It was unmistakably evident that Juliet was consumed by fear, a fear that her son's presence would shatter the fragile tranquility she had painstakingly pieced together.

"Mother, my son is about to get married. I came to share the news with you," Ariel announced.

Caught off guard, Juliet echoed, "Your son is getting married?"

"Yes, your grandson is tying the knot! Aren't you excited? Don't you wish to attend his wedding?"

Tears welled up in Juliet's eyes, rendering her speechless. The reality of her grandson's impending matrimony was a stark reminder of her advancing years.

However, she knew Ariel too well. He wouldn't have visited her for such a trivial matter. "You came to escort me to his wedding?"

"Of course," Ariel began, his voice trailing off, "The wedding is scheduled in two months. And as you know, weddings are expensive affairs. There's the car, the house, the dowry, and the banquet. It all adds up." Juliet's suspicions were confirmed, "So, this is a shakedown, isn't it?"
