Mrs. Conduibh never expected she would hear such ruthless words from her son.
Tassach sighed and said, “Mom, please leave me alone. I am really tired between you and Gracie. It’s
a miserable thing to be tangled by a woman I don’t like. You shouldn’t be so aggressive if you still
consider me as your son.”
Mrs. Conduibh was astonished and felt herself falling down from a cliff, saying in a sad tone, “I am
helping you, but you just regard me as being aggressive? Don’t you think your words really hurt?”
She loved Tassach whole-heartedly. He was her only son and all she did was to provide him with the
best. However, the efforts she made now became the weapon to threat him in his view.
Her tears couldn’t help running down. It cost her a lot to raise up her son, but he didn’t understand her
at all.
Her crying got more and more severe. At first, she tried to control herself, however, gradually, she cried
out loudly, “I really live a hard life. My own show won’t stand by my side and accuse me of being
aggrieve. Now I have become a harsh stepmother. It hurts so much.”
Tassach looked her acting helplessly.
No matter what happened, the woman standing in front of him was still his mother. He struggled to sit
up and said in a helpless manner, “Mom, please stop crying, okay? Do you want me to get off bed to
weep your tears?”
Tassach said this when trying to get up. It turned out that he pulled his wound before getting off bed.
Mrs. Conduibh came forward, made him back on bed and said anxiously, “What’s wrong, my son?
Where does it hurt? I will call doctor for you. You’re such a stubborn child. Do you have to put yourself
in such an awkward situation?”
Tassach lied on bed and forced a smile.
He was vigorous in work and could remain calm after mingling in the business world. However, he was
in a dilemma because of two women.
No wonder Ophelia would marry another man and Savannah would call him a jinx. He finally knew
what they meant. If he couldn’t deal with problems with his mother and Gracie, he was not qualified to
say that he loved Ophelia.
He didn’t deserve it.
Tassach grabbed his mother’s hand and said mildly, “Mom, don’t call the doctor. I want to be alone for
some time, okay?”
Seeing her son’s performance of weakness, Mrs. Conduibh couldn’t bear refuse him.
She tucked him and said, “I was too agitated just now. I apologize for what I have said. Have a good
rest. I won’t disturb you when I am here.”
Tassach insisted, “Mom, just leave me alone, please?”
Mrs. Conduibh didn’t have any other way and said, “Okay, I will go outside for a while. Take a break. If
you have any problems, call me. I will be outside your room.”
Tassach nodded.
After his mother getting out, Tassach grabbed his phone from the drawer and called Ophelia without
hesitation. However, nobody answered the phone.
Tassach made it into a text, saying, “Ophelia, I am so sorry. I haven’t expected that Gracie would lose
control to push you. I am really sorry. Could you please pick up my phone first?”
He sent the text and waited for almost ten minutes. However, he didn’t receive any reply.
Tassach sighed and felt helplessly.
On the other side, Ophelia also sighed when seeing his text.
Savannah gave her a glass of hot milk and asked, “Is it from Tassach?”
Ophelia nodded.
“What did he say?”
Ophelia handed the phone to her.
Savannah smiled after looking through it and said, “No wonder he is a jinx. How could he just text you
as apology after causing a great damage on you?”
Ophelia was in a dilemma and replied, “Savannah, don’t be biased against him. Many things are
actually not his fault. You’re treating him unfairly by blaming him.”
Savannah purled her lip and said, “People from the Conduibh finally are all weirdos. Gracie is an
abnormal woman who has a strong sense of possession. Tassach can only accept his unlucky fate and
shouldn’t blame me for cursing him.”
Ophelia took the phone back and deleted his text.
She took a sip of the warm milk and said, “I find he is pathetic when thinking of him. He can’t go against
his mother extremely, otherwise, he will be considered as unfilial.”
Savannah didn’t take her words seriously and answered, “A real man should have the ability to handle
different kinds of relationships. Only a ‘mama’s boy’ will be obedient towards every word his mom tells
him.”
him.
