Broken With My Mother In Law

“Is it possible for me to explain it now?”

“Your explanation should convince me.” She said while she crossed her arms around her chest.

“When you saw the two of us, yes, I was actually holding Caroline, but it was because I was going to send her to bed because she was deeply intoxicated. She was not able to carry herself and walk around. She was in need for help. I did not do anything with her at all. Please take my word for it Linda.” I held her hand, asking her to believe me.

At the hospital, I feel that I am a highly respected person, but now as I stand here humbly pleading with a woman to believe me. I realized that I can be vulnerable around her, it is because she is the woman who I want to be with for the rest of my life and I do not want her to feel that she is incapable of trusting me.

She stared at me seriously. 

“All right, I believe you but that does not mean that I am still not upset with you.”

I sigh in relief when I heard her words that came out of her mouth.

“I will make it up to you.” I said to her and kissed her forehead.

We were outside and it was cold. We should go inside and join the party. I saw Linda’s face being worried and I asked her why.

“Is there something bothering you Linda? You can tell me anything.”

“I am actually really tired today Donald. This party is very different from any of my expectations. And I’m worried because your mother does not really like me. I get so nervous when I am around her, why? what should I do to make her like me?” Linda shook her head in disappointment. 

In fact, she has been very good to me and never had she made me felt unworthy for her love. She is always there for me and I don’t think that anyone would hate her even my own mother. But my mother’s problems her will be handled by me; I will make it work for the both of them. If I don’t handle this situation properly, chaos could happen which is why I need to protect my girlfriend Linda from the thoughts of my mother to her. 

I cupped her face with my hands, looking at her eyes.

“You do not have to do anything, just be yourself, and leave the rest to me.” I held her and patted her on the back, hoping it would make her feel better.

“Donald, thank you for everything and helping me all of the time. I am so lucky to have you. I will be soon Mrs. Field and be with you for the rest of our lives. And I am excited.” She tilted her head up to look at me with sparkles in her eyes and kissed me on the cheek. 

She should not be worried about my mother but I thank her because she still respects my mother without any complaints even though the two of them don’t get along that much. I should be the one thanking her because I am the one who is lucky to have her.  Thinking about this makes me feel so happy. The person I love will be forever mine. I hugged her tight.

I suddenly remembered what happened earlier, before I walked in the room. 

“By the way, can you tell me who that man was? the one you were with before I came. What are you doing here with him? I know he is not your friend.” I felt super jealous as I remembered his face. It is a very sour feeling, my hands clenched into a fist with the thought of him.

“Oh him, he is my hand-painted person in charge. I forgot to tell you I have recently been busy in hand painting and I put all of my works online. People have voted for my hand-painted works and I was included by their platform. I just talked about my hand-painted things casually on the internet while showing it to them. I have been occupied with these to make the most of my time.” She said this to me with excitement. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Why haven’t she told this to me before? I questioned it and I was not bothered about it at all when I thought about it because I could really tell that she was passionate about hand painting. 

So, it means that she was really making me jealous earlier with that man just to get back at me with what I did to Caroline. I chuckled softly at the thought of that. She very cute when she gets jealous.

“Linda, you don’t need to make yourself tired from doing any work. I am here to help you; I will work hard for the both of us. Even if you do not work anymore, it is okay.” 

She can do nothing and it is all right with me because I love her and I do not want her to be involved in any activities that could make her feel exhausted. She already works a couple of part-time jobs. But when she is with me, she does not have to put any effort in working. 

“But that is just it, Donald. I do not want you to put all of the effort for our relationship alone. You don’t need to put this pressure all by yourself. Painting by hand gives me a lovely sensation. The peace of the moment flows into my mind, and allows me to freely create imaginative things. When I am doing it, it makes me really happy. There is still a lot of time left to do something I am passionate about, and I am certain I will be able to fill that time. I don’t want to be a burden to you that is just at home doing nothing. Okay? If you are interested in what I do, I will take you with me and let us experience it together.” 

I am charmed by her desire, so I let her go ahead and do want she loves to do. As long as she is happy, I will support her in everything she does because seeing her happy makes me happy too.

I gave her a big smile and held her hand. I almost forgot that we were still outside.

“Okay, I understand. Do your best and I will always be here to support you, I know that you can do it…. It is a bit cold, when shall we go over to the hall? The party should be about to begin. And I needed to ask you if your friends have come too? Why didn’t you meet with them?” It seems that her mood changed as I mentioned her friends. Why aren’t her friends with her?

“The two of them went to see your mother. They liked her very much. They were a little too excited to see her for the first time. I was left out in the cold. They didn’t want me to tag along.” Looking at Linda’s sad appearance, I regret not coming to accompany her earlier. Her friends, for example, were unconcerned with her feelings and they easily judged her. They left her to deal with so much on her own.

At our wedding rehearsal party, the two of us were outside, and the guests were still eating, drinking and having fun inside.

“Then let’s just go right now, Let’s ditch this party and go home just the two of us. We have been away for so long; we need a break from all of this.” 

” I don’t want to go yet, they will be too difficult to handle if we just leave without any reasons, just let them enjoy their time. We can just go home after the party has ended.” What should I do to the people looking down at Linda? I want to let them know that Linda is the one for me and that he is perfect.

“You may rest assured while you are with me, you don’t have to be concerned about what other people say about you with their stares from now on; I will constantly keep an eye on you and protect you.” While saying this to her, I helped Linda reapply her makeup, straighten her clothes, And I took her hand, carefully entering into the hall.
