I put on a fake smile. "You're wrong. I only earn a little money every month. I'm afraid I can't even afford diapers."

"It's already good enough that I'm not asking for your support."

"By the way, I've been thinking about renting a house closer to my company. The current one is too far away. Mom, Dad, can you help me?"

My parents seemed surprised by what I said and looked at each other for a moment.

In my previous life, I would agree to it.

But they didn't know that I was not the daughter they used to be.

This time, I wanted to see what kind of son they could have without my interference.

My parents were afraid that I would ask them for money, so they quickly changed the topic.

After finishing this meal, I went back to work.

I stayed up late to finish a proposal, and then I received a call from my dad.

"Rachel, your mom is having a hard time being pregnant this time. You should take a few days off tomorrow to take care of her!"

I relaxed and lay on my chair, closing my eyes and listening to what my dad said.

In my previous life, my mom didn't give birth to this child, but my dad did the same.

My dad made all kinds of excuses for me to go home and take care of my mom.

I was forced to take a long vacation to look after her.

Because of this, I lost a promotion opportunity.

It seemed that my father couldn't stand the trouble during my mother's pregnancy.

It made me laugh. Wasn't this boy what they wanted?

Now they needed me?

I rubbed my eyebrows.

"I can't go back. The company has been busy lately. I work overtime every day. How can I ask for leave when everyone is busy?"

My father became a little anxious when he heard what I said. "You only care about your work. You are busy when asked to come back! You don’t care about your mom anymore?"

"We raised you for nothing. Your mom was so hard during pregnancy. You neither go home nor send us money. Do you treat us as your parents?"

I sneered in my heart. "That's pregnancy. My mom's been a little unstable lately. But, Dad, please bear with her. After all, my mother is carrying your only boy, the one to carry on the family line in the future."

My dad stopped talking and remained silent on the other end.

After a while, he said, "Remember to send money home. Why haven't you sent any money home in the past few months?"
