Snapping out of her shock, Sasha folded her arms over her chest and calmly watched the two girlsargue.

It looks like I was wrong earlier. It wasn't that Susan didn't care about my son, but she buried herfeelings for him deep inside her. However, she'll turn into a lioness on any issues related to lan.Memories of Devin's incident rose to her forefront. I remembered the scene when Sabrina went toYaleview alone. Why are all these women so tough?

"Say something!"

Crack!

The already furious Susan had rage pouring through her when Sigrun didn't respond. In her blindhaze of rage, she unconsciously tightened her grip on Sigrun's finger, eliciting the sound ofsomething breaking.

The sound triggered Sasha's temper.

"All right. Susan, calm down. Let me handle this.”

Sasha hurriedly came up to the two girls and extracted Sigrun's fingers from Susan's grip whenSusan was about to choke Sigrun.

She wouldn't have gotten this mad if she didn't care about my son's well-being, so she must'vevalued lan's life more than hers.

Sasha gently patted Susan's back in an effort to calm her down.

The gentleness in her gaze turned sharp as she directed it toward Sigrun. The soft expression on herface turned stony.

"Ms. Lightburn, I'll Inform your father about this once I return. I also want to talk to you aboutsomething else. Even though Old Mr. Jadeson and your grandfather were the ones who decided onyour engagement with lan, I've already told lan's father prior that we would respect lan's wishes. SoI asked lan about the engagement last night, and he disapproved of it because he doesn't havefeelings for you. With that, I'll have Old Mr. Jadeson visit your grandfather later to give him anexplanation to annul the engagement.”

Since Sasha was already confronting Sigrun about Ian's memory, she figured she might as well befrank about her decision to call off their engagement too.

Sigrun, who had finally calmed down, felt the world was crashing down on her. On the other hand,Susan snapped her head to Sasha with surprise and glee in her eyes.

So that was what they were talking about last night. The gloominess in her chest finally dispersed.She quickly ducked her head and looked down at her toes, hiding the fact that she was holdingback the tears swimming in her eyes.

Sasha pretended not to see Susan's tears and had Susan get in her car, leaving Sigrun there.Around ten minutes later, Susan had collected herself and finally noticed they weren't headingdowntown. Instead, they were on the road back to the apartment.

"Mrs. Hayes, this is...2"

"Yeah, I suddenly remembered lan hadn't had lunch yet, so I think we should return to theapartment. Are you okay with that?" Sasha asked intentionally.

She caught Susan immediately dropping her head to glance at her watch through the rearviewmirror. "He hasn't had lunch? Why didn't you say so earlier, Mrs. Hayes? We should hurry backthen.”

"Okay."

Sasha's lips lifted into a smile.

Every mother only wants their children to live a happy and healthy life with their significant others.When they got back to the apartment, Susan had Sasha go up to the unit first as she went to thecorner store to get some groceries. She raced back to the apartment once she was done with thechore.

lan heard the commotion and came out of his room.

He was puzzled when he saw Sasha, who just left not long ago, was back at his place again."Mommy, you-"

"Okay, I'm back. I bought fish so we could make the lemon butter fish dish that lan likes. I alsobought the tofu he likes. We can make stir fry with it.”

Susan rushed through the front door with a bag of groceries and started listing out what she wasplanning to cook, not noticing lan was right there in the living room.

Sasha merely stood there silently with a smile.

When Susan finally noticed lan was in the same room, she froze on the spot.

"Y-You're awake."

"I didn't sleep.”

lan could only manage that reply since Sasha was present too.

Sasha chipped in, "lan, I was the one who told Susan you had a headache. Susan got worried andwanted to rush back here to take care of you. She didn't even want to have lunch with meanymore."

With blushing cheeks, Susan looked at Sasha with disbelief. She never thought the matriarch of theJadesons household could lie so smoothly.

"M-Mrs. Hayes, I-*

"Okay, Susan. Let's go to the kitchen and prepare lunch. I should help you, but my back hurts. Howabout this? I'll sit on a stool beside you and direct you on what to do. lan, come over here and lendSusan a hand.”

Sasha ordered her son to help out.

Both lan and Susan didn't even have a chance to say no.

In the end, they went to the kitchen while Sasha sat on the side watching them with a bow! of fruitin her hand.

It was outrageous.q
