Mail Ordered Bride

Part 7

I am looking forward to going to the carnival this afternoon with Becky because it will be the first time that I have been to a carnival in a long time. There have been a few travel circuses that have came to Bangkok but we could not afford to go because it cost too much to sit in the stands but father and mother took us to attend one once. There was lot of animals and circus performers there and it was quite fun but I never been back to see one because we had to use the money for the necessities. I am excited to what an American carnival looks like and I will see what my new surroundings look like now that the gamer has given me permission to leave the apartment to explore. I know that Becky said that I do not have to ask for permission to leave as long as I let her know that I am leaving and that is not asking a lot. I am looking forward to all of these new experiences and what may come of them.

I woke up extra early that morning to cook the gamer something extra special and I may have gone a little over board since she did say that we are going to eat something there. Becky walks into the kitchen to see that I made a lot of food as a little bit of drool leaks out of the corner of her mouth. I giggle a little before leading her to the table as place food onto her plate and she engorge herself on it. I take enough for me to get full for now but enough to get hungry later today when the doorbell rings. I get up to answer as Becky washes the dishes left on the table. I open the door to see that it is Richard and he is more casual clothes then the last time that I saw him and it is with his wife, Mrs. Armstrong. She smiles at me as I let them into the apartment and they looked around the place with shocked expression on their faces before turning to face me.

"It's been a long time since I see you. It's good to see you, Freen" Mrs. Armstrong said pulling me into a hug.

"The apartment looks amazing, I've never seen it so clean. Are we in the right apartment?" Richard asked jokingly.

"Ha ha very funny, Dad" Becky deadpanned.

"Relax Becky, I was only kidding" Richard said wrapping his arm around Becky's neck.

"See that you have finally decided to clean up your apartment" Mrs. Armstrong said looking around.

"Actually this all Freen's doing. She's done all of the cleaning and the reason why my apartment is so clean" Becky said smiling.

"Wow, I'm like this girl more and more" Mrs. Armstrong said smiling in my direction.

I feel my cheeks turning bright pink as both women smile at me and give some compliments. I do not think that I am doing anything out of the ordinary because it is was a good wife should do and take care of the home. My mother taught me that from a very young age as well as other skills that a dutiful wife should know and I do not want Becky to have any reason to send me back to my country. I know that the gamer has said that she will not send me back but I cannot help but feel that she was only saying that to gain my trust. I do not want to be doubtful of my wife but I cannot help it.

"It was nothing" I said looking away bashfully.

"Awww she is so cute" Mrs. Armstrong said hugging me.

"Mom, will you stop embarrassing her?" Becky said reprimanding her mother.

"I am sorry but she is the cutest thing" Mrs. Armstrong said taking my face in her hands.

"Okay enough of you freakin out my friend" Becky said pulling me away from her mother.

"You are right Becky and I am sorry Freen if I made you uncomfortable. It was not my intention" Mrs. Armstrong said apologetically.

"it is q-quite alright" I said wringing my hands together.

I was not expecting that kind of reaction from the older woman since I have not interacted with her much since Becky's birthday party and I do not know what to expect from her. This is going to be my future mother-in-law and I want to make a good impression on her.
