My future mother-in-law was right. My parents died before I graduated from college.

During my junior year, my parents went to the south to purchase goods, but they were involved in a car accident. My father died on the spot, and my mother was in the operating room for a whole night, but she eventually became a vegetable.

At that time, I was busy with my internship, running between the hospital and the company every day. Finally, I couldn't hold on any longer and fainted from exhaustion.

Julian felt very distressed to see me becoming more and more haggard. After careful consideration, he suggested that I find a caregiver for my mother.

It's not that I haven't thought about it, but nowadays many caregivers have no professional ethics and secretly abuse patients. I really don't feel comfortable leaving my mother to a stranger.

But Julian said that his sister Melinda was studying nursing and was looking for a job, so he could let her try.

Because I knew her well, I agreed.

As expected, Melinda was very professional and took great care of my mom.

Just like that, after graduation, my mother passed away. After she passed away, I learned that she and my father bought me a villa near the school.

But the villa is too big and I would feel lonely living there alone, so Julian suggested that he and Melinda could move in with me, and Melinda could also help me keep the villa clean.

I had originally planned to get married after graduation and having a stable job, so I accepted Julian's proposal.

After we moved in together, Melinda has always been very nice to me. Sometimes when Julian and I have conflicts, she always stands by me, making me feel at home.

But after today's fight, I suddenly realized something: my future mother-in-law wouldn't think that this house belongs to Julian, right?

Didn’t Julian and Melinda tell her future mother-in-law that this villa is mine?

No wonder she reacted so strongly when she found out I was unemployed.

Thinking of this, I found Julian privately and asked, "Does your mother not know that this villa is mine?"

Julian was stunned. Just as he was about to explain something, he was stopped by Melinda: "Joyce, I told Julian not to tell you. You can blame me if you want. I was the one who told mom that this house belongs to Julian."

"As you know, my mother got seriously ill two years ago and thought she would not live. Her only wish was that Julian could buy a house and settle down in this city."

" But the house prices are so expensive now, how could he afford it? In order to prevent my mother from leaving with regrets, I lied to her and said that Julian made a lot of money at work and bought this villa."

"I just wanted to fulfill the old lady's last wish before she died. I didn't expect that she would use the house as an excuse. I'm really sorry."

Actually, I can understand what Melinda said.

My future father-in-law is in poor health, so Julian and his siblings were raised by their future mother-in-law alone. Which mother doesn't want to see her son get married and start a family before she dies?

Although my future mother-in-law's illness was finally cured, this white lie can temporarily comfort her, and it can be regarded as my filial piety as a future daughter-in-law.

Moreover, Melinda has been very nice to me since she moved in, so I patiently persuaded her: "Sister, I know this is a white lie, but the truth cannot be hidden, I still hope you can tell Auntie as soon as possible."

"If you're worried that Auntie will be troubled by the house, I have a small house at home that my parents bought for investment before they passed away. You can say that it was Julian who bought it, so Auntie can rest assured."

Julian 's eyes immediately turned red when he heard me say that: " Joyce , thank you for always thinking about me. Don't worry, I will explain the house matter to my mother and won't let you suffer any more." I held his hand and joked: "We are almost a family, why bother to thank me? I just don't want my aunt to misunderstand me."

My eldest sister-in-law Melinda also looked at me with a smile: "Joyce is really sensible. Julian, you are so lucky to marry such a daughter-in-law in your previous life."

I smiled shyly, but I felt more and more unsure.

When I resigned this time, I originally wanted to tell Julian about winning the lottery and let him lie down with me.

But what happened in the past two days has made me hesitate. I'd better not show off my wealth for now and wait and see what happens.
