Chapter 244 He Didn't Even Ask Her to Stay

• Elise quickly explained, "It's not like I wanted to accept Jamie's presents, but the situation at the time…" Just then, however, she thought of something. After all, Madeline was Alexander's mother. However displeased she was with Madeline, she couldn't say nasty things about his mother in front of him. Therefore, she changed the subject and said, "Never mind, I'll return them after leaving them here for a few days."
• However, Alexander tightened his arms around her. "I'm sorry, Elise. I don't think I can accept other men being nice to you, so I've got to be twice as nice to you in the future."
• Elise didn't say a word. There were some things that she didn't want to tell him lest it made him feel even more irritable. However, she could sense that Madeline was hostile to her. Seems like it's true that the relationship with one's mother-in-law is the trickiest problem in the world. Perhaps I could reduce the conflict between us by avoiding her, she thought. At the thought of this, she made up her mind.
