The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 268

Jane grew extremely nervous as she heard some noise coming from outside. But soon she saw Sam with a bright smile walking inside with parcels in his hands.

"Mom, I'd like to introduce someone to you, " Sam said to Jane as he put the bags aside gently and pushed Chris to the fore. "This is my girlfriend -- Chris. You have met her before."

"Nice to meet you, Jane, " Chris greeted as her cheeks flushed pink.

Jane let off a sigh of relief at the sight of Chris. "Let me have a good look at you. We haven't seen each other for months, am I right?" she turned to Chris as she gripped her hands warmly.

"Yes, it has indeed been several months, " Chris answered bashfully. "Jane, this is for you. I hope you like it, " Chris continued as she handed the scarf to Jane.

"You don't have to bother buying me gifts, dear. I am happy just to see you here." "Chris, you are such a considerate, kind and loving girl. Unlike you, Sam hasn't given me any presents yet. What is the point of giving birth to a son?" Jane went on as she giggled with her eyes simmering with joy. She then opened the package and found the scarf to her liking.

"Mom, are you sure?" Sam jumped in with a playful smile. Noticing Jane's immediate affection and liking towards Chris, he was much relieved.

"Let us forget him for now. Please do have a seat there and make yourself comfortable, " Jane said to Chris while taking her by the hand enthusiastically, and they sat down on the sofa. "Even when we lived abroad, I was very fond of you and I thought Sam and you would make a wonderful match. At that time, I tried to persuade him several times to try to see you, but he refused. Now, you two finally get together. I really just feel so happy seeing the both of you!"

Jane kept chatting with Chris holding her hand. She was very clearly satisfied and overjoyed with Chris.

Chris was a beautiful girl from a respected family. In other's eyes, Sam and her was a perfect couple. It was only natural that Jane admired her.

Technically, as long as Sam didn't date Autumn, she would be fine.

"Your hands feel so cold, child. Are you okay?" Jane asked with concern.

"I'm fine, " Chris responded as she shook her head.

"Sam, turn on the air conditioner please, " Jane turned to Sam. "It's my fault. I should have turned the conditioner on in advance as the weather has become colder these days."

"It's okay. I'm not cold at all..." Chris reassured Jane as she gave Sam a momentary glance.

Before coming, she was constantly worried that Jane might dislike her. But now she was at a loss by Jane's excessive warmth. She couldn't even ask Jane not to be so civil to herself.

"Mom, where is dad?" Sam tried to change the subject, as soon as he saw Chris's embarrassed expression. "When is a good time to have lunch?"

"I almost forgot, " Jane responded. "This morning your dad said that he had some urgent matters to handle in the company and he would join us directly for lunch. He should have been home by now."

"Sam, you stay here and chat with her. I will just take a quick round in the kitchen and check on everything." Chris heaved a sigh of relief as she saw Jane leave.

"My mother is such an easy-going person. She treats you in such a passionate manner simply because she adores you, " Sam said to Chris. "I see. But her over enthusiasm is making me nervous, " Chris nodded.
