Stefanie stared widely at him as tears rolled down her cheeks. “How could you cut ties with your mom for an easy woman like her? Have you forgotten how much I struggled to bring you up? Do you have any conscience at all, Alex Road?”
Indeed, Alex felt bad for going against his mother. However, he had lost eight years with Jean, and the last thing he wanted was for them to be separated again due to some misunderstanding. He refused to go through another eight years of missing her.
“Mom! If we’re gonna be frank here, Dad is the cause of all your sufferings today, not me! I know how difficult it was for you to raise me. That’s why I’ve always cared for your feelings. I worked hard and poured in all my efforts to expand the company, just so that others will not talk about us behind our backs.
If you don’t like me doing something, I won’t do it even if I want to. Mom, I am sacrificing for you too! We share the same miserable fate, and we have to rely on each other. Why do you have to give me trouble? Eight years ago, I gave in to your wish.. This time, I will not do that anymore.” With that, he proceeded to leave.
“Alex! Alex Road! You can’t be with her!” She reached out to grab him, but her fingertips brushed against his shirt. He left without looking back, leaving her mumbling to herself, “No, you can’t do this! I won’t allow you to be with her!”
The next day, Jewel was about to take out the trash when she was shaken to see a man tumble in after she opened the door. When she recognized the uninvited visitor, she gasped in astonishment. “Why are you here?”
The crash immediately woke Alex up greatly.. He had left home last night and traveled to her place. Since it was way past midnight, he decided to wait at her door for fear of waking her up. “Jewel!” He clambered up with joy. “Why are you awake so early?”
