Chapter 328 An Unreasonable Request

My mother’s countenance changed slightly right after listening to my answer. I wondered what she was pondering in her heart at the moment.

“What’s wrong, Mom?” I questioned her in puzzlement while looking at her with furrowed brows.

“I have something yet to discuss with you, Anna,” my mother answered me after remaining silent for quite some time.

While uttering those words, she was also staring at me with a troubled look. That was the expression she would always make when talking about money. Therefore, I could not help but speculate if she was about to ask for money again. Michael gave my family two hundred thousand only a few days ago. There’s no way they could spend it all so quickly. Right?

 

“What is it?” Despite recognizing that my mother would probably make yet another unreasonable request, I still decided to question her calmly.

“As you can see, Steven’s leg has almost recovered. Since you’ve said that you want him to be independent, could you ask Michael to arrange a less-strenuous job for him, Anna?” Even though she was talking to me, my mother’s gaze was toward Michael. It was apparent that she was waiting for him to give a response.

I felt a little reluctant to accept my mother’s request as I did not want to rely on Michael on everything.

However, I could not say anything since my mother had already made her request known. The only thing I wished for was for Michael to express his stance.
