Sharon Lindt appeared unconcerned. “Why does it matter? People your age should stay out late. You’re not old, so what’s the concern about coming home before midnight?”
Xyla Quest couldn’t help but laugh at this.
Stanley Batton calmly walked over and sat down next to his wife. “My parents don’t mind.”
“Yes, it’s fine if you want to stay up all night. You both should enjoy your lives while you’re still young. Your mother and I would stay up all night sometimes, too,” Wilson Batton spoke up.
Xyla’s smile gradually widened, recalling the videos she’d recently seen of people complaining about their mothers-in-law on TikTok.
Their mothers-in-law would often nag at them for getting home late and not looking after their children due to work.
Some would even nag at them despite staying at home to look after their children every day.
Compared to these people, Xyla was even more content with her life, feeling like she was practically living in heaven.
She was very much at peace.
“That’s right. Aren’t people meant to stay up late, anyway?” Sharon asked.
“Won’t you mind that I’m making Annabeth stay up despite being pregnant?” Xyla asked, chuckling.
“Once in a while is acceptable. When I was pregnant, I even stayed up until three in the morning. I turned out fine, didn't I?” her mother-in-law asked.
With a look of disbelief in her eyes, she wondered, “Who were you pregnant with at the time?”
“Hmm, Stanley," Sharon said thoughtfully. "And Josh. And their elder brothers. All of them.”
She was rendered speechless. Her mother-in-law was out of this world!
