Dinner At In Laws House

"Thank you for visiting."

Scarlett and Dominic escorted James and his parents all the way to the front of the yard to go home. James' parents requested that Scarlett and Dominic pay a visit to their home. They looked so very enthusiastic about having neighbors like Scarlett who were so gentle, and Dominic who was her college classmate.

"That kid is so adorable, huh."

Dominic noticed James who was still waving his hand, even though his left hand was held by his mother's Ainsley.

"Yes."

It's no wonder that the reply is only that short, Scarlett has already listened to more stories about Dominic's easily capricious personality. Sometimes he will be cold, and sometimes he will be considerate. That was already felt by Scarlett a few days ago. So he was not so surprised.

Scarlett set her foot towards the living room sofa, it felt like a day of shopping and decorating in the salon was very tiring. She also sat down with her legs slightly crossed,

"It's good that you chose a good salon."

Dominic came over with a glass of mineral water to give Scarlett. He knew that this woman had tried hard to change her appearance, even Scarlett's face would not be bored if she had to be looked at repeatedly.

"It was Cassie who took me away to her subscription salon."

Scarlett picked up the glass that was presented to her, and took a slow sip of the water in the glass until it was pointed. It seems that Scarlett is indeed really very thirsty.

"Thank You."

Dominic nodded as Scarlett said that magic sentence to him. In the current era, even very few people use magical sentences to appreciate the interlocutor. And Scarlett is a woman who is good enough to know this kind of triviality.

"Mom invited us to dinner together."

Scarlett nodded, it is customary for new couples to be invited to a dinner like this.  But, again she was nervously afraid that this new look of hers would not be liked by her in-laws. After all, this is the second time she has met Dominic's parents. It was at the wedding before, but they didn't say much. No wonder it made Scarlett a little nervous.

"There is nothing to be afraid of, my parents are good people."

As if knowing what Scarlett felt, Dominic gave a sentence that made Scarlett calm down. Dominic then moved to his room, after Dominic had previously given directions for Scarlett to prepare for the night. 

Scarlett started, changing her clothes. She chose the clothes she had just bought. Clothes that are suitable for this dinner. In order not to be too nervous, Scarlett learned to imitate the makeup that Madam Ellena had taught her, she also gave Scarlett an eyebrow print so that Scarlett could learn easily.

For this dinner, Scarlett chose a white dress with beaded flowers on her chest. It looks very elegant, although the makeup she uses is not too heavy.

[Why not just from the beginning I looked like this. This look actually makes me younger.]

Well that's how human beings are, she will feel regretful when she just tries new things that are better than before. And will continue to feel less, when the results obtained are not in line with his expectations. However, Scarlett is not that kind of person. She always had enough of what was there, so it was easy for her to be deceived by a man like Jack.

Just imagine, which man would be happy, if his needs were all borne by women. Although, the man has wealth, but taking advantage of such a stupid sororan is a pleasant thing, right. To that end, 

Scarlett tried so that in the future she would not be easily deceived by others. Although he realized that she had to evaluate more so that similar incidents would not happen again.

***

At eight o'clock in the evening, Dominic had been waiting for Scarlett since half an hour ago. Dominic is not a complicated person, he just wears a t-shirt and knee-length jeans. So, it didn't take long for him to get ready. Unlike a woman with all her wrinkles.

"Already?"

Dominic looked at the woman in front of him, he guessed this was a formal dinner. Why can he look like that? But that's good, at least Scarlett has begun to take a good look at his performance. Dominic didn't seem to be fascinated by Scarlett's appearance, because, since the incident Zoe cheated on him. It feels like Dominic is reluctant to put his heart on any woman. That trust even seemed to be shattered when he had completely given up his whole heart to Zoe.

"Come on."

Dominic walked first towards the car garage. Luckily he had told one of his drivers to heat up the engine. So, he and Scarlett can go directly to his parents' house. Along the way, too, they just kept silent, not intending to talk about anything. What Scarlett was worried about was that if Dominic's mother didn't like her, those bad speculations kept popping up in Scarlett's mind.

***

The residence of the Irving family, they are all preparing to welcome his new son-in-law. Prepared the best dishes ever, and have also prepared gifts for Scarlett and Dominic to take home.

When Scarlet and Dominic arrived at the magnificent house. They were greeted cordially. The family members had even sat at the dining table and smiled warmly towards Scarlett and Dominic. 

"Good evening all."

Scarlett said hello, and afterwards Dominic told her to sit down by pulling a chair for Scarlett. Instantly Scarlett felt strange, she had never even been treated like this by Jack and any man. Scarlett also looked very stupid, she was still comparing two very different humans.

"Thank you."

Scarlett sat next door, Grace. Scarlett thought that the dinner this time would be so crowded. However, there are only Elias and Grace Dominic's parents. And it seems that his grandfather named Erwin is also not here.

Grace, who understands Scarlett's gestures, explains that the rest of the family is busy at work. And Grace also promised to introduce Scarlett to the others. At the wedding, only a few families were present, it is understandable because the Irving family is very rich and has several branches of mining companies. One of them was left entirely to Dominic, the company was also initially on the verge of collapse, but because of Dominic's intelligence in managing it he was able to save the company and several other branches.

"You're so beautiful, Scarlett. It's not wrong for Dominic to choose you."

Grace gave Dominic a white glance at his face, then turned his gaze on Scarlett. 

"Thank you, Mother. Mom also looks very beautiful."

As if winning a lottery, Grace's smile widened. She then hugged Scarlett gently. It was only the second time I met Scarlett, it had made Grace very fond of her. Dominic never expected that Grace would be so excited to meet Scarlett, indirectly Dominic was grateful for the interaction between the two.

Previously when Dominic was dating, it even went so far as to get engaged to Zoe. The two of them never wanted to meet Zoe. It was because they wanted to test the sincerity of his future son-in-law. And of course they all agreed not to publicly indulge Dominic's identity. It was evident when Zoe left Dominic for reasons of rarely free time, but in fact they knew better what kind of woman Zoe was.
