"How could that be?" Martha answered with a smile, then leaned in close to Melissa and said, "Why
don't you bring your future son-in-law home now?"
Before Melissa could react, Martha's voice rang out again. "Don't worry, when he marries your
daughter, they'll have a house and car. I'll take care of it."
"After they get married and move out, I won't interfere with their lives. He can even live with my
daughter at your house," Martha added mischievously while winking at her friend.
Melissa was stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality with widened eyes.
"I feel like there's some ulterior motive behind what you're saying but it doesn't seem like there's any
problem," she said hesitantly.
"Is there any problem?" Martha blinked innocently at Melissa.
Just then two men approached from nearby - Stefan walking ahead while gazing fondly at Martha and
Eden following closely behind him.
"What are you guys talking about that has you laughing so happily?" Stefan asked as his lips curled up
slightly.
"We're talking about Jimmy becoming Melissa's son-in-law in the future," replied Martha with a wink
and an impish grin on her face.
Eden sitting next to Melissa heard this and his expression darkened immediately. His daughter wasn't
even born yet but someone was already thinking about marrying her off?
As he brooded over this unpleasant thought, Melissa turned to him thoughtfully before hesitatingly
repeating what she had just told Martha earlier:
"Martha says we can bring Jimmy home as our son-in-law right now. And later on when they get
married she will buy them a car and house without interfering in their lives - being the perfect mother-in-
law."
"Yeah! I've made myself clear enough already; why are you still hesitating?" added Martha gleefully as
she looked into Melissa's eyes which were shining brightly now too - obviously pleased by all this talk
of weddings!
But Eden shook his head firmly. "No way."
"Why not?" asked an incredulous-looking Melissa who couldn't understand why anyone would refuse
such an offer! Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Eden rubbed his temples tiredly before explaining, "We're still in our honeymoon period right now;
having another child around would make things more difficult."
"Besides, Jimmy is so shrewd. What if... what if he finds out something? It would be so embarrassing.
Also, we're not sure whether we'll have a baby girl," Eden said, grasping his wife's hand as he spoke.
Melissa suddenly realized this and exclaimed, "That's right! We might not even have a daughter."
Stefan and Martha smiled at each other as they listened to the conversation.
Time flew by quickly and before they knew it, a week had passed. Melissa and Eden spent their time
exploring all the sights in the city while Stefan and Martha stayed with Jimmy in the hospital. One
managed his company affairs online while the other painted beside him to pass the time.
One morning, Melissa burst into Jimmy's room excitedly, calling for Martha.
"Martha!"
"What is it?" asked Martha curiously as she paused her breakfast to look at Melissa.
"Do you remember my favorite band from college - KB?"
"Yes," replied Martha with a knowing smile on her face. She had guessed what was coming next -
either KB was touring or there was an upcoming event that they were attending together.
Melissa continued excitedly without waiting for an answer, "KB is going to perform here soon! Will you
come watch them with me?"
Martha felt like she had seen this scene before; it was familiar somehow. She realized that Melissa was
using her usual tactics of persuasion when she added in a pleading tone: "You know how much I love
KB from college days! Please come watch them with me."
The sound of Melissa's voice echoed through the hospital room leaving no doubt about how much this
meant to her.
She knew why she felt so familiar with this scene! When Melissa persuaded her to see the male model
performance, she said the same thing!
