After three years of dating, Esther finally met her boyfriend William\u2019s parents, expecting a warm welcome. However, what she experienced was unsettling enough to call off the engagement.\n
At the Hamiltons\u2019 home, Esther felt like an outsider as Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton showered William with overwhelming affection. \u201cOh, my baby! We\u2019ve missed you so much!\u201d Mrs. Hamilton exclaimed, ignoring Esther. During brunch, Mrs. Hamilton cut William\u2019s pancakes and praised him excessively for trivial things. \u201cWilliam, you always know the best shows to watch,\u201d she said, making Esther uneasy.\n
