After I directly refused Margery last time, she didn't mention the idea of letting Jessica stay at my house again.

I thought Margery finally understood who was more important in her own family, and I thought that this matter was over.

Thus, I planned to rent out that old house as soon as possible.

I wanted to change the tragic ending of me and Leonel.

Because of my severe morning sickness, I had to stay in the new house and hadn't been able to go to the old house to arrange everything.

It turned out that I was too positive. I should have acted swiftly.

Those who wanted to take advantage of me came before I was prepared.

One day, I took a short video outside and bought some vegetables and fruits. I thought I could cook at home while making some videos for my social media account.

But before I even opened the door of my house, I heard a loud noise inside.

It turned out that Margery brought Nathaniel and Nathaniel's family here.

The moment I opened the door, I regretted giving the key to Margery.

The TV was blasting loudly, and the floor was covered with all kinds of fruit waste.

My two younger cousins were running around the house, throwing sofa cushions and delivery boxes everywhere, making a mess.

My aunt, Dorothy Lange, and Nathaniel were sitting on the sofa, enjoying their leisure time together with a happy look on their faces.

Jessica was in the study, sitting in front of my desk and playing with my laptop.

When I saw all these, I felt the rage twisting inside me.

I thought that after I started over and directly refused them, Nathaniel and Jessica would stay away from me.

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.

But Nathaniel frowned. "Hilda, what are you talking about? Women are most fragile when they're pregnant. Your husband has to earn money to support the family. If you don't have someone else to take care of you, what if you fall by accident? You may be fine, but the baby may not make it. If you give birth to a disabled child, the Mallord family won't spare you."

Nathaniel threatened me with the baby in my belly, completely disregarding my feelings.

What was even more annoying was that my mom also chimed in, "That's right. If you give birth to a child with cerebral palsy, your whole life will be ruined. It's better to have someone else to take care of you."

"Mom, I'll say this again. I'm very healthy and don't need anyone to take care of me. Even if I buy groceries, I can still choose by myself based on whether I need them or not. You can't force me to let Jessica move into my house, can you?"

I was really angry now and had no patience to argue with them.

I'd rather spend my time making money or doing something else than wasting my time arguing with them.

"Hilda, how can you say that? What do you mean by forcing you to let Jessica move into your house? Your uncle said that for your own good. They're willing to let Jessica come and help you so that others won't gossip something bad about you behind your back. Even if you don't care about us, you can't say something so rude like that. When did you become so ungrateful?"

Margery scolded me angrily, complaining nonstop.

Now, the last affection I had for her had gone.

I sneered in my heart, Is this her so-called caring about me?

How shameless.

Which mom would force her daughter to live with a troublemaker? Doesn't she know Jessica can't help me at all? I really wish they were not my relatives.

Hearing the commotion outside, Jessica finally walked out of my study.
