Emma waited for him to hang up, her clear eyes shining with gentleness: "Your mother's phone?"
"Yes." Alex pulled her to sit on his lap, his two hands naturally hugging her waist: "My mother was forbidden by my grandfather before; only after my grandfather passed away did she feel a little more comfortable. Maybe now she wants to find the feeling of being a mother-in-law from you. But you don't need to worry."
She gently reproached, her voice gentle: "Does anyone talk about their mother like that?"
"Normal people will have conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after getting married. I'm not a normal person, so you don't need to worry."
His confident tone made Emma laugh, her eyes shining with affection. She really liked the way he protected her, but she couldn't rely on him for the rest of her life.
"Alex, have you thought about us living together for the rest of our lives?"
His eyes trembled slightly, a hint of surprise.
"Forever", what a beautiful word.
