Chapter 12 — I Don't Need The House You Returned

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

Ha's mother said coldly:

“How difficult it is for a divorced woman to raise two children alone.”

“What if I help for half a year?”

I looked at her.

“Then please help.”

“You are also a mother.”

Her face turned pale.

"Uncle is old and his health is not good."

“So my time cannot be used.”

“As for my time, I can.”

Ha Dinh Chau stood between us.

“I will arrange a maid.”

"Lam Man's child doesn't need me to take responsibility."

“If you return now, Du An's life will not have any changes.”

“It's changed.”

I just went upstairs.

“Your room has been given away.”

“Parent seats were also given up during parent activities.”

“Even dad's time has to be given up.”

“Everyone tells me to understand things.”

“Because the twins don't have a father.”

“Because Lam Man just got divorced.”

“Because other people are more pitiful.”

“So what about you?”

“Just because you have everything, do you deserve to give up everything?”

Ha Dinh Chau was silent. Lam Man suddenly stood up.

“I don't go to training anymore.”

“Tomorrow I will take the children and move out.”

“Tinh Dao, is that okay?”

The older twin sister suddenly raised her head.

“Mom, didn't you say we wouldn't follow you?”

Lam Man's face immediately changed.

“Don't talk nonsense.”

“Mom said the house in Nam Thanh is very small.”

“And after finishing the training course, maybe mom will stay there to work.”

My sister also burst into tears.

“Mom said that after Aunt Kieu returns, she will take care of us for me.”

"As long as we behave well, I won't have to come home every day."

In the living room, only the twins' sobs remained. Lam Man quickly hugged the two children.

“I didn't mean that.”

“Mom just said that Aunt Kieu will help.”

“My mother herself said that she never worked.”

The older sister cried even harder.

“Mom also said she is the best at taking care of children.”

“I was also raised by her.”

Ha Dinh Chau slowly turned to look at Lam Man.

“Are you planning to stay in Nam Thanh?”

“I just had that opportunity.”

“Why didn't you tell me?”

“What about telling me?”

Lam Man's eyes also turned red.

“For the past six years, I have raised the children almost alone.”

“Can't I have my own life?”

“You yourself said Tinh Dao would eventually return.”

“You yourself said that she is soft-hearted, leaving the children to her is the most reassuring.”

Ha Dinh Chau's face was extremely unsightly.

“I didn't tell you to just leave the kids behind forever.”

“But you agreed to it for half a year.”

“What happens after half a year?”

“If after half a year I get a brand contract, do you want me to give up?”

“Didn't you always say not to miss an opportunity?”

Ha Dinh Chau turned to me, as if wanting to explain.

“I didn't know she planned to stay in Nam Thanh for a long time.”

“I only agreed for half a year.”

“Isn't half a year enough time?”

"During that half year, picking up and dropping off children, eating, getting sick, and holding parent meetings, who will be responsible?"

“You can hire people.”

“You didn't say that at first.”

“You said there was someone in the house.”

“That person is me.”

“I didn't know Lam Man would extend the training period.”

“But from the beginning, you intended to take advantage of me.”

Ha Dinh Chau choked.

“Tinh Dao, I'm not taking advantage of you.”

“We are husband and wife.”

“So my time is also yours?”

“Your room Am I yours too?”

"My child has to give in, but you can make promises for someone else?"

“Ha Dinh Chau, it doesn't matter whether Lam Man lied to you or not.”

“Whoever she wants to give her child to is her business.”

“What caused us to divorce was because you thought I had no right to refuse.”

Panic appeared in his eyes for the first time.

“Now I know.”

“Anything in the future, I will ask you first.”

“Lam Man will move out tonight.”

“The children will come too.”

The twins cried even harder. Lam Man looked at him in disbelief.

“Dinh Chau, I start training tomorrow.”

“Now you tell me to take the children away, what should I do?”

“That's my job.”

His voice was cold and hard, as if if he immediately clearly defined the boundaries, all problems would disappear. I stopped Aunt Dao who was about to call someone.

“No need to chase.”

Ha Dinh Chau looked at me.

“Don't you want her here?”

“It's because I don't want to stay.”

“Whether she goes or not tonight is no longer of my concern.”

“You don't need to chase her away to prove you chose me.”

“I am not an option.”

I gave the list of things to the porter.

“Six boxes in the master bedroom.”

“If the old equipment on the rooftop is still there, it will also be moved.”

“Other things are not needed.”
