Chapter 59 “Sir, over to you.” The salesperson turned to Michael and said. She only added ‘sir’ just because people were there and she didn't want to be rude to any customer to avoid getting fired. Michael ignored the salesperson but taunted the man. “You claim to be wealthy, yet you could only afford to pay for one bottle of wine.” “Do you think 1.5 million dollars is a small amount of money? Huh?” The man shot back. “Pay for yours and let's see if you even have up to a hundred dollars in your account.” “Yes, he had paid for one bottle. It's now your turn, do it, and let's see.” Someone among the onlookers chirped in, trying to look down on Michael. Michael neglected the words. He brought out his old cracked phone that he had been using back then in Stephen's family. It was the first phone he had ever bought with his hard-earned money, so he prioritized it. There was grumbling from the onlookers that filled the air after Michael brought out his phone to make the transfe
Chapter 60 However, not up to three minutes later, Michael stood at the doorway and announced. “Grandma Isabella, I'm here. I'm so sorry for coming late.” In a fast move, all eyes landed on him. Everyone became furious seeing him except for Grandma Isabella, who felt like her wish had finally come true. “Oh, here comes their useless and shameless son-in-law.” “Where has he been all this while? Isn't he aware today was supposed to be his father-in-law's mother's birthday?” “He was probably hiding from bills because he has nothing to offer.” The people that had come to celebrate Grandma Isabella's birthday were murmuring but it was an open secret one. Rose's mother, who heard their conversations, turned to them and announced publicly. “Hello, everyone. We're sorry for not letting you all know about this all this while. But the thing is, that man over there, Michael, to be precise, is no longer Rose's husband. That's to say, he's no more the son-in-law of this honorable
Chapter 61The woman looked at the wines for about ten minutes and after that, she looked at Michael. Her look betrays her surprise. She breathed in deeply and looked at Stephen. “These are the original ones. 1992 to be precise.” She confirmed.“Are you sure of what you're saying?” Stephen asked the woman, trying hard not to believe that Michael could actually buy the wine.To confirm his doubt, the woman nodded. “Yes, I'm sure. I'm a wine dealer and I can assure you that they're actually real and not fake.” She said firmly. Instantly! Stephen took a sharp glance at Michael, shaking his head in disbelief. “I don't believe it. This thing here can't afford them.” He said, and Joseph, along with others who hated Michael, nodded in agreement except for Grandma Isabell, who disagreed, shaking her head. Not letting off his gaze at Michael, Stephen accused. “I'm very sure you stole them. Isn't it?” He demanded.Michael picked offense at this accusation but he managed to swallow hard. He w
Chapter 62And Ella nodded. “Yes.” But Rose glanced at her unbelievably. “I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to tell them that I'm carrying Michael's unborn child. Never!”“Michael's unborn child? Rose, are you pregnant?” A familiar voice chirped in. Rose and Ella instantly became dumbfounded as they turned around, looking at the door. They were shocked to see Grandma Isabella standing at the verge of the door, with her arms crossed over each other. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they took no notice when Grandma Isabella walked in gently. “Grandma, you? What are you doing here?” Rose quaked as she asked. Ella immediately stood from the bed, covering her face with her hands.Grandma Isabella looked at them before she answered Rose. “Do I need to take permission before entering your room?” Rose shook her head, still in fear. “No, Grandma but you should have at least given a knock on the door before…” She paused, seeing her grandmother move from where she was
Chapter 63 Rose shook her head heavily at her Grandmother's suggestion. “No, Grandma. I won't do that.” “That what?” “I want to abort the baby.” “What? Abort? That'll never happen.” Grandma Isabella stood up immediately from the bed where she had sat. Her face filled with frustration and anger as she looked at Rose. “You're not going to do that.” She declared, mean of every word that proceeded from her mouth. Grandma Isabella then managed to cool down her temperature and took back her position on the bed. She held Rose's hands softly as she began to speak, her voice was filled with emotions. “Rose?” Grandma Isabella began emotionally and Rose kept silent, allowing her to finish her words. “Do you know what you're trying to do to yourself just because of the hatred you have toward Michael? You want to abort the child in you?” She rhetorically asked. “Come to think of it, if I had aborted mine many years ago thereby terminating my son, Stephen, your father. Would you h
Chapter 64Bang! Bang! It was the loud sound that came from the living room, and everyone halted, looking at each other, surprised. “What's happening at the party?” Rose asked rhetorically and immediately trailed down the stairs and the rest immediately followed behind her with racing heartbeats.Meanwhile, in the living room, the music had abruptly stopped after Stephen flung one of the bottles of wine to the floor.Everywhere was silent and everyone remained speechless at the sudden display of anger.The woman who had confirmed that the wines were actually genuine and not fake ones, shook her head. Her face wore with pity as she mumbled to herself. “He's going to regret doing this. He damaged the bottle even after I told him they were the original ones. He really needs to control his anger.” She said, shaking her head as she watched Stephen grab the second bottle.“I won't risk my mother's life with these fake wines.” Stephen's thunderous voice was heard in the living room, not m
CHAPTER 1 It was 5 am inside the bedroom. A man in his mid-twenties was seen lying on a mat on the floor beside an elevated bed. His name was Michael Robinson and he was the live-son-in-law of the Stephen family. On top of the elevated bed was his wife, Rose Michael. She had long brown hair and cold green eyes. Also, her appearance was amazingly beautiful like that of an angel which made Michael count himself a lucky man on earth to have gotten married to her. However, Michael and Rose had never slept together as a couple even though they were legally married because Rose disliked him due to his poor status. Just then, Rose rolled herself on the bed, facing the direction where Michael was lying. As she opened her eyes, her eyes suddenly glanced down on her worthless husband lying on the cold-tiled floor, snoring that got her provoked.“I don't just know why this thing won't let me sleep in peace in my own house again. All he does is snore, snore and snore.” She muttered to herself
Chapter 2 As Michael got to the kitchen, he took a deep breath with the hope of getting everything done thereby fulfilling his wife's wish. He quickly dipped his hand into his pocket, bringing out his cheap Android phone which had several broken glasses and was half blind. The phone was so bad that he struggled to type, ‘step-by-step tutorials on how to prepare Black Pudding' on YouTube. After several minutes of struggling, he was able to type it and multiple results came out and he selected one of them and began to watch. “What a nonsense day for me. I can't even see anything on the screen. I'm not seeing a single thing.” Michael mumbled as he struggled to watch the video but couldn't see a single thing. Not seeing anything that was on screen got him so annoyed that he angrily switched it off. And with an annoying sigh, he pocketed it and sat in the air. “I can't even afford a good phone. How then am I going to make my darling Rose the meal she demanded?” He sighed and got u
