Chapter 251 Beautiful
Even Matthew, who was adept at navigating the corporate world, felt a bit embarrassed. But compared to Madison, who had a flushed face, Matthew truly looked nonchalant. He cleared his throat and calmly asked, "Where's your brother?"
"Big Brother is still looking for the spray. I'll put the mosquito patches in my suitcase first," Hannah said as she ran over and squatted down in front of her suitcase, which was still open on the floor. She took out her little bag, unzipped it, placed the mosquito patches inside, and put the bag back in its original position. Mother had taught her to keep things together, making them easy to find when needed. The little girl remembered it well. Of course, Young Girl had successfully diverted Father Howard's attention.
After properly placing the mosquito patches, Hannah ran back to look for her brother. Madison no longer dared to provoke a certain someone. She held the clothes she had made for Mother Howard in her hands and said, "I'll go check on Mom and Dad and give Mom the clothes to try on."
"Okay," Matthew replied hoarsely. Madison ran out of the room with the clothes, her face still blushing. She couldn't help but cry for help internally. How did she end up like this, easily seduced by Matthew? Just hearing his low and hoarse voice made her blush and her heart race.
Madison, holding the dress she made for her mother, stood outside her parents' room and felt a slight heat on her face. She patted her cheeks and calmed down her heartbeat before knocking on the door. Mother Howard's gentle voice came from inside, "Is it Madison?"
"It's me, Mom. Can I come in?" Madison asked from outside the door. Then she heard hurried footsteps, and the room door quickly opened. "Madison, come in quickly. Did Matthew bring you back so soon? Why didn't I hear the sound of the car? I thought you hadn't come back yet," Mother Howard said, somewhat excited. In the room, two large suitcases were spread out on the floor, indicating that Mom and Dad were packing.
"There were too many things. When they came, they could easily fit everything in one suitcase. But now, it couldn't all fit in two suitcases," Mother Howard said with a smile. Father Howard was unpacking the packaging boxes of the local specialties that Mother Howard had bought. With the boxes, there was no room left. Removing the boxes should free up some space. "If you buy more, we'll need two more suitcases," Father Howard bluntly pointed out. Mother Howard playfully glared at him and didn't get angry, still smiling.
"Mom, if you like these things, I can regularly send them to you in the future," Madison said thoughtfully.
"Madison, my dear, you're the best," Mother Howard asserted even more confidently.
Madison took the gift box in her hands and handed it to Mother Howard, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Mom, I made a dress for you. I'm not sure if you'll like it." After handing over the gift box, Madison's hands trembled slightly as she tightly clasped them together. She felt a little anxious, not knowing if her mother would like it or if it would fit well. She couldn't help but giggle, feeling as nervous as she did when delivering custom orders for the first time.
Madison eagerly watched Mother Howard's reaction. Mother Howard was momentarily stunned, then took the gift box, looked at Madison, and then turned to Father Howard. In Madison's expectant gaze, she opened the box and excitedly pulled out the dress with slightly trembling hands. "Lao He, Madison made this dress for me. Isn't it beautiful?" Mother Howard's eyes were slightly red as she spoke.
Father Howard vigorously nodded his head. "It's beautiful, beautiful."
"Mom, go to the bathroom and try it on. I estimated the size based on the clothes you usually wear. If it's not the right size, we can still make adjustments. There are tools in Villa," Madison urged Mother Howard to change and give it a try quickly.
"It will definitely fit. I can tell it's my size just by looking at it," Mother Howard happily said as she took the dress and walked into the bathroom with a smile. Just as she closed the door, Hank also arrived.
"You're here too?" Hank greeted Madison.
"Hey, I made a dress for Mom. I brought it over for her to try the size," Madison replied with a smile.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Dad, Sis is a designer. I'm sure the clothes she designs are amazing," Hank fiercely defended Madison. To him, anything his sister made was the best.
"Is what you're saying true? Father Howard doesn't know yet, but Madison is really impressive!" Father Howard also praised his daughter without hesitation. Madison was really embarrassed by her father and brother's praise.
At this moment, Mother Howard came out after changing her clothes.
She was wearing a fitted black dress that reached her calves. It was something she would wear on normal occasions, but Madison added some formal elements to the top half of the dress, making it elegant and graceful. Mother Howard had maintained her figure quite well. The black dress made her look slim, and her youthful and graceful demeanor fully showcased her elegance.
Mother Howard confidently turned around in front of everyone and asked with a smile, "How do I look? Do I look good?"
Hank directly gave her a thumbs-up. "Mom, you could participate in a beauty pageant wearing this."
Mother Howard glared at him and smiled, "Who participates in beauty pageants at my age?"
Then she looked at Father Howard and said, "Honey, do you think it looks good? Madison made this dress for me." She was very proud. Father Howard looked at Mother Howard and said, "You look beautiful, and the dress makes you look even better."
Madison smiled. Her dad knew how to speak and had a strong survival instinct.
Madison walked up to Mother Howard and looked around. "I didn't expect my taste to be so accurate. The size is just right." Mrs. He excitedly grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Madison, how did you learn to make clothes? Did you design this dress as well? My Madison is really talented." Then she handed her phone to Hank and said, "Quickly take a picture of Madison and me. I want to post it on social media. I want everyone to know that my daughter personally designed and made this beautiful dress for me."
Madison originally wanted to refuse, but seeing how happy her mom was, she ended up cooperating and took several sets of pictures. How could a child not fulfill their parents' small wishes? Madison thought her dad and brother were already being too over the top, but it turned out her mom was even more dramatic. Her mom would post pictures or short videos of them going out every day on her social media or family group chat, basically live-streaming everything. Every time, Mother Howard used very skillful angles, so none of them showed people's faces directly. This made everyone privately message Father Howard and Hank, asking for normal pictures.
Therefore, when the family pictures were posted today, they immediately received a bunch of likes. Although everyone praised Mother Howard and Madison, the most frequent comment was: Finally, we get to see their faces.
