Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1466:

Jayden sat there, unmoving, his face devoid of emotion. Whatever embers of hurt or anger had once burned within him had now cooled into an icy silence.

After a long pause, he spoke, his voice calm, almost eerily so. “Do you love me?”

Jayden spoke with a calm, emotionless tone, as if he had already anticipated the conversation.

Tess, on the other hand, seemed determined to make her son understand, hoping to finally make him comply.

“I do love you,” she insisted. “Every parent loves their child. My love for you runs deeper than you could ever understand.”

“Do you remember my birthday?” Jayden asked, testing her.

Tess’s face showed a flicker of discomfort as she hesitated, her memory failing her. “It’s in November, right? The 4th?”

A sardonic smile appeared on Jayden’s face. “You can’t even recall my birthday. How is that love?”

Embarrassed, Tess continued, “It slipped my mind. It wasn’t intentional. As I get older, my memory isn’t as sharp.”

“Do you think being my mother excuses everything?” Jayden pressed.

Tess’s frustration grew. “What do you expect from me? I’ve declared my love for you! Isn’t that enough? So what if I forgot your birthday? Is it really that big of a deal?”

“I sometimes question the point of having parents at all,” Jayden remarked softly.

“Can’t you appreciate anything?” Tess exploded. “Without your father and me, you wouldn’t have the privileged life of an Owen heir! We’ve given you everything, yet you remain ungrateful. You’re simply heartless!”

At her wits’ end, Tess shouted, “Appoint your brother as vice chairman now! Immediately!”

Jayden leaned back, his tone cold. “So, we come to the heart of the matter. I suspected you would maintain this ‘caring mother’ facade until it made me sick.”

Tess laughed coldly. “I am your mother. You will follow my commands. If I said you must die, you would have to obey!”

“Why should I?” Jayden asked simply.

Tess cried out, “If you defy me, you are heartless! I will expose the real you to everyone, show them how ungrateful you are!”

“Proceed,” Jayden said calmly.

Tess was startled. “What?”

“Go ahead and try to expose me,” Jayden repeated firmly. “I will not bend to your will. Bryce’s tenure is over.”noveldrama

Overwhelmed by Jayden’s calm detachment, Tess lost her composure, exclaiming, “What are you doing? Bryce is your brother. How could you treat him like this?”

While Tess erupted in anger, Jayden remained composed, his expression unreadable. “Did he ever treat me like an older brother?”

With her pride shattered, Tess exploded in a fierce outburst, pointing at Jayden with a trembling hand and unleashing a flood of curses, even wishing death upon him.

The assistant, who had been alert outside, quickly opened the door, only to be met with Tess’s harsh words. He was shocked. How could a mother direct such bitter words at her own son? The notion was beyond belief.

In stark contrast to the assistant’s shock and helplessness, Jayden stayed utterly calm, as though he had anticipated this moment and remained unaffected.
