❝do you think i do not know what it means to be an unmarried lady?❞ she asked pursing her lips ❝i know i am not as protected as long as my son is young, because i am not married. however, if i married, any money i have, say for my sons money, would be taken by my husband. i would be edged out, and who knows how he would treat my son. so yes it is risky, but i am looking out for my son, and myself.❞
