Submitting to My Lycan Prince Mate

89 Maria's plan

Maria's POV

"Yes, Andy, you have to accompany that young woman from the Blue Moon pack to tonight's ball, there's no negotiation."

Watching Andy's reluctant expression, I added a hint of warning to my tone, "Do you understand?"

"Yes, Maria." Andy almost rolled his eyes as he replied, "I'll be a good escort."

"Good or bad, I don't care, that's something the foolish girl needs to consider."

I waved my hand dismissively, until my assistant briskly approached me.

"Your Highness, there's a Miss claiming to be from the Blue Moon pack outside and wishes to see you."

"Bring her in," I ordered promptly.

"Yes."

The assistant soon ushered in a lavishly dressed Cathy. She wore the gown I had chosen for her that day, her face adorned with extravagant makeup, her hair piled high, looking like a giant walking mop.

Clearly, I wasn't the only one disgusted by Cathy's ostentatious attire.

Standing behind me, Andy couldn't help but emit a disgusted sound under his breath, "Eww."But this foolish woman still had her uses.

So, I shot Andy a warning glance, then suppressed the urge to mock, putting on a gentle smile and warmly welcoming Cathy.

"Finally, you're here, dear. You look absolutely radiant today!"

"Thank you."

My praise made Cathy shyly lower her head, but I couldn't tell if the hint of red on her face was due to shyness or excessive blush. What was more unbearable was the heavy scent of her cheap perfume. I discreetly took a few steps back to avoid being tainted by it.

"Since we last met, I've been wanting to invite you over to my house. But you know, Chris is still young and can't be away from me for long, so forgive me for not contacting you again."

"Oh, you're too kind," Cathy said, visibly touched, her voice trembling slightly, "If you need any help, you can contact me anytime. Although I haven't dealt with children before, I believe I can get along well with Chris."

Ha, this foolish woman actually took my polite words seriously.

Wanting to get close to my only son? This girl was even more foolish and naive than I imagined.I chuckled inwardly, keeping a straight face.

"How could I have you take care of Chris? That's the nanny's job. But if you really want to help... I heard Claire seems a bit nervous about tonight's ball. You're her sister, I think it's best for you to comfort her."
