After Getting Pregnant, I Saw Through My Boyfriend's Family

Ugly face

My boyfriend's mother, Amanda Perez, thought she could manipulate me when I was pregnant before the wedding, asking me for three hundred thousand dollars as my wedding gift for her while refusing to give me anything back.

Otherwise, she would tell her son, Marcus Anderson, to break up with me.

I just had to say this was a really bad idea.

I made an appointment for an abortion the next day.

I wouldn't allow that old bitch to trap me with my child.

Looking at the two bars on the pregnancy test stick, I felt very distraught.

Marcus hugged me in surprise and said, "Jasmine, let's get married. I will be responsible for you."

Leaning in his arms, I still couldn't digest the shock and didn't notice the strange excitement in his tone.

We clearly took protection every time, so how could I get pregnant?

But after listening to his comforting words, I gradually calmed down.

We had been in a stable relationship since we were in college and entered a leading company in Silvercrest together after graduation.

I looked up at Marcus and said softly, "Okay."

The next day, he told me that he was going back to discuss our marriage with his mother.

I was so touched because I never expected he would pay more attention to such a critical thing in our lives.

So, I also went back home with this exciting news. My parents were so thrilled to know that I was pregnant. They immediately decided to invite Marcus' parents to come and discuss the wedding.

I smiled and said, "Dad, Marcus will take me back to meet his parents tomorrow, and then I will bring him back to see you."

My mother, Sherry Fisher, rolled her eyes at my dad, Smith Moore, and said, "Calm down. Come on, Jasmine, let's buy some gifts for Marcus' parents."

After all, it was the first time for both our parents to meet each other, and we were sure to prepare some wonderful gifts for them.

Sherry took me straight to the largest shopping mall in the city and bought a bottle of vintage wine.

Marcus mentioned once that Amanda liked jewelry, so Sherry specially picked out a high-quality ice-type jade bracelet for her.

When we returned with the gifts, he had already returned.

Seeing the pile of gifts in my hands, his eyes lit up. "Jasmine, my mother told me to take you back tomorrow."

"Is your mother easy to get along with?" I asked him with a smile as I put down the gifts.

Freezing for a second, Marcus said, "She is a very good person. It was not easy for her to take care of me when I was growing up. When we get married, I can have a helper to repay her kindness."

My hand holding the gift froze. His words sounded a little weird.

Before I could think about it, Marcus told me to have dinner, and I found there was a table of my favorite food.

I nodded and ignored the weird feelings in my heart. During these years, Marcus always took good care of me and even took charge of cooking.

At the next dawn, Marcus urged me to get up. "Hurry up, Jasmine! Mom asked us to go back now."

I opened my eyes blearily and looked at the time. It was 5 o'clock, and it would only take us two hours to drive to his house.

But thinking that his mother might want to see us earlier, I got up and followed him to get dressed. It was exactly 7 o'clock when we arrived at his house.

Someone answered the door, and when Amanda saw me, she put on a courtesy smile. "You must be Jasmine Moore. Come in.]

The weirdness struck me again, but I suppressed it and greeted her warmly, putting the gifts on a table.

Glancing at the gifts, she said calmly, "How thoughtful you are!"

Her attitude totally confused me, and I looked at Marcus for help. He just looked back, asking me to be more tolerant.

So, I comforted myself that I would live with him in the future, not his family.

Unexpectedly, before I sat down, Amanda handed me an apron and said, "Jasmine, the breakfast in my family is always diversified, including milk, scrambled eggs, roast toast and so on."

"So, why don't you show us how capable you are of cooking? You will have to cook for my son when you get married, after all," she added.
