“My parents have never blamed you. Dad said that now that we have our own families, we should prioritize our own little family. They have people taking care of them, so we don’t need to worry too much about them. That doesn’t mean we’re neglecting our parents.”
Duncan went back home two or three times a month and stayed for a few days each time, which was his way of spending time with his parents. However, compared with his brother and sister-in-law, who lived in Wiltspoon, he and Liberty naturally spent less time with them.
Duncan said, “My parents are very open-minded.”
At first, Liberty’s mother-in-law had strongly opposed her relationship with Duncan. But after Duncan’s accident, she took care of him and encouraged him to get back on his feet. Eventually, she changed her mind and stopped interfering.
Over the years, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had become as close as mother and daughter.
Now, when Liberty said her in-laws were open-minded, it was clear that she acknowledged how much they had changed.
They had kept their word.
