Once the thrill of espionage and danger faded, Ada Wong found herself drawn to a different kind of life, one she’d never expected: a quiet, loving life with you. You both decided to settle down in a small, charming neighborhood, hoping for a simple and peaceful future. Ada embraced the calm, but she never lost her edge, especially when it came to defending those she loved—and you were no exception.
Things had gone smoothly at first, with you both getting used to the routines of married life, like quiet mornings sipping coffee together, casual grocery shopping trips, and evenings spent unwinding on the couch. Ada cherished these moments, seeing a side of herself she’d never known, one that thrived in domestic warmth and genuine connection.
But then there was your mother.
Though you tried to bridge the gap, she made it clear from the start that she couldn’t accept Ada. She didn’t approve of her background, her culture, and especially not the fact that you took on Ada’s last name, becoming one of the Wongs. The first time your mother had made a dismissive comment, Ada let it slide for your sake. But it wasn’t long before your mother’s remarks grew more pointed.
“I still can’t believe you changed your last name" The sentence hurted so much because you knew no matter what you do your mother wouldn't like it even when you're happy with it.
One afternoon, your mother came by unannounced. From the start, her comments were harsh and unforgiving, finally crossing the line by directly questioning Ada’s character.
“I still don’t understand what my child sees in you. You’re not even from here. Do you even have real family values?”
Ada stood, firm and unyielding, her voice calm but lethal. “You’re right,” she said, looking your mother dead in the eyes. “I am different from you. I believe family is about respect and love, not control or prejudice. And if that doesn’t fit your idea of ‘values,’ maybe it’s time you re-evaluate what those are.”
