Conquering System: Harem With Infinite Rebirths - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Disappointed With Mother

Seeing Ben like this, Anya finally felt relieved.

“It seems… what Brother Harry said is right, Ben… Ben really doesn’t like women… That lustful look in his eyes before… was really fake…”

With Harry’s previous preparation and persuasion, Anya immediately assumed Ben was gay. Seeing him like this, she became even more convinced that he had no interest in women and wouldn’t be a threat to her.

“Ben, do you want to come up to my room?”

Seeing how scared he was of her, Anya grew bolder and took the initiative to invite him upstairs. “You’ve never been to my room before, right? I… I can show you today…”

“Ah!? No… no!! Anya! You… you just agreed to my proposal… I… I need to tell my family the good news and discuss our wedding date… I… I should go now!”

Ben looked at Anya as if she were some kind of monster. The more proactive and flirtatious she was, the more terrified he became.

After placing the ring, roses, and a large bag of cash on the dining table, Ben fled the house in a panic and sped off in his Mercedes.

Watching his car disappear, Harry stepped out from the shadows of the stairwell with a smug grin.

“Anya, I wasn’t lying to you, was I? Ben really isn’t into women at all.”

Harry had expected the system’s medicine to be effective, but he hadn’t anticipated just how powerful it would be.

He had only mixed about a tenth of the impotence drug into Ben’s water bottle, but based on the system’s effects, Ben probably wouldn’t be able to perform as a man for the next ten years.

That was more than enough time for Harry’s plans.

Now, everything would be much easier.

“It’s true… I… I never realized before that Ben was actually… like that… He hid it so well… I almost thought he really liked me…” Anya nodded in disbelief, then bit her lip shyly.

“Brother Harry… I just agreed to his proposal… When the time comes… and I marry him… Will you… Will you be jealous?”

“Of course!” Harry pulled her close, his warm hands slipping under her clothes to grope her full breasts. He smirked.

“But for your reputation—and for the sake of our love’s fruit—I’m willing to endure it. As long as Ben never touches you, it doesn’t matter if you marry him.”

“Mmm!~~ Brother Harry!~~~ Isn’t this… a little too bad?” Anya glanced at the diamond ring and cash on the table, suddenly feeling a pang of guilt.

She was accepting all these betrothal gifts, agreeing to marry him, yet she was having an affair with his brother-in-law and planning to have his child…

Even though she told herself it was for love, it still felt morally wrong.

“Silly girl, Ben is gay. Isn’t he just using you as a cover? This arrangement benefits everyone. What’s wrong with that? You’re helping him, so it’s only fair he gives you gifts.” Harry coaxed her smoothly.

“Well… that’s true… Ben marrying me is just to deal with his parents… but… the thought of him liking men is so disgusting…” Anya shuddered in revulsion before smiling in relief.

After leaving Anya’s place, Harry felt exhilarated.

Not only had he slept with his wife’s cousin’s gorgeous, big-breasted girlfriend, but he’d also turned that bastard Ben into a eunuch—forcing him to obediently take on the role of a useless husband from now on.

In the future, when Anya aborted Ben’s child and gave birth to his instead, Ben’s parents would surely bring their “grandchild” to visit Wanda’s family.

Given their personalities, they’d definitely flaunt and boast about it.

The thought alone was delicious.

“Hahahaha…”

Harry laughed to himself in the car. Just as he was about to start the engine, his phone rang.

It was his mother, Flora.

Harry frowned.

Ever since he became a live-in son-in-law and married into the Mackerel family, his own family had distanced themselves from him. His father had even declared he was cutting ties with him.

Harry couldn’t remember how long it had been since he received a call from his mother.

Looking at the word “Mom,” Harry suddenly felt a little strange, a little nostalgic, and a little sad.

When he decided to become a live-in son-in-law, did he do it voluntarily?

Harry also didn’t want to be a son-in-law without dignity and suffer bullying at his wife’s home.

Who wouldn’t like a life where you have parents to love and care for you at home and share the responsibilities with you?

However, his parents’ favoritism toward his brother and the family’s difficulties forced Harry to make this choice.

If it weren’t for the dowry that the Mackerel family gave to Harry, his brother wouldn’t have been able to buy a house or marry such a beautiful and gentle sister-in-law.

If it were in the past, Harry might still have hatred toward his parents, but now, everything had been relieved.

