“Yes, she’s smart and grateful” Easton turned his head away, his voice laced with sarcasm, “Unlike me, who can’t recognize what’s good”

“Let’s leave the past in the past! There’s no point talking about it now. Ellis has already finalized the divorce with you, and oner Carly is back from her vacation, we need to help her think about remarriage.

Wanting to avoid further aggravation, Sophia no longer wished to discuss Ellis.

It was Easton who had dated Ellis first, and she had approved of Ellis as a daughter–in–law, which was why she had supported ber. Over more than three years, no matter what was said, her son blamed her for forcing him to marry Ellis. Where could

Both were visibly agitated now, and avoiding eye contact might help calm things down.

Seeing the anger mixed into Easton’s profile, Sophia didn’t want this to cause a rift between them.

Easton pursed his lips and looked away.

“Should we go back to compensating Ellis?” Sophia asked, picking up her phone. “I won’t feel right if I don’t give her something

“Do whatever you want. Easton didn’t object to his mother compensating Ellis, wondering if Ellis would refuse again this

Hearing Ellis address his mother formally instead of the familiar mom‘ highlighted the distance in her tone. Easton, catching this shifi from her usual affectionate manner, felt a sudden pang.

“Of course, but right now…” She glanced around at her busy colleagues and the host approaching her. I’m dealing with urgent work, Madam Sophia. I’ll call you back once I’m free.
