Laura had taken to study, and enjoyed all aspects of nursing. Hallelujah.
She made new friends at university to add to her circle. She enrolled on a hospital banking scheme to work hours as a care assistant, to gain knowledge, to gain extra funds. Laura spent three evenings a week with The Boyfriend.
The Boyfriend’s one-night stand, which resulted in a baby? The baby arrived, a girl. The Boyfriend carried the baby’s photograph in his wallet. Said he wasn’t sure if baby were his. What the! Laura obliged His instruction, she waited outside in the car as The Boyfriend disappeared into Baby Mamma’s house to visit his offspring, the baby he said was not his.
Two years into the three-year nursing course. Husband and I came home from holiday. Laura had got engaged. The Boyfriend had gazed in the jeweller’s window at the sparkly rings, and let his mother choose the one to buy. I cried. We chinked glasses of champagne to wish them well.
Where would they live? House prices were soaring. Laura was a student. Husband and I had secreted funds for our daughter’s future, for a deposit on a house. It was time to make this known. This was an exciting time for Laura.
Laura and The Boyfriend chose a house perfect for them. His mother did not like it. The house purchase was cancelled. The couple found another house that needed renovation. The house was purchased with our money as a deposit.
No stipulation was given whom owned the money we gave.
