Around 5 PM, when Ruth returned home, she felt slightly ashamed, "Son-in-law, you've worked hard. Let Mom give you a hand."

Luis in the kitchen was wearing shorts and had deliberately put on a vest, busily preparing dinner inside and out.

Ruth was dressed very beautifully today. A small, finely patterned floral dress accentuated her mature, full curves. Though she wasn't wearing makeup, that natural charm was her most captivating quality.

When people are poor, constantly calculating every penny for daily necessities makes them worldly and irritable. But now, free from those pressures and living a comfortable life, her temperament had instead softened considerably. Especially in front of Luis, she was completely a little woman, showing a trend towards becoming like Lily.

"Mom, it's fine, don't trouble yourself. I can handle it."

Luis washed his hands, then suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist. Ruth revealed a girlishly shy expression, enchanted by her son-in-law's loving, affectionate gaze.

"Mom, you're so beautiful!"

Luis kissed her. She closed her eyes, slightly parted her cherry lips, and actively met his kiss, sucking on her son-in-law's tongue.

At this stage, the final step was surely a matter of course. Luis was full of anticipation, not knowing when he would be able to freely taste this voluptuous body.

By the time the door opened again, the two had already separated. Ruth was wiping the dining table, Luis continued bustling in the kitchen as if nothing had happened, yet it all seemed particularly harmonious.

"Mom, we're back."

Lily and Nancy had met downstairs and came up together, chatting and laughing. It's just that Nancy felt quite guilty in her heart whenever she looked at her younger sister.

The only consolation was that her younger sister had permitted her brother-in-law to stray. There was no actual physical infidelity between her and her brother-in-law, but what if her younger sister found out about the things her older sister and her husband had done? Would she fly into a rage? The thought made her extremely anxious.

She no longer wielded the authoritative air of the eldest sister acting like a mother. Instead, she was very considerate, constantly telling her younger sister to rest well and take care of the baby in her belly.

"Hubby, you've worked hard..."

Lily entered the kitchen and hugged Luis. Luis said with a helpless expression, "I'm all dirty, don't hug me."

"Nothing's dirty about you. Hubby smells the best."

After saying that, she playfully raised her head, pouted her little lips, closed her eyes with an expectant look. Luis held her and gave her a very lingering, wet kiss right in front of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Now Lily has tasted the happiness of being treated as a treasure by her whole family, so she is particularly relaxed and dares to kiss passionately in public. If it were her previous introverted and dull personality, she would absolutely never have dared.

Because her mother would scold her, her elder sister would scold her, and once they found something displeasing, all sorts of old-fashioned and feudal reasons would come out.

But now her mother-in-law, Ruth, is watching happily. Even though the relationship with her son-in-law is already quite absurd, as a mother, she is simply delighted to see her daughter and son-in-law being so loving.

After being alerted to the sense of crisis by her eldest daughter, she suddenly found her feelings of guilt and sinfulness weren't so severe anymore.

She thought to herself, with such an excellent son-in-law, rather than having his soul snatched away by some vixen outside, it would be better for her to substitute for her daughter in serving her husband, resolving the son-in-law's desires during this period so he can stay at home contentedly.

Nancy could never have imagined that the report she made, intended to warn her mother and sister, instead ended up providing psychological counseling for her mother-in-law, Ruth.

"You two are an old married couple now, please be considerate of our feelings right away."

Nancy said it in a joking tone, but the moment she saw her sister's face full of happiness, and then looked at Luis's gentle expression.

Even though she knew she shouldn't and wasn't qualified, her heart felt sour with jealousy, extremely uncomfortable, especially unpleasant.

"Husband, let me help you."

"No need, I can handle it. Don't you trust my skills?"

"I trust you, my husband's cooking is the best. I'll go change my clothes."

The mother and her two daughters changed into comfortable home clothes. Because Daniel was coming, all three of them wore bras, which was particularly ridiculous, especially since Nancy had promised just last night not to wear one at home anymore.

