Eliza, still mourning her late husband John, felt a heavy burden as she visited his grave, promising to protect her son Adam and ensure his happiness. As she prepared to meet Adam’s girlfriend, Helen, her anticipation quickly soured into horror upon realizing Helen was significantly older than her son.

Despite Adam’s efforts to reassure her, Eliza’s prejudice took over. She went to great lengths, preparing an elaborate meal and buying expensive gifts, only to be dismayed when Helen, who was twice Adam’s age, arrived. Eliza’s initial reaction was one of disdain, and she hurled insults at Helen, accusing her of trying to use her son.

Helen, who had previously been supportive of women in tough situations through her blog, was devastated by Eliza’s harsh words and left, breaking off her relationship with Adam. Eliza, feeling guilty, later discovered Helen’s blog and realized her mistakes, including the tragic truth that Helen had lost her husband.

As Adam arrived, surprised to see Helen and his mother working together, Eliza’s regret turned to hope. She realized the error of her ways and embraced Helen, eager to support her son’s happiness and build a positive relationship with his partner.

In the end, Eliza’s journey from shock and prejudice to understanding and redemption highlighted the importance of openness and empathy in accepting the people our loved ones cherish.
