Samantha smiled as she watched the photo develop in her hands.

"I told you, son. The right person would come along at the perfect moment, someone who would love and accept you for who you are, with all your hobbies and quirks," she whispered, looking through the doorway at Jayden and Deborah, who were already having fun building the flowers.

Her thoughts drifted back to that afternoon when she had talked to her son about this very issue.

It was a hot afternoon, and Samantha had just returned from a meeting when she heard a loud crash, which startled even the servants in the house.

"It's true, ma'am. The young master's girlfriend came over, but then she yelled horrible things at him and stormed out of the house," the servant confirmed.

"Well, that girl is an Idiot," Samantha declared, frowning

"Mom, language," Jayden said, laughing as he wiped away his tears.

"Oops... but you get my point. And Jayden, I know it sounds harsh, but it's a good thing you two broke up because I never liked that girl." "Mom..."
