Maxwell's glasses were knocked off by me. He hurriedly squatted down to pick up his glasses and said, "Don't get angry."

He's so disgusting!

I spat and walked into the delivery room with my hands on my hips.

I heard Lane crying behind me.

"We're so unlucky... Maxwell married a shrew!"

A shrew? I'm glad I'm a shrew in this life. If I were still as cowardly as in my previous life, I would have ended up miserably.

In my previous life, I went blind after giving birth. Lane didn't ask the doctor if my vision could be restored at all. All she cared about was whether I could give birth again!

Maxwell said all that mattered was that I was OK. But he brought his mistress home and had sex with her right under my nose. After I found out, he explained that Lane wanted a grandson, and he had no choice!

What a shameless family!

I was moved by Maxwell's thoughtfulness and gentleness at the beginning, and I thought I married the right guy.

I was so stupid.

After an hour on the operating table, I successfully gave birth to a baby girl.

After I was pushed back to the ward, Lane started nagging just like in my previous life.

"We agreed that you'd give birth to a boy.

"Why did you have a C-section anyway? Now you can only give birth again after three years. Why? Why did you do that? Women nowadays are so delicate. Back then..."

"You can give birth as many times as you want. I don't care," I interrupted Lane. "But you don't get to judge me."

"How could you talk to me like this? I'm your elder! Where are your manners? Show some respect!"

"You don't deserve my respect!"

I continued to retort without giving in.

Maxwell came over and held my hand. "Thea, don't talk back. It's been hard for my mom."

"And it's been easy for me?" I broke free from his hand. "You better shut up, or I'll divorce you when I go back!"

Looking at Maxwell wiping his sweat, I gritted my teeth and said fiercely, "You won't get anything, including the baby, the house, and the money!"

Maxwell and Lane both fell silent.

Only then did I feel better. I rested for a while and told Maxwell that I wanted to book a confinement center, asking him to handle it as soon as possible.

Maxwell frowned and said, "Then... The carer my mom hired..."

"Ask Lane if she has dismissed her."

Maxwell was surprised. The expression on his face seemed to ask me how did I know.
