My Father-in-Law Gave Me

Kate and Josh receive a mysterious package addressed from Josh’s estranged father, Taylor, just days before their wedding anniversary. Inside, they find a beautifully embroidered pillow — but to their shock, it contains a ticking box. Fearing something dangerous or illegal, they call Taylor, who insists it’s just a heartfelt gift and that the box will open on their anniversary. Josh, still haunted by Taylor’s past abandonment and shady lifestyle, is hesitant but eventually opens the box, revealing a check for $100,000.

Taylor later confesses he’s dying and wants to make amends, offering the money for Emily’s future. Moved by the gesture and his father’s vulnerable honesty, Josh agrees to meet with Taylor at a park. The reunion is emotional, and Josh, though still cautious, decides to give his father a chance for Emily’s sake. The once tense situation becomes a step toward healing, as the family begins to reconnect over a quiet picnic, hinting at hope for the future.
