Jayden will always be Seeing that her sonâs face turned cold, Natalie could only follow along helplessly, âOkay, I wonât mention her. Anyway, once you receive your medical award, there are countless talented women in the academic community abroad waiting for you. I just hope you wonât rush into marriage. Finish your award first and then make a good decisionâ¦â
Jayden impatiently grunted, âItâs my own business, and I will make my own decisions. You guys shouldnât interfere. Also, Mom, when you were questioning Eva just now, it made her uncomfortable. I didnât say anything to respect you as my mother, but when Eva comes out later, say something nice to her, be polite.â
Natalie understood that her son still wanted to marry Eva.
Even if she was reluctant, she could only go along with her sonâs wishes for now. Later, she would find a way to force them to break up. âFine, since youâre my pride and joy, Iâll listen to you Eva just wanted to find an excuse to take a breather. She spent some time washing her hands in the sink and then came out. The restaurant was quite large, and the server led her around a few corners before returning to the reserved table Jayden had booked.
After Eva came back, she thought Natalie would continue questioning her, but she didnât expect Natalie to ask nothing. Instead, she grabbed her hand and said with concern, âGood girl, youâve suffered in the first half of your life. In the second half, you wonât have to struggle for a living by following Jayden. You will be happy for the rest of your life.â
Eva felt a bit uncomfortable and wanted to withdraw her hand, but when she saw Natalieâs caring expression, she held back. âAuntie, even if I marry Jayden, I wonât neglect my career.â
She made it clear that she didnât want to be a housewife, and Natalie not only didnât oppose it, but also supported her. âWith your large entertainment venue and high annual income, that is all yours. I just want to tell you that Jayden will always be your support!â
Eva felt awkward and smiled, âYou change your mind pretty quickly.â
Natalieâs face stiffened for a moment, then she smiled brightly, âWhat do you mean by that?â
Eva spoke directly, âJust now, you asked so many questions. I thought you were not satisfied with my background and career. I didnât expect that in the time it took to wash my hands, you agreed. Did you say something to your mom?â
The last sentence was directed at Jayden, who nodded with a smile, âShe asked you so many questions, some of which were a bit excessive. I said a few words to her, sorry about that. During the questioning, I didnât interrupt because I was afraid of giving those two intellectuals another reason to criticize me for being impolite and disrespectful to elders. Thatâs why I said a few words afterwards.â
