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 kept delaying introducing me to his parents, and our marriage plans stalled. His mother coldly told me I had no right to call her “mother,” but it turned out the cause was a misunderstanding involving Yosuke’s ex, Emi. Eventually, we finally managed to have the long-awaited family introduction toward marriage.
Yosuke’s mother welcomed us and sincerely apologized for her cold attitude and harsh words. Yosuke also reflected and declared he would now act with me, Linze, and our baby in mind. Though I was tossed around by this mother and son, I want to believe they’ll cherish us from now on. Today, his mother is a doting, gentle grandma to Linze and the baby. The past can’t be erased, but we can build a new bond. I just hope she’ll keep showering her grandchildren with love.
