Chapter 41 Being Mrs Thompson Comes With Circumstances

• "You are only permitted to assist your husband at work," Mrs Thompson said, her voice firm but controlled. "I didn't work; I only assisted my husband with work. When he died, I took over the family business and trained Andrew."
• Astrid's eyes narrowed. "Well, I'm not married yet, so I'm free to work."
• Mrs Thompson's expression turned stern, her eyes flashing with disapproval. "You're not going to any place called work. You're getting married next week, yet you don't know the basics."
