After being stuffed into the car, Rachel Saintclair was still distracted.
Her absent - mindedness made Leonard Winston look at her a couple more times. "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about your brother," Rachel Saintclair said with a smile. "Wondering what a handsome guy he must be."
"Oh? You're quite bold to think about another man right in front of me."
Rachel Saintclair shrugged helplessly. "What can I do? I have to consider my future life in case you leave me one day. Although I can't compare with you, I can still make a living by my looks, you know."
As she said this, she pouted, looking helpless. But the playfulness on her face and the blush on her cheeks from the previous excitement made her look particularly charming and coquettish at the moment.
That pouted mouth made Leonard Winston have an impulse to kiss her right away.
Leonard Winston smiled but said nothing. Rachel Saintclair chatted randomly, and he didn't find it annoying. Instead, he felt quite relaxed. Camille Dubois had introduced her to him back then. The reason why he chose to marry Rachel Saintclair was largely because she had clear goals. During the three - year relationship, she had always stayed in her proper place and never caused him any trouble.
There were rumors outside about who his hidden - married wife was. Occasionally, out of curiosity, Leonard Winston would deliberately create scandals with some celebrities. Of course, these flirtations were all within the scope of "deliberate", and it would be foolish to reject a beauty who threw herself at him.
However, his attempts to test her failed. His wife was really calm as if nothing could stir her. No matter how much commotion he created, she remained unperturbed. Sometimes, when Leonard Winston saw her being too calm, he would deliberately mention those things in front of her. She would actually look at him blankly and ask, "Is there such a thing?" This made Leonard Winston annoyed but helpless.
Moreover, Rachel Saintclair knew exactly where her boundaries were. She could deftly avoid sensitive topics and people, especially when it came to Elizabeth Collins.
Leonard Winston was certain that except for Rachel Saintclair, no other woman could tolerate his relationship with Elizabeth Collins, even if it was just a pure transaction of money and body.
He really liked a wife as sensible as Rachel Saintclair.
But... he glanced at Rachel Saintclair. Did this woman really not care about him at all?
A person should care about either the person or the money. But facing a dream lover in everyone's eyes, this woman could stay calm and only care about money. To be honest, Leonard Winston still felt a bit frustrated.
In dealing with the matter of Elizabeth Collins, Leonard Winston was often deliberate. He didn't really want to do anything in his heart, but the thought of Rachel Saintclair's indifferent face made him indignant.
Leonard Winston, who was always the center of attention and adored by thousands of people, was actually completely ignored by a little woman... No matter how he thought about it, this was a very embarrassing thing.
As the saying goes, it's not about winning the steamed buns but about getting the sense of vindication. That's exactly what Leonard Winston wanted!
Harrison Price, who was driving, glanced at the two in the rear - view mirror. To be honest, he really liked Leonard Winston's wife. She was beautiful and had a good temper. The key was that when Leonard Winston was with her, he would unconsciously relax and show a side that others couldn't see. This kind of relaxation didn't even occur when he was with Elizabeth Collins, but Mr. Winston never seemed to notice it.
Most importantly, Rachel Saintclair would never cause trouble for Mr. Winston. Listening to the two of them chatting aimlessly, Harrison Price had an illusion that this was how a couple in a family should get along in a plain way.
The on - looker sees most of the game. It would be better to be with this little woman than to marry Elizabeth Collins in the future. Although he was just a driver, his intuition told him that Elizabeth Collins was not a kind - hearted person and was not suitable to be the young mistress of the Winston family.
But... who could or dared to guess Mr. Winston's thoughts?
The car soon arrived at Central Sea Village. As soon as she got out of the car, Rachel Saintclair unconsciously became nervous, completely losing the relaxation she had in the car.
Leonard Winston noticed this change in her. Central Sea Village was where his grandfather lived. The reason why he married Rachel Saintclair was for the shares of Winston Group in his grandfather George Winston's hands.
Both of them were well aware of this, and they also knew that in Leonard Winston's eyes, Rachel Saintclair was just a vase with no real status. Every time Rachel Saintclair felt extremely embarrassed. She was like an outsider, or even less than an outsider, trying hard to fit into their family.
However, apart from the issue of shares, his grandfather was very kind to Leonard Winston and Ethan Winston. And a shrewd old man like his grandfather could easily see Rachel Saintclair's embarrassment. So every time they came, he would talk to Rachel Saintclair more.
Leonard Winston's grandfather especially doted on Ethan Winston. So as soon as Ethan Winston came back, he would definitely come to visit George Winston first.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
"No," Rachel Saintclair gave him a sweet smile. "I'm just so excited to meet my brother - in - law that I'm a little nervous!"
Leonard Winston felt a bit uncomfortable. This woman was so excited about someone she hadn't even met yet. Why couldn't she give him a bit of that excitement?
"Let's go."
They entered George Winston's house. The old couple warmly welcomed them in.
After some greetings, they sat down at the dining table. A big table of dishes was already prepared. Rachel Saintclair took a sneak peek. There were many dishes that Leonard Winston liked, and there were even more that she had never seen before. She guessed they were probably what the mysterious Ethan Winston liked.
"Why isn't Ethan Winston here?"
"Hehe, you two brothers have a really good relationship. The little rascal is still sleeping. I've already sent someone to wake him up," George Winston said with a loving face.
Rachel Saintclair thought that George Winston really doted on this brother - in - law. His brother had been here for so long, and he still couldn't bear to disturb his sleep.
Thinking like this, she became even more curious. What kind of person could be so loved by everyone?
"Rachel, it's been a long time since you came. You look much thinner. Has this kid been bullying you?" Amelia Winston said with a smile, looking at Rachel Saintclair.
Rachel Saintclair gave Leonard Winston a reproachful look. "Grandma, you see he looks so upright, but he's really good at bullying people in a hidden way."
George Winston laughed. "If this kid bullies you, just tell grandpa. Grandpa will stand up for you!"
Although George Winston knew very well that Leonard Winston married Rachel Saintclair for the shares of Winston Group in his hands, he really liked Rachel Saintclair from the bottom of his heart. He also hoped that Leonard Winston could sincerely accept Rachel Saintclair. Of course, he didn't know about the contract between them.
"Ah, have you all started eating? I'm really sorry. I slept through." A voice with the laziness of just waking up and a bit of distress came from behind, getting closer.
Rachel Saintclair was curious when she heard this voice. Why did it seem so familiar?
"Brother, have you been here long? Eh? Who is this beautiful lady?"
Before the words were finished, a handsome face appeared in front of Rachel Saintclair.
Both of them had their pupils dilated and mouths opened wide in surprise, and their reactions were surprisingly consistent.
"It's you?"
"It's you!"
Even the exclamations were in unison.
Rachel Saintclair thought to herself that the world was really small. It turned out that this handsome and mysterious brother - in - law was actually the passer - by she stopped on the road to take a set of clothing sample photos!
