Just as Esther was thinking if she had sex with Terence, someone knocked on the door. Then, a lady in her sixties and a scrawny woman walked in.
Esther was stunned. She hurriedly got the wedding dress on and covered her chest.
She did not know who the two women were, nor why they came here. So, she did not know how to greet them. She could only sit on the bed and look at them. Then she said with difficulty, "Good morning."
The lady who was walking ahead had a poker face. But her face changed after she looked at Esther carefully. She turned astonished.
Esther felt very uncomfortable under her gaze. But she didn't know what to do, so she could only sit there and let her watch.
The lady was so shocked that her face turned deathly pale.
After a long while, the lady said in a trembling voice, "It's you?"
When she said that, she couldn't help but shake hard. The scrawny woman behind her quickly stepped forward to support her and said in a low voice, "Are you alright, madam?"
Esther felt it very strange. This lady had seen her before? Or...?
Before Esther could figure out the reason, the lady had returned to normal. Her face was no longer pale and her voice was no longer trembling. She gazed at Esther coldly again. "Are you Esther?"
"Yes." Esther nodded.
Gill, the lady, secretly sucked in her breath and then said calmly, "I am Terence's mother."
It was just as Esther had thought. The lady in front her was Terence's mother, the matriarch of the Gibson family!
Esther opened her mouth and finally said awkwardly, "Mom...."
Gill was at least 15 years older than Doris. Esther just met Gill for the first time and had to call her mom. It was a little embarrassing for Esther. However, she felt better when she thought that her husband, Terence, was also older than her.
Yeah, she did not marry James. Instead, she married Terence, who was eight years older than her. And he was James's uncle!
After Esther called her mom, Gill smiled faintly and looked nicer. "From now on, you are Terence's wife. We're a big family and have large family business. We have many family members. I hope you can behave yourself as Terence's wife."
Gill paused for a moment before continuing, "The most important thing is that you should take care of him."
"I will." Esther replied obediently.
But in her heart, she was praying that Gill could leave the bedroom as soon as possible. After all, she looked indecent in the messy dress.
Gill seemed to notice that Esther was awkward. So, she said, "Go to wash up. Lauren will tell you the rules in our family after that."
"Alright. Thank you, Mom." Esther heaved a sigh of relief.
After Gill left, Esther pressed on her chest and got off the bed, heading straight to the bathroom.
