The Amazing son in law Chapter 1269
Leann had never been on board with her son Steve’s marriage to Isabella. Read full story at find·novel·net
Yet, today, she chose to host the wedding, driven by a desire to distance herself from the entire situation as much as possible.
In her mind, this was the perfect opportunity to embarrass Isabella and her family. Leann wanted to create an atmosphere where she would feel ashamed to hold her head high in front of her relatives and friends, all because of Isabella’s parents. By doing this, she believed she could claim the moral high ground and block Isabella from joining the Carson family.
This approach, Leann felt, was typical of shrewd parents in everyday life.
Wise parents usually refrain from issuing ultimatums during conflicts with their children.
If they firmly decided to reject their child’s choices, they risked their child harboring resentment or blame towards them in the future if that child struggled to cope with the fallout.
On the other hand, if Leann employed a different tactic, the outcome would likely be more favorable.
She felt secure in her moral stance now. Even if Steve was unhappy, he would find it difficult to voice his discontent.
After all, she had placed him in a very uncomfortable position.
If he chose to defend Isabella now, he would essentially be opposing the entire Carson family.
Every member of the Carson family was understandably offended by the absence of Isabella’s parents at their wedding. This was a burden Steve could hardly bear.
Leann was correct.
At that moment, Steve was filled with unease.
He was at a loss for what to do.
If he listened to his mother, he would likely end up not getting married today.
But if he stayed silent, how could he expect Isabella to handle the pressure and stress all on her own?
If he chose to defend her, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face to all his relatives?
Claire, witnessing Isabella’s tears and the pain she was enduring, felt a deep sense of sadness. However, she was unsure of what to say or do in this moment.
Regardless of the complexities surrounding the situation, the absence of Isabella’s parents was a significant point that could easily be turned against her.
If they couldn’t find a way to resolve this, it seemed likely that the wedding would not take place today.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Charlie, who had been observing everything from the start, remained silent. He watched Leann with a cool expression, already contemplating how he would deal with her behavior.
Just then, a black BMW X6 approached and came to a halt.
A woman in her fifties stepped out of the vehicle.
Upon seeing her, Leann’s face lit up with surprise. She rushed over to greet her, saying, “Lisa, what a pleasant surprise! What brings you here?”
Lisa was Leann’s best friend, hailing from a well-to-do family and maintaining a solid connection with the Ward family.
The Ward family ran several large supermarkets in the area. While they might not have the renown of Carrefour or Walmart, they still had a significant presence in nearby districts, counties, and suburbs.
Additionally, David’s Golden Family flour, produced at his mill, was a local staple in Aurous Hill.
