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.

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.
