A woman in her fifties,Mrs.Thompson,brought back a 30-year-old boyfriend.
In the middle of the night,her boyfriend,Jack,pried open my bedroom door.
But when Mrs.Thompson found out,she protected him everywhere.

Later,unexpectedly,Mrs.Thompson went crazy.
"I have great news to tell you all.I'm in a relationship!"
More than a month ago,my 53-year-old mother-in-law,Mrs.Thompson,announced with a shy look on her face at the dinner table.
My husband,Michael,and I exchanged a glance,both of us a bit surprised.
However,upon reflection,Mrs.Thompson had been a widow for most of her life.Now that she was getting old,it was actually quite nice for her to find someone to keep her company.After all,children couldn't be by her side all the time.
Michael put down the bowl he was using to feed our little son,David,and said sincerely,"Mom,Dad has been lying in the hospital for most of his life.It wasn't easy for you to raise me all by yourself.I fully support your decision to find a partner."

"Honey,don't you think so?"Michael looked at me with gentle eyes.
I nodded,"Of course!"
Although I had quarreled with my mother-in-law from time to time,I also hoped that she could find her own happiness in my heart.
I casually asked,"So,Mom,what does your partner do for a living?How old is he?Where is he from?"

Mrs.Thompson's face suddenly changed.She looked at me somewhat unhappily,and then a shy look spread across her face,just like an 18-year-old girl.
"You'll find out in a couple of days."
Michael and I exchanged another glance and smiled.Could this partner be some mysterious figure?
