She exclaimed immediately. A second woman made a comment, stating that she had also seen Amanda that week and thought her belly was big.
Amanda gave a head shake.
“At her age, she ought to be looking after her grandchildren rather than giving birth!
It disgusts me! ” Jane was being judged by Amanda behind her back.
Another elderly woman asked, “Tell me about it. ” What will the infant call her?
Grandma?
Imagine attending parent-teacher conferences while all the other mothers are in their thirties with gray hair.
The members of the book club all laughed at that comment. “Who would want her to have a child?
” Amanda made a mocking grin. Amanda saw Jane at the grocery store a few days later.
She was rubbing her round belly with her hand as she stood near a food shelf.
With a burning desire to learn the father’s name, Amanda rushed to Jane.
She decided to make fun of Jane, who was looking at a shelf of peanuts, before she got to her question. Peanuts, you know, should not be eaten by pregnant women.
It may aggravate allergies! As she got closer, Amanda grumbled.
Jane calmly turned to face her.
My doctor informed me that I am completely healthy and that I do not have a peanut allergy.
She responded, “I do have the go signal to eat peanuts. ” “It has no bearing!
You are endangering a child. You’re so self-centered,” Amanda said out of annoyance.
Jane started to feel unwell just as she was about to respond.
She ran to the nearby restroom after covering her mouth with her hand.
Ugh. Disgusting.
Women your age shouldn’t have children because of this! She was followed by Amanda.
Jane’s daughter and her husband suddenly showed up.
What’s going on?
What are you shouting at my mother? She inquired, I was instructing your mother.
Buying junk food while pregnant is extremely selfish. Amanda stated, “She is putting the baby in danger.
” Furthermore, how does she manage to even lie around?
Is she not a widow?
Jane’s daughter expressed shock. She responded, “First of all, ma’am, with all due respect, my mother’s pregnancy is not your business.
” However, since you are all interfering with her affairs, the truth is that I have been trying to conceive for the past two years, but each pregnancy has resulted in a miscarriage. I tried IVF and surgery, but neither helped.
Our chances, according to the doctor, were zero to none.
Jane’s daughter elaborated, “Adoption was not something I wanted to do.
” When Jane heard her daughter arguing with Amanda, she had just left the bathroom. She made the decision to enter and carry on the narrative.
In order for my daughter and her husband to have the child of their dreams, I offered to be a surrogate mother for them. She added, “This is Billie, my daughter, and her husband Timothy Watson.
” Amanda was taken aback and immediately felt ashamed of her behavior over the past few months.
Hearing Billie’s husband’s name even more astonished her.
Amanda murmured, as if trying to recall where she had heard the name Timothy Watson. It then struck her.
In their state, specifically the one that Amanda used to work for, Timothy Watson was the heir to a corporation worth millions of dollars. She immediately responded, “I’m so sorry.
” I had no idea that having your child was such a wonderful present from Jane.
Sincerely, I am sorry.
Billie stated, “You don’t have to apologize to me. ” She then looked at her mother, hoping Amanda understood.
Jane, I apologize for judging you without knowing your story. I hope you will pardon me,” Amanda cried.
She learned a valuable lesson about self-control because she was put in her place.
Amanda pledged to be better after Jane forgave her.
After her daughter and son-in-law, Amanda was Jane’s first visitor at the hospital when she gave birth. Amanda helped Jane recover by taking care of the baby each time she went to Jane’s house and making sure to inquire if she needed any assistance.
Amanda ended up changing her ways and becoming close friends with Jane.
