All Chapters of The Unwanted Son: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

In my past life, my selfish son, Mathias Keyton, got himself a girlfriend when he first started studying at university.When he introduced his girlfriend to us, we were very satisfied with her behavior and demeanor.At first, my husband, Thomas Keyton, and I thought that Mathias had already grown up into a mature adult and wanted to settle down with his girlfriend.But who would've thought that reality would be the exact opposite?Mathias' girlfriend, Pamola Dentworth, may have looked fragile and dainty, but she was actually a woman who clung to her mother and prioritized her little brother's needs more than anything else. Also, she was very vain and materialistic.Honestly speaking, Pamola had to be one of the worst people I had ever met.After she married Mathias, she suggested that we live together. Her excuse was that she wanted to take good care of us. But Pamola was quick to convince Mathias to give the house Thomas and I had bought for them to her brother. In fact, she e

During this period, Mathias still had a grudge against me for scolding him back then. Till now, he refused to talk to me.Of course, I enjoyed the tranquility that came with his radio silence.Whenever Mathias came to talk to me, it'd always be about asking me for money. To him, I was just as useful as a free ATM.Pamola, on the other hand, began appearing around me frequently. I knew what she was doing, but I didn't expose her right away. The sight of her looking so stiff and awkward made me chuckle on the inside."Pamola, wash some fruits before serving them on a plate.""Pamola, this coffee table is too filthy. Come clean it up.""Pamola, the laundry is done. You should go hang it.""Mom, I'm a little tired. Why don't you do that yourself? Whenever I'm home, my mom doesn't have the heart to let me do all these chores."Pamola pretended to be exhausted as she sank on the couch. After that, she didn't move an inch.I turned to look at her silently. Finally, Pamola's unnatural

I folded my arms in front of my chest while watching Yolanda put on a one-woman show quietly.At that moment, the front door was opened with a click. Thomas had returned from his job.He frowned when he noticed how tense things were. Then, he quickly approached me and eyed me from head to toe. Only when he observed that I wasn't getting bullied did the frown between his brows dissipate."What's wrong?" he asked me, as though he didn't notice that there were other people at home.Thomas had never liked the Dentworths from the start. Every time they visited, he merely sat in a corner without saying anything. He didn't really do anything other than show them the basic courtesy."Nothing much. It's just that Mathias' in-laws are met with a challenge that they can't overcome. Think about it—two certainly elderly people have come across an insanely difficult hardship, so they want to move in with us and leech from us."Don't say anything first, Thomas. I'd like to hear what else they h

In order to stop Mathias and the Dentworths from affecting my company's reputation by repeating their woes over and over again in public, I decided to apply for an outstation position after discussing the matter with Thomas. That way, I'd be able to start furthering my career overseas.Honestly, Thomas had plans to further his own career overseas as well during the first quarter of this year. But he never carried out his plan because he had cared about Mathias and the Dentworths back then.Having seen the way they tried to hurt me that day, Thomas finally saw Mathias and the Dentworths' true colors. He no longer held out hope for them.So, he agreed to the academic exchange program the university had applied for. He'd be heading to his new unit with me next week.Before that, I wanted to get some matters sorted out first.I canceled the subsidiary card I had previously applied for Mathias. All I left for him was a card with an account that contained less than 20 thousand dollars i
