My Ex-MIL Sent Me a Generous Gift After My Divorce, but Her Clause Made Me Say No — Two Years Later, I Saw Her Crying in the Park

When I married Wyatt, it felt like a whirlwind, but a year later, I discovered his infidelity. The quick divorce left me emotionally shattered. I moved into a small apartment and worked a second job to survive. Then, I received a mysterious package from my ex-mother-in-law, Jill, offering me a lavish apartment on one condition: I give her a grandson.

She demanded I invite Wyatt for a romantic dinner and have a child. Shocked, I refused, preferring to struggle than compromise my dignity. I focused on my job, gained promotions, and met Daniel, a steady man. We married, had a son, Ethan, and my life felt whole again.

Two years later, I saw Jill crying in the park. She told me Wyatt’s second marriage had failed, and he returned to her for help. Despite everything, I felt sympathy. We spoke briefly, and she acknowledged Ethan before leaving. With Daniel by my side, I walked away from my past.
