"I know, Mommy. I'll be careful," Zac said. Since his mother-in-law brought it up, it was pointless to explain too much. He just agreed.
After a moment of silence, Lucy continued, "I didn't think much of your marriage before because of your mommy. Now I have thought it over carefully. If Hazel divorce you, Hazel may live a better life, but the children may not. Nine out of ten stepmothers were not good people, especially in the rich families. For their children to get the inheritance right, they must try their best to kill their ex-wife's children. So, for the sake of the children, I can only let Hazel make do with you."
Zac was speechless. Mother-in-law's imagination was so wild that she even thought of a stepmother for her grandchildren. He would never have a second woman in his life except for his little fool.
