I really didn't expect them to be so shameless to come to my house and cause trouble for me.
And it was even my mom who brought them in.
"Hilda, you went out to buy groceries, huh? Now, come on. Teach Jessica how to take short videos. I'll go cook. Your cousins are hungry." When Margery saw me back, she hurriedly pushed me towards Jessica.
"Hilda, you've already shown a 'baby bump'. We're really worried when knowing that you're living alone here. But I'm busy. If Jessica can come over and help you more often, you can save so much trouble, right?" Dorothy said so to me while having snacks. She acted as if she said all those for my good.
"You have to bring more energy and vitality into the house. That's only good for you and your baby. If you don't know how to be grateful to your family and relatives, how can you teach your baby well in the future? We agreed to let Jessica come and live here for the sake of Margery. Jessica will find a job here and take care of you at the same time. Don't be ungrateful."
Nathaniel spoke with a serious face, trying to morally blackmail me while blaming me secretly.
But in my eyes, Nathaniel was just being selfish while trying to pretend to be upright. I could tell that if I refused to let Jessica live in my house, he would directly blame me and curse me, saying I would have an impaired baby.
"Hilda, you should listen to Nathaniel. He's your uncle after all. We're relatives and should spend more time together. Let Jessica move in. She can also take care of you, right?" Margery echoed Nathaniel and tried to persuade me.
But Jessica still acted like an outsider, calmly playing with my laptop. It was as if the person we were talking about was not her.
I didn't want to let Jessica move in because I really didn't believe someone like her could take care of a pregnant woman like me.
After all, she looked more like the one who needed to be taken care of.
"Nathaniel, Dorothy, thank you for your kindness. But I'm used to living alone. Besides, I'm just making short videos at home. I don't need to go out to work. So, I won't be that tired, and I won't need others to take care of me. I'm really fine now."
I refused politely. But at the same time, I complained about their shameless behavior in my heart.
