I’m Marina, a single mom raising my 5-year-old daughter Linze. I’m 8 months pregnant with my boyfriend Yosuke’s child, but he still hasn’t let me meet his parents, and our wedding keeps getting delayed. His mother doesn’t approve of me and wants him to get back with his ex, Emi, who co-owns a nail salon with him. But when I met Emi, she told me she’s getting married soon and has no interest in Yosuke. I shared this with him.
When I told Yosuke that Emi was already engaged, he was deeply shaken. He had been under the illusion that his ex still had feelings for him. Because of that misunderstanding between him and his mother, I was dragged around so much. If I hadn’t taken action, I might have ended up giving birth without ever getting married. So I pressed Yosuke to either set a date to introduce me to his parents right away, or ignore his mother’s wishes and file the marriage papers at once. I just want to believe he truly regrets everything.
