"Your dad starts beating us after drinking. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came to your brother's place."
"But your brother's new girlfriend dislikes the smell of me from working at the restaurant, so he kicked me out."
It was the same topic as in the previous life.
I was impatient before and drove the company's warehouse car to pick her up without waiting for her to finish speaking.
I drove for ten hours overnight to get there, but she complained that I picked her up in a van worth only a few thousand dollars.
"Monica, why did you come to pick me up in this kind of car? Too slow."
I smiled apologetically and adjusted the passenger seat cushion, "Sorry, Mom. Besides, the van has more space."
But she stuffed her bag, opened the back door, and got in.
"It takes more than ten hours to get to New York. I'll sleep in the back for more comfort. Take your time, Monica. We're not in a hurry."
I could only nod and say, "Okay."
"But that was in the past. Now..."
I asked coldly, "So what?"
"I want you to come pick me up. I want to stay with you for a while."
Their true intentions were exposed.
It seemed that they knew about me buying a villa before they came to me.
