Frank and Ivy exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with excitement.
Ivy's mother approached me and smiled broadly. "Dear in-Law, you’ve made the right decision."
She then draped her arm around my shoulder and addressed Frank and Ivy, “From now on, you two must take good care of her. If you dare cause trouble, I won't let you off the hook.”
Both Frank and Ivy smiled and agreed.
But I didn't believe a single word of their promise.
My uncle said, “Alright, since it's settled, let's go handle the paperwork.
But I did not move.
He furrowed his brows in displeased. “You're not going back on your word so soon, are you?”
I shook my head. “It's the weekend. The housing bureau isn't open. Let’s go there on Monday. We can transfer it then.”
Frank and Ivy discussed it briefly before agreeing. Then they all left.
Within five minutes, the house that had been filled with noise and commotion fell completely silent.
I wiped away my tears and packed my belongings.

Just then, I got a call from the real estate agent.
