I knew that my parents were doing it for me and Lou, but I couldn't help feeling uneasy. For a moment, I didn't know what to say. After a long silence, I let out a sigh and slowly said, "Mom, Dad, I think we should take it slow with the house situation. It's nice living like this for now." "Even if I have a child, we can still live here. As for Lou, he's only a sophomore in college. It's too early for him to get married." "When he starts working and becomes financially stable, maybe he'll be able to buy a house himself. And even if he can't, as his older sister, I can support him. Mom, Dad, you can keep your money and live comfortably in the house. You don't have to worry, I'll take care of Lou." "You've worked hard and sacrificed a lot for us siblings throughout your lives. It's enough." When we were young, our parents took care of us and raised us. Now that we've grown up, we can't just keep accepting their sacrifices as if it's a given. Now, it's time for us to show our gratitude to them. Especially after everything that has happened this year, starting from my divorce with Julius Keaton, my parents have been worrying about me a lot. It really breaks my heart. After I finished speaking, my eyes started to well up with tears, and my mom's eyes turned red too. But she managed to force a smile and held my hand in hers, speaking in a cheerful tone, "What nonsense are you talking about, my child? You and Lou are my flesh and blood. Your dad and I will take care of you." "There's no such thing as hardship. For your dad and me, all we want is for you and Lou to live happily and have a peaceful life." "Look at you now, with Han and a baby in your belly. You have no idea how happy your dad and I are, Lili. I hope you can continue to be this happy forever."I was already emotionally unstable, and being pregnant probably made me more sentimental. Whenever I watched a movie or TV drama with even a slightly emotional plot, I would be moved to tears. Now, hearing my mom say these words to me, I couldn't hold back anymore. Tears streamed down my face like beads falling off a broken string. "Mom!" I was so overwhelmed with emotions that I hugged my mom with a sobbing voice and tears streaming down my face. My mom seemed a bit startled by this sudden outburst and quickly stopped me, gently patting my back. "Oh dear, what are you doing? You're already grown up and about to become a mother yourself. How can you cry like this? Han is still here, you shouldn't embarrass yourself!" "Come on, stop crying. We're just having a conversation, and it's not good for you and the baby to cry like this."I couldn't control my emotions in that moment, but hearing my mom's words made me feel embarrassed. Feeling frustrated, I slowly stopped crying, but I still held onto my mom tightly. The gloomy atmosphere that was present earlier dissipated a bit with my outburst. Even my dad couldn't help but hand me a few tissues, comforting me, "Alright, alright. You're already grown up, what's the point of crying like this?" My dad was not the type to sweet talk or use soft words, but his meaning was clear. By now, I had stopped crying, but I still buried my head in the crook of my mom's neck. "Wife, be good. Let's talk about this calmly. If you cry like this, your parents will worry." That was Dominic Hartnell's voice. It was the first time he called me like that in front of my parents, and I felt even more embarrassed. If my mom hadn't forcefully straightened my body, I would have wanted to hide for a while longer. Sitting up straight, I looked at the different expressions on their faces, all filled with concern. A warm feeling washed over me. Dominic Hartnell poured me a cup of warm water, and I took it and drank about half of it, calming my emotions before stating my position again. "Cough... Mom, Dad, I'm not against you buying a house, but you can't sell our family's house to do so." "If you insist on doing this... then sell the house and move in with me and Dominic Hartnell to Lightspring. His house in the city center is big enough for all of us, even if Lou comes to visit during holidays." I intentionally said this, knowing that my parents would never agree to live with me and Dominic Hartnell. As expected, as soon as I finished speaking, my dad immediately voiced his opposition. "What nonsense are you talking about? We can't just follow you and live like that. What would Han's parents think?"My mom chimed in, "Lili, you can't mess around with this matter. It will only invite gossip." Although I know that my parents would not agree to come and live with me and Dominic Hartnell, I was a little upset by what she said. "Why are you talking nonsense? I am your daughter, what's wrong with you living with me? Who said that once you get married, you can't bring your parents to live with you?" My dad glared at me angrily and said in a deep voice, "If we were to live with you, it should be with your father-in-law and mother-in-law. It's not right to live with your own parents." "Just because you want to, doesn't mean we have to. We will follow Lou in the future, not our daughter who got married." I rolled my eyes, feeling quite dismissive. With my dad being such an old-fashioned person, what kind of logic is this? It's perfectly fine for parents to live with their daughter.Since I couldn't convince them, I had to change the subject and said, "If you don't agree with this solution, then I have another idea." "We can buy a house, but I will pay for it. I can't afford to pay in full, but I can handle the down payment. As for the mortgage, I will take care of it until Lou graduates and finds a stable job. Once he has a stable job, he can take over the payments himself." "He is at least a boy, we have paved the way for him in the beginning, and he should walk the rest of the path on his own. It's not reasonable for us to support him for the rest of his life. Don't you want him to succeed in the future?" I stopped there and observed my parents' reactions. In my opinion, this solution is quite good. Except for those who are wealthy, most families follow this process when buying a house for their children. For me, I only have one thought, which is to prevent my parents from squandering their money and not let them lose the house they have lived in for decades. Just by looking at my parents' expressions, I could tell that they probably wouldn't agree. Sure enough, both my father and mother expressed their unanimous opposition, and the topic of purchasing a house reached a stalemate for a while. In that moment, Dominic Hartnell, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up, "Father, I have an idea. Would you and mother like to hear it?"
