Chapter 1153 Drive Him Away

"Enough!" Edmont shouted regretfully. "Stop arguing. It's all my fault. What's the point of

accusing who's right and who's wrong now? No matter what happens, don't let our

grudges affect Alex and Jean. If the two children truly love each other, let's support them!"

"Support them?" Stefanie snorted, "Don't even think about it!"

Irked by her reply, Alex frowned again. "The situation is already clear. Not only does

blaming any of you have nothing to do with Jewel and me, but none of you have the right

to stop us, either!"

"As long as you are my son, I will never agree!" Stefanie declared, and Alex wouldn't back

down either. "In that case, you're making me sever our mother-son relationship!"

The mother and son came to a standstill once more.

It seemed that bringing up the past did nothing. Stefanie still harbored resentment toward

Winnie and Edmont. She still refused to accept Alex and Jewel being together.

The air suddenly fell into a silent loop.

At that, Olivia took a deep breath and glanced around to read the room before speaking

up softly, "Mrs. Road, I understand that this is a family matter, and I shouldn't interfere.

But Jewel is my best friend, whom I've gone through thick and thin with, and my

boyfriend's foster sister. My boyfriend also happens to be sworn brothers with Alex. I still

want to advise you, Mrs. Road. People often say that there's always something to gain

after losing. Although your marriage with Mr. Road isn't fortunate, you have an

outstanding son. He's handsome, decent, and the renowned CEO of Road Enterprises, Alex

Road. Who doesn't know him? Women from all over the city want to be his, yet for more

than twenty years, you two have relied on each other. No matter what happens, he always

takes care of your feelings and almost obeys your words. It was your care and nurture that

has led to his achievements today."

Although Stefanie didn't particularly like Olivia, thinking that she would only speak in favor

of Jewel, she listened with a sense of resentment, but upon hearing what she said, she felt

somewhat relieved and even proud.

Yes, her son had always been excellent!

She snuck a peek at her son, who was holding Jewel's hand tightly as if afraid of losing

her, and her heart twinged.

At that, she murmured, "If so many women want to be his, why can't he love someone

else?"

"Yeah, why can't he love someone else?" Olivia echoed. "Isn't it simply because he only

loves that one person? You were also once young, Mrs. Road, so you should understand

this feeling of unwavering love—and even adoration. I heard you asking Miss Parker why

she didn't pursue other relationships after you married Mr. Road. Now, I'd like to ask you:

why haven't you remarried all these years?"

Stefanie glared daggers at her as if her thoughts had been suddenly exposed. "What are

you trying to say?" she retorted, being defensive.

Olivia smiled. "I'm trying to say that emotions defy reason. Even if someone hurts you or

lets you down, even if everyone advises you to let go, you still can't bear to do so. Alex is

your son, and his temperament and character naturally come from you. What wrong does

he have? He is merely in love with a woman, that's all. You are his mother, and you should

understand Alex's state better than us. Look at the two of them; they have become pale

and emaciated."

She continued, "You may not know how much pain Alex endured when he thought he and

Jewel were siblings. He almost drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day. Later, we helped

them confirm through a DNA test that they are indeed not siblings. He was happy but then

started worrying about your feelings. They have been torturing each other like this. They

haven't seen each other for over two months. If there was another way, it certainly

wouldn't come to this."

Then, she added, "Alex has made efforts, and he has considered your feelings. From eight

years ago until now, he has only ever liked one person, Jewel. It's truly cruel to make him

choose between you and Jewel. Can you bear to drive away such an outstanding son, Mrs.

Road? If you do, there will be no shortage of people willing to take him."
