Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Xyla Quest and Annabeth Cates exchanged amused glances and smiled upon hearing Sharon Lindt's words.

If they were honest, they both knew perfectly well that they had such good lives because of Sharon as their mother-in-law.

There were countless examples of terrible mothers-in-law around them, so for that reason, the lucky ladies felt particularly grateful toward her.

They thanked God for giving them such a wonderful mother-in-law.

Sharon beamed. "Xyla, Annabeth, is there anything about me that displeases you? If so, please voice it out. I can change."

They shook their heads vehemently at that notion.

"Of course not! You're the best mother-in-law in the world," Annabeth declared.

"I have no complaints, either," Xyla spoke up right after her. "You are such a wonderful person. So is Dad. Your sons are also great men. There is absolutely nothing about this family we'd ever change." Xyla meant every word she said.

She couldn't think of anything the Batton family did that made her feel dissatisfied. No matter how hard she thought about it, nothing came up.
