Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 496 - 269: There’s No One She Can’t Handle (Second Update)

Brooke Osborne was also very surprised. Like Kenneth Osborne, she understood her mother very well.

To get anything out of her hands was truly no easy feat.

And similar to Lawrence Winters, taking a so-called "lucky charm" to make Mom Osborne willingly give up her Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet was something only Lawrence Winters could achieve, from heaven to earth, across the four seas and eight wildernesses.

Brooke Osborne knew the value of that Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet.

As the saying goes, "Gold has a price, jade is priceless," exquisite jade can indeed be extremely valuable.

This Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet had all the qualities: fine texture, pure white like glutinous rice. It gleamed like mutton fat, not a transparent whiteness, but a textured milky white.

It was just like the soft, tender skin of a young woman.

But it didn’t look good on Mom Osborne’s wrist.

Because Mom Osborne was over fifty, her skin wasn’t well-maintained, appearing sallow, loose, and wrinkled. Wearing a lustrous bracelet like mutton fat highlighted her aging skin.

So even though Brooke told her that the Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet was very expensive, she just couldn’t like it.

In Mom Osborne’s mind, the Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet didn’t measure up to her ten-ounce Pure Gold Dragon Bracelet, and certainly not her two-carat diamond ring.

However, on Lawrence Winters’ wrist, the Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet seemed like a perfect match, adding even more beauty.

Her skin was already delicate and flawless, very fair, and the Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet on her wrist even brought out the rare hidden pink tint of the high-quality mutton fat jade.

This is a characteristic of mutton fat jade; the finest kind isn’t purely white but has a base color with a pink luster, so white that it naturally appears pink.

To see if it’s the best quality, a side-by-side comparison will show.

Lawrence Winters immediately fell in love with the Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet, fondling it lovingly and said to Mom Osborne with a bright smile, "Mom Osborne, thank you for the bracelet, I really like it!"

After giving out the bracelet, Mom Osborne felt a bit of heartache, as she had heard from Brooke how particularly expensive it was...

However, seeing Lawrence Winters’ joyful little face, with a special infectious presence, she felt that whatever made her happy was worth it!

Even Mom Osborne was influenced by this emotion and said cheerfully, "As long as you like it, this bracelet is just right for you youngsters! Your skin is really good! Your sister Brooke’s skin is also great, but it doesn’t look as good on her as it does on you."

"Oh really? Mom Osborne, you’re so good with words, I really like you!" Lawrence Winters laughed, hugging Mom Osborne’s arm and swaying it gently, playfully acting cute.

Though Mom Osborne had both a daughter and a son, she never really experienced what it was like for a daughter or son to be so playful and affectionate.

She didn’t like daughters, but since her first child was a daughter, she was always rather aloof towards Brooke Osborne.

From the moment she was aware, Brooke Osborne knew she wasn’t favored by her parents, so she always behaved well and was obedient, afraid of making them angry, never daring to be playful around them.

When Kenneth Osborne came along, even though Mom Osborne adored her son, she was busy with work most of the time, leaving him for Brooke to care for.

By the time Kenneth Osborne could walk and call "Mommy" and "Daddy," his closest person was his seven-year-older sister, Brooke Osborne, and he never acted playfully towards his parents either.

So this time when Lawrence Winters acted playfully towards her, Mom Osborne was surprisingly receptive and felt a lingering intense maternal love in her chest.

She felt her nose twitch; her eyes were almost wet.

"You’re so eloquent, no wonder everyone adores you." Mom Osborne hugged Lawrence Winters, patting her back tenderly, "Now that you’re going to be my daughter-in-law, since you’re engaged, just get married soon. Although Kenneth is busy with work, he must remember to spend time with his wife. We have such a wonderful Lawrence, you mustn’t let her down!"

Lawrence Winters knew there was no one she couldn’t win over, as long as she wanted to.

She cheerfully winked at Kenneth Osborne.

Kenneth Osborne and Brooke Osborne exchanged a glance, both amazed.

After all, knowing Mom Osborne, this truly meant she treated Lawrence Winters like a cherished daughter.

Well, that’s good, there would certainly be no mother-in-law issues in the future. Even if there were, considering Lawrence Winters’ capabilities, Mom Osborne would only want to pamper her, not blame her.

Kenneth Osborne spread his hands in a resigned manner, "Mom, I seem to be your son... Are you throwing your son over the wall now that you have a daughter-in-law?"

Mom Osborne laughed heartily at his words, pointing at him, "Look how flustered you are! What’s wrong with me doting on your wife? Be careful or Lawrence will have you kneeling on a washboard!"
