Alice's heart skipped a beat and she felt humiliated. She looked at Rosalie bitterly and said, "Aunty, I have always respected you as an elder. The relationship between me and Jensen is our business. Haven't you crossed the line by making Jensen's decisions for him?"
"Crossed the line?" Rosalie sneered. "You're the one who's crossing the line. You can't even get out of my bed with my son during the day. What kind of behavior is this?"
Alice felt helpless when she heard that but she still maintained her composure in front of Rosalie.
"Aunty, you keep talking about what happened between Jensen and I during the day. Isn't it weird? I'm in a relationship with Jensen, so we have the right to do whatever we want even if it's during the daytime. It's not like we're getting in anyone's way."
"After all, this is Jensen's residence. We were not on the streets, nor did we do anything outrageous in public."
"But Aunty, you came here without being invited. You didn't even knock on the door, but instead just kicked it. When you saw such an embarrassing situation, not only did you not try to avoid the topic, you even decided to keep bringing it up repeatedly."
"It's just sleeping, isn't it? I admit that I slept with him. We did it voluntarily; it's not like I forced your son to do it."
"I have been holding back and I didn't want to get angry, but Aunty, your words are too hurtful. I didn't say much since you were in bad health and were staying in the hospital, but it doesn't mean that I am really the kind of girl you keep saying I am."
"I didn't get in anyone's way."
"What you said about me being dubious, not serious and that I can't live without a man, I will not accept any of it. It doesn't matter if I break up with Jensen or not. You can rest assured that I won't pester your son."
After that, Alice picked up her bag and walked to the door.
She ignored them and only felt that her heart was about to explode. She had never been humiliated like this in her life; it was extremely shameful.
She was a girl who had a clear view of kindness and hatred. She would never give in to anyone in her life, but as long as she thought she was wrong, she would apologize.
If she was right, she would insist on it.
That day, she couldn't stand being talked about like that, but she also knew that she couldn't go too far. She admitted that it was the first time in her life to admit defeat like that.
If it had been anyone else, she would have slapped them in the face.
However, Rosalie was Jensen's mother, and Alice didn't have a choice.
Alice came out of Hart Villa District with her bag on her back, a sadness lingering in her heart. After getting a taxi, she returned to Emerald Apartment.
Rosalie watched Alice leave like and didn't know why she suddenly became extremely angry when she should've been happy.
"Look, what kind of person is she? How dare she turn around and leave after saying what she wanted to say. This kind of girl is uneducated."
Jovane silently looked at Rosalie. She sighed and said. "Rosalie, your temper is getting worse. You've been in the hospital these few days and Jensen lost his patience because of you."
"Now you get angry at the drop of a hat. Your body was already not in good condition, but
you even violated the will of the doctors and forcefully discharged yourself from the hospital. Then, you came to Jensen's place and even drove away Jensen's girlfriend."
"Tell me, how are you going to explain this to him?"
Rosalie's brow furrowed tightly. She looked at Jovane and said impatiently, "You don't have to persuade me. I know you're saying that I'm on menopause. Even if I'm not, I can't tolerate a woman not doing important business during the day and pulling a man into bed. Moreover, that man is still my son."
"Rosalie!" Jovane nodded. "I know you're old-fashioned and have the same thoughts as your brother, but times have changed. Can you stop being so strict?"
"I don't care about anything else," Rosalie said. "But when it comes to Jensen's partner, I must open my eyes wide. Otherwise, Jensen will really be doomed in this life."
Jovane sighed helplessly and said, "Oh, my sister, aren't you afraid that if you drive this girl away, Jensen will never look for another partner again?"
Rosalie immediately shook her head. "No, my son will definitely understand me."
"We'd better go. Otherwise, when Jensen sees that the girl has left, he will be angry,"
Jovane said.
Rosalie was stunned. She didn't insist and got up from the sofa.
