"There's nothing to apologize for between a mother and son," Chloe said generously.
Jay explained bashfully, "Mom, can you return the jewelry that Angeline gave you yesterday?"
It was as if Chloe heard the sound of bubbles bursting. The soft, crisp sound brought out her internal anger.
It turned out her precious son was not here to apologize for Angeline but to support her instead.
"I gave it away," Chloe said coldly.
Jay was dumbfounded.
He would never have thought that his mother would give away the jewelry Angeline had gifted to her to someone else so quickly. Was this not her belittling Angeline's kind intentions?
"Mom, if you didn’t like Angeline’s gift, you should’ve returned it to her. After all, it's her precious jewelry. How could you so easily give it away to someone else?" Jay restrained his anger and tried his best to make himself behave with grace.
Chloe retorted, "Didn't she give away your gift to her a s well? Jay, you can tolerate her trampling on your gift, but you can’t tolerate Mom for trampling on hers? Your hypocrisy is making me upset."
Jay was slightly at a loss. "Mom, I've scolded Angeline for giving you the gift I gave her as well. I’ve placed something inside the jade, so it's not supposed to belong to anyone else."
When Chloe heard that Jay and Angeline had quarreled, she expected that there was now a rift in their relationship. Otherwise, Jay and Angeline would not have gone their separate routes today.
The anger in her heart disappeared inexplicably. "Oh? I gave it away to Judy. I’ll help you get it back in a couple of days."
Jay said very helplessly, "Thank you, Mom.”
Seeing that the mother and son were not having a pleasant conversation, Jordan tried acting as a peacemaker.
