After My Rebirth, I Stayed Away From My Love-brained Son

"Mom, come here!!" Chris turned around, looking at me for help.

Every time he encountered a problem, he would instinctively wait for me to solve it for him.

Everything seemed to have become a matter of course.

Looking at the awkward Chris in front of me, this time, I didn't step in to help.

Instead, I smiled and slowly walked over.

"Add 300,000 for Jessica's brother's engagement money? As long as Jessica and Chris agree, I have no objections."

The Zacker family looked greedy and delighted.

Chris looked at me in shock, not understanding why I suddenly agreed so readily.

"But... I don't have any money. I've spent all my money on handling your wedding and buying a house for Chris.

"Here's the deal, Jessica. You and Chris discuss it yourselves. All his salary is saved by him; how much he's willing to give to your brother is up to you two! I won't be involved further!"

Under the Zacker family's expectant gaze, Chris awkwardly took out his bank card, admitting it only had 30,000 in it.

Jessica glared at Chris with disdain. "Useless!"

Facing the Zacker family's disdain, Chris awkwardly kept his head down, trying to appease Jessica.

After Chris repeatedly promised to hand over every penny he earned in the future, Jessica finally took the bank card and unwillingly completed the wedding process.

That night, Jessica's scolding filled the room.

"What a loser, saving only 30,000 after more than a year of work!

"What could I possibly gain from being with you? You're such a weakling! You've embarrassed me beyond measure!"

And Chris blamed all the mistakes on me.

"Mom, how can you push all the blame onto me? Aren't you usually so capable? Why didn't you just refuse directly?

"I'll play the bad cop while you play the good cop. Won't that solve the problem?"

I smiled slightly. "Since you're unwilling, you could simply refuse directly."

Chris sighed.

"You know Jessica's temper. If I were to refuse, how would I live with her?

"Mom, I know you have money. You could lend it to her brother, and I'll pay you back later.

"I'm your only son. Isn't what's yours also mine? Am not I going to have to support you when you're old?"

I laughed. Was he going to burn me to ashes?

In the past life, he had also painted many pretty pictures for me.

Using my retirement money to maintain appearances, he bought jewelry and cosmetics for Jessica.

He bought branded bags, clothes, and shoes to please her.

Whenever I said "no," he would play the victim and seek sympathy.

"Mom, since I'm your only son, isn't my money also yours?"

"Mom, when you're old, I will definitely take good care of you."

I mellowed down and took out all my retirement money, leaving myself no way to back out.
