Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Chapter 367

Seeing the fanatical stubbornness in Mrs. Sutton’s eyes, Mr. Sutton fell silent.

He knew his wife had suffered one major blow after another in recent months. And hadn’t he, too?

First, the death of their younger son, Elias Sutton. Then the miscarriage of their "grandson," only to later discover the "grandson" wasn’t even of the Sutton bloodline. And now, this had happened to their older son, Ethan Sutton...

Losing a son and a grandson one after the other was enough to break anyone, to cause a complete mental collapse. And when a person’s mind is unstable, they subconsciously seek something to cling to for spiritual support.

That was why she had grown to trust the so-called Mr. Caelus more and more, clutching his words like a lifeline.

Mr. Sutton could understand his wife’s perspective, but...

Still, he couldn’t accept letting a strange woman just move into their home.

He hesitated for a moment before asking, "We only bought so much food. It might not even be enough for the three of us..."

"...There’s a blizzard raging outside, so it’s too late to buy more. If we just let her move in... what if we run out of food?"

Since Sutton Enterprises went bankrupt, the Sutton family had lost all its former glory. They were now just living off their savings.

A while ago, they sold their villa in a prime downtown location and moved to The Metropolis Residences. Although they still had some savings, they were quickly draining their reserves.

To prepare for the blizzard, they had to use a large portion of their savings to hoard enough food and fuel, finally stocking up on enough supplies for the three of them to last half a year.

Seeing their savings dwindle, Mr. Sutton was growing truly panicked.

There was no telling how long this blizzard would last. The supplies they had stockpiled might not even be enough for the three of them. Now, with Joanne White added to the mix, it was just making a bad situation worse.

Hearing this, Mrs. Sutton replied nonchalantly, "It’s fine. The Goddess is just one girl, and she’s so thin. How much could she possibly eat? A couple of bowls of rice a day will be more than enough!"

Mr. Sutton still sounded hesitant. "...It’s not just the food. She’ll be in her own room, which means our heating costs will suddenly jump by fifty percent... The coal we bought might not be enough..."

Mr. Sutton’s worries were justified. With Joanne White occupying the spare guest room, the number of rooms needing heat jumped from two to three. The energy consumption would increase drastically, and the fuel they had stored might not be sufficient.

But Mrs. Sutton was in no mood to listen to any of this.

Right now, all she could think about was Ethan finally being able to have a child!

She was a mother. She couldn’t just stand by and watch her son remain so dejected!

Looking at Mr. Sutton trying to talk her down, Mrs. Sutton’s brow furrowed. She demanded, "Sean Sutton, what are you trying to say?! I braved the snow and traveled a long way to personally bring the Goddess back here today!"

"Who am I doing all this for? Isn’t it for the Sutton family line? Isn’t it to give your son an heir? And now you’re standing here making all these excuses... Are you blaming me?!"

Mrs. Sutton’s eyebrows shot up in anger as she said resentfully, "Fine, fine! Since you don’t care about the Sutton family line, why should I, an outsider, care at all!"

"I’ll send the Goddess away right now, and from now on, I won’t get involved in any of the Sutton family’s business! Once this disaster is over, I’m going back to my parents’ house! I won’t stay here and be an eyesore to you!"
