Chapter 1148: 305: Overbearing Viola!_4 Chapter 1148: 305: Overbearing Viola!_4 Viola Thompson continued, “Why wasn’t I informed about Aunt’s birthday banquet?”

She couldn’t imagine, if she hadn’t attended this birthday banquet.

What rumours would be spread about the Lentz Clan and Terrence Lentz in River City.

Viola had once been the object of gossip.

She knew well how it felt.

Terrence Lentz said, “The Sight Restorer Plan has just been completed, and I know you must have been very busy lately, so…”

Being with Viola wasn’t meant to cause her more trouble.

“Lentz, promise me that no matter what happens, you’ll tell me first. The most taboo things in a relationship are suspicion and concealment,” she paused here, “If I hadn’t come tonight, do you know what kind of gossip would have been made about you?”

Terrence Lentz’s expression was calm, and so was his tone, “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”

He was used to being talked about.

Viola slightly turned her gaze, just looking into Terrence Lentz’s eyes, speaking softly and word by word, “Listen, I care.”

Such a light sentence set off ripples in Terrence Lentz’s heart.

Mr. Lentz, who was usually composed, couldn’t control himself this time, he extended his hand and pulled her into his embrace.

Just holding her.

For a moment, their breaths were in sync.

After a while, Terrence Lentz let her go.

If he continued to hold her, he wasn’t sure if he could still control himself.

The car moved along at a steady pace.

Driving slowly through the beautiful night scene.

Their fingers intertwined, suddenly, Viola seemed to remember something, “I’m not going to the hotel.”

“Go home?” Terrence Lentz asked.

“Mm.” Viola nodded slightly, “I want to go back and see.”

Terrence Lentz nodded slightly and instructed the driver to change the route.

Viola hadn’t been back to River City for a long time.

But her home was not chaotic.

She had arranged for people to clean regularly, and had even installed a remote watering system for the plants on the balcony, so, all the plants were very alive.

Terrence Lentz lifted the white cloth covering the furniture, then cleaned up with Viola.

By the time they were finished, it was already one o’clock in the morning.

Terrence Lentz looked at his watch, preparing to leave.

Viola said, “Why don’t you stay tonight? The room next door is still empty.”

Terrence Lentz was just fretting about not having an excuse to stay.

Who wouldn’t like to share a space with their loved one?

Although they weren’t in the same room.

But being under the same roof, they felt the air around them was fresh and sweet.

Eleanor Armstrong’s birthday banquet was undoubtedly a glorious event.

Because of Viola’s appearance, the Lentz Clan’s stocks had hit their limit several times.

For a while, the hot topic in River City was the engagement between the Lentz and the Thompson Clans.

Eleanor Armstrong was very happy, but she didn’t deliberately show off.

After many years of struggle in the mall, she knew well the importance of being low-key.

The next morning.

Terrence Lentz got up early to make breakfast, then left a note for Viola that he had to go home to change his clothes.

Last night he had taken a bath, but hadn’t changed clothes.

In the Lentz’s living room.

Seeing Terrence Lentz return, Eleanor Armstrong immediately stood up from the sofa, “Terrence!”

“What’s the matter, Mom?” Terrence Lentz looked at Eleanor Armstrong.

Eleanor Armstrong glanced at Sophie coming down from upstairs, narrowed her eyes, then said, “Come with me to the study.”

Terrence Lentz followed Eleanor Armstrong’s steps.

Eleanor Armstrong closed the door to the study, her face immediately changed, “Did you sleep at Viola’s last night?”

“Yes.”

“Fool!” Eleanor Armstrong scolded angrily, “Viola is so young! How could you, how could…”

Not to mention, Terrence Lentz hadn’t formally met Viola’s parents yet.

What if Viola’s parents don’t agree to this affair?

What’s more.

Viola was only nineteen.

Girls are usually the ones who get the short end of the stick in such situations.

“Terrence, I have always thought of you as a sensible person! But this time, you have really disappointed me!”

Eleanor Armstrong was very angry.

A man must be responsible.

Even though Viola was Terrence Lentz’s girlfriend now, they weren’t married yet, nor did they have a marriage certificate, so it was too unfair to Viola.

What if Viola got pregnant unexpectedly?

Would it be hard to hear when it gets out?

“Mom, you’re overthinking,” Terrence Lentz was glad that his mother could consider things from Viola’s perspective. Then he explained, “We slept separately, Viola’s house has a two-bedroom layout.”

Upon hearing this, Eleanor Armstrong’s expression gradually relaxed, “Really?”

“Mm.” Terrence Lentz nodded slightly.
