Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: I’ll cook and clean myself

If I took care of the water and electric bills, that would take about a quarter of the money I had. It was still early in the month, and who knew when Diana would give me the next allowance? In any case, I had no choice because we needed water and power. We couldn’t use water from buckets and candles for light. Diana was certainly not going to take care of it, and no one else was going to help me.

In this life, I wouldn’t let Diana’s antics stress me out. I would cook and clean for myself and make money my own way.

I went to the large kitchen and checked the cupboards and fridge to see what was inside. There wasn’t much to cook with, and the fridge was empty because there was no power.

"Let’s go take care of the power and water bills and then let’s go shopping to get ingredients," I told Tony.

After preparing ourselves to go out, we left the house and rushed to go pay the bills before the offices closed. We then went to the grocery store to get ingredients to make dinner.

Returning home I was glad to see the power was working and we had water. Tony and I began to prepare dinner. I had him help me either cut some ingredients or put them into the pot.

"Mmhmm, mum this is really good!" He commented as he ate. "I didn’t know you could cook!"

I smiled as he complimented my cooking. I’m glad he didn’t have too many questions about why I knew how to cook. I had years of practice unbeknownst to him. We ate dinner and washed the dishes, then I had him prepare for bed. After he brushed his teeth, I tucked him into his bed

"So tomorrow you’re really not going to see Daddy?" he asked.

I recalled that on Sundays when Keith didn’t go to work, I would go to his home (our former home) and demand to see him. He never let me see him, of course.

"No, I’m going to stay with you," I assured Anthony. He smiled at me with a look of relief.

"Sleep tight, Tony. I love you," I told him and kissed him on his forehead.

"Tony, you have school tomorrow remember to make sure all your books are packed, your uniform and your bag is ready," I reminded him once we returned home . 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
