Love Story3–Chapter 1
Love Story3–Chapter 1
I was planning to pick up the new car next week!
I had just hung up with Ethan and opened an app to research cars.
Suddenly, my bedroom door was kicked open.
Cindy stormed in, furious.
I had never seen her like this before. Usually, we were all one happy family.
Seeing me frozen in shock, she barely controlled her temper and snapped, “Yvonne, I heard you’re buying a car?”
I finally reacted, calmly correcting her, “Mom, it’s not me who wants to buy a car.
It’s Ethan who needs one.”
She realized she had overreacted.
“Yvonne, cars are expensive to maintain. Ethan works at construction sites all the time, so
buying a car isn’t practical.”
I didn’t think much of it and just laughed it off. “Ethan feels bad having to ride a little scooter when we visit my family during the holidays, especially in the rain. Plus, it’s inconvenient not having a car when I’m at home.”
Before I could finish, Cindy cut me off loudly. “You’re a stay–at–home wife, what
convenience do you need?”
I was completely stunned.
I clearly remembered how Cindy always claimed to treat me like her own daughter.
But now? She could actually say something like this?
I lost my temper and snapped back, “This was Ethan’s decision. If you have a problem, take it up with him.‘

“No matter what, you two are not buying a car! You have no right! You don’t deserve it!”
Cindy threw those words at me and slammed the door behind her as she stormed out.
I don’t deserve it?
I’m not worthy?
kept turning those words over in my mind.
It was just a car. How was it worth this much drama?
I didn’t understand.
Whatever, let Ethan handle his mom.
I tried calling Ethan.
Busy.
Half an hour later, still busy.
Fine, I won’t interrupt mother and son bonding time.
I put my phone down and took a nap. When I woke up, I heard Cindy calling my father–in–law, Samuel, and Emily to dinner in the living room.
She didn’t call me.
But it didn’t matter. I had got the nerve.
Not rushing to dinner is a sign of laziness, after all!
I quickly opened the door and headed to the dining room.
Clearly, my arrival caused a stir.
Cintly seemed pleased for some reason. She handed me some vegetables with a smile. “Yvonne, you’re such a good girl. Once you have my first grandchild, I’ll make sure Ethan buys you a car in a couple of years!”

Samuel chimed in. “Yeah, yeah. If you need the car urgently, just ask me. You can borrow
mine.”
I just stared at them, speechless..

Emily jumped in, “I don’t know what you’re thinking. Yvonne. You’re home all day. What do you need a car for? It’s just a waste of money! Good thing mom and dad are in charge…”
“Eat more and talk less,” Cindy quickly gave Emily a look and handed her a big piece of
ork rib.
I honestly couldn’t understand what was going on. Did they even hear themselves?
“Dad, Mom, you must be mistaken. We’re picking up the car next week. No need to wait two
years.”
