless kid! He opened my purse in the bathroom. He took out the recorder pen and the record was playing in front of Aunt and her friend. "
"Auntie was so angry! She was already very upset after reading the news on the Internet. Now with such a thing happened, she came to you immediately. I tried to persuade her, but I failed. I can only buy time for you. Dear Polly, where are you now? Are you still at school? "
This was out of her expectation. For a moment, Polly responded, "I'm not at school. I'm in a cafe."
"Then go back to school quickly. If aunt can't find you at school, she must be even more angry! Aunt is a typical woman who has a soft heart and a sharp tongue. If you let her vent her discontent easily, everything will be fine! Auntie has driven here. You should be mentally prepared! No matter what she says or does later, you have to endure it. Just wait until Bruce comes back! "
"By the way! Don't tell Auntie that I told you about it! Otherwise, she will be angrier! "
Owen's mother had already left when Polly came back. Only Owen was there waiting for her. The skeptical and weak sunshine passed through the bright glass, leaving a light golden shadow on his soft forehead. While stirring his coffee with a spoon in his hand, he turned his head slightly and looked out of the window at a few poplar trees with lush trees by the side of the road.

When she got close to him, Owen turned his head and smiled at her gently.
"Dear Polly. I'm sorry. I apologize for what my mother did to you."
"It's okay. Your mother is a nice person."
She sighed to herself. As a well-educated lady, some of them were as dignified as Bruce's mother, while some were as tender as her mother. That was why their circumstances were so different from each other. The difference might be related to their family life.
Since she entered the upper class circle, she had learned that the CEO of the Su group spoiled his wife very much. Judging from her manner, she knew that Owen's mother must have married a good husband. Her every movement and speech showed her sweetness. But Bruce's father was messing with other woman. His mother had no choice but to leave.
"Don't take her words to heart. I didn't clarify it in front of her just now because I didn't want to disappoint her and I hope you can understand. I promise that I'll explain to her when I get back. "
