Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 589: Temporary Separation

"There’s no need to give me time, a week is too long, can we make it four days?"

"No way."

The two of them were bargaining, and Nora Northwood made a "seven" gesture with her hand to strengthen her resolve.

After all, meeting the parents is a big deal, and the original plan shouldn’t be changed lightly, or she’d seem too impulsive.

In the end, Jasper Sinclair couldn’t out-negotiate her.

Meanwhile.

Rhys Linden took Yvonne Winslow back to The Garrison Compound, to formally meet his parents once.

Their relationship, without exaggeration, was progressing "at lightning speed," and Nora once wondered if the next step was for them to get married because of a baby.

At first.

Yvonne expected Rhys Linden’s parents to have the same temperament as him, but it turned out, she was totally wrong.

Before they even reached the gate of The Garrison Compound, they saw people in guard uniforms standing watch.

When had a young lady ever seen such a scene? It’s not something the deceit of the business world could compare to!

Instantly, Yvonne was frightened.

In Rhys’s impression, she was always assured of success, never had he seen her at a loss, so he couldn’t help but tease her a bit: "If you ever leave me for someone else, I’ll have these guards break his legs."

"Can’t spit out a pleasant word, can you?"

After spending so much time together, Yvonne felt her speech and behavior had become much rougher, and she blamed it all on Rhys.

"Don’t you know me by now? I just bend over, and you know whether it’s going to smell nice or not!"

"Watch your language, be a bit more civilized."

Unknowingly, Yvonne’s nervousness faded away quite a bit until they stopped at the door, and Rhys gave her a serious reminder.

"My parents’ personalities are the opposite of mine, don’t take it to heart if they aren’t too warm with you."

It would’ve been better not to say anything, because saying it made her even more anxious, and the nerves that had dissipated came rushing back.

Seeing this, Rhys added, "They grew up in The Garrison Compound, everything’s by the book, you’ll be their type, so don’t overthink it."

When the doorbell rang, he held Rhys’s hand, gripping tightly, afraid of losing his hold.

In fact, his inner anxiety was no less than Yvonne’s, but he couldn’t show it and could only release it in this way.

So, he tightened his grip a little more.

"Rhys, you’re hurting me," Yvonne said, feeling a bit of pain.

"I’ll loosen up."

After entering, the Linden parents personally hosted their future daughter-in-law.

Yvonne found that things weren’t entirely as Rhys had described.

His parents didn’t smile much, but their etiquette in hosting guests was impeccable, clearly showing that the couple must be very particular in their daily lives.

The elders didn’t ask too many personal questions; after all, it was the first meeting, they wanted to see if they got along before discussing further matters.

The only question Mrs. Linden asked was, "What’s your zodiac sign?"

"Tiger."

The conversation mainly took the form of questions and answers, and time passed relatively quickly.

Yvonne couldn’t quite gauge the elders’ attitude and thought to herself: Rhys’s personality didn’t inherit a bit from his parents.

Overall, the first impression left on both sides was extremely good.

Walking out of the compound, Yvonne still felt dazed.

Counting on her fingers, she realized she and Rhys had only really been together for less than half a year, how did they get to the point of meeting the parents?

Rhys saw her lost in thought and asked what she was thinking.

She truthfully told him and added a few more words: "At first sight, meeting you, I thought, you must be a rich playboy born into a wealthy family."
