Chapter 1: Mother-In-Law meets the Daughter-In-Law

Laura's POV:

I carried my little sister, Cara in my arms and headed towards the ticket counter whereas, Ash and her little brother, Jonah walked behind us hand in hand. We reached near the ticket counter only to find a long queue in front of us. Waiting for about 10 minutes in the queue, we finally made it to the ticket desk and took our tickets.

We had an off day so, Ash and I thought of bringing our siblings to the amusement park.

"Ash let's go and sit over there," I said pointing towards the white bench which was placed under a huge tree near the fence of the massive garden.

We all sat down on the bench and we're deciding which ride to take first.

"Mommy let's go and play with Snow White and the dwarfs over there" card said excitedly pointing towards the people dressed up as the cartoon characters. She held my finger and pulled me towards them.

"slow down, sweetie or you might fall," I said trying to slow down her pace. We reached there and Cara started playing with them. The one wearing snow white's costume picked her up in her arms and started tickling her. Cara was enjoying and having fun. Soon after, Ash and Jonah joined us as well.

"so Jonah, what do you wanna play?" Ash said looking down at her brother.

"I wanna ride on the Ferris wheel," Jonah said pointing his finger at the Ferris wheel which was few metres away from us. Our jaws dropped listening to his reply. I must say he is a strong kid.

"Ther's no way I am letting you ride it. It's for adults. And you are too young to ride on it. Do you get me? As explained in a high pitched tone to Jonah.

Poor little thing! Ash always gets Jonah to stop making unreasonable demands by using this tone. But, I think she needs to be a little gentler to him.

" Ash, you do this every time. just look at his puppy face...and Jonah, don't be sad. Your sister is Right. You are too young to ride on that gain wheel. But you are not young for the horse ride."I said, picking him up in my arms and walking towards the horse ride. His eyes beamed with happiness.

He jumped on the plastic horse, excitedly.

The horse ride started moving. And eventually, it's speed started increasing. I could see Jonah was having fun. Ash came carrying Cara in her arms and stood beside me.

"Cara, look! Your prince is coming to get you" Jonah said looking towards cara when his horse ride came to a halt in front of us.

"Mommy, Ashely, look my prince has come," cara said, excitedly.

Ash and I burst into laughter. Now that's really cute.

"Laura, I guess you need to start planning for your sister's and my brother's wedding....look they make such a cute pair," Ash said putting Cara behind Jonah on the back of the horse. Cara held his waist tightly.

"They really do make a great pair. But I am in no rush to get my little sister married anytime soon" I said giggling.

I took out my phone from my pocket and clicked their photos. We also took some selfies. And Ash's expressions were no less than a joker. And her pouts can bring any fish to shame.

"Aww! they are are soo cute just like their mothers," someone said from behind us. We both turned around.

There stood an old lady probably in her 50's. She was wearing a navy blue overcoat with white leggings. Even in casual attire, she looked elegant and classy.

She walked towards us holding the hand of a little boy maybe around 6 followed by two bodybuilders looking, men. Both in black suits had a blue tooth receiver in their ears.

She came closer to us and stopped. She really looked awed.

"Ladies, you both have really cute and adorable kids. But, you two look soo is young to have kids. I must say, you've maintained your figures well". The old lady said to us. Ash chuckled hearing that.

It's not a new thing. Many people have misunderstood me and cara as mother and daughter because she calls me mommy. She had called me mommy since she had started speaking.

"Actually ma'am, they are not our kids. she is my little sister and he is her little brother," I explained the old last pointing towards Cara and Jonah who were enjoying their ride on the horse.

She sighed hearing that

why?

"Oh! I thought that..." she drifted off in her thoughts.

"Anyways, nice to see how you take care of your siblings" she continued.

"Hello, I am Brenda Adams. Nice to meet you both. And here is my grandson, josh." she said, shaking her hands with us and introducing her grandson.

He looked similar to Jonah. The only difference is that Jonah and seemed more fun-loving than him.

"Nice to meet you too, Mrs Adams and hey there, Mr.little Adams!" I said lowering down to shake hands with the little boy.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs Adams," Ash said shaking Mrs Adams hand.

"Nice meeting you too. And he is the son of my elder daughter, Cameron. He is josh park" Mrs Adam corrected with a warm smile.

"Oh!" we both said together

"Grandma, I too want to ride the horse with them. Please!" Josh said pointing towards cara and Jonah.

"Of course, My little one!..paul, could you please help him ride on the horse's back," Mrs Adams told one of her bodyguards, politely.

Meanwhile, We all headed towards the nearer bench and sat. The other bodyguard stood beside Mrs Adams.

Andy dear Ash couldn't stop herself ogling at him.

Typical Ashley!

"What about your parents? aren't they here with you guys?" asked Mrs Adams with a smile.

It felt a little odd to talk about our personal lives with someone we've just met. But, she seemed to be a quite genuine person with me.

"My parents are out of town so I am babysitting my annoying brother," Ash said with a slight chuckle.

"And what about you, Miss," she asked.

I hesitated a bit but then decided to speak.

"My name is Laura Jones, Mrs Adams. Actually, my parents aren't with us anymore. They passed away in a car accident a few years ago" I said with a sad voice.

My eyes got moistened talking about my parent's death.

"I am sorry to her, that. Well, I can see you are a strong and responsible girl" Mrs Adams said holding my hand in hers and rubbing it gently.

I smiled looking at her.

"Ma'am, I just got a call from sir. He wants you home right away. he has a very important thing to discuss with you. Shall we?" Her bodyguard informed to Mrs Adams.

"Okay, Landon.Thanks! go and inform Paul and josh as well. I am coming" Mrs Adam told Landon.

"sure ma'am," he said while nodding his head. He then marched towards the horse ride. Ash was still drooling over him and was about to follow him when I held her hands tightly and gave her a warning look. she gave me a puppy look.

"Okay then! see you, pretty ladies, around. It was a pleasure meeting you both," Mrs Adams said while standing up.

"same here Mrs Adams," I said while extending my hand for a handshake. To my surprise, she pulled me into a light hug. It was a warm hug.

"You are really a perfect girl for me... I mean...I would really love to see you around" she whispered into my ears. I gave her a confused look yet managed to smile.

what did she mean?

She said goodbye and walked towards the ride.

"Laura, isn't she a kind woman, Laura? she's really a sweetheart and she's so elegant, must be a wealthy businesswoman. what do you think Laura"Ash asked without averting her eyes from Mrs Adams?

" Yup! It seems so. I like her"I said honestly.

We walked towards the ride Cara and Jonah really enjoyed the ride.

Cara was already asleep leaning on jonah's back. Whereas her little prince was trying his best to not letting his princess fall.

It was an amazing thing to watch.

"come on sleeping beauty! Time to go to the castle." I said gently picking cara in my arms.

"She is so pretty when she is asleep!" Jonah exclaimed.

"...my brother is a total flirt. He has taken on me," Ash said proudly while I rolled my eyes.

"By the way Laura, did you see two men in black? They looked soo hot" Ash said, dreamily.

"Men in black?" I ask confused.

"I am talking about Mrs Adams bodyguards, Paul and land on. Weren't they hot"

"yeah, maybe. I don't know" I said uninterested.

"You are soo boring Laura. There's no spice in your life. You need to enjoy your life and be happy" Ash saidd In a complaining tone.

"Enjoy my life? I surely am! Trust me.Ash, I am enjoying my life more than anyone and for happiness, I have you guys in it and talking about spice, I don't like spices. Now let's go" I said walking towards the exit gate .Ash rolled her eyes and followed me with jonah.
