Chapter 3

In the last few days of applications, I went back to my parents' home.

I had mixed feelings when I saw my parents with gray hair.

My mom asked me why I suddenly came back.

"I miss you." I hugged my mother from behind, afraid that she would see the tears in my eyes.

In my last life, after getting married, I rarely went back to my parents' home due to busy work.

After Tim moved in, I was even busier on weekends tutoring him.

Before I was pushed down the stairs, my mom even told me to come home for dinner, saying she wanted to cook me a big meal.

Unfortunately, before I could eat the meal, I was separated from my parents forever.

I couldn't imagine how heartbroken my parents would have been after hearing the news.

Looking back now, I was really unfilial.

"Honey, why haven't you come home yet?" My husband, Noah, called.

"I'm going to stay at my parents' for a few days."

"You're married. Why are you still staying at your parents' house? Don't you have a place to stay?" Noah scolded me.

I didn't realize he was so macho before.

I was a local resident and a postgrad.

Noah was from the countryside and only went to a community college.

At first, he pursued me crazily. I thought he was down-to-earth and hardworking, and he treated me well.

Although he was a bit poor, both of us had jobs. We didn’t need to worry about not earning money in the future.

My parents and friends were not optimistic about our relationship.

I married Noah in spite of the pressure from many people.

Looking back now, I must have been out of my mind.

"Sophia, today is the last day for the college application. Won't you come back and help Tim with some advice?" Noah softened his tone when he saw that I didn't speak.

It turned out that there was still a request for me.

"I told you that I didn't know about it. If you can't handle it, find an agency!" After I said that, I hung up the phone.

"How much money do we have to spend to find an agency? It's a waste of money." Noah continued to chatter on the other end of the phone.

I hung up directly.

To prevent him from harassing me again, I turned off my phone.

After the SAT, Tim had been addicted to his phone and hadn't even looked at any of the college applications.

In the last two days, it would be a miracle that he was able to apply successfully.

People who were not self-disciplined were reborn the same several times.

After staying at my parents' place for two days, I went to work with full energy.

Afraid that my parents would worry about my relationship with Noah, I still went back to my own home after work.

Unexpectedly, before I even entered the house, I heard Tracy's loud voice.

"Noah, you have to hurry up and get your wife pregnant. What if she runs away with someone else?"

"Don't worry, Mom. I have a plan. She definitely won't be able to escape from my grasp!"

"After Sophia gets pregnant, we can ask her parents to quickly buy another house. Your younger brother is already in college and will soon be getting married. We can't have nowhere to live by then!" Tracy said.

"Yeah, Noah. I can't even stretch my legs in that small bedroom. It's so cramped!" said Tim.

"I know! You little brat! Once her parents die, everything will be ours. We'll have money, and we won't have to worry about the house!" Noah said with a smug tone, making me want to go in and slap him a few times.

When we got married, Noah said his family was poor.

He said it wasn't easy for his mother to raise two children on her own.

My parents were generous. Not only did they not ask for the bride price, but they also gave us a down payment on a suite.

Now their whole family had moved in and they still wanted our family to buy another one.

Did they want my family to buy a house for Tim?

I had never seen someone so shamelessly.

"Noah, you have to hurry up. Sophia is almost 30 this year. If the first child is a girl, you'll have to have a second one. Our family can't end with you!"

"Mom, this is not up to me! If Sophia can't give birth, we can still find someone else..." Noah said proudly.

"What? Noah, have you found someone outside? You are really impressive! Tracy, learn from your brother!" Tracy's excited voice came out of the room.
