Madalyn’s face fell immediately. “Are you saying that you have to be together with that woman?”

Jensen has silenced again.

Madalyn was furious. She stood up and pointed at him, “Fine, fine! You’re independent now. You don’t

even listen to me. I can’t influence you, but I won’t forgive you if I find you conspiring against Gilbert tog ether with that woman.” Madalyn left angrily after she finished.

Jensen stared at the door. He laughed at himself.

‘It’s true Gilbert is always the only grandson in her mind, and I’m nothing!‘
