His Whispering Heart

Summary

After the divorce, my mother immediately stuck her nose back into my love life.

She found a guy. An engineer. Handsome, loaded, and he spent nine months of the year working on remote job sites.

His only drawback? A five-year-old son who was allegedly "mentally unstable."

My mother asked if I minded being a stepmom.

I laughed. Why go through labor when you can just push a button and get a kid instantly? Isn't the government worried about the birth rate anyway?

I’ll take that deal.
