Peter awkwardly scratched his nose. "I was just a kid back then, I didn’t know better."
"That's not an excuse for bullying girls," Eva shot back, giving him a sidelong glance. "And besides, she was quite pretty. When she was younger, she was insecure because her family didn't have much money. She wore her sister's old clothes and was so small and thin that she looked like a sparrow, so she didn't attract much attention. But now that she's grown up, just look at how beautiful she is! Your Aunt Anna and I wanted a pretty daughter, and she perfectly fit the bill, so naturally, we adopted her."
"Let’s not worry about Irina for now. Why can Zhuo Ya stay at home while I have to live with my big brother?" Peter protested.
He wanted to make a case for himself; living under Sister-in-law's watchful eye every day was too difficult. Eva huffed in annoyance. "If you had put in some effort and studied hard, you wouldn’t have to stay at someone else's house. Zhuo Ya is very independent, and since Irina has been taken in, why not just go home?"
"I want to go home too."
Ignoring her son's hopeful gaze, Eva replied, "Just stay at your big brother's house obediently. You'll be free once you go to university."
"Can I at least have some pocket money?" Peter asked.
He grinned as he pinched his thumb and index finger together. "I want to buy a drone to play with during the holidays. My phone is still the one I got last New Year; it's slow now, and my computer is the same."
Eva continued driving without responding. Noticing his mother’s silence, Peter pouted and turned his head to look out the window in frustration. As soon as the car stopped outside his cousin's building, he jumped out and slammed the door behind him before quickly entering the apartment building.
That little brat dared to give me attitude? Suka Blyat!
Eva's temper flared up as she got out of the car and chased after him, cornering Peter by the elevator. She gave him a swift kick followed by a series of slaps. Initially full of grievances, Peter's expression instantly cleared as he covered his face and looked at his mother in confusion. "Why are you hitting me?"
"Why am I hitting you?" Eva pointed her index finger at his chest. "First of all, your attitude is unacceptable. Secondly, your mother gives you one hundred thousand rubles every month; your Aunt Anna secretly gives you money from time to time too, and your grandparents send you pocket money every month."
"Don’t think I don’t know about this! We buy all your clothes and daily necessities for you. How can you say that twenty-something thousand rubles a month isn’t enough?"
"I want to save up for an off-road vehicle," Peter mumbled quietly.
He looked down as he continued, "Once my birthday comes around, I’ll be able to get my driver’s license. After that, I want to buy a car and take Lisa and Uncle Andong out during summer vacation. Plus, I want to get a drone to capture the scenery along the way."
"Really?" Eva's tone softened.
Hearing there might be hope, Peter perked up immediately, feeling all his aches vanish as he grabbed his mother's hand eagerly, nodding repeatedly. "Yes! Yes! Mom! I heard there’s a new version of the drone coming out at the end of the year with an integrated platform! I want it!"
Eva rubbed Peter’s handsome face affectionately. "I’ll talk to your dad about it; consider it your coming-of-age gift."
"Long live Mom!"
Peter joyfully hugged Eva and jumped around before being ushered into the elevator by her. In the blink of an eye, he had grown taller than her by half a head since those days when he only knew how to cry.
Eva smiled as she drove back home and recounted what had just happened to Xu Li, who nodded in acknowledgment that she understood.
