I was anxious. "If we don't get the certificate, it will be illegal. You can't just listen to your mother on everything."
Perhaps my pressure worked. After hesitating for a long time, Saya finally told the truth.
It turned out that Zoe had changed her mind again.
Saya said to me, "My mother said that the money, house, and car will remain unchanged. In addition, can you transfer the house to my name? It's also a guarantee for me. Otherwise, she doesn't allow us to get married. What should I do?"

My anger almost exploded.
I wondered, "Why can't she talk about the problem all at once face to face? Why does she keep asking for more? Am I a rich and stupid guy?"
With that in mind, I did not respond in person. Out of respect for my parents' wishes, I intended to go home and ask them what they thought.
Not surprisingly, my dad refused.
He proposed the solution.
After the child was born, regardless of gender, the house would be transferred to their name.
To be fair, my father's proposal benefited both families.
That was what I thought.
Yet, Zoe refused to agree.
After I repeated questioning, Saya hesitantly gave reasons for her disagreement.
"Didn't you tell me before that your family has three houses? My mother said that you should give one more to Tessa and include it in the betrothal gift."
I didn't expect that Saya, who has always been generous and gentle, was actually a complete mama's girl.
I wondered what she took me for.
"My parents indeed have three houses. One is for my sister, one is for me, and one is for their retirement. Now that you want to give one of them to Tessa, which one do you think we should choose for her?"
"Isn't your sister married? Let her husband earn money to buy it! Why should your parents pay for it?"
"That's right. Then why don't you let Tessa's husband earn money to buy a house? How could you let my family give it to her? My family's house has nothing to do with Tessa and her husband."
The talks broke down again.
For more than a week, Saya ignored me.
At this time, I was completely disappointed, and it was time to break up with her.
But before I did that, there was one thing I needed to take care of.

I called Saya to discuss with her the proper way to deal with the child.
No matter what adults did, children were innocent.
I tried to get her back. If it failed, then abortion would be the only option. Also, I would give Saya reasonable compensation.
