She couldn't always be at loggerheads with Mrs. Lopez like this, growing old, he wouldn't even be capable of seeking life if he wants to, the quality of his own life would be terrible.
Mr. Lopez assured Mrs. Lopez that this would be the only child.
Now that he had a child to inherit the family business, his aim had been achieved, he wouldn't bring another one home.
He reassured Mrs. Lopez that she would only have to endure this one.
What could Mrs. Lopez say at this point?
She couldn't simply abandon the child.
This child, it's obvious upon sight that he's Mr. Lopez's offspring.
He looks just like Mr. Lopez.
Especially that fat face and wide ears, narrow eyes and broad mouth.
No average child would look that ugly.
Of course, it also because the child is not of her own making.
So, no matter how Mrs. Lopez looks at him, she'll always find him unattractive, and she feels no pressure in making complaints.
