Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy-Chapter 438: Mary Wayde’s Love for Damon Hawke
"Tom, little Sylvia just returned to the country. From now on, let her help you at the Kensington Group."
Andrew King said to Damon Hawke.
"Yes, Tom, you and your cousin were very close in childhood. Please take care of your sister from now on."
Daisy Clarke added in agreement.
Damon Hawke glanced at Mary Wayde.
Mary Wayde was quietly pouring him water. When she met his gaze, she gave a charming smile, "Cousin, is that okay?"
With his father’s request, Damon Hawke had no objections.
So he nodded and hummed in agreement.
The former Netherworld Organization has changed to the Kensington Group.
Due to his identity issues, his focus is now here.
The Kensington Group is expanding and indeed needs manpower.
"Great, cousin, have some water."
Mary Wayde eagerly handed the water to Damon Hawke, saying, "Cousin, do you remember when I was little and mischievous, I took away your mask, which got you beaten by Uncle. I was so scared I had a high fever the next day."
Speaking of that, Damon Hawke could hardly remember.
He only heard from his father that, because his identity had to be kept secret, no matter where he went, his father insisted he wear the mask properly.
"Indeed! Thankfully, there was no serious harm; otherwise, I’d be guilty as charged,"
Andrew King joked.
"Ah, Kyle, it’s a pity we’re cousins. Otherwise, with a kid as good as Damon, I’d really want him as a son-in-law."
Daisy Clarke teased.
Andrew King laughed heartily, taking it as a joke.
Beside him, Vinny Hawke laughed silently.
On the other side, Mary Wayde glanced at Damon Hawke, her eyes flickering.
What about being cousins?
There were numerous cousin marriages in ancient times.
Just when everyone was chatting and laughing, the door opened, and Amelia Miles came in.
Seeing the harmonious scene, she gave a gentle smile, "Mrs. Hawke, Mr. King, honey, you’re hosting a gathering."
The room was indeed lively.
Who were these people worth Vinny Hawke and Andrew King showing up for?
"Elly."
Damon Hawke raised an eyebrow and got up to greet her, "You’re here for dinner too?"
Amelia Miles glanced at him, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile, but there was no laughter in her eyes.
With this look, Damon Hawke, who knew her well, immediately knew she was angry.
Why was she angry?
Was it because she wasn’t invited to dinner?
"Elly, what a coincidence, since you’re here, please join us."
Vinny Hawke saw Amelia Miles and smiled as he introduced, "Let me introduce you, these are Tom’s great-aunt, great-uncle, cousin, and cousin. Sister, brother-in-law, this is Tom’s fiancée, Amelia Miles, and the two of them are set to marry next year."
So these are Andrew King’s relatives.
Amelia Miles understood and then greeted them gracefully, "Hello."
"Hello, hello, so you’re Elly, you look so pretty."
Daisy Clarke was all smiles.
Amelia Miles had a good impression of her and gave her a polite smile.
"Waiter, add a seat, please."
Damon Hawke let Amelia Miles sit in his seat while he stood aside, waiting for the waiter to add a chair.
This conduct was indeed considerate and gentle.
Originally, Mary Wayde sat next to Damon Hawke.
Seeing the usual cold and aloof him being so humble in front of Amelia Miles, she was filled with jealousy.
However, she didn’t show it on her face.
She stood up and gave a gentle smile, "Cousin, please sit first."
Damon Hawke was only gentle with Amelia Miles. He naturally accepted kindness from others.
So he didn’t say anything, just nodded slightly and sat down.
After sitting down, he poured tea and water for Amelia Miles, acting like a flunky.
Mary Wayde saw this and felt even more envious.
How could the esteemed cousin act so submissively to a woman?
The waiter quickly brought a chair, and Mary Wayde sat next to Damon Hawke, watching Amelia Miles leisurely enjoy Damon’s service, squeezing out a smile.
"Sister Elly, I’m Mary Wayde. I’ve heard your story. You’re a great contributor to my cousin’s family. I didn’t expect that at such a young age, you’ve already had two kids. I wish I could be as young after having kids."
This sounded like a compliment on the surface, but digging deeper, it seemed to imply that Amelia Miles secured her marriage to Damon Hawke because of her kids.
And now she was an old woman who’d borne children.
Amelia Miles looked at Mary Wayde’s smiling face with her smile intact.
This woman seemed innocent but had hidden meanings in her words.
Not a simple person!
"Thank you for the compliment, little sister. I look so young because I’m very happy. It’s all thanks to Tom. He keeps me well. Only when someone feels happy can they appear young. Just like Mrs. Hawke; she looks truly youthful, thanks to Mr. King’s good care."
With one sentence, she praised two people.
Vinny Hawke and Andrew King both felt extremely pleased as they listened.
"Elly, you’re so eloquent."
Vinny Hawke took a sip of water, his face full of smiles.
Where was his previous disdain for Amelia Miles?
"I’m just telling the truth."
Amelia Miles smiled sweetly, taking a sip of water as she nonchalantly observed Mary Wayde’s expression.
Mary Wayde barely managed a slight smile, feeling quite discontented inside.
"Oh my, Elly sure can talk. The more I look, the more I like. Look how well she matches with Tom."
Daisy Clarke, being straightforward, looked at Amelia Miles and said, "Elly, your Auntie has a request for you. Among the talented young men you know, are there any good ones? Help my little Sylvia find one. She’s not that young anymore and needs to find a good family, so I can be at ease."
She wanted her to help find a match for Mary Wayde.
Amelia Miles simply chuckled.
She glanced at Mary Wayde and smiled without speaking.
"Mom, I’m still young. Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"
Mary Wayde pouted at Daisy Clarke.
Daisy Clarke laughed, "You’re not that young anymore. If you find a good one, you should pick them."
"I don’t want to get married. But of course, if someone as outstanding as my cousin appears, I might consider it."
Mary Wayde glanced at Damon Hawke beside her, giving a charming smile.
"Oh, you have such high standards. It’s not easy to find someone as excellent as your cousin," Daisy Clarke jibed.
"If I can’t find such a person, I’d rather not marry," Mary Wayde declared.
"This child."
Daisy Clarke gave a helpless smile and said to Vinny Hawke, "Sister-in-law, you and Kyle have good genes to have such an outstanding son. It really makes it hard on others. Look, if I can’t find a man as good as him, I’ll have to take care of this stubborn girl forever."
"There are many good men in the world. Little Sylvia is beautiful and well-educated; she’ll definitely find a good man."
"Thank you for your kind words."
Hearing the chat between the two, Amelia Miles’ eyes moved slightly.
They couldn’t tell, but she could.
Mary Wayde had admiration for Damon Hawke.
But she expressed it very subtly.
Daisy Clarke obviously was pure-hearted.
How did she give birth to such a cunning daughter?
Could it be inherited from her father?
Her gaze fell on the man beside Daisy Clarke.
The man sipped tea with a simple smile, looking quite honest and sincere.
He didn’t seem like a scheming person either.
But not everyone’s character is inherited.
It’s also shaped by the environment.
Mary Wayde had been abroad, likely influenced subtly by her environment.
