"You're right. What if I have a boy?"
"We'll have a boy in our family now!"
After saying that, she hurriedly stood up and walked towards the room.
I watched my mom walk with a triumphant look on her face.
This time, I won't persuade you anymore. I have learned to respect your fate.
I heard her voice talking to my dad in the room.
I knew that they would definitely keep the boy alive.
For many years, I was the only child of my parents, not because they didn't want to have more, but because they couldn't.
Every time my mom got pregnant for a few months, she would have a miscarriage.
That's why she hated me so much after losing the only possible son.
My mom pulled my dad and hurriedly walked out. When she saw me sitting on the sofa, she was stunned, "Why haven't you left yet?"
My dad pulled my mom and signaled her that she said the wrong thing.
My mom looked a bit embarrassed.
I chuckled lightly, "I'll be back soon. The company has been busy lately. Mom, take care of yourself."
My dad casually nodded, "Okay, we got it."
I didn't stay at home for long before my dad called me back.
He said we were going to have a dinner.
It seemed that they already knew that it might be a boy.
Arriving at the private room in the restaurant, I saw my mom sitting on the sofa in the middle like a queen.
She even supported her waist with one hand.
My dad was laughing heartily on the other side, bragging to our relatives while smoking everywhere.
He completely ignored my mom, who was holding her baby bump and coughing from the smoke.
When she saw me, my mom quickly gave me a pleading look.
She wanted me to stop my dad.
I pretended not to see and silently chose a seat farthest away from them.
Cherished life and stayed away from secondhand smoke.
My mom's face stiffened, but she couldn't say anything in public.
She could only silently endure everything.
After a while, it seemed like everyone just noticed me.
"Rachel is here. You have grown up so much."
My dad looked at me with the eyes of that relative. "Of course, she's already working. In the future, when her younger brother is born, she can help us."
"This is your only younger brother."
I kept the smile on my face when I heard what my dad said.
Shame on you!
I knew they would come up with this.
Apart from not wanting to let go of their hard-earned son, they must think I can provide them.
