My Secret Husband Is My Cold Boss novel Chapter 105

"We're not sure yet," Sampson replied.

Stanley looked up at his son and said, "Your mother thinks Wendy has already compromised a lot by just signing the marriage papers. If she wants to go back to her hometown, you two don't have to force yourselves to come back here for the holidays."

Local customs dictated that a couple's first year of marriage should be spent with the husband's family.

"When the time comes, just tell her your mother and I are traveling abroad," Stanley continued. "That way, Wendy won't feel guilty about it."

It sounded so noble. Sampson scoffed. "I think you just want to take Mom on a romantic getaway."

Stanley didn't deny it. "Wouldn't you?"

Sampson stayed silent.

Reading between the lines, Stanley nodded. "Oh, right. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't."

"You kids aren't exactly that close yet."

"Dad," Sampson interrupted, not wanting to hear the rest of it.

Stanley chuckled, clearly amused, and stopped rubbing it in. "Alright, no rush. You two figure out what you want to do."

"But your mother mentioned when she came back from the hospital last time that your mother-in-law doesn't exactly hold you in high regard."

"Don't put Wendy in a difficult position when it comes to family drama."

"I know." Sampson nodded.

Since they didn't have to go back to the hospital.

The couple stayed for dinner before finally leaving.

As usual, the trunk was packed with a mountain of health supplements Winona had insisted they take.

On the drive back.

Wendy stayed awake.

Pulling up the calendar on her phone, she checked the dates and said, "I'm taking two days off next week. Just giving you a heads-up."

They hadn't fully exited the upscale residential area yet.

To protect the privacy of the homeowners, the streetlights were intentionally dim.

Sampson kept his eyes on the road. "Alright," he agreed. "I'll go with you."
