Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Mother-in-Law Meets Son-in-Law

Without any preparation, Emily Hearne met her legendary son-in-law.

Her first reaction was--

The son-in-law looks a bit old.

Though among humans, his age is still quite well-preserved.

But when a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, how can she not be picky?

Compared to Emily Hearne’s casual scrutinizing gaze, Luca Jennings appeared much calmer.

After all, he had been in the business world for many years. Even though his age was a mere fraction compared to the Great Demon in front of him, time had imbued him with a calm demeanor.

"Hello, nice to meet you for the first time."

While Luca Jennings’ expression remained serious, his tone was respectful,

"Coming unannounced, I hope you don’t mind. Here’s a gift I prepared for you."

Emily Hearne glanced at the gift box being carried by a group of mini fire foxes, raising an eyebrow,

"You came prepared, didn’t you?"

Before Luca Jennings could speak, Ianthe Hearne’s ears perked up. She knew this one!

"He’s always prepared, just in case of any surprises one day."

Emily Hearne shot her a bland look; she hasn’t settled accounts with her yet, why interrupt?

Luca Jennings pretended not to understand the silent dispute between the two sisters, focusing only on Magnolia Hearne beside Emily Hearne.

Although he hadn’t had the chance to speak upon entering, seeing Magnolia sitting beside the other with a relaxed demeanor, Luca Jennings knew that her relationship with her mother-in-law wasn’t as tense as before.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have the chance to stand here.

So he said,

"I’ve always wanted to take the opportunity to formally visit with Qi Qi, so every time I go out, I always prepare a gift."

Emily Hearne simply responded with an "Oh," then asked,

"So are you saying that I’m not giving you the chance to visit?"

It was obvious she was deliberately picking on him. At Luca Jennings’ age, he wouldn’t show embarrassment over a word or two, maintaining his serious expression,

"I know you have your rules, and since I’m visiting you, I naturally follow your rules."

Emily Hearne responded with another "Oh," "Are you complaining about me setting rules for you now?"

As soon as she spoke, Magnolia Hearne’s elbow jabbed into her side fiercely.

Though not painful, it was clearly siding with the outsider.

Magnolia Hearne gave her a slightly resentful look.

Considering she and Luca Jennings had been married for so many years, with their children capable of defeating ferocious beasts, was it a bit much to act like a mother-in-law now?

Magnolia Hearne didn’t feel like she was siding with the outsider.

Clearly, her mother was deliberately being difficult.

Luca Jennings watched her subtle movements, the seriousness in his eyes softened slightly, signaling to her that it was okay.

Interrupted by Magnolia Hearne, Emily Hearne finally gave up on picking holes, her tail swayed, and she accepted the gift that Luca Jennings had offered.

She intentionally revealed her demon form, emitting pressure, her fox tail brushing past Luca Jennings, seeing he remained unmoved, even his gaze hardly changed.

She finally felt two points of satisfaction.

If someone were to be shocked by just a tail, they truly wouldn’t deserve to be a son-in-law of the Hearne Clan.

Although she accepted his gift, it didn’t mean complete acceptance, Emily Hearne still spoke sharply, asking him,

"Now that you’re over fifty, considering the human lifespan, your days are indeed limited. Have you thought about what Qi Qi will do when you’re gone?"

"Mother!"
