Although Annabeth Cates wasn’t as beautiful as her other daughters-in-law, Sharon Lindt still adored her.
Sharon felt that Annabeth was a gentle and likable girl.
“Let Josh do it. Don’t worry. Just stay here with me,” Sharon said as she affectionately ruffled Annabeth’s hair.
“I don’t feel good that he is doing so much work. It’s his first time coming to my house,” Annabeth said.
“What’s wrong with that? He should be busy on his first visit to the in-laws’ place. That would make your mother feel more secure…” Sharon said.
“Alright then…” Annabeth said.
“Annabeth, have you thought about taking your parents to Atlantis? They’re getting old. I think you should live closer to them…
“We have many houses in Atlantis. Could we take your parents with us?
“Once we’re there, your parents can pick whichever house we own… We’ll transfer the ownership to your parents later…
“Medical facilities in Atlantis are better than here. Besides, you’d be closer to them. It’s easier for you to look after them, isn’t that so?” Sharon said carefully in her usual calm tone.
Annabeth felt pleasantly surprised…
She didn’t think Sharon would suggest this.
Annabeth suddenly felt touched by Sharon.
Not only was her future mother-in-law good to her, but she was also good to her parents…
However, Annabeth still felt pressured by how Sharon offered her parents a house for free.
“I’ve thought about this. If my parents were to come with me, they could live near us. However, you don’t have to transfer the house ownership to them. Just let them stay there for a while…” Annabeth said.
“We’ll talk about this when the time comes. Talk to your mother about this during the meal later,” Sharon said.
