"Really?" Missy blinked several times in disbelief after hearing Clara tell her that she was going to marry Edward.
Beside her, Edward sat quietly while holding Clara's hand.
His face looked tense as he waited for Missy's reaction.
"Oh, Mom!"
Missy immediately stood up and wrapped her arms around her mother.
Tears instantly filled her eyes.
Beside them, Edward finally let out a relieved breath.
"Are you sure you'll be happy, Mom?" Missy whispered softly. "Promise me you'll be happy."
"I will, sweetheart. I promise."
"Congratulations, Mom."
Edward gently joined the embrace, wrapping an arm around both of them.
"I'll tell my son, Liam, during dinner tonight," Edward said after a while. "Would you both like to come?"
Missy slowly pulled away and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"I think... maybe you should tell him first and see his reaction before I meet him. This is your moment."
Edward nodded with understanding.
"I understand. Thank you."
