She shouted so loudly that the music stopped on its own. The guests stood frozen in shock, and she continued: — We need a boy! A girl is useless! At that moment, something snapped inside me. I looked at the cake… at her twisted, hateful face… and realized I wouldn’t tolerate one more second. So…
— Just not a girl… anything but a girl… I rolled my eyes but tried to keep the celebration going. But everything fell apart the moment we cut the cake. The knife slid through the cream, and in front of everyone, bright pink layers appeared. The guests gasped with joy. My husband hugged me. And…

With her arms crossed and an irritated expression, she said dryly: — Well… I hope it’s a boy. Girls are nothing but trouble. We need an heir to carry on the family name. — The most important…
