Chapter 249 First Choice for Daughter-in-Law

Upon hearing this, a glint flickered in Harry's eyes.

"He's not going to be back that fast, but I've already sent him the location."

Aylin's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "What could be more important than welcoming you and helping you settle in? What business does he have in the racing club that takes so long?"

Robert is not the kind of person who has trouble prioritizing. Even if he's extremely busy, he would always make time to visit his family who traveled a long way to see him.

What's going on today?

At this moment, Deli Restaurant was bustling during the peak dining hours.

On the stage, graceful young women dressed in traditional costumes performed. The moonlight shone while the wind gently swayed the sheer curtains. Dining there offered a triple delight for the senses, for it was a feast for the ears, eyes, and taste buds.

That day, Haleigh arranged to have dinner with Jacquelyn at this place.

"Wow, there are so many people. I've been standing in line for so long that my legs are starting to hurt," Haleigh grumbled as she walked through the door.

Jacquelyn gracefully sat down. "But I think it's worth it. The piece being played on stage is quite good. If I'm not mistaken, it's a famous work by a Texas composer, and it's quite challenging to play too." Jacquelyn took her seat elegantly, showing no signs of impatience from waiting in line.

"That's right, and I heard that the food at this restaurant is quite authentic too," Haleigh said as she took a seat, a satisfied smile on her face.

Actually, Haleigh couldn't understand what she was talking about.

However, Haleigh was also very satisfied with Jacquelyn's talent and knowledge, for it made her a very presentable daughter-in-law.

"What would you like to eat today?" Haleigh asked.

Jacquelyn elegantly flipped open the menu, her eyes lighting up. "Fresh abalone and sea bass are best when steamed to preserve their natural flavors.

This restaurant has quite a rich variety of seafood dishes, and they seem to be quite professional in their preparation."

As she spoke, she looked around at the elegant and luxurious decorations. The tablecloth even had a subtle bamboo leaf pattern, and the redwood chairs were all meticulously crafted.

"I would really like to get to know the owner of this restaurant. If I had the chance to discuss cooking techniques with them, that would be fantastic."

Upon hearing this, Haleigh was overjoyed. "You enjoy cooking?"

Jacquelyn smiled slightly. "Of course. I think the kitchen is a very warm and cozy place as it is full of the joys of life."

Haleigh's heart leaped with joy.

As Jacquelyn was able to cook, Haleigh could even save on having a helper at home to prepare meals!

The more Haleigh looked at Jacquelyn, the more satisfied she became. With a tall and slender figure, wide hips, and a healthy appearance, Jacquelyn was quite attractive. Moreover, Jacquelyn had studied abroad and possessed excellent culinary skills.

She was simply the perfect daughter-in-law candidate in her eyes!

"I noticed your social media posts lately. It seems like you've been really busy?"

Jacquelyn nodded gracefully. "Yes. I've been helping out at my father's company. I just took over some projects, so it's been quite busy lately."/

It was only then that Haleigh remembered she still didn't know what Jacquelyn's family did for a living. Previously, Haleigh had been so engrossed in playing poker with Riley Wescott that she hadn't really asked about their background.

"What does your father's company do?"

"Nirvana Filmworks."

Haleigh's eyes widened instantly. "Isn't that New York's second largest production company? I heard they're amazing and have produced quite a few hit shows."

"It's pretty good I guess."

Jacquelyn spoke as casually as if discussing the weather, her smile modest. "My father loves movies, and his investment choices have been pretty good. Last year's Galaxy Part.2, as well as the New Year releases Dual Moonwalk and Escape The Slaves, were all projects he invested in. I hope Mrs. Delacruz won't laugh at them."

This isn't funny at all. This is incredibly impressive!

Haleigh slapped her thigh in excitement and said, "I really love these movies. I've watched them twice! I can't believe your family invested in and participated in their production. Your father has great taste and a keen sense of aesthetics!"""

"Not at all, Mrs. Delacruz, you flatter me."

Haleigh's heart blossomed with joy. The more she looked at Jacquelyn, the more pleasing she found her, already ranking her as the top choice for a daughter-in-law.

Jacq, you're being too modest! It's hard to replace a girl like you these days, who is not only well-educated and elegant, but also virtuous and wise!

Our dear Gavyn, what he really needs is someone as delightful as you by his side.

Please don't think that he's hostile. He's actually a warm-hearted person with

an indifferent outlook. He's been busy with work and doesn't have much experience in dating, that's why he seems aloof."

Jacquelyn thought of the exclusive secret she knew, as well as the man's handsome side profile and his considerate nature, causing her heart to flutter like a little deer.

"I understand."

Upon hearing Jacquelyn agreeing with her, Haleigh felt even more confident. "Exactly! He's so young and already managing the entire Delacruz Group. I'm not exaggerating when I say that there aren't many people his age in New York who can achieve this!"

She enthusiastically grabbed Jacquelyn's hand. "You'll see once you get to know him better. He's not only ambitious but also knows how to take care of others!"

Indeed, only a well-bred young lady could cultivate such delicate grace, unlike that Aylin, who is rough and clumsy. One glance at her and you can tell she's destined for a life of toil and hardship!

There was still Laila.

However, Haleigh had long ago defined her as worthless junk and completely forgotten her.

Upon hearing this, Jacquelyn frowned. "But last time..."

Haleigh quickly explained, "I've already scolded him severely for his rudeness last time. He's just too ambitious and got carried away from how busy he was. Actually, he's told me privately that he's quite satisfied with you!"

Jacquelyn's ears turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.

I knew Mr. Delacruz would be satisfied!

I'm the most outstanding woman he had ever met in terms of knowledge and ability. How could he possibly not be attracted to me?

Jacquelyn picked up the pen and ordered a few light dishes, along with a sea bass stew.

Haleigh chatted with her casually and intermittently.

"Jacq, does your company have any new movies coming up? Give us a little sneak peek, please."

"There is one."

Jacquelyn became a bit excited as she spoke. "This time, my father invested in a Hollywood movie that's going to be filmed in Sweden. Can you guess who they've invited to star in it?" Haleigh's curiosity was piqued, "Who is it?"

"Harry Gardner!"

Upon hearing this, Haleigh's eyes widened instantly. "You mean that... that..."

"Yes. It's the young best actor."

Harry rose to fame with his stunning looks and exceptional acting talent. He believed in quality over quantity when it came to his work, and though he didn't act often, every performance was guaranteed to leave the audience in awe.

Every movie he stared was a hit in is the box office.

Harry Gardner's name alone guaranteed box office success. Coupled with his handsome looks and superb acting skills, he had long been a sought-after talent by renowned directors both domestically and internationally!

If this collaboration turned out to be successful, it would be a great achievement for Nirvana Filmworks.

It would be a leap in quality for them.

"Oh my goodness. Your family is so impressive! How did you manage to invite him?"

Haleigh was extremely excited, her smile wide. "I love him so much! I've watched every single one of his movies. That young man is so handsome! Just like my Gavyn, so charming and likable!" Jacquelyn covered her mouth and chuckled. "It seems that Mrs. Delacruz and I- have the same taste."

Once again, Haleigh's mind was filled with the image of Harry's incredibly handsome face. Then, she clasped her hands together, full of anticipation.

"It would be great to get his autograph, but unfortunately, he's always abroad and never reveals his whereabouts."

Jacquelyn gave a proud and aloof smile.

"What's so difficult about that? After we collaborate with him, I'll get him to sign one and bring it back for Mrs. Delacruz!
