#205 “He Threatens Us.”

Caroline couldn’t contain her excitement at the prospect of welcoming Sophia and Alexander into her home. Ever since learning of Sophia’s acceptance of the bracelet, Caroline’s joy knew no bounds. She took great pride in her son for winning Sophia’s heart, eagerly anticipating the day when Sophia would officially become her daughter-in-law. However, she was mindful not to impose her desires on the young couple.

As the doorbell chimed, Caroline rushed to answer it, greeted by the heartwarming sight of Sophia and Alexander embracing. Alexander’s genuine smile further warmed her heart, reaffirming her belief that there could be no greater reward for a mother.

“Come in, I’ve been eagerly awaiting you two,” she welcomed them warmly.

Sophia reciprocated the embrace, planting kisses on both of Caroline’s cheeks. Caroline’s gaze fell upon the bracelet adorning Sophia’s wrist, filling her with a deep sense of satisfaction.

“We’re so happy to see you too,” Sophia responded.

Caroline ushered them into the dining room, where she had prepared a delicious meal. While cooking wasn’t her usual forte, she had found newfound joy in preparing meals for her cherished guests, especially given their increasing frequency of visits.

“So, what’s new in your lives?”

Caroline initiated the conversation.

“My best friend just got engaged,” Sophia replied cheerfully. “I’m over the moon for her.”

Caroline stole a quick glance at Alexander, who smiled in understanding. He subtly gestured to his mother, indicating his own intentions to propose soon.

“That’s wonderful news. She deserves all the happiness,” Caroline remarked as she served them salad. “And Kyle sounds like a fine young man.”

“Also…” Alexander interjected with a grin, “Sophia and I have moved in together.”
