Beatrice never thought she'd live to see the day her son was the subject of a romantic scandal. And the other person was Caitlin!
Incredible. Her Sweetie was absolutely incredible.
No one could understand how thrilled Beatrice was at that moment. After all, this was Caitlin! Her dream daughter-in-law! This was the kind of thing she only dared to dream about. She never imagined it would actually come true.
Beatrice let out a series of excited squeals.
Seeing her mother like this, Alaina cleared her throat. "Poise, Mother, poise! Can you please maintain some decorum? Look at you. Do you even resemble the matriarch of a prestigious family right now?"
Beatrice gave Alaina a meaningful glance. "When you've got a prize like this for a daughter-in-law, what's 'grace' anyway?"
Alaina was exasperated. "I've never seen such a hypocritical old lady."
Beatrice crossed her arms, her expression smug. "Well, now you have!"
Alaina was speechless.
After her moment of triumph, Beatrice looked back at Alaina and asked, "By the way, Alaina, is this news reliable? Is our Sweetie really dating Catie?"
Amidst her excitement, a sliver of worry crept in. What if it was all fake? That would be a huge disappointment. At her age, she couldn't handle that kind of emotional rollercoaster.
Alaina shrugged. "That, I don't know."
