S21 8. Mother In-Law

“Hello, my daughter-in-law.”

As Melanie walked over, Kara smiled. Her head nodded awkwardly. ”

Hello…, Mom.”

Kara’s tongue tasted bitter. When Melanie arrived in front of her, she almost stepped back. Her mother-in-law’s gaze was like a murderer.

“Sorry I didn’t attend your wedding. I didn’t get any news at that time.” Melanie raised an eyebrow.

The curve of Kara’s lips froze. After a moment of silence, she nodded.

“It’s okay, Mom. It was our fault that we missed you from the

Melanie’s cheeks twitched slightly. She didn’t expect her daughter-in-

law to dare answer like that.

“I’ve always wondered what it would be like to chat with my daughter- in-law. Do you have time? How about we chat outside?”

The invitation sounded like a challenge. Kara accepted it with a small nod even though her heart was pounding violently.

“Would you like something to drink, Mom? Tea, perhaps?” Kara took out her cell phone, preparing to send a message to Nora.

“When did you first meet my son?” Melanie threw a new question. While Kara was stunned, she added, “I really can’t wait to find out how my son fell in love with you.”

Kara blinked for a moment. Knowing her mother-in-law’s true. intention, she lowered her phone and straightened her back.

“We met by accident.”

Melanie suddenly covered her mouth with one hand. “So, the incident was true? I think the media is exaggerating to bring Frank down. So, my son married you because he was forced to? For the sake of your children?”

Kara took a deep breath. Her face looked firm.
