Mrs. Scott wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Awkwardly, she uttered, “Mr. Larson, I’m really sorry for making a fool in front of you.”

Mrs. Larson frowned. “I don’t think Carter is willing to marry my daughter.”

Mrs. Scott smiled. ”Laura, stop joking. Carter is just shy. I will talk to him later. They will get engaged. Even if they had a conflict, they would still get married.”

Mrs. Larson pretentiously flicked at the dust on her body before she spoke. “Faye, you and I have known each other for twenty to thirty years. Although our family has been abroad these years, we still keep in touch. Thus, our relationship has never faded. I thought you had already talked to Carter about the engagement. You have disgraced us by putting us in such an awkward situation.”

Mrs. Scott responded with a smile. “Laura, it’s my fault. Don’t worry, Jennifer is so gorgeous and considerate. Sooner or later, Carter will fall in love with her. Don’t you have confidence in your daughter?”

Every parent liked their children to be praised. Hearing Mrs. Scott’s praises, Mrs. Larson was exuberant as if she was the one being praised.

“Faye, you are right about that. The only weakness of Jennifer is that she is impeccable. Lots of men adore and pursue her. But ever since she saw the photos of Carter, she made a fuss about coming back. To her, Carter is her ideal Prince Charming. My daughter likes him, and you also intend for them to get married. This is why I brought her back. Faye, don’t let me down.”

Mrs. Scott smiled and assured, “Laura, don’t worry, I want Jennifer as my daughter-in-law.”

“Faye, I’m taking you for your word.” Mrs. Scott expressed, “I think Carter was angry only because he was kept in the dark. We will leave now. We will pay a visit again when Carter has figured it out.”

“That’s great. I’ll walk you to the door.”

Mrs. Scott sent them to the gate and reassured them lovingly, “Jennifer, don’t think too much. You’re so gentle and nice. It’s Carter’s blessing and honor to be able to marry you.”

Jennifer smiled softly. “Mrs. Scott, I believe that Carter and I will be a couple. Even if he has someone in his heart now, I believe he will eventually see my good side. We still have a lot of time. I can wait.”

Mrs. Scott became even more satisfied. “Jennifer, I like your sensibility. Don’t worry. You are the daughter-in-law of the Scotts. I will never approve of others.”

A flash of smugness flashed in Jennifer’s eyes as she grinned. “Mrs. Scott, I’m relieved to hear that. Please go in and rest well.”

“Bye. Have a good night.” Mrs. Scott smiled, “Jennifer, come over during the weekend, and I will take you shopping. I saw a pair of beautiful shoes a couple of days ago. I think you will like it. Let’s go and try. I will buy it for you.”

Jennifer enthusiastically wrapped her arms around Mrs. Scott. “Oh, Mrs. Scott, what should I do? I like you more and more. I wish you are my mother-in-law now.”
