In the evening, when Andy got off work, Tina got a plate of snake meat from somewhere and placed it in the middle of the table.
I ate vegetables quietly, pretending to ignore others.
"Olivia has a good appetite, so it must be a boy. Sophia, look at you! You can't even bear a son for my family?" Tina complained, very unhappy about it.
Meanwhile, she kept talking about how nutritious snake meat was.
Andy didn't speak for me, just asking me why I didn't eat.
I considerately put the meat into his bowl and said guiltily, "Mom is right. Since I can't bear a son, how can I have the right to eat such high-quality food?"
He dispelled suspicions and nodded in agreement, swallowing deeply.
After ensuring that three of them had eaten it, I smiled with satisfaction.
Afterwards, I repented and apologized to the baby in my belly.
"Dear, I'm sorry, but there's nothing mommy can do."
After dinner, I stood up and went back to my room, but Tina stopped me.
"Sophia, I have something to tell you. Olivia is pregnant now, so we have to be careful with what she eats and drinks. Our house is too small. Don't you have a house? Let her stay there for a few days, and we will return it to you after she's done with the confinement."
I was stunned.
It didn't happen in my previous life. They were too shameless.
"The house belongs to my father, and he lives there now. Isn't it inappropriate for Olivia to go there?"
I spoke coldly and then looked at Andy.
After a long time, Andy said that he would contact my father. He wished my father to vacate the room, and then Olivia could move in.
"After all, she bears a son, and it's precious. Your family should take care of her carefully."
In an instant, I understood why they didn’t rob the house in my previous life, but it happened now.
It was just because they thought Olivia was pregnant with a son.
"What a joke! Why should my family care for her just because she is pregnant?" I wondered.
I couldn't let them achieve what they wished easily.
With that in mind, I laughed and hated them even more.
"Okay, I'll ask my dad to move out this week and let Olivia move in."
The next day, I explained the whole story to my dad.
Then, I asked him to act out a play with me.
I rented a newly renovated room in advance and created the illusion that someone had lived there.
The moment Tina pushed the door open, I smelled a pungent odor.
Thus, I put on the mask silently.
