The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

“That’s not right, Francine! Shouldn’t you be angry with your daughter-in-law for being so lazy?”

“I don’t see any reason to get angry,” said Francine in a considerate tone as she took a sip of her tea. “If the young couple wants to sleep, then let them. It’s perfectly natural that they’re especially affectionate with each other. I don’t see any problem in letting them roll around in bed for a while anyway.”

“But that’s nonsense!” one of Stefan’s aunts argued indignantly. “She’s a member of a respectable family now, and she should learn to act like it! All of us who married into the Hunt family know this! We make sure that we’re elegant, dignified, graceful, and courteous at all times—the basic qualities that the wife of an affluent man should…”

“My daughter-in-law doesn’t need any of these qualities,” Francine interrupted. “All she needs to do is to spend the rest of her life happily with my son.”

“You may be able to accept this, Francine, but what about Stefan? Can he endure having such a wife? The Stefan that I remember is an austere and disciplined man. Never once in his whole life has he ever overslept! It seems that this woman is a bad influence on him!”

“Well,” Francine shrugged helplessly, “what can I do? Stefan finally and painstakingly managed to pull his precious wife back to him, so it’s only natural he pampers and indulges her. In fact, I’m sure he’d even oblige if she wanted to sleep till dusk, let alone sleep a little longer than usual!”

Francine had just discovered that her son was an obliging husband who lived completely under his wife’s thumb. He would do anything his wife wanted, getting it for her no matter what it was. If his wife had wanted the moon, she was sure Stefan would leap into a spaceship immediately so he could bring the moon down to her.
