Chapter 402: Chapter 396 Mother-in-law Evaluates Son-in-law Part 3

As she pushed her thoughts aside, Amelia Lee invited Finn Lewis, who had changed into slippers, into the living room. After he settled on the sofa, Finn quickly handed over the tea leaves he had brought: “Auntie, I brought two boxes of health tea, they’re good for the body.” Finn didn’t go into too much detail and seeing just two boxes of tea, Amelia didn’t think it was anything valuable and accepted them with a smile: “I’ll gladly take it.”

“Little Lewis, where is your family from?” Once settled, Amelia got straight to the point.

“Mum, at least let him have a drink first. You’re not conducting a census here,” Kay Lee said, slightly embarrassed.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, Auntie, my family is from the Manchester area,” Finn quickly replied.

“Hello City?” Amelia asked with a smile.

“No, Bayan Nur City,” Finn responded with a laugh.

“Oh, what do your parents do?” Amelia continued to inquire.

“My parents are currently in Hello City, not currently working. They haven’t had much education, so finding an easy job is challenging, but I don’t want them doing anything too strenuous. My company is now on the right track, so I don’t want them to suffer unnecessarily,” Finn said straightforwardly without hiding anything.

Amelia couldn’t help but take a moment to appreciate Finn’s candour. Few people could comfortably admit their parents’ lack of education. It would either require an incredibly open personality or a great deal of confidence and self-assurance. But many people, even those who possess both traits, wouldn’t openly admit it because they value their pride.

But Finn did so without hesitation. When he spoke of his parents, the smile that emerged on his face was evidently sincere, and his candour about their situation was refreshing. For this alone, Amelia found Finn to be an honest and down-to-earth individual.

“Nowadays, there aren’t many young people as devoted as you are,” Amelia said with a chuckle.

“Kay’s sense of devotion is superior to mine,” Finn replied with a smile. He wasn’t just being flattering; before Kay became successful, she and her mother had to rely on each other for survival. At one point, when Amelia was sickly and housebound, Kay single-handedly managed to get them through this challenging period by working part-time jobs.

“Both of you are such good kids,” Amelia’s face broke into a warm smile. She felt incredibly proud of Kay.

“I heard from Kay that you started a gaming company. What made you choose this field?” Amelia continued her questioning.

“I studied Computer Software Engineering at university, and with smartphones being a trend for the foreseeable future, I believe there’s a significant market for mobile games,” Finn replied. He wasn’t exactly lying, given that both WY and T companies have made inroads into the mobile gaming market.

“Oh, I see. For someone your age, it’s impressive that you’ve managed to start a business of this magnitude. But as you should already know, Kay’s career can be very demanding. Later, if the two of you decide to marry, would you be able to cope with her potentially being away from home for months on end?” Amelia asked earnestly. This was a pressing matter.

After all, Flame Nation is a fairly traditional country, especially when it comes to gender roles. Many people believe it’s a woman’s duty to keep the home fires burning. Many female celebrities have chosen to quit the entertainment industry post-marriage to focus on homemaking.

“I can handle it,” Finn replied with a slight nod.

“Take some time to think it over. It’s a crucial matter for both of you,” Amelia continued. Kay had already retreated to her bedroom, too embarrassed to stay.

“Don’t worry, Auntie, I’m aware of what I’m committing to.” Finn reassured her.

“Alright, I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s your life, I won’t interfere. But you must understand the industry Kay works in. There are all sorts of gossip in the entertainment industry, especially online. I hope if you come across anything you shouldn’t, you’d clarify the situation before reacting,” Amelia couldn’t help but remind him.

Finn understood all too well what Amelia was referring to. After nodding his acknowledgement, he reassured her: “Don’t worry, Auntie. I know what rumors are.”

Having gotten off to a good start, Finn felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He lingered at Amelia’s home for a while longer before it was time for dinner. Only then did Kay emerge from her room, “Auntie, Kay, I’ll wait for you in the car.” Finn knew Amelia and Kay must have things to discuss privately, so he tactfully excused himself.

Sure enough, Amelia did not try to stop him. Only after he had left did Kay nervously say, “Mom, you have to admit, Finn is a good guy. And, you interrogated him like he was a suspect.”

“Hehe, it’s okay, sweetheart. He’s a decent guy, not pretentious, says what he means. But most importantly, you have to decide for yourself. If you truly love him, I won’t object to your relationship. However, there’s something else I have to ask you,” Amelia contemplated before continuing.

“What is it?” Relief washed over Kay when she heard her mother’s response.

“What’s with the slippers? Why would you have a pair specifically for him? You two aren’t living together, are you?” Amelia asked, staring directly at Kay.

“Mom,” Kay blushed and called out in an embarrassed tone.

“Kay, I may be old, but I’m not naive. You know the gossip mills of the entertainment industry. If the wrong people get wind of this, who knows what kind of scandals they might come up with. Besides, there’s another critical issue—you’re familiar with my past. I don’t want history repeating itself. I don’t object to the two of you being together, but the last thing I want is for you to face the same tragedy I did,” Amelia’s eyes welled up as she spoke.

“Mother, what on earth are you doing?” Kay quickly went over to wipe away her mother’s tears before hurriedly reassuring her, “Nothing happened between us, he has been very respectful.”

Finn didn’t have to wait for long downstairs before Kay and Amelia made their appearance. Olivia Thatcher’s car, though high-end, didn’t seem too extravagant, and Amelia didn’t think too much of it kay, naturally, wouldn’t drive, choosing instead to join her mother in the passenger’s seat of the car, as Finn turned on the ignition.
