Rita smiled shyly. She had expected Sherman's grandparents and parents to be difficult people, yet they turned out to be so kind and amiable. She felt even more humiliated at the thought. The difference between them and her father was like night and day.

Sherman stepped forward, placed his hand on Rita's shoulder, and guided her inside. "Alright, I already said not to wait at the door. Grandpa and Grandma are getting older. What if they catch a cold from the draft?" Chelsea, Sherman's grandmother, waved it off. "I'm perfectly healthy. Rita, csit next to me." Rita's seat was supposed to be next to Sherman's, but since Chelsea had spoken, she had no choice but to change her seat.

Sherman was a bit reluctant. It was Rita's first tvisiting, and having her sit next to his grandmother might make her feel uncomfortable.

The old lady fixed him with a stare. "What's the matter? Afraid I'd eat your wife?" Rita turned to Sherman and subtly shook her head. "Grandma, I'm sure he doesn't think that way. I'd be honored to sit next to you. Here, letescort you to your seat." Rita smoothly took Chelsea's hand from Simona, pulled out the chair for the old lady, and helped her to sit before sitting next to her. As she spoke, Rita cast a natural glance at Sherman, as if they were so in love that they could not help but gaze at each other.

Her expression did not go unnoticed by the elders, who felt somewhat reassured. Even though they did not mind giving the money to Rita's father, seeing as that little money was nothing compared to their family's vast wealth, they still held the hope that Sherman would marry someone he genuinely liked. They did not want him to end up losing both his wife and his happiness after paying such a high price.

"I'm relieved to see you two so happy with each other. At least now I can die with peace. I hope you two will always support each other and live happily ever after. Rita, I know about the troubles in your family, but you don't need to feel guilty about that now that you've married into our family. Just enjoy your new life with Sherman," said Chelsea tenderly while patting Rita's hand.

The kinder the elders treated Rita, the guiltier she felt. After all, she was deceiving them even then. She did not speak much for the rest

of the time, Instead, she just quietly paid attention to the conversation among the elders. She would refift their glasses promptly when they were empty, fulfilling the duties of a good daughter-in-law.

They all had their own work to attend to and thus had not planned to stay long. Moreover, Rita had just married into the family, so it would not be right of her to distract Sherman from his work. After saying goodbye and getting into the car, Rita finally sighed in relief, though her brow remained slightly furrowed.

Mulling over that day's events, she finally said, "Sherman, why don't we just be honest with yo@family about everything? They've been so kind to me, and I feel really guilty about it." Sherman coldly refuted, "Will they be happy if you tell them now?" Ashburn > X