"You all go sit over there, don't interfere with my performance."

The mother and two daughters started watching TV in the living room and even took out the almost never-used tea set to wash. After all, a guest is a guest, and certain formalities must be observed.

Lily couldn't help but ask, "Elder Sister, is your mother-in-law coming to eat at our house too?"

Nancy snorted and said irritably, "In your dreams. I was thinking of just having a quick meal downstairs, but Mom said to eat at home."

Ruth said with a stern expression, "I've discussed it with your brother-in-law. The saying 'a doting mother ruins the son' is their business. Our family has family traditions and upbringing; we can't compete in a race to the bottom with others. No matter what, we must entertain them properly first."

The two sisters looked suddenly enlightened; no one knows a mother better than her daughter.

Heaven knows, Ruth is a standard shrew. Talking about family traditions and upbringing seems a bit laughable. Needless to say, it must have been Luis's idea, since he is the head of the household now.

Nancy rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, then why didn't you come back earlier to help buy groceries or assist a bit?"

"Exactly!"

Lily, feeling sorry for her husband, chimed in, "Skipping a little playing time won't kill you. Even people clocking in for work aren't as punctual as you."

Seeing the two sisters daring to criticize her, the mother tiger frowned and was about to assert her authority when Luis called out, "Mom, take one of your bracelets and give it to Elder Sister to wear."

"Don't let them think our family is so poor. Everyone dress up nicely. It's not like we can't live without that Daniel."

This sentence saved the two sisters from dire straits and also ignited the competitive spirit and unity of the mother and three daughters. They immediately started chattering, discussing and swapping jewelry.

In the end, it was still too shabby. Apart from the three bracelets Luis bought, one for each, nothing else was really presentable.

The LV bag Nancy bought today for over 5,000 dollars was quite nice, but carrying a bag while eating is a bit conspicuous.

"They're here!"

The doorbell rang, and the Wood mother and daughters acted as if facing a great enemy, even making some adjustments before opening the door.

Luis checked the time; it was exactly 5:30, one minute early. He had to admit, that woman Hela had an insanely strong, almost obsessive-compulsive sense of punctuality.

Told his mother-in-law they'd arrive at 5:30, and she actually showed up right on the dot. Living with such an obsessive-compulsive career woman must be miserable.

The door opened. Hela, dressed in high-end professional attire, had an exceptionally strong aura. She entered with a charming, bright smile, "Dear mother-in-law, we're here."

Following behind was Daniel, who looked somewhat listless, nobody knew where he had been fooling around. He carried some fruit and two boxes of tea; probably wouldn't have brought anything if his mother hadn't told him to.

"Dear mother-in-law, please, come in, sit down. We'll be eating shortly."

Ruth also received them with considerable poise. Hela, in her high-end business suit and gold-rimmed glasses, projected an overwhelming presence the moment she stepped in.

The calm demeanor of a highly educated woman who was clearly accustomed to feeling superior to others made Daniel seem rather foolish following behind her.

That authoritative aura caused Luis's body to tense slightly, as he fantasized about how exhilarating it would be to press her down beneath him and wantonly humiliate her at will.

Daniel set down the items. Just then, Luis emerged from the kitchen wearing an apron, carrying a plate of roasted pork ribs in one hand and a bowl of steamed meat with egg in the other, placing them on the table.

Daniel saw it and laughed, "Luis, you're quite the qualified live-in son-in-law. You've got real skill at serving your wife."

Hela acted as if she didn't hear, but the Wood mother and daughters were now united, and their tempers had grown sharper too.

Ruth immediately snorted and said, "Yes, my second daughter is truly blessed. She married a man who knows how to care for others, understand warmth and cold, and cherish people."

The implication was very clear: my eldest daughter was unlucky to marry you.

"What prospects does a grown man have, doing housework all day at home?"

Daniel's face instantly flushed red.

"Prospects like yours!"

Lily retorted coolly, "My husband didn't pay a bride price, and neither did my brother-in-law. What's the difference?"
