At noon in the Si family's home
A smiling lady held Melissa's hand and said, "Melissa, you're so beautiful. The photo doesn't do you justice. What a wonderful couple you and Boris make! I have been waiting for you for thirty years. Finally, you've come. Thank goodness."
"What do you mean?" Melissa was confused. She looked at the lady and thought, 'What did she mean by saying that she has been waiting for me? I didn't even know her before.'
The lady was Boris's mother, whose name was Sue.
With a bigger smile, she continued, "Boris is thirty years old this year. That's why I said that I've been waiting for you for thirty years."
Melissa was speechless. She thought, 'I never said I wanted to marry Boris. Why is she making it seem like we will get married soon?' "… Auntie… there must have been some misunderstanding. In fact, your son and I barely know each other. Hehehe…"
"Barely know each other?" Sue asked. Boris looked at her with a half smile.
Melissa, whose legs were still trembling, answered with absolute certainty, "Yes, that's right. Auntie, I don't want to…"
She refused to marry Boris, especially after she had slept with him in her apartment last night. It was not until this morning that she found out that Boris was aggressive in sex.
That was to say that his sexual competence was strong. One could sense it from her awkwardness.
In order to resolve the embarrassing situation, Melissa decided to recite a poem in silence. It went, 'Hardship will lead to prosperity, while comfort will incur destruction.'
After taking a look at Daniel and Janet, Boris said, "Uncle, Auntie, Melissa and I have decided to get our marriage certificate first thing in the morning. My parents will prepare everything for the wedding."
"You are lying. I didn't…" Melissa stopped when she remembered what had happened last night.
Upon hearing what Boris had said, Daniel's anger melted a bit.
Until
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women…
ly.
"That unfilial son! He is killing me. Since he was not home, I had tried my best to keep Melissa here for about half a year. As a daughter-in-law, she had been doing a good job. Although she likes having fun, she is a nice girl, always obedient and respectful to elders." With the nagging, Sue sat in front of her dresser and began to powder her face.
Then, she applied white lipstick to make herself look ill.
"Melissa, Melissa…" Upon hearing Sue's cough, Melissa quickly threw her half-packed luggage inside the cloakroom.
After she groomed herself well, as always, Melissa opened the door, smiled at her mother-in-law, and asked, "Mom, what can I do for you?"
'She looked paler than before.' Melissa thought, 'Is she ill again?'
Melissa was worried about her mother-in-law, so she went to bring her to the sofa.
During the past several months, everyone in the Fu family treated her well except Boris, who hadn't even made a call to her, yet.
"There is… Melissa, there is news from the military saying that Boris had made great contributions again." After these words, Sue gnashed her teeth. She thought, 'Boris is such a bad son. He devotes himself to rendering meritorious service to the state. But how could he ignore the fact that I am eager for a grandchild?'
