My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 707

Oliver immediately looked over at Selena, concern filling his eyes.

Tears welled up as Selena cried, "It's nothing, really. I'm fine."

Seeing her trying to hold back her emotions only made Oliver feel worse. "What happened? Tell me now!"

Clearly upset, Selena looked at him, her voice trembling. "It's just... my mother-in-law keeps bringing up my background. She says I'm just an illegitimate child, and marrying her son was the luckiest thing to ever happen to me. She even told me to learn from my mom, be more tolerant, let my husband have other women, and have more kids... And she also said..."

Marisa quickly interrupted, anxious. "And what else did she say?"

Selena's voice cracked as she continued, "She said that when I have kids, they'll have to be raised by her. Having children with my illegitimate status would just be embarrassing! How could I ever live with that?" She sobbed harder now.

Marisa's expression turned to anger. "How could she say such things? This is all my fault! I ruined your future because I was the other woman. My poor daughter, you're suffering because of me..."

Selena gently replied, "Mom, I'm okay. I don't care about those things. But lately, I keep thinking about it, and the idea of being separated from my children someday makes me really sad."

Marisa sighed deeply. "Is that why you seemed so upset in front of Grandma today? Is that why she kicked you out?"

Selena nodded, her eyes red from crying. "That's part of it. Uncle taking over Great-Grandma's care didn't help either. I mean, who wouldn't want to be surrounded by happy family members? But really, it's fine."

She wiped her tears. "Dad, I'm okay. Tomorrow, I'll smile more, I promise."
