I'm Leaving My Mother to You

The Plaza Hotel.

Wedding scene.

"Dad, Ross is over there. You should go and talk to him."

Monica sensed something was wrong and quickly sent her parents away.

"Serves you right for being so talkative!"

After Monica's parents left, Monica's mother complained, "What, have you had enough of being a man? Or have you noticed something wrong with Ross and want to know more about him?"

"Of course not."

Monica's father said dejectedly, "I was just being a normal person with curiosity, and I didn't even have a chance to pretend I didn't mind. This Adam, he used to be able to keep up with my humor, why is he like this this time!"

"You're being cheeky without considering the occasion! Adam is Chandler's best man, of course he has to side with Chandler and speak up for his mother."

Monica's mother retorted, "Besides, this is your daughter's wedding. We never imagined such an important day would come. We even spent Monica's wedding fund. Someone is willing to marry your daughter and even pay for the wedding. You should be secretly happy, but you're making her mother uncomfortable. What are you thinking?!"

"Well."

Monica's father was taken aback by the rebuttal; it seemed to be true.

Stop spacing out.

Monica's mother, seeing her stunned husband, grew even angrier. "Go check on Ross. Hopefully, this wedding didn't upset him. After all, he's been married and divorced three times already."

"Come on!"

Monica's father snapped out of his daze and said dismissively, "What's the big deal? He's not a woman, he's not that fragile..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw his wife staring intently at him. Only then did he realize that no one was appreciating his humor again, so he could only awkwardly reach out and pretend to zip up his mouth.

"Thanks."

After Monica's parents left, Nora's gaze fell on Adam.

"You are welcome."

Adam put his arm around Chandler and smiled.

Nora glanced at her son, whose physique, physique, and face, which had not become chubby but rather looked younger and more energetic due to his years of exercise, and whose custom-made dress accentuated his increasingly handsome appearance, and said with emotion, "As Chandler's mother, I still want to thank you for everything you have done for Chandler."

"I'm his best man."

Adam smiled and said, "It's what I should do."

Hi everyone.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice to see Chandler's father walking over in a 'seductive' manner, dressed in black stockings and women's clothing.

Nora's gentle gaze instantly froze.

"Hi, Dad~"

Chandler greeted him with a wry smile.

Although he had already resolved his inner conflicts with his parents, the thought of formally introducing his 'charming' father in front of 128 relatives and friends at his wedding was still a complex and difficult experience for him to describe.

"Hi, Mr. Bing."

Monica almost said the wrong thing and was extremely embarrassed.

Chandler's father Helena, didn't seem to mind. She smiled, looked at her ex-wife, and scrutinized her gold, tight-fitting, revealing outfit, saying with a hint of envy and jealousy, "Nora, don't you think you shouldn't be dressed like that at your age?"

"Don't you think there's an extra layer of clothing? You shouldn't be wearing it like this."

Nora retorted with her hands on her hips.

"Now I'm just like you, I don't have that thorn in my side anymore."

Helena was used to people talking about this. When he was a drag queen in Las Vegas, he often made fun of himself. Nora's mockery was nothing to him.

"Hi, Adam."

"Hi, Mr. Bin."

Adam laughed.

"Just call me Helena."

Chandler's father winked at Adam.

"Oh no!"

Adam's lips twitched, and he knew he was in trouble.

"Charles Dillie Bing!"

Sure enough, Nora immediately flew into a rage. "Remember who you are! Adam is Chandler's best man and best friend. If you still love your son, then shut up this slutty act!"

In the United States, calling someone by their full name, especially including their middle name, indicates that you are genuinely angry.

For example, Sheldon's mother usually dotes on Sheldon, but when she gets angry, as soon as she says "Sheldon Lee Cooper," Sheldon immediately obediently shouts "Yes, madam!"

Before Helena eloped with a man, when she was still called Charles and was Nora's husband, she had seen Nora with this expression more than once, so she should have been immune to it by now.

But that was more than ten years ago.

Now, more than ten years later, seeing Nora like this again, and with an anger that seemed even more intense than he remembered, he suddenly felt a little guilty and couldn't bring himself to retort with any righteous indignation.

"Don't get agitated."

Helena looked at everyone awkwardly. "Of course I love Chandler. I am only sincerely grateful for Adam's help to Chandler, and I have no other intentions."

Monica!

Chandler rubbed his forehead, his head throbbing.

"Mr. Bin, please come this way. Let me introduce my parents to you."

Monica quickly stepped forward and gestured for Helena to follow her.

Helena naturally took the opportunity to leave this awkward place.

"Adam, I'm sorry."

Chandler apologized, saying, "That's how my dad is."

"It's okay."

Adam patted Chandler on the shoulder, but looked at Nora: "He's used to performing in Las Vegas, so he just unconsciously projected himself into the role. I don't think he did it on purpose. He loves you and would never do anything to hurt you again."

"Mother."

Chandler nodded, gave Adam a grateful look, and then looked at Nora.

"I'm fine."

Nora forced a smile and said, "Today is your special day. We are all very happy, and nothing can destroy this happiness except yours."

"I'm very happy."

Chandler joked, "I'm happier as long as you guys are happy."

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

Nora turned her head away.

"Mrs. Bing, let me take you there."

Adam spoke up.

"Yes, let Adam take you there."

Chandler nodded and whispered in Adam's ear, "I'm leaving my mother in your care. Take good care of her."

"..."

Adam's lips twitched. Although he knew Chandler meant for him to take good care of Nora before the wedding, just like Monica took care of his father Helena, it sounded so strange.

"Mrs. Bing, over here."

Adam led Nora away from the ceremonial hall.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Nora couldn't help but call out, "Adam..."

"Mrs. Bing!"

Adam immediately interrupted, "We've arrived at the restroom."

As he spoke, he gave her a wink.

Nora paused, her eyes dimmed, and she gave Adam a deep look before reaching out to push the door open. Her hand had barely touched the bathroom door when it was pulled open from the inside.

Amanda.

Adam greeted them with a smile, then introduced them, "This is Chandler's mother, Nora. Nora, and this is Monica's grandmother Amanda."

Hello, Nora.

Hello, Amanda.

Nora forced a smile, shook hands with Monica's grandmother, and watched Adam and Amanda leave before going into the bathroom. Leaning against the wall, she covered her chest with her hand to calm her rapidly beating heart...
