"That simply is a form of charity given to me! You're giving me handouts from the bottom of our hearts! Ryan, I am your wife! Not some maid that you had bought! Not some poor little girl your family had rescued out of the kindness of your hearts! I have no parents and am a little shrew who hails from the streets! However, I don't owe the Payne family anything! I didn't keep pestering you in order to marry into the Poole family! I don't need your family to provide me with basic living necessities! I am able to provide for myself and my sons! In the future, I'll let my sons take the Mann family's name! If you and your mother want to see my sons, then you'll have to ask if I agree!"Toward the end, Ruth was almost gritting her teeth as she spoke. The situation like that made Sabrina, Yvonne, as well as everyone present, feel how difficult and upset Ruth felt being in this marriage. What Sabrina had been worried about back then really came true. Ruth did not have a family, and her charact

"However, Ruth is also considered my cousin."Sabrina nodded. "Marcus, what are you trying to say?''"I think that the Poole family had already totally forgotten that Ruth was not some commoner. She has somebody powerful to support her. She has the entire Shaw family backing her up. She is not some shrew from the streets. Her father was once such a highly educated talent. It's just that…""It's just that because of some strange turn of events, she was ruined by her own uncle and aunt since childhood. From the moment your uncle and aunt died, her life was secretly switched. She had been living in that kind of place where all the neighbors would gather around to have their meals together and share a laugh or two. They were so close as if they were a family. However, if somebody's chicken were to run to another person's house to lay an egg, both the families, who originally had been very close, may fight each other very aggressively to compete for the egg," Sabrina said. "They may stan

Tears came gushing down her cheeks. "Ryan, I love you.""Cheesy!" Ryan brushed Ruth's nose.Ruth suddenly laughed. Just like that, both of them were considered to have already made up with each other. It was not a very big deal, to begin with. In order to return home and notify his family about his matter as soon as possible, Ryan did not stay in South City any longer and he immediately flew back to Kidon City.It was after he had arrived home that he learned that sometimes the decisions made by both of them would also be considered a bolt from the blue for his parents. His mother, Patricia, immediately became agitated and scolded him angrily, "What? You guys! You want to cooperate with Ruth and leave your father and me?""Mom…" Ryan was in a rather difficult position.At this end, Patricia was so angry that her eyes were completely reddened. "Ryan, say it yourself. I'm asking you to say it yourself! Say it yourself! Other than not accepting her at the very beginning, how much bet

"You won't leave me?" Patricia asked in tears."Mm-hmm." Ryan nodded."You're not angry at me anymore?""Not anymore," said Ryan."Son…" Patricia cried. Ryan also cried.At that moment, Ryan's phone had actually been vibrating. However, he did not have the time to answer it. He did not even take a look at who was calling him. He just held his mother's hand while feeling incredibly remorseful. "Ryan, take good care of your mother. Jane and I will go back now. We'll come and visit your mother again tomorrow," Alex said to Ryan from behind him.Ryan did not look back, and he only nodded.Alex then said to Austin, "Austin, we'll first send mom and dad home. Don't worry about things at home. If you need anything here in the hospital, you can also call me as soon as possible. Nothing else matters now. What's important is that Patricia has to recover well."Austin nodded and sighed. "Mm-hmm. You may first go home, then."Only then did Alex bring his wife and his parents along with

"Mom, why are you sad?" asked her elder son.The younger son also raised his hand and wanted to wipe his mother's tears for her. However, his hand was very short, so he could not reach it. He then stomped his feet in frustration.Ruth, who was feeling depressed, suddenly laughed. She hugged both her sons and said incredibly emotionally, "I… I am a woman with nobody to rely on and I don't have my biological family with me. Even if I do, they are also just mere commoners. I was very lonely in that huge mansion. I only have you two. Both of you are the only closest and dearest loved ones in my life. My babies. From now on, I will give it my all to be self-reliant and also an extremely strong mother.""Mom, I love you.""I love you."Both the children wrapped both of their arms around Ruth tightly. Ruth's tears silently streamed down her face. She did not dare to spend too much time dwelling in sorrow. She only gave herself one night before she forced herself to pull herself together.
