Alice Turner tried to minimize her presence, but Alexander Shaw and Isla Lane had the exact opposite intention—they wanted to significantly increase her presence in this family, especially her mother-in-law, Isla Lane.
After returning to the living room from the bathroom, Isla sat directly next to Alice and started chatting with her, with Alexander chiming in occasionally from the side.
The couple seed to treat their son as if he didn’t exist, chatting warmly with their daughter-in-law.
The man left out in the cold looked sadly at his parents, wondering if they were actually his parents or hers.
Why did he feel like he wasn’t their son at all? It seed like this woman was their real child.
What exactly was so good about this woman? Why did his parents like her so much that they ignored their tall, handso biological son?
Alexander and Isla continued this way up to dinner ti. Seeing Alice struggle to hold chopsticks with her injured hand, Isla walked over and sat beside her, saying, "Alice! Let Mom feed you."
As she spoke, she reached out to take the chopsticks from Alice’s hand, but her hand ca up empty.
"I can’t let you feed . I can manage on my own." Alice turned slightly to avoid Isla’s outstretched hand. She was deeply moved by Isla’s care and could feel her eyes starting to well up.
Being refused by her daughter-in-law left Isla feeling uncomfortable, "Alice! You’re always so polite with Mom, making feel like an outsider."
She genuinely wanted to feed her daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law didn’t appreciate it, leaving her with a bad feeling.
"Mom! I don’t consider you an outsider, don’t overthink it." Alice could feel and deeply appreciated Isla’s kindness, but she also feared Isla’s kindness, as it would make her sad and upset in the future.
Alice and that man were destined to divorce—his parents treated her so well now, how would she face them in the future?
Seeing the situation, Alexander chid in, "Isla! Let Benjamin take care of Alice, you don’t need to add to the chaos over there."
As he spoke, he gave his wife a look, signaling her to change her approach.
"I..."
Isla was initially unsure of what Alexander ant, about to argue back when she suddenly saw him signaling her with his eyes, and at that mont, she caught on.
She gave him a reassuring look, then turned her head toward her son on the other side, "Son! Stop just eating by yourself and co help your wife."
Isla didn’t just leave it as words; she also took action. As she spoke, she got up and moved to Benjamin’s side, quietly nudging him to remind him to sit next to Alice.
"She still has one hand that can move; it’s not like both hands are injured." Not only did Benjamin not help Alice as his parents suggested, but he also made a sarcastic remark while casting a glance at Alice.
Isla raised her hand and smacked her son’s back, angrily saying, "Why are you so clueless?"
