Hannah continued, "When I first saw you yesterday, I thought you were just a beautiful young woman who had somehow gotten involved with Sky."
She smiled apologetically.
"But after hearing you speak today... and after seeing the way you treated Sky yesterday..."
Her expression softened even further.
"I can tell you're kind."
Sienna blinked in surprise.
"You remained respectful even after I misunderstood you."
Hannah let out a quiet sigh.
"Not many young people would have shown me that much patience."
She smiled warmly.
"I'm grateful that my son married someone like you."
Sienna felt her eyes sting slightly. She hadn't expected to receive such complete acceptance from her mother-in-law so quickly.
"Thank you, Ma'am."
"You don't have to thank me." Hannah chuckled softly. "If anything, I'm the one who should thank you."
She looked at Sienna with unmistakable affection.
"Thank you for loving my son."
Sienna's cheeks warmed.
