Chapter 289 Meeting Grandma Claire for the First Time
Whether or not to recognize the identity of Young Master Wood Ciao is impossible with Therese's identity. Claire is the head of the La Torrea family.
The guard of the Latorrea family dared to directly call Wood "Master Cousin", and it was obvious that he had received instructions from someone before.
Now that people have arrived at the door of La Torrea's house, and with Therese's pushing, Wood was finally half-pushed into La Torrea's mansion.
Before entering the mansion, Wood met his mother Claire for the first time because Therese was worried.
Therefore, he was worried that some of Wood's behaviors would make his mother unhappy, so he kept educating Wood about his mother's nature, likes and dislikes along the way.
From Therese's description, Wood also roughly understood what kind of person his grandmother, whom he had never met, was like.
Normally, Claire La Torreya would either go to the palace at this time or deal with family affairs at home, but today, she suddenly ran to the backyard to drink black tea in a graceful manner.
Therese, who originally took Wood to the backyard and prepared to give him some bad advice about her mother's preferences, was stunned when she saw her mother sitting dignifiedly in the backyard drinking tea.
She wasn't fully prepared yet, so why did she "encounter" her mother by chance?
Logically speaking, drinking black tea in the backyard is not a strange thing, but this is her mother, Claire La Torreya. Shouldn't the old woman be a workaholic? When did she have such leisure time?
"Therese, if I remember correctly, it should still be the working hours of the Temple Knights. Can you tell me why you are here now?"
Claire held a red tea cup in one hand and sat upright with a dignified body. Even in her rare free time, she was meticulous in her words and deeds.
Therese's character should have been quite out-of-the-box and active, but at this moment, under Claire's majestic eyes, she felt as if she had given up...
After first suppressing Therese who skipped work with her majestic gaze, Claire then shifted her gaze to Wood.
And after staying for quite a long time, he finally turned back to Therese, obviously waiting for the other party to give him an explanation.
However, just when Therese had a bitter look on her face and she had not yet organized her words and didn't know how to speak, Wood beside her took the initiative to introduce himself.
"First time meeting, Lady Claire, my name is Wood Graylat, my mother is Senise Graylat, and my father is Paul Graylat.
I am the second son in the family, and I am here to greet you on behalf of my mother. It is really rude to come to visit you without permission.
This is a gift that my mother asked me to bring, and I hope Lady Claire will accept it."
Looking at Wood next to her, after a lengthy apology, and then an extremely standard aristocratic etiquette, Therese was completely stunned.
She hadn't yet sorted out her language, how to introduce Wood to her mother, but her little nephew had actually completed a set of perfect aristocratic etiquette.
And whether it was the wording or the gestures in the salute, Therese couldn't find even a single fault.
No, it should be said that Therese even thought that Wood's actions just now were more standardized than the teacher who taught her court etiquette.
Even when Wood took out the beautifully wrapped gift, Therese was even more confused. She didn't even know when Wood had prepared the gift!
"Greylat? Is this the person she chose?
If she knew she was wrong, why didn't she choose to come in person this time instead of asking you to come? Does she still want me as a mother in her eyes?"
When she heard what Wood said, the black tea cup in Claire's hand suddenly broke into pieces with a "bang" sound, and all the black tea in the cup poured onto Claire's blue dress.
But the other party didn't pay attention, but still stared at Wood in front of him with a compelling gaze.
Seeing her angry mother, Therese on the side was obviously panicked. The script she originally arranged should not be like this.
But because the incident happened suddenly, before she even started to perform, the drama went off in a direction she didn't expect.
However, compared to the panicked Therese, although Wood also had a panic expression on his face at this moment, he was actually feeling more stable inside.
With his ability to sense and control magic, he was able to clearly capture the trajectory of Claire's use of magic just now.
In other words, the reason why the cup in the opponent's hand shattered was not because of his anger that caused the magic power to go crazy, but because Claire did it deliberately.
According to What Therese said before, her grandmother should be a stubborn, strong-willed person who values appearance and has extremely high demands on everyone, including herself.
Wood's polite words and deeds before actually gave Claire a lot of favorability points.
Coupled with the guilt that Claire has felt towards Senise over the years, in fact, Claire should have forgiven her daughter in her heart, otherwise she would not have acquiesced in the guard calling Wood "Master Cousin".
As for why Claire acted so angry, Wood guessed that the other party couldn't lose face, so she had to find a way to get off the stage.
After all, if someone with such a stubborn and strong character forgives Senis lightly, then where will her face as a mother go?
And the fact was exactly as Wood expected, after Claire lost her temper, she left on the pretext of changing her clothes.
During this period, she had no intention of driving Wood away, and even asked Wood to wait here for her return, and then she would tell Wood the rules of the Latorrea family.
Therese was really confused, because a second ago she found her mother, who seemed extremely angry, and almost kicked Wood out on the spot.
But I didn't expect that in the end, there would be loud thunder but little rain. And from what Claire just said, it was not difficult to tell that her mother seemed to be planning to keep Wood at Latorea's house?
Wood and Therese didn't wait long before Claire changed into a long dress again and appeared in front of them dignifiedly.
And her cold and serious expression made it completely impossible to tell that she was the same person as the angry one just now.
"Wood Graylat, although I don't know what kind of person your father is, it seems that although Senis is an unfilial daughter who does not respect her elders, she has raised you quite well.
Senis was trained by me in the past and was known as the "benchmark of rich ladies" in the royal capital. However, in terms of etiquette and aristocratic style, I think you are better than your mother.
Regarding your situation, I actually learned something about it before. In addition to excellent noble etiquette, you seem to be an excellent warrior.
Then let me see if your strength is as good as your other aspects."
