I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 Easton’s Enigma

Sophia struggled to say the last two words; her son hardly ever listened to her, only selectively hearing her out on occasion. Of course, she didn’t need a mama’s boy,

Easton needed to have his own convictions, just being able to take her well–meant advice on significant matters to avoid impulsive actions that could lead to regret.

Seeing Easton’s lips part, ready to speak, Sophia anticipated his thoughts and cut in, “And don’t go trying to involve Emma either. Emma’s already complained to me that Ellis isn’t speaking to her, that they’ve lost contact.”

Could it be that the entire Hudson family was out of favor with Ella!

Easton’s heart sank. “Is Ellis really that heartless?”

I won’t judge whether it’s heartlessness, but Ellis used to be your closest companion. You should think carefully about what kind of person she is and find a suitable approach based on that,” Sophia advised.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to critique Ellis; it was more that no one could really judge her without having walked in her shoes. Without that empathy, it’s best not to judge or blindly believe one–sided stories.

People tend to beautify their actions and subconsciously avoid acknowledging their faults.

Emmas complaints did sound tragic, as if she had raised a thankless child.

Upon further reflection, based on Emma’s one–sided accounts, Sophia inferred that Ellis had a strong aversion to remarriage, and Emma’s disregard for Ellis’s wishes made their temporary disconnection reasonable,

“A targeted approach” Easton furrowed his brow, showing a trace of worry,

Ellis had always been vain, scheming, and increasingly bad–tempered. The slightest upset would set her off; he could list many of her faults.

Should I find a way to deal with her based on these faults? He had tried to win her over with expensive gifts, seeking just a glance of approval, but she had refused them all.

Was the money tactic ineffective? What else could I do if not money? Trying to please her in every way? I couldn’t.

He had lived 27 years, and even at his lowest moments, fighting for his inheritance within the Hudson family, he had never stooped to please anyone.

As Sophia watched her son’s troubled expression, she remained outwardly unaffected. She sipped her tea and nibbled on some pastries, contentedly waiting for him to speak again.

After about ten minutes, when Easton still hadn’t spoken, she couldn’t help but say, “Ellis might be more guarded internally. You’ve at least been close to her heart before; I don’t know if she’s completely shut you out yet, but use your head, and the chances of a successful remarriage might be high”

“She’s guarded internally? Why can’t I see that?” Easton didn’t think of Ellis as guarded. In his fixed view, she had always been unable to hide her feelings, her emotions always clearly written on her face.

*Being guarded doesn’t mean she’s emotionless. It means she finds it hard to let strangers become close. Understand?” Without the motherly filter, Sophia was close to calling her son blockheaded.

“It’s getting dark; I’ll leave after dinner! Easton still had things to ask his mother.

Maybe the road to reconciling with Ellis would teach him a lesson. She muttered softly, not harshly, leaving the harsher words unspoken, knowing they’d be wasted.

Easton was fortunate to have once been close to Ellis’s heart. If she has since closed off her heart to him, he’ll have to endure the hardship.

Her certainty stemmed from seeing Ellis’s resolute attitude during their divorce; she was a woman who never looked back. not even wanting anything to do with Easton’s family.

“You’ll slowly understand why I said you’re foolish,” Sophia left the statement hanging for her son to ponder.
