Once I was sure Renee had finally taken her last breath, I gently placed my hand on my stomach."Sweetheart, Mommy has avenged you."Oliver returned to the hospital that afternoon only to be greeted by her cold, lifeless body.He cradled her corpse, weeping in regret and sorrow.I shot him a cold glance before turning to leave.As much as I despised Renee, her transformation into such a vile person was partly due to her husband's blind indulgence and lack of boundaries.Just as I stepped out of the hospital, I ran into Brady, who was rushing in.After a month of not seeing him, he looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes and unshaven stubble marring his face.When he saw me, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to embrace me. "Eloise, where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you."I broke free from his embrace and reminded him, "We're getting a divorce."Brady's expression fell instantly. "Eloise, you still won't forgive me? My mom is already gone…"C
My mother-in-law, Renee Xander, smugly rested her hand on her waist and looked at me with a face full of pride. "Who would’ve thought I'd still be so fertile at my age? "Unlike a certain somebody who's absolutely useless…”I stared at her ugly expression for a long while before realizing I had been reborn.Renee had done the same thing in my previous life. She had simply pulled out a pregnancy test stick and announced she was pregnant.I was in complete shock back then. After all, she was nearly 60, and being an older expectant mother was incredibly risky for both her and the child.I suggested taking her to the hospital for a checkup. In response, she cried and complained, claiming that I was just jealous because I could not get pregnant myself.I tried my best to explain that I was only worried about her health, which was why I convinced our family to agree to take her to the hospital. Even after the test results confirmed a molar pregnancy, she was still convinced she was hav
The next day, I displayed a tampered pregnancy test stick in front of everyone in the family. Brady immediately forgot our argument from the previous night and hugged me tightly."This is amazing, Eloise! I'm going to be a dad too!"My father-in-law, Oliver Orwell, also beamed with joy. He said, "It seems like the heavens have bestowed two gifts upon us!"Seeing that both Brady and Oliver were focused on me, Renee's face darkened with displeasure. A sly smile crept onto my face as I looked at her and said, "This baby really couldn't have come at a better time."Renee quickly grabbed Oliver and wrapped her arms around him, saying, "Neenee is pregnant too. I need a hug!"Though Oliver was exasperated, he indulgently put his arm around Renee's plump waist.Still not satisfied, Renee pried Brady's arm away from me and said, "Bubba, am I no longer the most important woman in your life? You didn't even hug me yesterday. I'm upset!"Brady glanced at me apologetically before letting go
Brady looked puzzled as he took the ultrasound report and said, "Mom, it says here that it's a molar pregnancy.""The doctor said that a molar pregnancy is just like multiples. It means I have so many babies, just like a bunch of grapes. I'm carrying at least ten right now," Renee declared confidently.Oliver was thrilled upon hearing this. "Really? Neenee, you're practically a miracle for the Orwell family!"Renee straightened her back even more dramatically. "From now on, I need to focus even more on my nutrition," she said, then cast a mocking glance at me. "Multiples are much rarer than twins. After all, not just anyone can carry them."‘Indeed, a life-threatening pregnancy like yours is something no one else would want to carry,’ I thought to myself.As Renee's supposed multiples outshined my 'twins,' she once again became the center of everyone's attention and care.Renee firmly believed she was carrying divine babies, so she made sure not to starve her ten sons, indulging
Brady immediately denied it. "No, my mom would never do something like that."I looked at him quietly. "Anything is possible. Would you avenge the children?"Brady did not answer my question and quickly walked away.After that, we were not on speaking terms for several days. During that time, every time Renee saw me, she would gloat, "Some women live such miserable lives. But not me! My husband and son love me so much.”I deliberately rubbed my belly and smiled faintly. "I'm carrying Brady's children. It won't be long before he comes back to me on his own, and then I'll have him move out with me."Renee glared at me furiously. "You wouldn't dare!"I raised an eyebrow at her. "Just wait and see!"She looked at my belly with a flash of malice in her eyes.Just as I expected, after a week of not talking, Brady coincidentally came to make peace on my birthday. He booked a fancy rooftop restaurant for a romantic dinner, with plans for us to watch the fireworks.When Renee heard abo
Renee pouted immediately. "But we act like this at home all the time! Am I no longer your precious little darling when we're outside?"Her words only made the onlookers give Brady even more amused glances.Unable to bear it any longer, Brady pulled away from Renee and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Mom, today is Eloise's birthday. We can't leave the birthday girl behind."Let's head inside, honey. Our table is ready."He deliberately raised his voice so everyone around would understand his relationship with Renee.As he guided me forward, I walked past Renee and flashed her a silent smile. Her face darkened instantly.At the table, Brady and I sat on opposite sides under the glow of romantic candles and enjoyed our perfectly cooked steaks while Renee took the middle seat.Brady handed me a plate of sliced steak, but before I could reach for it, Renee snatched it up. She batted her eyelashes at Brady. "Bubba, Neenee's so hungry."She started eating right away, abandoning
Brady was speechless for a long time. Just then, Oliver and Renee arrived at the hospital.The first thing Oliver did was scold him. "Brady, how could you leave your mother alone at the restaurant? She's never been there before, and she's pregnant. What if something happened?"Renee immediately leaned on his shoulder, sobbing theatrically."It was so awful, honey! I almost didn't make it back from that place all alone."I even ran into some bad people, but luckily I remembered your number."The room filled with Renee's exaggerated, pitiful cries.Frustrated, Brady shouted, "Mom, can you stop? Eloise had a miscarriage! You killed my unborn children!"For a brief moment, the room went silent, and Renee's cries grew even louder."It wasn't on purpose! I didn't know she was so weak that a little push would make her lose the babies!"It's no big deal. When my ten babies are born, I'll give you two to raise."Oliver tried to calm the situation. "The twins are gone now. There's no u
