?Chapter 1079:

    Elsa’s cheeks turned crimson with anger. The son she’d worked so hard to raise never showed her an ounce of respect, always ready to argue with her. But to others, he was all warmth and good manners. This was outrageous! She bristled, refusing to back down.

    “Of course, my son is remarkable. But don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate for you to call him your future son-inw? He and Brenna are only dating. They’re not married yet, and my son values his reputation. You shouldn’t say something like that.”

    Elsa threw her a pointed look. “Let’s not forget, he’s quite the catch. There are plenty of impressive women around him. Who he ends up marrying is still uncertain.”

    Brenna caught the meaning in her words right away and shot back, “I’m surrounded by plenty of amazing men myself, so who I end up with is also uncertain. But I think parents should stay out of their children’s love lives. Some people are so eager to y matchmaker that they don’t even realize the ideal future daughter-inw in their eyes is already married. Isn’t that awkward?”

    “You are trying to mock me, right?” Elsa snapped, her temper ring at Brenna’s clear jab. “You do realize I’m your boyfriend’s mother, right? A little respect wouldn’t hurt.”

    She attempted to reestablish her authority, tossing a sharpment Brenna’s way.

    “Respect? Rosanna always addressed you politely, and what did that get her? Didn’t you shove her down the stairs? I wouldn’t dare show you any respect.” Without waiting for a reply, Brenna linked arms with Giselle and walked off, chin held high.

    Taking a quieter route, they soon caught sight of Rosie’s car slowing down in the distance. The car then stopped, and Rosie hopped out to greet Elsa, her tone bright and weing.

    “Mrs. Mitchell! What brings you here today?” Rosie greeted Elsa, her voice full of warmth.

    Growing up, Rosie had always made an effort to win Elsa over, showering her withpliments and doing her best to make a good impression during every visit to Ethan’s house. The two had built an easy rapport, and Elsa had once hoped Rosie could be her daughter-inw.

    Elsa felt much better seeing Rosie. Knowing Rosie had been driven out by the Harper family, she guessed Rosie must dislike the Harper family too.

    “Rosie, it’s been ages! I’ve really missed you. I heard you married a prince from Plieca. How’s married life been treating you?” Elsa’s mood brightened as she spoke to Rosie.

    Rosie gestured toward the car. “My husband has been treating me well, Mrs. Mitchell. That’s him, Maxley. And it has been so long since Ist saw Ethan. How’s he doing these days?”

    Maxley, noticing their exchange, rolled down the window and greeted Elsa with a friendly nod.

    Elsa beamed. “Your husband is handsome and royal. Rosie, you are really lucky. It’s a pity that my son didn’t marry you…”

    Rosie was overjoyed to hear this. She had wanted to marry Ethan but never got the chance.

    “You have no idea how much I wished that, Mrs. Mitchell. I really wanted to be a part of your family before. Why don’t we find a ce to sit and chat? I’ve really missed you.”
