“Manager, I'm sorry...” Hanson left silently, tears in his eyes.
That evening.
Justin returned home, only to hear arguing the moment he walked through the door.
“What do you mean? I didn't marry into your family to be a maid. Can't you hire a servant for cooking and cleaning?”
“Hire a servant? Do you have any idea what the Carter family's financial situation is right now? Servants are expensive! Why can't you do it yourself? You're the daughter-in-law, why can't you cook?”
“I've never cooked in my life. I'm the eldest daughter of the Whelan family, get that straight! And I'm pregnant!”
“Isn't your belly still small? When I was pregnant with Justin, I was working five or six months in. You're so spoiled! I don't know why our family brought you in. Your personality is too domineering. Claire was better—quiet, gentle. It’s just my luck that we ended up with you!”
“You... if you dare treat me like this, I’ll tell Grandma. I’ll let her handle you!”
“Hah! Go tell her! Go ahead! She’s your grandmother, sure, but she’s also my aunt. She’s always favored her own blood. You think she’ll believe your nonsense? Try it if you don't believe me!”
“You...”
“What are you arguing about?!” Justin interrupted them.
“Son, you’re just in time. Look at her, it’s already this late and she still hasn't made dinner. She’s waiting for me to cook for her! Who acts like a daughter-in-law like this?”
Seeing Justin, Cathy acted like she saw a savior and grabbed his arm.
“Justin, look at your mom. She actually expects me to cook. I’ve never lifted a finger for housework in my life! And she insulted me. It’s too much... sob... You have to stand up for me! Can't we just hire a housekeeper?”
“You still want to hire a housekeeper! Do you know how expensive help is in Cresden City right now? Do you have no concept of money?”
“Hanson confessed. Cathy, do you still want to hide it from me?” Justin stared at her.
Cathy immediately felt guilty. “I don't know what you're talking about. What did Hanson confess?”
“Hanson said that at the dinner, you told him to spike my drink. That's why when I came back, I was confused and mistook you for Claire, and you took advantage of that to sleep with me. Cathy, I really didn't want to believe you were that kind of person. You’ve disappointed me so much!”
“Honey, I didn't! Don't listen to Hanson's nonsense, he’s framing me!”
“Even now, you still won't admit it?” Justin shouted.
Cathy jumped in fright.
“Fine! I admit it! Even if I did it, it was because I love you too much! Honey, please forgive me, okay? We're already married now, and I’m carrying your baby. We'll be very happy together in the future!”
