Chapter 1362: That Depends on My Daughter’s Wishes
Thomas Fisher is determined to wait for Alice Turner to come back, even to the extent that he won’t marry anyone but Alice in this lifetime. However, his mother, Autumn York, is also determined, resolutely refusing to let such a thing happen.
After that day, Autumn York didn’t discuss this matter with Thomas Fisher anymore, but she didn’t give up on it. She just changed her strategy and shifted her efforts towards Athena Linton.
Since the day she noticed Athena Linton’s affection for Thomas Fisher, Autumn York developed the intention to make Athena Linton her daughter-in-law. She was extremely satisfied with both Athena Linton’s family background and Athena herself, and most importantly, Athena liked her son.
How could she not tightly grasp such a perfect daughter-in-law candidate?
Autumn York is a person of action. Whatever she thinks of, she immediately puts into action. She is definitely not someone who drags things out. Having conceived the idea of securing Athena Linton as her daughter-in-law, she began to take the initiative.
To prevent Thomas Fisher from noticing or discovering anything, Autumn York remained highly vigilant during her actions. When she met with Athena Linton, she never went to the company, nor did she invite Athena to her home. They always met outside.
Although Autumn York met with Athena Linton every now and then, she never directly expressed her true intentions. Whenever they went out, it was either shopping, dining, or going to the beauty salon, and they were also regulars at the cinema.
Athena Linton, although unclear about Autumn York’s true thoughts, could more or less sense something after meeting her often, which was exactly what she hoped to see.
Finding no suitable breakthrough from him, she decided to go with the flow and find a breakthrough from his mother. She surely wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity.
Both had aligned goals, shared sentiments, and were working towards the same aim.
The contact between Autumn York and Athena Linton later became more frequent, no longer just a one-sided effort from Autumn. Athena also began to actively contact Autumn, sometimes both reached out at the same time.
As their interactions increased, they became more familiar with each other, and their relationship grew closer. When they were together, anyone unaware of the situation might think they were mother and daughter.
"Your daughter looks beautiful in this dress."
Upon hearing the waiter speak to Autumn York, Athena Linton, who was standing in front of the mirror, instinctively turned to look at the two of them. Unexpectedly, Autumn York was looking in her direction too, so Athena quickly turned back to continue admiring herself in the mirror, though now her attention was no longer on the dress.
Autumn York withdrew her gaze from Athena and then shifted it to the waiter beside her, smiling brightly, "I think so too."
In her heart, she already regarded Athena Linton as her daughter-in-law. She had told others before that she would treat her future daughter-in-law as if she were her own daughter.
"Should it be wrapped up or worn right away?" Seeing Autumn York smiling radiantly and Athena Linton especially fond of the dress, the waiter promptly struck while the iron was hot, actively and eagerly inquiring.
Autumn York pointed to Athena Linton standing in front of the mirror and laughed, "That depends on my daughter’s decision."
Buying the dress was a certainty, but whether to wrap it up or wear it right away, she didn’t want to decide. That should be up to the owner of the dress to decide.
