Chapter 26
Let Love Takes Away All This Pain
Chapter 26 I Have Someone I Like Jackson went straight home, where Flora was busy arranging things.
âMom, what are you doing?â he asked.
âI noticed that some things in your house are old and need to be replaced,â she replied.
Pointing at the wall hanging an art piece, she said, âItâs crooked. Move it a bit this way, yes, thatâs it.â
Jackson looked around. It wasnât just a minor change; the curtains, sofa, and coffee table were all replaced.
They transitioned from light colours to warm tones.
It wasnât his style.
Jackson furrowed his brow slightly. âMom, is someone coming to the house?â
His mom knew what he liked, but now she had changed the entire style of the house, which was obviously odd.
Floraâs eyes quickly darted around as she said, âNo, why would someone come for visitation? Son, donât you think the house is too gloomy? Look, youâre young, itâs not good to have a gloomy atmosphere.â
âDonât learn from Uriah. I donât want you to end up like him, still unmarried at such an old age.â
Chapter 26 Have Someone I Like 11 The most concerning topic for both families was the marriage of Uriah.
They were both getting older, engaged for such a long time, and it was time to get married.
However, those two people didnât seem to be in a hurry at all and never mentioned marriage.
She didnât want Jackson to marry late like that.
Jackson helplessly placed his hand on Floraâs shoulder and gently pushed her to sit on the sofa. âMom, Iâm not Uriah.ââ
He knew what his mom was worried about. Over the past year, she had frequently asked him if he had a girlfriend.
She was concerned about his lifelong decision.
âYes, youâre different, but look at how old you are now. You donât even have a girlfriend. Son, when will you bring a girlfriend home and make your mom happy?â Flora looked at him expectantly.
Jackson had a headache. âMom, I have someone I like. Iâm pursuing her. Please donât worry, okay?â
He hadnât mentioned it before, but now if he didnât say anything, he was genuinely worried about what his mom might do.
Floraâs eyes instantly lit up. âReally?â
âWhen have I ever lied to you?â said Jackson.
âWell, you havenât.â

281 ou tan This child had always been someone who did what he said, always honest and never lied to her.
Flora felt slightly relieved and then asked eagerly, âWhat does the girl do? Whatâs her background?
What about her personality? Is she beautiful? Is she a decent girl? Is she worthy of my excellent son?â
Hearing these questions, Jackson furrowed his brow slightly.
Alva didnât have a prominent background, but other than that, she was perfect in every way.
Even though she had a child before, in his heart, Alva was the most excellent and flawless person.
âMom, is the family background really important?â
Flora was taken aback.
Jackson looked at her seriously. âMom, Iâll tell you the truth. She doesnât come from a well-off family, but sheâs outstanding. Sheâs kind, strong, optimistic, gentle, and beautiful. Iâve liked her for five years.â
Floraâs eyes widened. âF-five⦠five yearsâ¦â
âSo, Mom, can we not consider family background? Iâve pursued her for two years, and she hasnât given me a chance.â
âI hope you can support me. I can assure you that if she becomes your daughter-in-law, she will be the best daughter- in-law.â
This was the first time Jackson had said these things to Flora. She could feel her sonâs trust in her.
Someone I Like He really needed her support.
Well, forget it. This child has always been sensible, has his own opinions, and is stubborn. If she opposes him, they will just have a strained mother-son relationship.
And his healthâ¦
Flora held his hand. âOkay, Mom doesnât oppose it, but you must promise me that this girl will be a good girl.â
âI promise. If you meet her, you will be satisfied.â
âGreat. Grandfather Zackâs birthday is coming up in a while. If you have the opportunity, bring that girl along. Your grandfather will be very happy.â
âOkay.â
