"You're overthinking this. Do you really think that our son will let Moore live in his home if there is anything between them?" Sean answered.
"How can you be so sure? You know that Zed is a workaholic. He is home only for a limited amount of time. I'm afraid there is something cooking between these two."
Jade furrowed her brows having a misgiving about them spending this much time together.
Sean saw how worried Jade looked. "Why are you becoming anxious over this? Firstly, this is their private matter. Why don't you understand when Zed tells you to keep to yourself?! No wonder Zed wants to drive you away."
"You are to blame." In a flash, a thought struck Jade. She had an inkling of the root cause of the whole drama that had ensued with Zed earlier. She asked,"Did you say anything to Zed? Otherwise, why did he suddenly insist that we go home? Sean, what are you doing?"
Jade was peevish as she questioned her husband.
"What am I doing?" Sean didn't mind being straight with his wife. "Honey, young people nowadays have their own ways. Our times were different. If you want to be a good mother-in-law, I suggest you stay away from meddling in their affairs. Think about the 'grandson' issue. Be it a boy or girl, it's Zed's child. You should feel love for the grandchild without any bias.
Now look at the whole Moore-Jean dynamic. How can you speculate about their relationship just because they went out together? All of your guesswork just might end up hurting Zed and Jean. So I think it's better for us to leave from here as soon as possible, making sure things remain as peaceful as it was when we came here."
Sean tried hard to reason with Jade.
"Sean, why did I marry you back then?" indignantly Jade emitted these words. "How could you even help Zed to drive me away from here? You... Are you hell-bent on pissing me off?"
Jade had hardly listened to him all this while. Sean sighed and said,"Whether you understand this or not, it's all for our family. It's always hard for a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law to get along. I really hope you heed my advice and try to be a good one."
Sean went straight upstairs once he delivered his rebuke.
Sadness overcame Jade seeing Sean leaving her alone in a puff.
Deep down inside, she knew he was making sense. Sean was always for the family.
But she had just come home and saw her husband and son conspiring to drive her away.
She felt miserable.
She yearned to stay on for some days.
'Only Jean allowed me to stay because she understands a mother's heart.'
Jade's spirits lifted acknowledging that she had someone's support in the family.
In the car, Jean looked at Moore and asked,"Are you going to meet someone from the Bai family?"
Jean's question cut short his thought. Moore smiled and said,"Don't worry. I am going there just for my luggage."
"Really?" Jean asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, of course. You are coming along. You'll see." Moore still smiled.
Jean felt embarrassed about Moore seeing through her and said,"That's not true! I just don't want to stay at home alone."
"Alone? Who just declared that she wanted to stay in the company of her in-laws? Is this how you give them company?" Moore tried to make fun of Jean.
