However, for years, he had not met a woman he liked. That was until Camila came along. Ever since he laid his eyes on her, he could not stop thinking about her.

He adored that woman.

At the same time, he wanted to take revenge on Isaac using Camila.

“Fine. I promise," Jaylen swore through gritted teeth.

“I hope you'll keep your promise, as it will benefit you in the Long run," Robin advised.

Without another word, Jaylen walked out of the house with his mother.

Although she could not understand what was happening, she knew better than to ask his son here in the house. She waited until she and Jaylen got into the car before asking him what she had been dying to know.

“Tell me the truth. What happened?" she asked while holding her son's hand.

Even though she was no longer being held captive, she remained uneasy.

“You were left with the company after your father died. I couldn't help you as I didn't know anything about the company, much Less manage it. I know life has not been easy for you. Regardless, you can't just force someone who doesn't love you to marry you. You won't be happy.”

She loved her son so much that she did not want to see him miserable over a woman.

Besides, she, too, was a woman. She knew the feeling of being forced into love.

For a woman, marrying someone she did not like was unfortunate and regrettable.

“I wish for my daughter-in-law to be kind and thoughtful. But above all, there must be genuine love between you both. A marriage founded on such love is likely to endure. The reason I did not accompany your father is because I was concerned about your well-being," Jaylen's mother said in a serious voice.

Jaylen was aware of that. That was exactly the reason why he had told his mother that the girl he Liked was in Heinz. He planned to marry her here and take her home after the wedding.

He feared his mother would find out he had forced the woman to marry him.

All of a sudden, Jaylen's mother hit her son on the arm and loudly asked, “Did you hear what I said?"

"I did," Jaylen grumbled.

“I won't force you to get married. But promise me you'll find a girl who loves you."

Jaylen's mother cared about her son with all her heart.

"I will," JayLlen promised.

“I understand that your father's passing has had a significant impact on you, and the shadow of his loss has been difficult to shake off. I've noticed that you've been engaging in various activities with women and behaving in ways that seem licentious. It's probably not your intention, and I'm sure you did those things out of loneliness. And until now, you haven't accepted your father's death. It's almost as if you're avoiding the truth on purpose. But you know what? I've been in a similar place myself. I'm sure this experience will make you a better person. I believe in you. Do you know that?”

Jaylen's mother squeezed her son's hand as she spoke.

“I know that, Mom. Anyway, I'll drive you home.”

Jaylen's mother nodded. "I've not been feeling well. Stay with me." She was perfectly fine. It was just that she wanted to keep Jaylen by her side and prevent him from doing anything dangerous
