“Brother-in-law?” Xyla blinked and looked at Cordelia stiffly. “You… You got married?”

Cordelia smiled and placed dinner in front of her mother.

“Yes, mom! Bro-in-law’s great! He listens to Cordelia and is super nice to me!”

Xyla looked rather sullen. Her daughter had gotten married, but as her mother, she could not prepare anything for her or advise her on the ways of husband and wife like a regular mom.

She had never once fulfilled her duty as a mother while Cordelia was growing up. When she fell terribly ill, she had to trouble her daughter to take care of her. She was herself now—but how long could it last?

Xyla’s eyes were wet. A drop of tear slid off the corner of her eye.

“Mom!” Cordelia dropped her cutlery immediately. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m fine…” Xyla forced a smile and held her hand tightly. “Cordelia, mommy’s a failure. You getting married is so significant, but I can’t even…”

“Mom, don’t say that!” Cordelia hugged her. “God is good to me. I’m happy that I married Marcus!”

“His name’s Marcus?”

Cordelia nodded with a smile.

Her gaze was clear, and her smile was still innocent and pure. She was the prettiest in her mother’s mind.

‘It seems like Cordelia is right,’ thought Xyla. She had gotten married to the right person and would stay happy forever.
