Chapter 925
Sonya voiced out, “Your thoughts put me at ease Nowadays, women are becoming more and more independent.
They are exposed to a greater variety of experiences, and there is also a growing number of people choosing not
to marry or have children. I’ve started to think that we should respect everyone’s choices, whether they choose to
marry or not.”
To which Abigail replied, “Mom, just last week you were on the phone nagging me to hurry up and get married and
have kids. But now you’re saying whether I get married or not doesn’t matter, so which one am I supposed to listen
to?”
Sonya responded with a smile, “Well, I’m thinking from both angles. On one hand, I hope you guys can settle down

causing you to miss out on the wider world”
Abigail reassured her, “Don’t worry, mom. Even if Nelly and I get married and have kids, we’ll continue to work and
not become housewives. We still have dreams to
pursue
Cornelia chimed in, “You might not know this. Our studio is doing better and better. With a little more effort, we’ll be
able to pay off the mortgage.”
As the conversation turned to their new house, Cornelia thought of the room she had specially renovated for her
grandmother, who sadly, could no longer move in. The lights were off, so no one noticed her feelings.
Sonya and Tanisha were also happy to hear that the studio was doing well, “You chose this industry right after
graduation. After all these years of hard work, it’s finally paying off.”
Abigail suggested, “Why don’t you all come to Riverton for Christmas this year? It’s not as cold as Rosenberg in the
winter.”
Both mothers agreed, “Sure, just don’t get sick of us by then”
Cornelia joked, “Not a chance. We’ll take you to try the local delicacies in Riverton.”
Sonya said joyfully. “Sounds great.”
Tanisha then shifted the topic, “I haven’t finished. Once you’re married, you must have your own job. Only when
you can earn your own money can you have a say. Don’t be blinded by so–called love. Most men in this world are
the same, and they don’t keep their promises. There are good men, but they’re few and far between.”
Abigail responded, “But I think Roy treats you really well.”
Tanisha replied, “You only see what’s on the surface, and the reality of the marriage is only clear to those involved.”
Sonya added, “Yes, you definitely don’t want to end up like that poor woman from block six.”

Both Cornelia and Abigail remembered the woman Sonya was referring to. When they were about 18, the woman
committed suicide by jumping into the river with her three–year–old and one–year–old kids. The catalyst was an
argument she had with her husband about asking money for groceries.
Her husband tossed her some coins, while accusing her of only eating and doing nothing to contribute to the
household. She was alone taking care of two young kids, one three and one less than a year old. Anyone who’d
been through it knew how tough it was.
Besides taking care of the kids, she also had to buy groceries, cook, and do housework. All these tasks were already
exhausting, and on top of that, her husband gave her money while accusing her of doing nothing.
The pressures of life left her breathless, and the only person she could rely on had become so cold and heartless. It
was the straw that broke the camel’s back, and she ended up killing herself and her two daughters.
The woman used to have a good job, but after getting married, she was pressured by both her family and her
husband’s family to have kids. She had two daughters in succession, and her family still wanted her to have a son.
