"Amy, mom told us to move back. What do you think?" It suddenly occurred to Richard while he was taking a bath. His mother had called him today and asked him about it.
"I don't think it is a good idea." Amy felt very nervous. There were so many people in that family that she was afraid that she would not be able to get along with them.
"Mom said it was Grandpa's idea. Grandpa is going to be eighty years old soon. He really wants to be accompanied by all of us. Forget it. We can just stay here if you don't want to." Richard was a filial man, but he didn’t want to force Amy to move back.
Now Amy was in a dilemma. That was Grandpa's idea. Grandpa would be unhappy if she didn't come back.
Right now she really enjoyed herself living with Richard alone! If she returned, she had to deal with so many people, especially Janice and Sophia.
"It's fine. Don't think about it. You have your reasons. I won't force you." Richard came out of the bathroom and saw that Amy looked so worried.
Men were usually busy earning money to support their families, so they didn't pay attention to the disputes among women. They definitely had no idea how terrifying it was.
Amy thought it over and felt that since Sophia was already living in the mansion, people might talk if she did not come back. Besides, Grandpa and Cathy might feel awkward.
"Let's go back. After all, I am the daughter-in-law of the Carter family." Amy made up her mind. She had to cope with those disputes. She could also try to avoid them if she could not deal with them smoothly.
"How nice you are! I'm gonna kiss you, my darling." Richard secretly hoped that Amy could return with him. He believed that once they moved back, more people would help take care of Amy and grandpa would also be happier, so as to live longer.
After they made the decision, Richard called Cathy and told her to make some preparations. They only took some daily essentials instead of all things since they might come back for vacation.
Knowing this, Cathy was so happy. She finally got someone to talk with at home and she wouldn’t feel lonely anymore.
The day Richard and Amy moved back, the Carters had mixed feelings. Someone got angry, while others were really happy.
"William, I used to help Mom with the housework. Now that Amy is back, she will definitely replace me! She is Mom's real daughter-in-law after all." Sophia started to complain to William.
"Don't worry, honey, your ability is praised by grandpa. No one will take your place." William comforted Sophia.
"When can I get the family heirloom, that jade bracelet from Cathy? If I get it, I will be afraid of nothing." Sophia longed for the jade bracelet very much, but Cathy had never taken it out.
"Honey, if you want a jade bracelet, I'll buy one for you. Why do you want hers only?" William was clear that it would either be given to his older brother's wife or Richard's wife. Sophia was the last person for it.
Since his older brother didn't get married, Amy was most likely to get the jade bracelet.
