Chapter 280 Man Of The House(Incest/Taboo):>Ep3

• "I swear ever since that night, it was like Anthony Jr. just stopped growing up," I was saying to my neighbor, Joanne, sitting on the front porch of my home. It was the same home I had lived in when my husband had walked out. But it was ten years later now and I was making the payments on the house.
• "I grew up pretty quick after that. I know I was 32, but I wasn't...I'd never been responsible for anything really before. After that, I just... I knew that I needed to do what was necessary to take care of my son. I got a job and I went back to school and finished getting my bachelor's. I realized, when I was doing everything myself, just how little Big Anthony had been doing in the first place. And, you know, the resources I had in myself that I hadn't even realized I had," I said. Joanne nodded along as I spoke. I wasn't bragging or anything. It wasn't like we lived in a mansion or that I was making six figures. But I had, rather quickly, gotten my life in order.
• "You could stand to do a little bit more yard work," Joanne said, smiling gently and looking over her shoulder to where leaves were blowing through my fence and into her yard. But I was too annoyed to joke. I took a sip of my coffee and shook my head.
