Chapter 547

I thought to myself, so I smiled and prepared a few more dishes to accompany her.
The whole noon, my mom and I were busy in the kitchen.
With this busy schedule, she also felt much better, and there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Until 2 o’clock in the afternoon, my mom and I had all the dishes prepared and laid out on the table, which was quite a large table.
After preparing the meal, my mom went back to her room to tidy up. She double–checked her outfit and makeup with me several times before sitting on the sofa, waiting for Quentin and his girlfriend to arrive.
Seeing my mom’s expectant and nervous look, I joked with her, “Mom, come to think of it, shouldn’t it be the new daughter–in–law who should be
nervous?”
“Alas, you don’t understand. Mom is just afraid of neglecting others, which might affect Quentin’s relationship with that girl.”
“No, mom, you have already done very well.”
I was speaking when my mother suddenly sighed again, with a somewhat worried look.
She suddenly looked at me and said earnestly, “Ralda, you and Quentin are the closest relatives in the world. Whatever happens in the future, you and Quentin must love and take care of each other.”

I nodded, “I will, Mom.”
“I am no longer here…”

My heart suddenly skipped a beat, frowning and saying, “Mom, please don’t say that, what do you mean you won’t be here anymore…”
In my mother’s eyes, there seemed to be a hint of complexity. She smiled. at me and said, “It’s nothing, it’s just that I am getting older and can’t always be with you forever.”
“I don’t care, anyway my mother must be healthy and live a long life.”
“He lived to be a hundred years old…”
My mother suddenly choked up, wiping away tears as she smiled at me and said, “Our Ralda is really a silly child.”
Just then, the doorbell rang.
I was delighted in my heart, “It must be Quentin and my future sister–in- law coming.”
My mother quickly wiped away her tears and fixed her makeup.
I hurried to open the door.
As the door opened, I was taken aback.
Outside the door, there was only Quentin.
“Where’s my future sister–in–law?” I asked Quentin.
Quentin pursed his lips and said nothing.
I furrowed my brows, looked around persistently, and even ran to the
elevator entrance to see if the girl was shy and hiding.
However, I looked around for a long time but still didn’t see anyone.
Quentin’s deep voice suddenly came from behind: “No need to look……. she didn’t come.”
I was taken aback and turned to look at him, only to see him enter the room with a dejected expression.
What’s going on?
Did he have a fight with his beloved girlfriend?
I hurried back to the room, and my mom was anxiously asking Quentin, “What’s going on? Why hasn’t that girl come? Does she… does she not like our family?”
“No.”
Quentin shook his head and set aside the nutrients and supplements he had brought, explaining to me and Quentin, “Kimora suddenly had something come up, so she couldn’t make it. Don’t blame her, she…”
“What does it mean to blame her? She’s always like this.”
I couldn’t hold back my anger in an instant and said angrily, “Last time she stood me up, I let it go, it was just the first time, who doesn’t have an emergency at the last minute.”
“But this time I mainly came to see my mother. Isn’t it impolite and rude of her to stand me up like this?”
