These words displeased the ingrate. Why should they be happy? They get to decide everything. Why should they?
"I'll make my own decisions, you don't need to interfere."
After saying that, the person left. Seeing her son like this, Lin's heart skipped a beat. She felt a sudden pang of sadness, panic, and fear...
This son, will he... will he abandon them in the future?
