Chapter 19 Plot Twist

• Cary immediately stood up to stop me with a conflicted look on his face.
• Naturally, he was not willing to do what I requested. After all, the house was in the center of Jadeborough. Property prices had risen greatly in the last two years. In last year alone, the prices had gone up by forty percent. As such, that house was probably worth more than a million by now. Moreover, the house was under his name and it was purchased before our marriage. To him, it was a golden goose. It was obvious that he would not be willing to let it go just like that.
• As for me, while the house's financial value was important, its sentimental value meant more to me. My mother had been so strict with me all the way until I graduated from university. In fact, I didn't think I have ever seen her smile. The only time she was nice to me was when she bought my bridal home. That was the only evidence of her motherly love, which was why I was hell-bent on getting it back.
