Jason, noticing my sour face, came beside me and wrapped his arm around me. “Alright, I know it’s unfair to Ava, but we have no other choice. Okay, look. Remember, that barbie doll Ava wanted? I’ll buy it for her. I promise.”
I grabbed Ava’s hand and held it up in front of him. “Pay up, 36,000.”
“That’s outrageous! I have agreed to buy it, don’t expect me to pay for it.
“If you’re not paying,why did you even agree?”
I rolled my eyes at him and then gave a mocking smile. “Oh, I forgot, your monthly salary is only 2,500. Even your yearly salary wouldn’t cover it.”
His jaw clenched, but I didn’t care. Over the years, he had completely forgotten that I was the one supporting this family.
Everything the family wore, ate and lived inwas provided by me.
Not to mention the five million of debt and 100,000 of dowry.
Without me, this family would have no roof on their head and would be begging on the streets!
At that moment, suddenly Noah began whining. “I want fried chicken, I want fried chicken.”
My mother-in-law intervened us, her voice stern as she scolded me. “Can’t you see Noah wants fried chicken? Stop arguing with your husband and take care of the child. Really, you don’t understand anything.”
I let out a chuckle. I was too understanding and that’s the reason why this family were able to walk all over me.
“If he wants it, just order it. You’re his grandmother, you can’t be stingy.” I replied throwing a plastic smile at her.
Or is it this claiming him like your real grandson are just empty words?”
“Emma, how dare you talk to my mother like that?” Jason snapped. “Mom is getting older. How would she know how to order food online? Now please, do the needful.”
I feigned concern. “Oh, is it?! Mom, you didn’t tell me that you can’t use the internet. Our new house has all these smart home systems. Maybe you should then stay here only. It would be more comfortable for you. ”
“Who says I don’t know how to use the internet?” She rolled her eyes at her son.
“I’m a surfing pro! I know how to use every app, don’t think I’m not updated with today’s technology.”
“Well then, since you know how to use every app, why don’t you hurry up and order the fried chicken for Noah? Or is it that you don’t want to?”
