Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 700

Chapter 700 Becoming In-Laws

"How could that be?" Martha answered with a smile, then leaned in close to Melissa and said, "Why don't you bring your future son-in-law home now?"

Before Melissa could react, Martha's voice rang out again. "Don't worry, when he marries your daughter, they'll have a house and car. I'll take care of it."

"After they get married and move out, I won't interfere with their lives. He can even live with my daughter at your house," Martha added mischievously while winking at her friend.

Melissa was stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality with widened eyes.

"I feel like there's some ulterior motive behind what you're saying but it doesn't seem like there's any problem," she said hesitantly.

"Is there any problem?" Martha blinked innocently at Melissa.

Just then two men approached from nearby - Stefan walking ahead while gazing fondly at Martha and Eden following closely behind him.

"What are you guys talking about that has you laughing so happily?" Stefan asked as his lips curled up slightly.

"We're talking about Jimmy becoming Melissa's son-in-law in the future," replied Martha with a wink and an impish grin on her face.

Eden sitting next to Melissa heard this and his expression darkened immediately. His daughter wasn't even born yet but someone was already thinking about marrying her off?

As he brooded over this unpleasant thought, Melissa turned to him thoughtfully before hesitatingly repeating what she had just told Martha earlier:

"Martha says we can bring Jimmy home as our son-in-law right now. And later on when they get married she will buy them a car and house without interfering in their lives - being the perfect mother-in-law."

"Yeah! I've made myself clear enough already; why are you still hesitating?" added Martha gleefully as she looked into Melissa's eyes which were shining brightly now too - obviously pleased by all this talk of weddings!

But Eden shook his head firmly. "No way."

"What is it?" asked Martha curiously as she paused her breakfast to look at Melissa.

"Do you remember my favorite band from college - KB?"

"Yes," replied Martha with a knowing smile on her face. She had guessed what was coming next - either KB was touring or there was an upcoming event that they were attending together.

Melissa continued excitedly without waiting for an answer, "KB is going to perform here soon! Will you come watch them with me?"

Martha felt like she had seen this scene before; it was familiar somehow. She realized that Melissa was using her usual tactics of persuasion when she added in a pleading tone: "You know how much I love KB from college days! Please come watch them with me."

The sound of Melissa's voice echoed through the hospital room leaving no doubt about how much this meant to her.

She knew why she felt so familiar with this scene! When Melissa persuaded her to see the male model performance, she said the same thing!
