265 Future mother in-law or not?

Jeremy returned to his room and found Ellie laughing loudly while on a video call with someone. He peeked at the screen of his laptop and waved at the woman Ellie was speaking with, "Hello Mrs Wesley."

"Maria." She corrected with an eye roll. "I keep reminding you every single time." 

He sat on the bed so Ellie shifted to the side to give him a chance to speak with her. 

"How are you doing? Ellie was just giving me some updates about you." She said with a sly wink that made him embarrassed.

"Ignore whatever she says. You know how dramatic she can be."

"Hey! I told her the truth." Ellie rushed to say.

"So... you kissed Chloe?" Maria asked. 

"She kissed me!" He corrected out of impulse before shaking his head, "I mean... nothing like that happened. How did you even know about it?" He turned to ask Ellie.

Maria shook her head. He was such a terrible liar. Just now, everything he said contradicted each other.
