I’m the Obsession of My Cold Hearted Ex
Chapter 349 Blind Spots in Love and Trust
Finished
Her late husband’s shadow hung over her son, making hard to question whether he was her biological child, even if she wanted to.
After pouring Easton a cup of tea, she gave it to him slowly. “Have some tea.”
Easton was not in the mood for tea. He placed the cup on the table as soon as he had it.
“Drink it while it’s hot,” instructed Sophia,
Easton feeling agitated and confused, took several sips her insistence.
Before Easton could set down his cup, his mother remarked, “Did that tea manage to connect to the water in your brain?”
Easton’s face instantly darkened. “Mom, what do you mean by that?”
Just checking if your brain is filled with water, his mother replied with exaggerated politeness, though her eyes were full of disdain. “Where did your brain cells go? Or is your head filled with mush?”
Easton was speechless.
After all, this was his own mother.
If she wanted to criticize him, he might as well let her.
Sophia poured herself a cup of tea, sipped it slowly, and then said, “Do you really think there’s any trust left between you and Ellis?”
Easton instinctively responded, only to realize his lips were slightly parted, and he couldn’t quite find the right words.
Trust?
He thought carefully for a moment. “It exists.”
Although his answer was affirmative rather than a denial, he wasn’t entirely confident.
“You hesitated just now,” Sophia pointed out calmly.
“I hesitated because…” Easton didn’t understand why his mother had suddenly shifted the conversation in this direction. “Our trust is probably pretty weak.”

He was quite used to Ellis scolding him by now. Still, there were certain remarks that rubbed him the wrong way, leaving him upset and stirring up some negative emotions.
Ellis.
As the third generation of the Hudson family, he’d been born at the top of the pyramid. Maybe not the very top at first, but the moment he secured his inheritance, he found himself right at the peak, like he was living on cloud nine.
If her son really wanted to win back Ellis and rebuild their relationship, he’d have to learn to see things from her perspective.
To fully understand why Ellis decided to divorce in the first place, what triggered her decision and to dig deeper into why she’s refusing to reconcile now.
“If you refuse to see things from her perspective, how will you ever understand what she’s feeling?” Sophia motioned for Easton to place his hand over his heart. For example, imagine you thought Ellis was cheating on you. What would your first reaction be?”
“I never once believed Ellis was cheating. Easton said coldly. “But someone did try to mislead me into thinking she was. My first reaction was that it couldn’t be true. I trusted her enough to know that.”
