"Oh, I moved to a new house. The rent has increased a lot. By the way, I've been taking leave all the time. How can I get the salary?"
My dad felt guilty and said, "Isn't that your mom being pregnant?"
Before I could say anything, I heard my mom shouting at my dad on the other end of the phone.
My dad cursed in a low voice, "Fuck off. What a nagging woman!"
"For God's sake!"
Then the phone was hung up.
I raised an eyebrow.
It seemed that there would be something interesting in the future.
My mom had always been a stickler.
In my previous life, when I went back to take care of her, I was exhausted and lost a lot of weight due to her constant fuss.
There was no escape.
Whenever she was in discomfort, she shouted and cried with grievances.
When someone came to see her, she spoke vaguely about all her faults, seemed like I abused her.
Everyone looked at me with strange eyes.
When my aunt left, she held my hand and said earnestly, "Rachel, your mother just lost her baby. You must not mistreat her. Your mom only has you. If you don't treat her well, how can she live in the future?"
I really couldn't explain it even if I had a mouth.
Analyzing it carefully, I thought that my parents had already hated me a long time ago.
They were deliberately messing with me.
Well, they could hurt each other now.
Since she was willing to have a baby regardless of her health, I didn't persuade her anymore.
I was working peacefully in the company.
In my previous life, I had missed the promotion opportunity because I had taken care of her. But now, I achieved it.
In the evening, I treated my teammates to dinner and had something fun.
In the restaurant, when I went to the restroom, I unexpectedly saw someone who shouldn't be there.
That was my dad.
Why was he here?
I quietly followed and saw my dad sitting next to a woman.
Holy shit!
I sneaked closer to eavesdrop.
"What's going on with your wife? You have promised to marry me. Why are you postponing it again?!"
My dad smiled ingratiatingly. "That's a son. I haven't had a son in decades. I'll divorce that old hag as soon as she gives birth to the child!"
I took out my phone and secretly took a photo.
I went to a place where there was no one and called my mom.
"Mom? Is dad at home?"
"Why are you looking for your dad? He went out to buy candied nuts for me. He's not at home. I tell you, don't ask us for money if you're broke. We don't have any money."
