His wife’s tone was incredibly sharp. "Noah Hill, you're marrying into my family! Into my family! From that day onward, you’re a member of my family. Why would an old country bumpkin attend my wedding? M y parents organized it, and if she shows up, she would just be humiliating my parents!"
Noah was furious. "If you want to get married, my mother has to be invited! Otherwise, get ready to be divorced!”
That night, his wife cried so much she could hardly speak. As she cried, she even reprimanded Noah for being a cold and heartless monster. "My parents are s o nice to you, they gave you the entire company. As for me, I'm a university graduate but I didn't look down on you at all. What’s more, my son likes you so much. What about you? Our wedding ceremony has not been held yet, and you’re already plotting to take over my family?"
Noah was infuriated. "When have I ever plotted to take over your family?"
His wife snapped at him. "Then why would you invite an old country bumpkin here! You want to bring your mom here, want her to join our family. After some time, are you going to bring your aunts and uncles, and all your cousins here, to take over our family bit b y bit?"
Noah looked at her incredulously, at a loss for words. His wife continued, “It's your wild ambition! You have your eyes set on my family's property! Everything that you said, that we're a family now and you'll work hard for us, they’re all lies!"
Noah was about to explode when he heard his wife say, "I...I want a divorce! Tomorrow, I’ll go and get an abortion! I don’t want to live with you anymore!"
Noah was stunned. "You're...you're pregnant?”
His wife screamed in rage. "Pah! I'm not pregnant! I should not have told you!"
Noah blinked. "You...I’m going to become a father. I'm going to become a father?"
His wife continued yelling, "You ungrateful jerk!
Noah said guiltily, "Mother, Willow is pregnant..." Willow was his wife’s name, Willow Dean.
On the other end of the phone, his mother was so happy she was at a loss for words, she even cried tears of happiness. "I...An old widow like me, is finally going to have a grandchild?"
Noah said carefully, "Mother, Willow is in a bad mood because of her pregnancy. Our wedding ceremony is going to be held next week, but she..."
Noah was too ashamed to continue. However, his mother was a very understanding woman. She immediately said, "My son, I know, I'm a country bumpkin from a little farming village in the mountains, badly dressed and haven't seen much of the world. But Willow and her family are different. All of their guests are rich and influential people, we are nothing compared to them. I won't attend your wedding. Willow is pregnant now, I’m worried the
baby will be affected if she's unhappy."
