Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 417 Things Get Difficult

“Those are the requirements that a virtuous and obedient daughter-in-law should have. Are my requests too much for you, Ms. Winters?” Kate asked with a graceful smile.

Anyone who would agree to those terms has got to be either a mindless puppet or a time-traveler from the ancient times! The corner of Tiffany’s lips twitched at the thought of that.

“Those are some very interesting requests, Mrs. Hisson. I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can fulfill them,” she replied solemnly while looking straight at Kate.

The smile on Kate’s face slowly faded as she pressed on, “You claim to love Derrick, and yet you can’t even fulfill such simple requests?”

“Please put yourself in my shoes and ask yourself the same question, Mrs. Hisson. Would you be able to fulfill those requests you made earlier?” Tiffany asked, hurling that question right back at her.

“How insolent! Is this the kind of attitude you take with your elders?” Kate shouted with an incredibly stern look on her face.

Tiffany’s anger was boiling as well, but she suppressed it forcefully by repeatedly reminding herself that Kate was Derrick’s mother.

She then got to her feet and lowered her head as she said, “Please don’t be angry, Mrs. Hisson. I was just a little surprised by the requests you listed, that’s all. I apologize for my unpleasant tone earlier.”

Tiffany’s apology was so sincere that Kate found herself unable to lash out at her anymore.

“As expected of a freelance author. You sure have a way with words, Ms. Winters!” she remarked with a sarcastic smile.

“Thank you for the compliment,” Tiffany responded in kind.

Kate then turned toward Rosalind and said, “See that, Rosie? Derrick’s girlfriend is already talking back to me before they’re even married! I can only imagine the amount of disrespect she’d show me in the future!”
