Stacy has never met her mother-in-law, so she is very excited when Gray kisses her goodbye and tells her that his mother is coming to keep her company. Her heart jumps with excitement as she rushes to the house and starts to arrange the house. Gray hardly spoke about his mother and she didn't want to push him, so she respected that.Now that his mother is coming, she is very excited to build a relationship with her mother-in-law. She doesn't have a mother, so maybe this woman will be the mother figure that she desperately longs for. She prepares a whole turkey and even gets a fresh bottle of wine. She is sitting down in front of the house in fresh clothes, making sure that everything is in place. Then she hears the knock, she almost trips herself as she runs to the door. When she opens the door, her breath is immediately seized. Before her is an older and female version of Gray, and she is so beautiful too! “G– Good afternoon, Mrs Lance.” She shudders. Mrs Lance's face breaks

Stacy is too scared to attempt to cook again after Gray's mother rubbishes her effort like that. She instead used the card that Gray gave her, and she ordered food for both of them. She knocks on Mrs Lance's door and runs away before she can come out. This went on for three days because Stacy doesn't know what else to do. She wakes up early in the morning to clean the house, so that when Mrs Lance finally wakes up, Stacy can withdraw to the safety of her room. On the phone, she tells a total lie to her husband. God forbid that she would be the wedge that would push their relationship even farther apart. “Your mother, oh, she is fine!” She laughs over the phone. “We have been having so much fun, and we are getting to know each other.” “Are you sure, Stacy? Please don't try to cover anything. If she has been mean to you, tell me and I will talk to her.” Gray encourages her, but Stacy stubbornly refuses. “Please, don't even bother yourself, my dear husband. Make sure you do your

Stacy doesn't know what to do, she just stands there and stares in astonishment. Mrs Lance almost bursts out at the sight of the gift, she hugs Wendy and covers her face in kisses. “I knew that you have always been the daughter I never had!” She wipes her eyes. “Look at how nice you are treating me! And look! My favourite cookies are even here!” Stacy feels a painful tear leave her eye. All her effort to win over her mother-in-law has gone into the bin. Mrs Lance turns to her with spite. “Did you see what she just did, Stacy? That's how one is supposed to treat their mother-in-law. You should learn, you are very hard to like, Stacy. Very hard.” Stacy bows her head and apologizes. She is not a weakling, she is just trying to be as respectful to her mother as possible. “Please, excuse us, Mrs Lance. Stacy borrowed something from me, and I need her to show me where she hid it.” Wendy smiles. She pulls Stacy by her hand and takes her all the way to the bedroom. She shuts the door

Hearing that, Stacy almost bursts out with tears over their ill treatment, but she holds herself. She smiles and hands the menu back to the waiter. He goes away and returns with very tantalizing food that she has seen in a long time…Stacy has come to hate her own cooking over the past days. It's not like she is a bad chef, no, it's because of her pregnancy and the oddness of her hormones. Her cooking is excellent, but her tongue can't accept the taste of the food, so she has suffered since she can't eat as much as she wants, since she can't eat as much as she wants. But, she would have totally wanted to eat the food that her cousin and mother-in-law are having right now. Too bad they won't allow her to have it.She silently keeps her head down and sip her water…“Look how beautiful you look. You have grown so much since I saw you at the wedding,” Mrs Lance chuckles. “Yes, Mrs Lance, that was a long time ago.” Wendy nods with a smile on her face. Mrs Lance pulls closer to Wendy

Stacy holds her hand over her chest. She is disheartened that Mrs Lance is asking after Wendy, the same person who abandoned her, but she doesn't know what to say to Mrs Lance. Even though she has been mean to her, she doesn't want to break her heart. If she tells Mrs Lance all the mean things Wendy said about her, she would not believe her. So, what's the use? Why even try? “Mrs Lance, please don't move too much because you are weak. Let's wait for the doctors to come to treat you and I'm sorry, but if I have to guess, I think you are going to spend the night in the hospital.” “What?” Mrs Lance raises her head even higher. “Did you not hear what I asked you? I said where is my beautiful daughter-in-law, Wendy?! Why would I have you by my side when I can have her?!” “Mrs Lance…” “Call her immediately. She perhaps doesn't know I am in the hospital.” Mrs Lance says. “I feel so terrible that I ruined the dinner. I will apologize to her. Also, seeing that kind face of hers is going
