Never Marry Him

“Mom, what are you doing? I’ve told you, I won’t marry him. There’s no way I’m marrying a man old enough to be my father just for money.”

Heather struggled with all her might but to no avail. These days, Carmen had been doing a lot of physical work, be it household chores or outside work to earn money. Thus, her strength was much greater than that of Heather.

“Mom, if you keep forcing me like this, I might as well die!” Heather said defiantly.

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Carmen gradually calmed down. She released Heather’s hand with an apologetic expression on her face.

“I’m sorry, Heather, I was too harsh just now. Please don’t be mad at me. I’m at my wit’s end. I’m worn out from working and doing housework every day. I can’t go on like this anymore. can only place my hopes on you.”
