yep that's right
I didn’t really pay attention but is the reason the messages also stop because the father in law passed away?
Yee
The messages stopped because he was worried she would want to meet up with her mother and then she’ll find out it wasn’t really her. The last message was when she was going to get married so I guess he was worried she’ll invite her “mom” to her wedding.
Well... The penguin husband also said "late father in law" soooo he's likely dead. So even if the husband wanted to talk to him to send those messages again, he wouldn't be able to... Her only family now is him and their kid
So the penguin’s father in law was pretending to be the penguins mother in law in all the messages. And the reason he was doing that was because his wife cheated and was leaving their daughter alone and said she was fine not contacting her again because she was going to start a new family. But they did actually find the mom living in the next prefecture. Is that all correct?
