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.

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."
