Chapter 122
You Will Marry A Better Guy
Jayden raised an eyebrow and asked calmly, "Didn't you threaten to sever our ties to force me to come back?"
Tess swallowed hard and looked down at her feet. She had indeed said that to force Jayden to come back.
However, she felt that she was entitled to play such a card since she was Jayden's mother, but he ought to know that he wasn't qualified to say the same to her!
Looking up at Elyse, Tess dumped all of her anger on her, saying, "This is all your fault! You are a woman sent by the devil to create a rift between me and my son under the guise of being a daughter-in-law! My son should have never had anything to do with you! You are nothing but a scourge! I won't accept..."
"Enough!" Jayden thundered at Tess. Pointing an index finger at her, he said icily, "If you dare insult her again, I'm going to sever my relationship with you guys immediately. Surely, you won't be concerned with finally having nothing to do with me since I'm the useless son to you." Andrew, who had said nothing all this while, cleared his throat now that he saw that Jayden was really angry and said, "Calm down Jayden I'm sure your mother doesn't mean all that she said, okay? She's simply upset. Every single one of us can testify to the fact that Elyse is an admirable daughter-in-law."
Jayden scoffed at this and since he wasn't interested in having any more conversation with them, turned around and stormed out while holding Elyse's hand.
As the duo got back into the car, Elyse turned to face Jayden and said softly, "I can't believe your
parents really treated you like that."
Jayden shrugged and replied, "They care more about what's in their < pockets than family affection." Turning to look at Elyse, Jayden continued, "Seeing just how shameless and self- centered my family members are must make you regretful and aggrieved that you married me, right?"
Stunned by this question, Elyse looked away and whispered under her breath, "Why on earth would I regret marrying you?"
Jayden raised an eyebrow as he tried to make out what she had said. He leaned over to her and asked, "Would you care to tell me what your thoughts are?"
Elyse raised her eyes and stared deeply into his eyes as her heart thumped against her chest. Suddenly, she moved closer to him and kissed him.
When she withdrew her face, a look of surprise filled Jayden's face. Staring at her as she blushed deeply, he asked, "Am I expected to kiss you back?"
Elyse widened her eyes and opened her mouth to say no, but Jayden took her into his arms and planted his lips firmly onto hers before she could say anything.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
When the driver at the wheel saw this through the rearview mirror, he was smart enough to realize that the duo needed their privacy. Quietly, he hit a button and a partition blocked the view of the rear seats from him.
Meanwhile, Kieran, with a pipe in his hand, was busy watering the plants in the
garden.

At that moment, his butler walked up to him and whispered, "Joanna's mother is quite stubborn
than we expected. She called and asked us to deliver the corpse back."
Kieran shrugged and replied casually, "If that's what she wants, then she'll have to pay by herself, cause I won't drop a dime. Joanna made the decision to commit suicide all by herself after failing to carry out her task fully. All because of her, the cooperation plan between the Foster and Owen families is in ruins. Despite the fact that I'm not pointing any accusing fingers at them, they still have the audacity to ask me to pay!".
The butler lowered his head slightly and said, "I'll get your message to them."
Kieran nodded and continued to water the plants. A few seconds later, he turned around and saw his sister, Judy Foster, sitting in a chair, quietly sipping tea.
Smiling sincerely, Kieran walked up to her and asked softly. "The cake must be quite delicious, right?"
Judy sighed and shook her legs, causing her red shoes, which were made out of suede, to glisten in the sun. She looked up at Kieran and said, "Joanna is no more, Kieran. How on earth are you going to make our cooperation with the Owen family work out?"
Frowning, Kieran sat in front of her and said doubtfully, "Well, me and Dad have discussed this issue at length with Enzo, but he still insisted that the only way forward was for someone to marry Jayden."
Judy raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why is he insisting on Jayden sc < much? Isn't there

Kieran shrugged and replied, "That is a question that actually baffles me also. In fact, I inquired
about this from Enzo, but he didn't provide me with an answer."
Cocking his head slightly, Kieran studied Judy for a moment and then asked, "When did you become interested in this stuff?"
Judy set aside the teacup in her hand and sat up with ambition in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "You should let me marry Jayden."
Stunned, Kieran asked, "Why on earth would you want that for yourself? Jayden is nothing but a loser and doesn't deserve you. Besides, Dad is in the process of picking another guy for you." Remembering that Judy's heart used to be filled with love for Jayden, Kieran sat up and said with a frown, "Don't tell me that you are still in love with him after all this while. Trust me, Jayden might have been okay for you in the past, but now, he is totally inappropriate."
Judy rolled her eyes and clearly disagreed with her brother. The fact that she was in love with Jayden was all that mattered. To her, this moment, thanks to Jayden's present disability condition, was her best chance to marry him.
Smiling softly, she said, "I warned you before that Joanna shouldn't be allowed to marry Jayden, but you didn't listen to me. It was clear to me from the beginning that she was hesitate. If I had been in her shoes, the Foster family would be way better off."
Kieran hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and replying firmly, "I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your wishes. Jayden doesn't deserve you and that's that! Quit messing around now!"
