My Husband Wants Me To Take Care Of His Illegitimate Son

While I felt comforted, I also sighed in relief.

Behind the homeroom teacher were a whole slew of reporters and the commander stationed at the capital.

The village mayor came over to congratulate me with a flattering smile. “Scarlet, Ethan is really amazing! I heard that not only did he get a full scholarship, but he’s also going to get an allowance from the government every month. He’ll even get a job offer straight away in the city! You’ll get to enjoy life later!”

[The male protagonist’s second son sure has an impressive group of people coming to congratulate him. So many important people turned up!]

[I look forward to the moment the protagonists reunite with their son!]

Wendy’s face was flushed red with delight, and she was smiling so brightly that her eyes were crinkled into slits.

She had always been stingy, but she declared right then and there that she was going to throw a celebration party in the best restaurant in the city.

Word spread.

On the day of the party, the leader, the reporters, and even the villagers came.

They did not mock me as they usually did. Instead, their words were filled with envy.

“Scarlet, we were really worried about you in the past, but you actually managed to get Ethan into an Ivy League university!”

“If it weren’t for you and Ethan, we wouldn’t have been able to see such a grand spectacle in our lives.”

“That’s right. Steven will be able to rest in peace for having you as his wife and such an outstanding son.”

Upon hearing this, Wendy got angry. She glared at me and shot back, “She’s not the one who got Ethan into the university. All she did was pay for his studies a little. My grandson got into the university because he’s smart.”

But the villagers knew the truth. However, since Wendy was Ethan’s grandmother, they just smiled and said nothing.

Wendy refused to let up, though.

When she saw Ethan filling my glass with water and massaging my back and shoulders, her displeasure reached its peak.

She slammed her glass on the table and started berating me, “Scarlet, you’re so lazy! Ethan is going to do great things in the future. How could you make him serve you?!”

Before I even said anything, Ethan had already started defending me. “I wouldn’t be here today without my mom. If I can’t even serve my mom with my own two hands, how can I serve the country and the people in the future?”

His words earned him a whole room of applause and effectively silenced Wendy.

She glared at me instead and started looking expectantly at the entrance.

Just as I was about to be asked to give a speech on stage, a familiar voice came from the entrance.

“Wait! Scarlet is not my son’s real mother! She has no right to give a speech!”

An outstanding couple swaggered in with a young man.

The woman had a fashionable hairstyle and ran over excitedly in her heels to Ethan. As she held his hand, she said, “I’m your real mother, Ethan! We went to visit you when you were still studying. Do you remember us? Now that you’ve gotten into university, we can finally be a family again!”

The woman was my sister, Margaret.

Together with her was my supposedly dead husband, Steven, and Luke, the son who was supposed to have been kidnapped.
