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.

“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.”

“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.
