Visiting in-laws (4)

After being in a daze for a second from being caught off guard by this, I quickly stood up and went over to help them up as I said, "Father in law, mother in law, there's no need for this."

Both of them looked up with smiles on their faces when they heard this before the duke said, "Hearing you call us this so readily really does make us happy. I hope that we can maintain this relationship in the future."

The duchess nodded in agreement to this.

"Mom, dad…" Veronica said in a touched voice.

I said with a nod, "Of course. I hope that we can have a good relationship in the future as well."

It seemed that I had been completely mistaken about the duke and duchess.

I had thought that they would look down on me since I was considered lower status than their daughter and would make it hard for me. I thought that I would have to pass some kind of test to get their approval to marry their daughter.
