From a psychological perspective, when a person whose mind worked differently was unstableemotionally, he should be placed in a quiet and dim environment.

That would enable him to relax completely.

At that time, it wouldn't be difficult to get him to reveal some of the things he kept hidden in thedepths of his heart.

Sasha took lan into the movie theatre.

Even though she was the mother, he had long since grown up. The instant they stepped into thedark, lan swiftly grabbed her hand as though afraid that she would trip.

He then led her in slowly.

"Be careful, Mom. There are steps here,” he even reminded thoughtfully in the dark.

A smile blossomed on Sasha's face.

She nodded and followed behind him. Soon, the two of them found their seats and sat down withsome snacks In hand.

"It's been eons since I last watched a movie with you, lan. I still remember that the last time waswhen you came back from studying at the base. At that time, both Matt and Vivi were also with US,"Sasha reminisced nostalgically beside her son before the movie started.

Murmuring an acknowledgment, lan opened the carton of milk in his hand. After inserting a straw,he handed it to his mother beside him.

"Thank you, sweetie."

Sasha took it from him and sucked a huge mouthful in relish.

However, she was again melancholic after she finished drinking the milk.

"Say, lan, all of you are growing older now. Will there still be such an opportunity to watch a moviewith me in the future?"

"Of course!" lan answered resolutely without the slightest hesitance.

"Don’t worry, Mom. No matter how old we grow, we'll still be your children and will always keep youcompany.”

"But you'll all get married one day. Honestly speaking, lan, when I heard your great-grandfathersaying that he wanted to choose a wife for you, I was already a bit sorrowful. Oh, my precious son isgoing to get married. You're already grown up and will be leaving me in the future.”

Sasha deliberately feigned an expression of utter devastation.

lan was entirely dumbfounded.

Mom's acting seems a touch too exaggerated. Oh well, what can I do when she's my mother?"Don't worry. It's early yet. Great-grandpa has his wires crossed,” lan reassured patiently.

"Yeah, I think so too. Anyhow, lan, is there anyone you like? Or what kind of girl do you like? Verily,I'm a bit curious. Can you tell me about it?" Sasha queried hopefully.

As her words fell, she could see a flash of resistance and irritation marring her son's face in the dark.However, after calming himself down for ten or so seconds, lan gently replied in the face of hismother's question, "No."

"No?"

Sheer disappointment promptly flooded Sasha.

Oh God, this is bad! Don't tell me he's still suffering from a mood disorder? others begin developingcrushes at the tender age of sixteen, but he's already nineteen. How could he not even have anyonehe likes?

She turned and fixated her gaze on the screen. Due to her heavy heart, she didn't say anything forsome while.

lan turned and cast his gaze over.

Upon seeing that his mother's mood had abruptly taken a nosedive, and her expression appearedmuch dimmer, he pursed his thin lips in the dark.

"Well... That's not exactly true..."

"Huh?"

The instant his words fell, Sasha snapped her head over.

"What did you just say?"

"I mean, I answered wrongly to your question earlier. There's someone, but... she's unbiddable.” Hepondered for a long time before he thought of that term.

Unbiddable?

All at once, Sasha's eyes went wide.

Good Lord! What kind of term is that? He actually needs the other person to be biddable whenthey're dating? This is so domineering of him, exactly the same as his father!

All of a sudden, excitement inundated her.

"W-Why is she not biddable? Does she not like you?"

"No, that's not it," lan replied morosely.

When Sasha heard that, she grew all the more anxious. "What is it, then? Since the two of you likeeach other, why is she not biddable? Don't tell me you... you want-"

"Mom!"

The smart and brilliant lan raised his voice several decibels, just to cut off his mother's wildimagination.

What's she thinking? Did Daddy not teach her properly?

In the dark, his fair face flushed bright red to the extent that he almost resembled a ripe tomato.Sasha went silent.

Okay, fine, I got his meaning wrong. He's still a pure and innocent young lad.

Subsequently, she continued asking, "Then, tell me why exactly that is. Share it with me. Perhaps Ican help give you some ideas.”

"She's afraid of our family,” lan admitted.

"Huh?" Sasha gasped.

I really don't understand. Afraid of our family? Why? Is the Jadeson family a wild beast? What's thereto fear? Logically speaking, many would want to marry their daughters into a family like ours. Theyear lan and Matteo came of age, countless wealthy and influential families sent someone over tofeel us out. Yet, someone is now afraid?

Truly, she couldn't make sense of it.

However, the movie started then. In order to keep the silence, the two of them didn't talk further.Instead, they shifted their attention to the movie.q
