After all, she was Dante’s mother.
“What further shocked me was when my son didn’t even know he had a child for those three years.”
I was unable to hide my wince.
“While my son has explained on your part, I still found myself quite dissatisfied, which was quite a shame as I had grown fond of you when you came here as a nurse.
But then, I started to see how happy you make my son, and I decided to give you another chance.”
Isabella adjusted her sitting posture to make herself comfortable before pinning me to my seat with her piercing gaze.
"So, Angela, tell me about your background. I'm curious to know more about the woman who has captured my stepson's heart."
Her tone was almost too pleasant as if she were trying to retrieve some kind of information from whatever I would say.
I shifted in my seat, my instincts telling me to tread carefully.
Was this how it was like to meet the mother-in-law?
Angela: "Well, I grew up in a small town, nothing extravagant. My parents died in a car crash when I was a child and I lived with my relatives until I was in university where I moved into the dorms. There’s nothing really interesting about my life." I chuckled nervously.
Isabella nodded, her eyes glinting with a hidden agenda. It was as if she wanted to know more than just the surface details of my life.
Isabella: "And how did you and Dante meet? It must have been quite a fateful encounter."
I hesitated for a moment, considering how much I wanted to reveal.
Isabella was family, after all, but there was an air of expectancy surrounding her that made me cautious and afraid of saying the wrong thing.
How would I tell her I met her son at a club, and we fucked the same night?
"We crossed paths at an event. It was a chance encounter, but it sparked something between us." I said instead.
Isabella leaned in slightly, her curiosity evident.
"And what is it about Dante that draws you to him?" She questioned.
“Was it his looks? His status? His wealth?”
Her question caught me off guard.
It felt as if she were trying to probe into the depths of my emotions and determine whether my feelings for her son were true or not.
I didn’t know what she was expecting to hear but if she was expecting to hear me say something superficial, then I was going to prove her wrong.
"Dante is an incredibly intelligent and driven man. He has a strong presence, and his determination is inspiring. But what drew me to him most was his kindness and the way he treated me.”
Isabella nodded, her gaze lingering on me for a moment longer than necessary.
It took a lot of willpower to not fidget under her gaze.
As our conversation continued, Isabella shared bits and pieces of her own life.
I couldn't help but wonder if there was a deeper motive behind her sharing these personal experiences with me.
It was as if she were testing the waters, trying to get something from me, but I didn’t know what it was.
Even though Dante had expressed his love for me and could do whatever he wanted, I still wanted his mother’s approval of our relationship.
