I had enough of the disappointment and replied calmly, "Mom, whether you agree or not, I'm spending my own money. I took care of Thomas and you for months while I was pregnant. I may not have contributed in labor, but I've certainly put in my share of effort. Now I just want a little peace; I'm not bothering anyone!"

Melanie's breathing grew heavier. "Fine, then don't ask me for help with anything from now on, and don't come back to this house!"

After that, I really didn't return to that so-called home for months.

Until my water broke, the nanny took me to the hospital, and since the hospital required a family member's signature, I had to bring my mother-in-law along.

I figured she must be holding a grudge against me and used this method to annoy me.

After a while, my husband, Thomas, rushed back.

In addition to my husband, there was also his smiling mother behind him.

Looking at his angry face, I couldn't help but think that his mother must have asked her son to support her.

"Nina, I haven't come back in the past few months because I've been busy. Is this how you treat our mother?" Thomas shouted at me without even asking for the reason.
