I Wouldn’t Mind if He Married In
Inside the hospital room, someone was clearly smiling.
Outside the room, someone else had a smile plastered on their face that was impossible to wipe
off.
“It’s so quiet, I can barely hear anything…”
Nina pressed her ear against the door, but Margaret Bennett grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
“Are you crazy? If we get too close, they’ll hear us. Your sister–in–law is super shy. If she knew we were eavesdropping, she’d probably avoid you for a month.”
Remembering that this was exactly how Autumn Lopez was, Nina quickly took a few steps back.
“Okay, okay, I’ll stop listening.”
Seeing her back off, Margaret herself took Nina’s spot. “Well, let me have a listen then.”
Nina’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.
“Auntie, you tricked me!”
Margaret chuckled. “How is this tricking you? Oh wow, you can hear much more clearly from here! Too bad we can’t see what’s happening. Our Owen is finally having one of those epic, ‘marriage–of–convenience–turns–to–real–love‘ romances. As his mom, I’m seriously so stoked.”
“And Autumn is so gentle, beautiful, and capable! Owen really married up! When he wins, we all
win!”
Listening to her aunt’s rambling, Nina rolled her eyes, exasperated.
“Auntie, my cousin is the one getting a wife, you know? You want him to marry into her family?”
“If that’s what Autumn wants, I don’t mind.”
“Besides, it doesn’t matter whose last name the baby has, as long as it’s a Bennett baby.”
Nina had never met such an open–minded mother–in–law. She couldn’t help but give her aunt a thumbs–up.
“You’re one of a kind.”

I Wouldn’t Mind if He Married In
She really was something else. Having been in the entertainment industry, her ability to accept things was way stronger than most people’s.
“But Auntie, should we tell my sister–in–law about Robert Williams and the others being back in the country?”
