She Called Me Demented，So I Sold the House I Bought Her

On the drive to my son's place, I mentioned I'd like to stay one night at his house and leave the next morning.

The moment he heard that, his expression shifted. "Mom, the house is a mess. You should really just stay at a hotel."

I frowned. "Your own mother can't stay one night?"

"My wife doesn't allow anyone else to sleep over."

"I'll call her and explain."

When the call connected, Maxine Henson's tone was clearly unhappy, but she agreed in the end.

I knew she was upset, so the second time I visited, I made a point of buying a gold bracelet as a gift for her.
