"You are so impressive."

This abrupt change in Rachel Futton's attitude left Lola Hussey dumbfounded.

... Rachel Futton called her 'sister-in-law'?

Just as Lola was doubting whether she was overthinking things, Rachel Futton brought a glass of Coke to her. She held the glass with both hands very politely and courteously.

Lola wanted to say that she was pregnant and shouldn't drink Coke, but Rachel Futton beat her to it--

"Sister-in-law, if you find it hard to call me by my name, you can call me by my nickname, Sophie."

Lola immediately said, "Sophie sounds nice."

It really does sound nice.

Rachel Futton had a big smile on her face. "Right? I love my nickname too. It was given by my grandpa. But people usually call me Miss Futton or Rachel Futton outside, I wouldn't want strangers to call me Sophie. But you are family, you can call me Sophie."

People in the Futton family often had nicknames.
