A man was shocked to see his mother-in-law sitting next to his boss in his car a day after he kicked her out. \u201cOh my God!\u201d the man gasped. He had no idea how his mother-in-law had become friends with his boss.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Even after working tirelessly for the past two decades, Jack believed he hadn\u2019t achieved enough to call himself a successful man.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At 43, he still thought he could do much better, but his wife, Laura, thought otherwise.<\/p>\n

He met Laura at work, but she later resigned and started her own business. Since she was a marketing graduate from one of the best business schools in the country, she knew how to attract customers with little effort.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When Jack saw her business flourish, he felt intimidated and developed an inferiority complex. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can ever be as good as her,\u201d he would tell himself.<\/p>\n

After tying the knot with Laura, Jack felt her parents didn\u2019t like her because he wasn\u2019t as rich as them. Laura came from a wealthy family, while Jack\u2019s parents were not that rich.<\/p>\n

However, Laura always told Jack it was all in his head and that her parents had nothing against him.<\/p>\n

Jack\u2019s insecurity grew with time, but he never listened to his wife. To cope with his feelings of unworthiness, he paid more attention to his work and tried his best to get a promotion.<\/p>\n

He would spend most of his day at his office and come home late every night.<\/p>\n

One day, Jack\u2019s wife called him at work and told him something unexpected. \u201cJack\u2026<\/p>\n

Please come home right now,\u201d Laura said in a shaky voice. \u201cDad passed away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh no!\u00a0<\/i>Jack thought and immediately left his workplace.<\/p>\n

He consoled his wife and helped with the funeral arrangements. A few days later, Laura told Jack she wanted her mother to live with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack, you know my mother has been feeling lonely after dad\u2019s death,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve offered her to stay here with us, and if\u2015\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?<\/p>\n

How can you do that without asking me?\u201d Jack looked at his wife with his eyes wide open.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would I ask you? She\u2019s my mother, and she needs me right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what?<\/p>\n

You could have thought of something else. I don\u2019t want her to stay at our house.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut why?\u201d Laura frowned.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, Laura,\u201d Jack shook his head. \u201cThat won\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two days later, Laura\u2019s mother, Melissa, called her and said she was ready to move in with them.<\/p>\n

Laura was Melissa\u2019s only child, so she had no option except to live with her daughter until she felt she was ready to live alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s great, Mom!\u201d Laura exclaimed while talking to her mother on the phone. \u201cJack and I will pick you up this evening, okay?<\/p>\n

Love you!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWas that your mom?\u201d Jack asked after Laura ended the call.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes. She\u2019s ready to move in with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you understand I don\u2019t want her in my house?\u201d Jack yelled.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Laura looked at her husband in shock. \u201cCalm down, Jack.<\/p>\n

You need to think about this calmly,\u201d she told him. \u201cI\u2019m her only child, and she needs my help. She will leave in a few months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think she\u2019s ever going to leave!\u201d Jack yelled and stomped out of the bedroom.<\/p>\n

Once Melissa moved in, Jack tried his best to annoy her so she would leave soon. He would pick fights with her purposely and often argued with her.<\/p>\n

One day, Jack was attending an online meeting with his boss from his bedroom when Melissa suddenly barged in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Jack. But you won\u2019t be getting a promotion this year,\u201d Jack\u2019s boss told him.<\/p>\n

Jack forced a smile and finished the meeting with his boss. Then, he turned around and was shocked to see Melissa in his room.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing here? Were you listening to my conversation with my boss?\u201d he asked her.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, dear,\u201d Melissa replied softly. \u201cI was waiting for you to end the call.<\/p>\n

I came here to tell you dinner\u2019s ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know why you were here!\u201d Jack yelled and stormed past his mother-in-law. \u201cLaura! Look, your mom is spying on me!\u201d<\/p>\n

He went downstairs and told Laura what had happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cAsk her to leave out right now, Laura! I won\u2019t tolerate this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not possible, Jack,\u201d Laura replied calmly.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, I need you to kick her out before Christmas,\u201d he told her. \u201cI won\u2019t let her ruin my Xmas dinner. You need to send her back home on Christmas Eve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, Jack\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to hear any excuses, Laura.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve given this plenty of time and thought,\u201d he said and stomped out of the house.<\/p>\n

Laura knew she couldn\u2019t argue with her husband anymore, so she tearfully asked her mother to go back on Christmas Eve. The next day, Jack was happy because his mother-in-law wasn\u2019t around.<\/p>\n

He decorated the house and ordered Laura\u2019s favorite food for dinner.<\/p>\n

While sitting at the dinner table with Laura, Jack suddenly heard a car park in their driveway. \u201cWho\u2019s that?\u201d he asked Laura.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d she shrugged.<\/p>\n

Jack went to the door and was shocked to see Melissa sitting beside his boss, Matt, in the car he recognized as his boss\u2019. \u201cHi, Jack!\u201d Melissa waved as she got out of the vehicle. \u201cHi, Melissa,\u201d he smiled awkwardly before looking at Matt with his eyes wide open.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease come in!\u201d Laura said and welcomed her mother and Matt inside.<\/p>\n

Once everyone sat at the dinner table, Jack asked Melissa what was happening. \u201cHow do you know Matt?\u201d he asked curiously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have known this boy for decades, Jack!\u201d Melissa chuckled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to work as a secretary for his father when he was a kid. I even babysat him a couple of times when his father wasn\u2019t around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melissa also told Jack she saw Matt while he was talking to him on a video call. \u201cI immediately recognized him when I saw him on your laptop screen that day,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?<\/p>\n

Really?\u201d Jack gasped. He couldn\u2019t believe what his mother-in-law had just told him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Jack,\u201d Matt smiled. \u201cI had no idea Melissa was your mother-in-law.<\/p>\n

Such a small world, no?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, this is very surprising,\u201d Laura laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know why we\u2019re here, Jack?\u201d Matt asked sternly.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have dinner with us, right?\u201d Jack smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have one!\u201d Matt said.<\/p>\n

It turns out, Melissa put a good word in for her son-in-law with his boss.<\/p>\n

She told him how hard-working and deserving he was. As a result, Matt decided to promote Jack. \u201cYou\u2019ve earned it, Jack!\u201d Matt smiled and shook Jack\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe this!\u201d Jack looked at his wife. \u201cDid you know your mother talked to my boss?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Jack,\u201d Melissa smiled. \u201cMom told me she would come for dinner tonight with Matt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack was over the moon after learning that Matt had promoted him.<\/p>\n

He thought this was the best Christmas present and thanked his boss and mother-in-law for making his dream come true.<\/p>\n

Later that night, Jack apologized to Melissa for being rude and allowed her to stay in his house for as long as she wanted. \u201cYou\u2019re the best mother-in-law I could have asked for!\u201d he told her.<\/p>\n
