Chapter 215 Shoot Mrs. Wilsonâs accurate guess raught me off guard, raising a bullet of pante in my chew. I desperately prayed for Bright to hatolle this shitta carehilly. He gared at his mom for a length of time, as if trying to access her ertins from her expranonte fare. Then he held her hand âMom, I said Laura has cooked this meal Nething else.â
Riting my fingernails, I observed her keenly to look for a brit of sofress n he face. Mr. Wilmon appeared indifferent and cold as she broke straight into Brightâs eyes.
âUse your diplomatic answers somewhere else. I have spent my entire life with your dad. I know how it worksâ
Oops!
She didnât give him a chance to deny his claim and sighed. Her voice was barely above a whisper as she sat hark and said.
âI thought that finally, my son has noticed my love for him. But no...â
That was all I could understand from the incoherent phrases, as she kept mumbling under her breath. Bright sensed the danger looming over us and spoke immediately.
âMom, I have prepared everything for you. And why does it matter if Laura has helped me with it? These are my heartfelt emotions for you.â
Brightâs indirect confession turned her face crimson in a split second, Mrs. Wilson let out her anger. âIt matters, Bright! One good thing you did for me, and it was because of an outsider. Why arenât you seeing the problem in it?â
Her voice raised an octave as she threw the napkin on the table. âYou are my son. Why does it take you an outsiderâs suggestion to plan something special for me?â
Mrs. Wilsonâs valid point made me feel her anguish; she was hurt for being ignored for long. But to my dismay, Bright couldnât pick this obvious clue. He spoke with no thought.
âMom, Laura is going to be a part of our family. We are a couple, so we came up with an idea to make combined efforts to win your heart. You werenât accepting Laura as your daughterâinâlaw.â
At that point, I wanted to go out and smack Brightâs head for ruining the perfect moment with his clueless speech. Mrs. Wilson was definitely not happy after this sudden turn of events. She got up and grabbed the gift bag.
âIf you wish to be with her so much, I wonât hinder your way. Pick a date for marriage. I will talk to your dad.â
âMom!!!â Bright rushed to hug his mother and exclaimed, âI canât believe that you agree for our wedding, mom. Thanks a lot. I love you.â
It was evident from Mrs. Wilsonâs rigidness that she only surrendered for her sonâs happiness; she wasnât genuinely happy for us.
However, it was better than nothing.
She caressed his head and said, འà½à¼à¼à½à¼
âI love you too, my son. Sometimes, parents canât stop their kids from getting fooled. They had to learn from bad experiences.
But, no worries. I will be here to console you for your loss eventually.â
âItâs not like that, mom.â Bright protested, âLaura is a wonderful woman. I am sure youâll love her. Please trust your sonâs choice.
You have taught me well.â
He attempted to flatter her, but the damage was done. Mrs. Wilson refused outright when he asked her, âMom, would you like to meet Laura? She is here. I will ...â
âNo!â She said, sharply. âI have agreed to your marriage, but it doesnât mean that I like her too. Laura is just your choice, not mine!â
