Not long after Marcus left, Abigail's parents also showed up. After mourning Granny Rebecca, they immediately got down to business.
Zack's parents were in the living room helping Cornelia entertain the guests who came to mourn Granny Rebecca, while Abigail's mother came to the kitchen to lend a hand as much as possible.
Seeing her daughter busy in the kitchen, Abigail's mother felt very pleased, "You’ve grown up."
Abigail said, "Well, I'm about to get married, so I better have."
Abigail's mother asked, "Didn't that boy come back to Rosenberg with you?"
Abigail replied, "He did come back with us, but we didn't have time to entertain him, so I decided to invite him over after we have dealt with Granny Rebecca's affairs."
Abigail's mother was very satisfied, "You’ve become pretty savvy in handling things."
Abigail asked, "If I've become mature in handling things, what about you? Have that mother and son made a ruckus at our place again?"
Abigail's mother answered, "After the unpleasant incident on Christmas, I told your dad that if he lets them stay at our place again, I’ll divorce him. He probably got scared that I'd leave him, so he hasn't dared to let them come since then."
Abigail said, "He should have done that long ago. They're all grown-ups. You guys have no obligation to take care of their lives."
Abigail's mother sighed again, "It's been a few months since we last saw each other, and you've become so much more mature."
