Chapter 2

The bracelet has already been sold.

Sold for 300 dollars, and the money has already been spent.

I was so angry that my body was trembling. She actually sold the 8-gram bracelet for 300 dollars.

Tears kept streaming down my face. Since I married Samuel, I haven't had a single good day.

When I married Samuel, because he came from a single-parent family, I didn't even ask for a dowry and married him directly.

Later, when I gave birth to Houson, because Samuel had to work, I went through all the prenatal check-ups and the day of delivery alone.

After giving birth to Houson, Missi kept her distance, not even touching my hand.

During the confinement period, it was my mother who was busy taking care of both me and Houson, shuttling back and forth between my home and my parents' home every day.

It took a lot of effort for Houson to have a hundred-day celebration, and it was also me and Samuel who paid for it.

Houson received a lot of gifts that day, but it was taken away by Missi. I can tolerate all of this, but she actually took away the bracelet that my mother bought for Houson without my consent.

Samuel handed me a tissue. I thought he would help me, but I didn't expect him to say, "Ariana, since the bracelet has been sold, just forget about it. You should apologize to Mom and that will be the end of it."

I thought there was something wrong with my ears.

Missi stole my bracelet and I need to apologize to her?

Over the years, I have endured and endured for this family, but what I have received in return is not harmony, but constant demands.

The grievances that have been accumulating in my heart burst out like a flood.

I know, I can't be weak anymore.

I picked up Houson sleeping in the crib and was about to leave.

Chapter 3

I wiped away my tears and ran out.

Samuel chased after me as soon as I ran away.

He grabbed my sleeve and said, "Ariana, why are you leaving?"

I thought he would persuade me to go back, but he said as soon as he opened his mouth, "If you leave, what should Mom and I have for dinner tonight?"

I couldn't believe it, he caught up with me just because he was afraid that he and his mom would go hungry tonight.

In his eyes, I have been nothing more than a nanny all these years.

I took a deep breath and shouted, "Get lost!"

Perhaps startled by me, Samuel didn't catch up with me.

I immediately stopped a car and left.

Then I went straight to the hotel with Houson.

The hotel had a nice environment, and I gave Houson a nice bath.

Maybe all children like water. When Houson touched water, he laughed at me.

After taking a bath, I slept soundly under the moonlight.

I have forgotten when was the last time I slept so well.

When I am at home, I have to get up early to make breakfast for Samuel and Missi. Sometimes Missi even complains that the food is not delicious.

After making breakfast, I have to do the laundry and housework, and then feed Houson. In short, I am busy all day long.

The hotel room rate includes breakfast, which has a variety of desserts, porridge, and eggs. I tasted a little bit of everything.

After breakfast, I checked the balance in my phone and found myself in a difficult situation again.

There are two paths in front of me.

One is to continue to go back to that family and work as a nanny, and the other is to go out to work.

Chapter 4

I found my best friend Belle with Houson in my arm and told her about the situation that I plan to go out to find a job.

Belle is the heir to a wealthy family who is unmarried and childless, and has both cats and dogs.

When I was going to marry Samuel, Belle advised me, and now it has come true.

Belle knew about my difficult situation: "It's not a big deal for you to stay in a hotel, just stay at my place."

Because she is my best friend, I didn't stand on ceremony with her.

After handing Houson over to Belle, I went to the largest talent market in this city.

They asked about my work experience, and I felt a bit embarrassed because Samuel, whom I knew in college, got married and had a child after graduation, and I had no work experience at all.

Without exception, I didn't get any job opportunities.

So, I could only go back with my head down.

After staying at Belle's house for a few days, Samuel finally couldn't hold back his emotions.

He called me several times for several days: "When are you coming back?"

I thought he knew he was wrong, but what he said once again refreshed my understanding of him: "Do you know that during the days you were not here, my mom and I ate out every day? You should feel sorry for me and my money, right?"

"I work hard to earn money, I can't spend it here. You better come back and cook for us."

I held back from cursing him, which was my last bit of manners.

It turns out that without me, the two of them are helpless.

Since it's like this, I can't go back anymore. I hung up the phone immediately.
