"I know and I understand. Thank you, Sabrina. I will always do as you say," Ruth said with a smile.
Sabrina smiled. "Go ahead then. Go and keep your future mother-in-law accompanied. Discuss your marriage as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will prepare a huge gift for you."
Sabrina had already prepared the gift she wanted to give to Ruth. It was a commercial property in Kidon City. Sabrina could not afford to give her too huge of a gift. She had used her share in the Ford Group and also her savings from the past couple of years to buy that property for Ruth. What she wanted was to let Ruth, whose family was not powerful, not be looked down upon when she got to Kidon City.
After Ruth had parted with Sabrina, Sabrina could not help but worry. She wondered how difficult of a person Ryan's mother was. Ruth, on the other hand, returned to the house she and Ryan were staying in after she left Sabrina's side. That was a small detached mansion that Ryan had bought in South City many years ago. It was not that far from his Uncle Alex's mansion halfway up the mountains. However, there was a mountain between them, so it seemed a little far away, i
When Ruth got to the small mansion, it was already evening. After she parked her car, Ruth carried the clothes she had bought for her future mother-in-law and headed in. When she came to the entryway, she saw her future mother-in-law, Patricia, sitting on the couch. Ryan, on the other hand, was sitting at the side.
"Say, Ryan! You have been in a relationship with Ruth for two years, and you have always been telling me that Ruth is very good and so on. She had also behaved very politely the few times she had been to our house. I originally didn't agree to your marriage with her because the status and prestige of both our families just don't match. I also knew that she is uncultured and very vulgar. However, seeing that she had been so by the rules and had been so knowledgeable every time. I reluctantly agreed. Who would have known that now that you're about to get married soon, her true colors were all exposed. You didn't see it, but the way she argued with Zayn that day, even I...couldn't stand it. She was simply ugly beyond measure!"
When Patricia said that, her expression disgusted to her bones.
Ryan did not say a thing. He just lowered her hand and laughed as he could not help it. He wanted very badly to tell his mother, "Mom, the look of Ruth's that you've seen is actually very restrained. You hadn't even seen the way she looked standing in the market with her hands on her waist and wanting to fight with others. If you had seen that, you would have been pissed to death."
Oh! In order to not let his beloved mother die from being pissed off, Ryan chose to shut up!
"Mom, I'll talk to her. I will certainly talk to her. Ruth is very obedient. She certainly can change if I talk to her. II
"Can she change?" asked Patricia.
"Yes! Missus Poole, I...I certainly can change." At that moment, Ruth walked over from the entryway. She respectfully came to the front of Patricia and squatted in front of her. "Don't worry, Missus Poole. I certainly, absolutely, definitely, will make amends!
Ruth said it with great resolve. She truly wanted to correct her behavior for the sake of her marriage with Ryan. She did love Ryan, and she loved him very much.
Patricia took advantage that she had the upper hand and asked, "From now on, will you submit the restraints of the Poole family?"
In fact, the Poole family did not have much of any restraints on the daughters-in-law. They did have some in the past, but it had been abolished by Alex earlier on. That was because Alex did not want his wife to be subjected to any form of restraints.
However, at that moment, Patricia wanted to show her dignity and might as the future mother-in-law, she wanted first to crack the whip and establish her power in front of Ruth. Even Ryan, who was listening a t the side, was stunned.
However, Ruth did not mind at all. As long as she could make her mother-in-law happy, she would agree to anything. Therefore, she nodded firmly." Missus Poole, don't worry. I will certainly obey your teachings and control."
"Great!" Patricia smiled satisfyingly. "Go, bring me a basin of water, and personally serve me and wash my feet for me."
