บททั้งหมดของ A Son’s Demands: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 8

I didn’t expect that post to go so viral, it came up as one of the top searches in the country.Countless netizens berated me for mistreating my child, saying that I shouldn’t have children if I couldn’t afford it.[You can’t even fulfil your child’s wishes. You’re not fit to be a mother!][Yeah! My mom was like that too, and she made me the laughing stock of my class. I hate her forever!]Online dissent grew increasingly intense. Someone even found my home address and claimed to punish me for being a nasty mother.I was so frightened when I saw that, especially because the person’s IP address was near where I lived.My husband was the only one at home. I gave him a call right away. The phone rang for a long time. When my husband finally answered the call, he refused to believe what I said.“It’s just something trivial. Have a good talk with our son, and he’ll understand.”My husband thought I was making a mountain out of a molehill. He seldom went online and never saw those

“Mom, why did you have to stop me? Didn’t you tell me to find a way to earn my own keep?”My son looked at me, confused. He then proudly waved the wad of cash he earned today. “I sold the camera for 200 dollars and the old laptop for over 300 dollars. There were a few other items I sold, too. I earned a total of nearly 2,000 dollars.”He pulled out his sales records, but I was fuming. Not only were the items he sold very expensive, but they also held precious photos of our family. I couldn’t believe he sold them at such a low price!“Mrs. Lane, what a good son you have! He’s so generous!”Someone walked past Shawn’s stall and showed off the camera he bought from Shawn. There were even some intimate photos and videos of me and my husband in the camera.I felt utterly embarrassed as they laughed and teased me, but my son looked completely unperturbed. He even joined in.“Since you dared to capture it on film, why can’t we watch it? Why didn’t you find it embarrassing when you fil

The look on everyone’s faces changed.My son started to panic. He looked at me in disbelief, thinking that I must have gone mad.My in-laws frowned and scolded me, saying that I shouldn’t say things like that no matter how angry I was.“Fine. We’re at the hospital, aren’t we? We can go for a test right away.”I smirked at all three of them.My son’s panic grew at the sight of how confident and certain I looked.“Grandma, I’m not doing the test. Grandma, you trust me, don’t you?”My son immediately started playing the pity card, holding onto his grandmother’s hand and refusing to let go. My mother-in-law had her doubts at the beginning, thinking that I must be acting crazy. Yet, when she heard my suggestion to go for a test, realization dawned on her.She turned around to examine the child before her. I felt mentally exhausted and had no capacity to deal with them. I booked a ticket home. My son looked at me walking further and further away from him, the anxiety in him gro

“Walk up the stairs!”Everyone heard the voice from downstairs and looked down the flight of stairs. A beautiful woman was walking up in tears with a stern-looking man right behind her.They were Leonard’s first love and her husband.I had informed the Miller family about Shawn’s presence, and they took it very badly. They would never tolerate such a scandal in their family and immediately rushed over with Leonard's first love in tow.When the woman saw Shawn, she looked away and avoided his gaze, uncertain about how to face the child.On the other hand, realization immediately dawned upon Shawn when he saw the woman.“Get lost! I don’t know you! Mom! Mom, I was wrong. I won’t ever do this again!” He looked at me in fright, refusing to believe that I would really abandon him. Over his dead body would he ever go to the Millers!My in-laws had completely given up on their grandson. They shut their eyes, looking pained, as though one more look at Shawn would make them implode wit
