The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 457 - 453

Chapter 457: Chapter 453

I held my silence, not wanting to respond to my mom’s statements.

"Eliana, you know, Jones is really good to you. Everyone around you can see it, and it’s clear as day. With the way things are now, as long as he’s willing to take you, that’s all that matters. Got it?" Mom’s tone turned stern, "You’re a single mom with two kids, how are you going to live in the future? Your father and I won’t always be here to help you."

She made it sound as if I should be grateful that Jones was willing to accept me – a divorced woman with kids.

I already had reservations about Jones. My mom’s words, uttered without knowing the whole story, fueled a fire within me.

"Mom, I will not end up with Jones!" My anger surged, and my voice got noticeably louder, oblivious to the fact that Jones and others might hear me.

"Why are you suddenly so agitated? Speak calmly!" Mom tried to stop me, "Jones is having dinner right here. Aren’t you afraid he’ll hear?"

"Why should I care if he hears?" I did not lower my voice while I told my mom, "I’ve rejected him long ago. I don’t harbor any romantic feelings for him. It’s you guys keep insisting how good he is, telling me to give him a chance. What’s the benefit of forcing this? It’ll only complicate things!"

If things kept going this way, I didn’t know what Jones would do. If he resorted to underhanded tactics, I would definitely be in deeper trouble.

My mom, already in a terrible mood, looked even more upset as I argued with her so heatedly.

Just as we were at a standoff, Jones appeared at the bathroom door. His gaze was calm, void of any discernible emotions, as he looked down at me.

I was in the middle of giving Serena a bath. I continued with my task, unbothered by his presence.

"Jones, don’t worry, it’s just a little disagreement between me and my daughter. Did you finish your dinner? Maybe you should go rest for a while." My mom forced a smile, trying to reassure Jones.

But Jones didn’t leave. His voice was still. "You go ahead and eat. I’ll have a talk with her." "Well..." Mom hesitated.

"Mom, don’t leave." I quickly finished bathing Serena, wrapped her in a towel, and said, "Let’s make things clear today. I don’t want to keep forcing myself."

Jones still cared about my mom even in such situation. "Ms. Brooks, please don’t be angry. You shouldn’t stress your heart talk things out with her Why don’t you go rest" "No, I stay here and Listen here," my

mom called my name in an unfamiliar, age tone.’’ Tell me where did Jones go wrong? Where did he go wrong? Why can’t you appreciate him"

I knew my mom was fond of Jones, but to this extent where she ended him without considering my feelings and thoughts.

"Mom, am I your daughter, or is he your son?" I couldn’t understand

"it’s because you’re my daughter, so don’t want you to miss out on such a good Chance, understand?" My mom softened her tone slightly, but she was still thinking about it. Everyone now believes that you and Jones are a couple and the Serena and Brandon’s father.

At the end of the day, I was selfish. I took advantage of him.

"1..." For a moment, I was speechless. If cut ties with Jones now was sure Damon would come find me the next day and even try to claim the kids

If Catherine found out that Serena and Brandon were Damon’s kids, she would definitely target us and make things even more complicated.

I was caught off guard, and my mom seized the opportunity to suggest "Why don’t you and Jones get a marriage license soon, Eliana, if you don’t out ties now, you’ll see. Do you want to wait till Damon finds out the truth and keeps pestering you?"

"Mom, it’s impossible!" The mere mention of marriage made me reject staty

"What if Damon checks your marital status?"

The older the ginger, the spicier it got. Every question from my mom hit my biggest concerns, leaving me unable to retort.

I was getting more and more agitated, feeling as if I was being threatened, and the one threatening me was my own mother.

A wave of pent-up anger swirled in my heart and drove me nearly insane.

Mom wanted to say something more, but Jones stopped her. "Mrs. Brooks, please don’t say any more. I’m willing to wait and give her time to think it through. Pressuring her won’t help; it’ll only stress her out. I don’t want that."

The more considerate he was, the more my mom felt I was being ungrateful. She sighed, "Fine, Eliana, think it through. I’ll go check on Brandon. He needs to have his bath too."

After my mom left, only Jones and I were left in the living room.

At that moment, I was engrossed in what my mom had said. My mind was chaotic, and my eyes felt somewhat hot. I felt as if I was being pushed onto a dead-end road, unable to move forward or retreat.

The moment my tears began to fall, Jones’s hand gently brushed them away. His brows were furrowed, and a deep sense of heartache and helplessness mirrored in his eyes. "Is it really that hard to be with me?" he asked.

I pulled away from his touch. "It’s hard, Jones. I truly regret acknowledging Serena and Brandon as your children. I feel like I’m stuck now and don’t know what to do!"

These words weren’t just spoken in frustration, they were the pent-up sentiments that I had held back for too long. They were too selfish, too hurtful to speak out loud, but in my emotional turmoil, I couldn’t care less.

My words had barely left my mouth when Jones’s demeanor noticeably shifted, his entire presence exuding a powerful intensity. I seemed to have provoked him, as his face was painted with an anger I had never seen before.

However, he didn’t lash out at me. He merely clenched his fists, staring at me with a restrained fury.