After all, they were his parents. No matter how wronged they were, he should choose to understand them.

After all, he was living a good life now.

Harry felt very happy to be able to marry into Wanda’s family, meet his mother-in-law Hazel, and meet his sisters-in-law Clara and Elena!

If his parents hadn’t been so partial to him back then, and if his brother hadn’t threatened and forced him in private, he probably wouldn’t have the happy life he had today!

Harry answered the phone, said “Hello” carefully, and called out softly with a somewhat unfamiliar feeling: “Mom…”

“Harry… what are you… doing? Have you eaten?” The familiar yet unfamiliar voice of his mother was heard on the phone.

Harry was slightly stunned, and for a moment, he couldn’t hold back his tears, which filled his eyes.

“I haven’t eaten yet, Mom. How are you guys doing recently?” Harry asked with concern.

After marrying into the Mackerel family, Harry had not been home for a long, long time.

The first time he went home after his marriage, Harry was scolded by his father stubbornly and harshly. After that, he lost the courage to go home.

Harry still remembered his father’s slap in the face, his mother’s cold-bloodedness, and his brother’s smug smile vividly!

“Harry… Mom… I heard that you recently made a lot of money by writing… that novel and became a famous writer. You… you must have made a lot of money, right? I… I heard them say… you… you also bought your mother-in-law a Mercedes-Benz worth millions…”

There was a hint of flattering uneasiness and a touch of jealousy in his mother Flora’s voice, which made Harry feel that something must be wrong.

“No, Mom, is there anything wrong?” Harry asked his mother tentatively.

“Oh… hehe… well… don’t be angry with your dad. Your dad scolded you because he didn’t want you to get married… you… don’t take it to heart anymore. When you are free, you should come home more often. Mom… Mom and your dad miss you very much. Look how long you haven’t been home… Many people in the village are gossiping about you!”

Harry was so moved by his mother’s words on the other end of the phone that tears came to his eyes. It had been so many years… It had been so many years since he heard his mother talk to him like this…

In the eyes of his parents, he would never be as good as his brother, he would always be the one with no future, and he would always be the one who brought shame to them.

His brother was too outstanding, but he was too mediocre.

Harry once envied his brother Kaden for being so outstanding.

Harry was once so jealous, jealous that his brother could get all the love from his parents.

But now, everything was over, and Harry didn’t want to care about it anymore.

Harry was very happy that his mother took the initiative to invite him home. His first thought was to tell his mother the good news that his wife Wanda was pregnant.

“Okay, Mom, I’ll take some time out these days to bring Wanda home. There’s a piece of news I haven’t told you yet. Wanda is pregnant! You and Dad are going to be grandparents soon…” Harry said to his mother on the other end of the phone with a smile.

“Oh… that’s great. Since Wanda is pregnant, don’t let Wanda come all the way here. You can just come by yourself.”

What Harry didn’t expect was that after hearing that Wanda was pregnant, his mother seemed very indifferent. She just responded casually and then deliberately and tactfully rejected Harry’s idea of taking Wanda with him.

This made Harry feel even more foreboding.

This made Harry feel even more foreboding.

Sure enough, the next moment, his mom jumped into the real reason for the call, her voice quick and a little flustered, like she’d been holding it in too long.

“Harry… honey, it’s just that… well, you know the house your brother bought a while back? It was… it was really small. At the time, things were tight—we didn’t have much, and we could only afford that little place, just around 700 square feet. It wasn’t ideal, but… it was what we could manage.

And now… well, you know, your sister-in-law just had the baby—a big, healthy boy, thank God—but… it’s just not working. The space is too small for the three of them, it’s way too cramped, and they’re trying, they really are, but… it’s not a good environment for a newborn.

So… so your father and I, we were thinking maybe we could help them move into something bigger. But, Harry, you know how things are now—prices have gotten outrageous. It’s five hundred or six hundred thousand dollars to buy a decent house, and we just… we just can’t keep up with that.

And… well… you—you’ve done so well. You’re a real writer now, and we’re all so proud of you. You’ve made good money, and it’s just… maybe, if it’s not too much, maybe you could… lend your brother a bit? Just to help them get started? We wouldn’t ask if it weren’t important, Harry. You know that, right?”

Hearing the purpose of his mother calling him today, Harry took a deep breath, his eyes filled with disappointment and pain.
