It was because Belinda had always been in poor health. Although she had gotten a little better recently, she could hardly take any kind stress.
Jeremy walked over and held his mother. "Don't worry, Mom. I just had something to talk to Angelina about and it's settled now. It's already late. Why don't you get some rest?" he said.
However, his mother was quick to shake off Jeremy's hand. "Get away from me! Don't touch me!
You say you just had something to talk about? But just now, I saw Angelina holding you in her arms. What was that all about? What did I just see? Besides, do you think I'm deaf?"
Belinda said crudely, her eyes wandering back and forth between Jeremy and Angelina.
"Mom, please listen to me. It's not what you think." Hearing his mother's words, Jeremy's heart was frozen.
It seemed that Belinda had heard a lot from their conversation.
Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Angelina approached Belinda and tried to explain, "Mom, please listen to me..."
"Go away! Don't call me Mom. I'm not your Mom," she said and pushed her hand away.
Her hand was brushed off abruptly by Belinda, embarrassing completely.
Angelina had never anticipated such a situation.
Belinda had always treated her well, and this was the first instance of her being upset at Angelina.
Then she turned towards her son. "Tell me, what's going on?"
Jeremy replied, "Mom, it's nothing serious. You should go back to your room and rest. Take Mom to bed, Dad."
"Don't touch me. I heard everything. Jeremy, tell me everything, right now!"
Jeremy didn't expect his mom to be so unyielding. He had planned to hide it from her for a while, but he didn't expect her to show up out of nowhere and overhear his conversation with Angelina.
"Say something!"
Martin shouted to his son suddenly.
Jeremy knew his mother very well. She had been firm on knowing everything she wanted to know.
And it seemed that Martin was also on Belinda's side.
Jeremy pursed his lips, and slowly explained, "Mom, on this matter. You should be mentally prepared for it.
Angelina is not Camelia. It's all my fault.
I found the wrong person, Mom. I'm the one to blame."
Belinda looked at Jeremy in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"
Although she had heard it, she was shocked to hear it from Jeremy.
"Angelina, is it true?" Belinda asked, looking at her.
Angelina wanted to deny it, but she looked at Jeremy who stood beside her.
Then, she nodded her head awkwardly.
"So, what were you both doing just now?" asked Belinda.
"Mom, no, I should be calling you Aunt now. Just as you can see, I like Jeremy. I've liked him for a long time. So, if it's possible, could you do us a favor?" Angelina said reluctantly.
"Mom!"
"Belinda!"
