Most importantly, Mrs. Lee mentioned Taylor took a girl out to buy muffins.
These things didn’t add up. Her son would never do such a thing; it would be too embarrassing. She knew her own son better than anyone else. After all, her son was into tall, busty celebrities and models, who wouldn’t typically be found grocery shopping.
Taylor’s previous girlfriends never caught Carrie’s eye. She wasn’t fond of the entertainment industry, so she never asked Taylor to bring any girlfriends home for her to meet. But asking him to bring Leonora home was a first.
When she adamantly claimed the person couldn't possibly be Taylor, she was shown a high-definition photo that left her speechless. Carrie was shocked when she saw the photo, unable to speak. She had never expected that the person accompanying the young lady to the supermarket was indeed her son, without a doubt. So she called Taylor home that afternoon to ask him about it in person.
Moreover, as she scrutinized the photo at home for several hours, she realized that this girl was different from his usual type, not from the entertainment circle, and Mrs. Lee had captured her stunningly well in a casual photo. More importantly, when she looked at the girl's photos, she felt that she was a perfect match for her son. Although the girl looked modest and easy to bully, she could strongly sense that this girl could firmly grasp her son's heart. She wouldn't need to resort to any schemes; her son would listen to her. If she told her son to go east, he would never go west. From the way her son looked at her, she could see everything about their future. She knew her own son best. The Ferguson family was indeed missing someone who could firmly hold their son, so she was determined to meet this girl and have Taylor marry her.
For years, she had been eager to have grandchildren, especially seeing the Nelson family's grandchildren arriving one after another, soon to have four, which made her incredibly envious. Moreover, before even meeting the girl from the supermarket, she had already taken a liking to her.
When Carrie handed her phone to Taylor, he seriously fibbed, "Just a friend." When accompanying Leonora to the supermarket, Taylor was prepared for the possibility of being discovered, as he had never intended to hide Leonora. It was Leonora who didn't want to go public. After all, he had always been open about his relationships.
Seeing his mother's eagerness for him to settle down, Taylor didn't want to say much. With Taylor's understatement, Carrie's expression darkened: "Keep making up stories, go on." Without giving Taylor a chance to speak, Carrie continued, "A friend? Which friend have you ever gone shopping with? It's been quiet for two years, so you were in a secret relationship."
"I see this girl as a decent, honest child. Bring her home this Saturday! Then we'll see when it's a good time, and your father and I will formally ask for her hand in marriage." Carrie didn't need to ask Taylor; she knew this girl must be something special. Since Taylor was clever from a young age, he could clearly differentiate which women were for fun and which could be brought home as a wife. Just the fact that he took this girl grocery shopping told Carrie he was serious. Otherwise, for a casual fling, he wouldn’t spend his time and energy on such meaningless things; spending money would suffice.
At Carrie's arrangement, Taylor stopped eating and looked up at his mother, "Mom, stop making a fuss. I haven't thought about marriage, and you and dad wouldn't agree with her, so let's drop the subject." Hearing Taylor's words, Carrie was displeased.
