The Hidden Dragon In-Law

At this point, Christopher Xiao suddenly became emotional.

He stared deeply into Maria Han's eyes and said passionately, "Maria, I'm not joking with you. Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart. In the past twenty-plus years since you left, I haven't been happy for even a moment. We're not getting any younger, so why can't we cast aside our reservations and passionately pursue true love?"

Maria Han sighed softly, "Christopher, I've thought about everything you said, and to be honest, I've fantasized about it too. But the situation now is different from before. The thing I hate most in my life is being the third party, so I don't want to become one myself. Let's not rush this. Give me some time, and I'll give you some time too."

Christopher Xiao hurriedly asked, "If I divorce Elizabeth Ma, would you be willing to be with me?"

Maria Han's beautiful eyes, with a few fine wrinkles, gazed steadily at Christopher Xiao as she said seriously, "Christopher, I admit that a big reason for my return to the country was to see you again and hopefully rekindle our past relationship."

Then, she shifted her tone and continued, "However, we're not 18 or even 20 anymore. We need to think things through carefully. Whether I'm willing to be with you is something I can't answer right now. Once you're truly single, and we've spent some time together, I'll give you a serious answer."

Christopher Xiao blurted out without hesitation, "I'm willing, a thousand times willing, a million times willing."

Maria Han said earnestly, "Christopher, I also hope you seriously consider Elizabeth Ma and your marriage. Think about whether there's still love between you two. If there is, I'll bless you as I did before; if not, you must clarify things with her as soon as possible. I know your character well; if you hesitate, you'll only bring chaos upon yourself."
