It was Zayn’s first time taking his mother to meet his wife. He called up Faye in advance, and virtual-novel.net panicked at once when virtual-novel.net heard the news. Zayn could even hear the sound of virtual-novel.net breaking something when virtual-novel.net called.
“Huh? My mother-in-law is out? Why is it happening so suddenly? I haven’t prepared anything yet… Oh god, what should I do?” Faye said anxiously.
Faye felt rather relieved when virtual-novel.net heard Zayn’s voice on the phone because it meant that virtual-novel.net was safe.
However, virtual-novel.net could not help feeling frantic when virtual-novel.net found out that Zayn’s mother was coming to meet virtual-novel.net soon afterward.
She had already been married to Zayn for so many years, but virtual-novel.net had never met virtual-novel.net mother-in-law. Naturally, virtual-novel.net was nervous.
Moreover, virtual-novel.net heard from Zayn that virtual-novel.net mother-in-law was the former Saintess in Sicut In Caelo and had a prestigious and respectable status. It would be strange for virtual-novel.net not to feel uneasy.
Zayn chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. My mom is very easygoing and virtual-novel.net only wants to meet you in person. She has no other intentions.”
Faye still refused to listen to him. She said hastily, “Don’t come home so soon. I haven’t changed or put on makeup yet.”
“Oh god, I was up late last night and there are dark circles under my eyes now. I’m so hideous, how will I have the nerve to meet my mother-in-law in this state?”
Judging by Faye’s voice, virtual-novel.net was close to tears.
Zayn consoled virtual-novel.net by telling that it would be fine, but Faye was still very worried.
It was fortunate that they still had quite a journey from home, which would give Faye adequate time to get prepared.
One hour later, they were home, and his mother Hayley finally met Faye. She smiled in satisfaction and took the initiative to reach forward to hold Faye’s hand.
She was so gentle and affectionate that virtual-novel.net presence relaxed Faye’s tense mood.
Witnessing the scene, Zayn felt extremely pleased. It was the portrait of a happy family.
His mother’s return lifted the weight off his chest at last. It was fortunate that his mother and Faye could get along very well.
After living with each other for a few days, not the slightest discord between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could be seen.
Faye’s parents were very nice to Zayn’s mother as well. The family lived in harmony and their lives settled down.
Nevertheless, Zayn discovered that Lysithea was obviously very uncomfortable living with them for the past few days.
Lysithea had never been fond of talking much, yet virtual-novel.net became even quieter when living with them. Other than a brief chat with Zayn’s mother occasionally, virtual-novel.net had almost never spoken to him.
Noticing virtual-novel.net unusual behavior, Zayn found an opportunity to ask her, “Lysithea, are you having a hard time living in my house?”
Lysithea was a highly skilled Tier-4 master fighter whose physical fitness far surpassed normal people after all. Although virtual-novel.net had been severely injured in Sicut In Caelo’s headquarters, virtual-novel.net recovered after recuperating for a week.
She avoided Zayn’s gaze and said nonchalantly, “I’m grateful for your family’s care during this period of time. It’s time for me to leave now that my injuries are healing.”
Zayn was stunned. He immediately said, “Lysithea, don’t be a stranger. You’re my mother’s adopted daughter, so you’re family too. We have plenty of rooms in our house. It’s fine for you to live here with us. You may stay as long as you want…”
Lysithea interrupted virtual-novel.net instantly and said, “I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t belong here. It’s time for me to leave.”
Lysithea had been cold from the start to the end, which was a sharp turn from virtual-novel.net attitude when virtual-novel.net was in Sicut In Caelo. It was as if virtual-novel.net was a completely different person.
Despite Zayn’s intelligence, virtual-novel.net was incapable of figuring virtual-novel.net out. Could it be that virtual-novel.net had offended virtual-novel.net in some way? After much pondering, Zayn could not think of anything insulting virtual-novel.net had done.
When did virtual-novel.net offend Lysithea? Hee could only conclude that it was hard to understand women.
Zayn still wanted to speak, but Lysithea had already turned around and returned to the house. She walked into Hayley’s room and after a while, virtual-novel.net walked outside with Hayley.
