Promising Son-in-Law novel Chapter 38

Wang and the skinny man looked at the back of Colin Ward, thinking of what he just said to them.

Colin was just being kind and gave them a suggestion. It would only benefit them if they could learn from it, which as a man making it to the manager, Ye understood.

Leading the way in the front and together with Colin, Ye got to the car Nina White ordered. It was a BMW which was at the price of two million.

Colin was quite satisfied with it and when he was about to leave, he stopped to ask Ye, “How long will it take to give me one more car like this?”

He thought that flattery was a good way to have Doris Lee’s parents to accept him completely, and now was good timing.

“About ten days, but we have an Audi car right now, and it’s also at the price of two million.” Ye smiled and answered.

Hearing from him, Colin paused to think. The mother-in-law of him never drove the same car as him, so an Audi might even be better, “Alright, keep that for me. I’ll send people to pick it tomorrow.”

“You got it.” Ye smiled and nodded his head, while deep down, he was opening a bottle of champagne right now.

Having left the dealership with his brand new car, Colin got to his office where Nina White was waiting, “Mr. Ward, Flora Lewis is here again. She wants to express her gratitude to you.”

“Gratitude?” Colin blinked his eyes, “How?”

“Dinner.” Nina White glanced at him with a weird look before continuing, “And she might be going to talk about another partnership with you.”

Colin rubbed his chin meditatively. Flora Lewis was the best friend of Doris Lee, so she could not know that he was the chairman right now, “Pass the dinner, another partnership’s negotiable.”

“So...you’re going to meet her in person?” Nina asked hesitantly.

“Ask Lenard Wang to meet her. He’ll know what to do.” Colin answered with a wave of his hand.

“As you wish.” Nina nodded her head and left.

To avoid meeting Flora, Colin left to home on purpose in one hour later, while unexpectedly, the two of them still met.

“Colin Ward?” Flora Lewis looked at Colin Ward with wide-opened eyes, “What are you doing here?”

“Oh,” Colin sighed slightly, “I’m working here.”

“Here? At Marquis group?”

Colin nodded but knew Flora still did not believe him, “You can ask Doris about this.”

Flora looked at him doubtfully and then texted Doris Lee, “Girl, does Colin Ward work in Marquis group?”

While Doris was at a meeting and did not see the text.

Having no response, Flora stared at Colin and snorted lightly, “It doesn’t matter if you work here or not. Even if you do, you must be an ordinary employee.”

Rubbing the nose, Colin did not explain, “Alright, I’m going home, ciao.”

Flora rolled her eyes and was about to leave as well, but she saw the BMW car of Colin’s.

“Wait, that’s yours?” Flora knew that car.

“Yeah.” Colin turned around.

“You bought it?” Flora looked at him with astonished eyes.

That was a two-million BMW car, and Colin just bought a two-million Maserati and two villas!

“Yeah, I bought it. By the way, where’s your car?” Colin did not get the point of her question.

Colin remembered she had a Volkswagen car, but she did not seem to drive it here today.

“At the repair shop.” She was still in shock.

“Um...” Colin hesitated for a second before asking: “Do you need a ride?”

If it was not the best friend of his wife, he would never give a ride to another woman.

“Sure!” Flora did not even think because she could feel the brand new car.

They got in and Colin started the car.

“Where did you get the money? I mean, two cars and villas? That’s too much for an employee.” Flora could not hold her curiosity and finally asked.

“Thanks to the bonus from my supervisor for my hard work.” Colin answered calmly.

“You?” Flora still did not believe him.

Colin did not want to continue the subject and went silent.

Minutes later, Flora started to ask questions again, “Do you ever meet the chairman of yours? What’s he like? How old is he? Did he get married?”

Colin Ward: “...”

“Tell me! Or did you never meet him?” Flora was getting disappointed as she said because she was expecting to get some information of the chairman.

“Average appearance, twenty-five years old, married.”

“Married?” Flora then whispered to herself slightly, “Shit...”

“Yeah, and he loved his wife.”

Hearing the last sentence, Flora glared at Colin who did not even have a clue why she was upset.

For the rest of the road, the two of them never have another conversation.

After sending Flora Lewis home, Colin got back to his house as well, but he found Doris was not at home, so he called her out of worry.

“Doris? You still working?”

“Yeah, it’s the project. I need to fix it in time.” Doris sounded tired.

Colin frowned and asked, “Do you need help?”

“No, it’s okay, it should be done soon. You just grab something to eat, don’t wait for me.” Doris hung up after saying this.

Colin paused to think and then he texted Nina White, “Check on the project of Lishi company and report to me later.”

Half an hour later, he received an e-mail from Nina.

From it, Colin learned that the project was going well until today. Something happened to the material supplier and it caused the short on materials. To solve the problem, they must find a new supplier as soon as possible.

Knowing the general situation, Colin was not so worried.

As Doris said, it was not a big issue.

By the time Doris got home, it was almost late at night. Looking at the exhausted wife of his, Colin asked, “Did you eat yet? Noodle?”

Doris nodded her head with a light smile.

Fifteen minutes later, Colin came out from the kitchen with a bowl of steaming noodle, and for no reason, Doris found this life warm and sweet all of a sudden.

She finished it quickly and then felt both her stomach and heart warm.

“Alright, time for bed.” Colin said softly before taking the bowl to the kitchen and clearing up.

Doris just went to shower and then directly to the bedroom.

When Colin cleaned up, Doris was in her bedroom, ready to rest.

“Doris, you awake?” Colin hesitated before knocking the door.

In a minute, the door opened.

Doris was in a soft silk pajama which got the heart of Colin missed a beat.

“What’s up?” Doris did not notice the reaction of him.

“Um...” Colin was nervous, “Do you need a massage or something?”

Hearing his words, Doris was blushing at once, but on second thought, if she was going to accept Colin Ward as her husband, some physical contact was necessary, “Y...yeah, why not?”

Colin tried his best to remain calm and replied to her, “At your service!”
