Chapter 7 Looking Back at the Past

Auteur: Mr. Modest
After I finished my meal, I placed my plate in the sink.

After Noah and Zoey moved abroad, I expressed the hope for them to take up the responsibility of raising Faith. After all, it was quite hard for me to handle that on my own.

Zoey had instantly burst out into a tirade that lasted over 40 minutes. She went on and on about how she had planned to be child-free forever, and it was all my fault for always pushing her for kids.

Apparently, the one thing she hated the most was kids. In her eye

  • The Day My Family Spoke Over Me   Chapter 8 The End

    I knew things had gone to shit when I saw Faith crying before my doorway.She ran over to me. "Grandma, I'm sick. My parents won't pay for treatment. My arms hurt! My legs do too!"I accepted the medical report and glanced at it. Ah, so she was suffering from leukemia.Faith sobbed even harder, smearing her snot all over my sleeves. "I don't want to die, Grandma! Save me! I'll make sure to be good to you when I'm older!"This did not seem to be an act. Just as I was hesitating on what I should do, Faith began speaking once more. "The doctor told me I just need 600,000, and I can be cured!"What a coincidence. My account just so happened to have a balance of 600,000.I kept my guard up and only gave her 200. "That's all I have on me. The rest will have to be withdrawn from the bank."Tears of gratitude rolled down her cheeks. "Thank you, Grandma. You're the best!"At that moment, I saw the smirk on her lips and the smug glint in her eyes.After she left, I asked a woman who liv

    After I finished my meal, I placed my plate in the sink.After Noah and Zoey moved abroad, I expressed the hope for them to take up the responsibility of raising Faith. After all, it was quite hard for me to handle that on my own.Zoey had instantly burst out into a tirade that lasted over 40 minutes. She went on and on about how she had planned to be child-free forever, and it was all my fault for always pushing her for kids. Apparently, the one thing she hated the most was kids. In her eyes, I was Faith's grandmother, so why couldn't I raise her on my own?In truth, it was Noah who wanted a son. Zoey had a spine made out of a wet noodle, so she went along with his wishes. Unfortunately, they ended up with Faith, a girl. They were so disappointed that they used an excuse to run off while leaving the child with me.They wanted to be child-free, right? She hated kids, right? I would help Zoey out then. There was no need to give birth to this baby.Faith stayed with me for 10 days

  • The Day My Family Spoke Over Me   Chapter 6 Faith's Wake-Up Call

    "Faith needs to be walked to and from school, and she always needs something. Now, there's no one who can cook, throw out the trash, or do the laundry. Zoey also needs to work, so now I can't even have a hot meal!"I raised my eyebrows. Noah was not at all sorry. Instead, he just regretted losing a free maid who'd do everything without a complaint."No way. I'm flying off for a vacation tomorrow," I drawled languidly.Noah's voice rose to a high pitch. "Everything is a mess here, and you're okay with going on a vacation? Mom, you're just so selfish!""You're allowed to leech off of me, but I can't take a moment for myself? Noah, get over yourself. You really are your father's son through and through. The only thing you know how to do is ruin people's day with your revolting excuses! Get lost!" I replied.I boarded my flight and enjoyed two weeks of fun with my old friends. I was finally experiencing the grand life Connor spoke of. It really was quite nice.…When I returned to m

  • The Day My Family Spoke Over Me   Chapter 5 Connor Suffers a Beating

    "Today, we'll be learning the many ways of walking down a catwalk. How should women walk to appear more elegant, genteel, and demure? Well, a woman must always wear stockings and high heels. In other countries...""What on earth are you teaching? We're all in our 50s and 60s! High heels? What if we fall?" one of the women questioned sharply.Disdain flashed across Kasey's face. "Madam, I've been abroad for decades. I believe I am more qualified...""Tsk! Who cares if you lived abroad before? Did the foreigners teach you how to seduce your neighbor's husband? Is that why you were able to become a married man's mistress and leech off of him? The man's wife is here, yet you have the nerve to continue bragging!"Kasey's face turned bright red."I want a refund! What kind of etiquette class is this? How dare a shameless homewrecker like you speak of elegance and refinement? I would rather burn my money away than give any to you! Give me back my money now!"Dozens of women were screami

    "The house is sold? When did that happen? Why didn't I hear about it? My mom never mentioned it to me!"The buyer was a muscular man who clearly worked out on the regular. He didn't bother saying a word as he dragged Noah out of the apartment. "Who cares what your mom says? I paid for this place, so it's mine now. Pack up and get lost!"Connor puffed up like a peacock as he bragged, "You can't do this, young man! When I was abroad...""Get lost, I say! You're an old coot, so why pretend to be some rich foreigner? If you're that great, refund me then!"Then, the buyer dragged the rest of the group out, cursing and shouting the entire time. Connor was so angry that he nearly had a heart attack.…After that, I received a call from Noah."Mom, did you sell the apartment behind our backs?""Yes.""I knew it! You really are selfish! Where are we meant to live then? How is Faith going to attend school? You're such an embarrassment!""Noah, you're the selfish one." I slowly contin

  • The Day My Family Spoke Over Me   Chapter 3 You Forgot To Cook

    When I got home, Zoey and Kasey were chatting away happily while Connor was reading on the sofa.Connor shot me a glare and reprimanded, "Look at the time. You wandered outside for so long that you forgot to cook. This is ridiculous!"I wanted to slap him so much, but I was hungry. So, I made myself a plate of spaghetti instead.I went back into the kitchen to grab a fork, but came out to see Connor and Kasey helping themselves to my food.On the other hand, Noah and Zoey were complaining, "Mom, where's ours? It's so little. How is it enough for all of us? You're so stingy."Connor commented as he stuffed his mouth full, "She's always been selfish. See how little meat she used. It's so salty. A country woman will always be a country woman. She'll never have any class."He continued, "When I was abroad, I only ate in high-end‌ restaurants. Even the waitresses were more refined than your mom. People spoke softly and elegantly, unlike her."He was on a roll when I flipped the plate
