Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 252

Indubitably, what Maya said didn’t actually happen. She was aware that Madeline had no way of approaching Quentin, so she persisted with her lie. “Of course! Would I joke about such a thing?”

Madeline cackled. “I know you wouldn’t. Like I said, our Maya’s a smart, kind, beautiful, and generous girl! There’s not another person in the entire Athesea that could match up with your perfection, and you’ve proved that today. I trust my instinct about you. Don’t forget that I’m still waiting for you to get married with Alex, okay? I can’t wait to have you as my daughter-in-law!”

Feeling somewhat bashful, Maya turned to Alexander’s direction. “Well, I won’t mind if he doesn’t…”

Madeline was highly impressed by Maya. She thought that anyone that deserved to marry her son should at least have a solid family background and the capability to lead the Griffiths’ businesses to success. As for Elise, she had been disdaining her all this while; she could never find it in herself to accept her.

“It’s okay. I know what you’re thinking. Come, let’s go see Alex.”

Meanwhile, Alex fetched some tidbits over to Elise, who found herself feeling relieved after eating some dessert. At that moment, Madeline brought Maya over and said, “Alex, go dance with Maya when the banquet starts.”

Disregarding her words, Alexander had his full attention on Elise. “Do you like this one? Do you want more?”

“No, thanks,” Elise answered.

Then, the man withdrew his gaze and said, “Sorry, I’ll only dance with my fiancée.”

Ignoring his answer, Madeline countered, “Elise wouldn’t know how to dance. You’re gonna make a fool out of her if you bring her onto the dance floor. Maya, on the other hand, has learned various styles of ballroom dances, and she’d mastered every single genre of them, so bring her. You’ll surely impress everyone.”

Alexander was upset by his mother’s condescending words toward Elise.
