I Paid for Everything,Then My Son Told Me to Disappear Chapter 1

My son had his eye on a car. Everything was settled—all that was left was to pay.

I'd taken the day off work specifically to go with him to the dealership. I was just about to swipe my card when his girlfriend sent a voice message.

"Tell your mom to call an Uber home after she pays. This is our car—yours and mine. If she has any sense, she won't try to ride in it."

I'd scraped and sacrificed to put my son through college. I'd supported him well into his twenties.

Now I was buying him a car outright, and there wasn't even a seat in it for me.

Ignoring the look of disappointment on my face, my son let out a sigh.

"Mom, I'm a grown man. You need to respect boundaries. This car belongs to me and Muriel—it's for our little family. Just pay and head home, okay?"

I nodded, picked up my purse, and walked away.

On my way out, I sent a voice message to my bank manager.

"That fifty thousand—go ahead and lock it into a fixed deposit."

…

I didn't spare a glance at Dylan Lawson's stunned expression. I grabbed my purse and headed straight for the exit.

He froze for a second, then scrambled after me.

He caught my arm, flushed and furious.
