He fell right on Mary, and her tender thighs instantly turned red, and blisters formed.
I said first, "Dylan, how could you hurt your wife? Don't you know that pregnant women are delicate?"
Mary's face was twisted in pain, but she forced a smile and said it was okay.
Then she spoke, "Then, our marriage..."
The phone suddenly rang.
I interrupted Mary and said I had to take a call first.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the person on the other end of the phone, I looked serious.
"What did you say? If he can't offer the house, what will happen to my money?"
"You have no choice but to wait for him? What do you mean by that?"
"Hello? Hello?"
After the call was hung up, I threw the phone on the table, secretly pinched my thigh, and my eyes suddenly turned red.
Dylan sighed and asked dissatisfiedly, "What's going on? You're making such a fuss."
I looked up and answered with a crying voice, "The house in Verdant community seems to not be unfinished... I invested all my money in it, but now I can't get a penny back..."
"What?"
They both exclaimed at the same time.
Mary was anxious and stopped pretending to be weak. She stood up and pointed at my nose and asked, "What about my wedding? If you give me less than one million dollars, I won't marry you, and I'll even abort the baby!"
Dylan became even more anxious after hearing what Mary said.
"I told you a long time ago that the house in Verdant community is not good, why did you invest in it? Are you stupid? No, no matter what, you must give me money to get married, otherwise I will not recognize you as my mother!"
I could only cry and shake my head helplessly.
I said there was nothing I could do.
Finally, when both of them were in despair, I spoke again.
"I still have tens of thousands of dollars, you can take it first.
"When I have the money back, I will immediately give you the money I promised!"

Although the two were reluctant, this was obviously the best solution at the moment, so they had to accept it.
Dylan also repeatedly forced me to promise that I would buy him a new house and give him another five million dollars in cash as soon as I had the money back.
The door slammed shut and I collapsed on the sofa, letting out a long sigh.
The houses in the Verdant community were real. Dylan also knew that I had bought serval houses there and once tried to stop me.
