Chapter 41 Elvis
Rejoyla changed the time at the last minute, so the meeting place was set near Elvis's workplace. Jacquelyn hurriedly took Rejoyla there, which caused trouble for Jason. When he arrived there, he opened his phone and saw that Rejoyla's location had changed again and was still moving. He had to continue chasing after her.
When they arrived at the meeting place, Rejoyla looked at Jacquelyn sitting next to her and was speechless. "Mom, you don't plan to stay here all the time, do you?"
Jacquelyn took a sip of rose tea and glanced at Rejoyla. “There are still twenty minutes before the appointment time. If I don't watch you, what if you run away?"
Rejoyla really thought about running away, so she almost choked. She swallowed her green tea in a hurry, and her curly eyelashes trembled a few times. It was mainly because Rejoyla felt that she and Elvis were not compatible. Every time she had a date with him, something would go wrong. Yesterday, she was trapped in a sack, and today she was falsely accused of theft. To make matters worse, she was forced to wear makeup that made her feel uncomfortable. Rejoyla didn't intend to be with Elvis from her heart. However, Jacquelyn, as her mother, knew exactly what she was thinking Well, just forget it. Anyway, it was just this one time. After today, she and Elvis wouldn't see each other again. She was now in an unclear relationship with Jason. Jason was domineering and was a man of his word. If she continued to date Elvis while sleeping with Jason, Rejoyla would despise herself.
"Don't worry. I won't leave.”
"Even if you don't leave, I still have to watch you. You're so naive that you don't have a clue when it comes to men. They can easily deceive you with a few sweet words. I'll stay here and help you, or you won't even know if he deceives you!”
This was the real reason why Jacquelyn stayed. In her eyes, Rejoyla, a girl who had never been in love, knew nothing about men. Without any experience, she couldn't possibly judge a man’s character. Although she advised Rejoyla to marry into a wealthy family, she had to consider the man's character. It was better not to marry than to marry a jerk.
Rejoyla drank her tea nervously and didn't dare to say anything more. When she first started dating Jason, she didn't know about his wealth. She was naive and didn't know much about brands. She bought cheap clothes online and used inexpensive cosmetics. She didn't even know the brands of cars, so she couldn't tell the value of Jason's attire. Jacquelyn always had the idea of marrying her daughters into wealthy families, so she strictly forbade Rejoyla and Joana from having boyfriends. Since Jacquelyn controlled the family finances, Rejoyla kept it a secret from Jacquelyn to keep her little pocket money every month. Later, Jason couldn't stand Rejoyla’s frugality and gave her a supplementary card. Rejoyla didn’t want it, but Jason could bully her and make her cry in bed. Rejoyla surrendered to his power and was shocked by the money in the card. That was when she found out about Jason's wealth.
After knowing Jason's identity, Rejoyla became even more afraid to tell Jacquelyn because she knew Jacquelyn’s personality well. If Jacquelyn found out that she had a wealthy boyfriend, she might even try to arrange a marriage with Jason. Rejoyla didn't want to devalue herself in front of Jason, as she genuinely liked him and refused to measure their relationship with money. If Jacquelyn interfered, their relationship would no longer be that of a simple couple, but rather that of a seller and a buyer. Therefore, Rejoyla kept her relationship with Jason secret from Jacquelyn and let Joana help her. Even after they broke up, Jacquelyn never found out about the relationship between Rejoyla and Jason.
Jacquelyn still thought that her daughter had never been in love. However, in some ways, she was telling the truth. Rejoyla was indeed naive. She wouldn't be deceived by some sweet words because she and Jason spent most of the time having sex. Jason didn't say anything like "I love you, baby" to her. But she was indeed tricked by him
Thinking about it, Rejoyla realized that having a mother could be a good thing. At least Jacquelyn had good judgment when it came to men, and Rejoyla wouldn't have to worry about being deceived. Perhaps in the future, she should let Jacquelyn have a say in her choice of boyfriend
With this in mind, Rejoyla turned a blind eye to Jacquelyn's insistence on staying. “Alright then, but you have to be careful. I don't want to marry a scoundrel. Nowadays, there are all kinds of weirdos out there.”
"Stop talking. When he arrives, don't be so outspoken. The man introduced by Burton can't be bad, but I am never at ease and always want to meet him. Jay, don't blame me. I know you were wronged today, but I have been through it all. so I know how difficult a woman's life can be. If there's a shortcut, why make things difficult for yourself? Those women talk behind my back, calling me a seductive tease and saying that I married an old man for money. But they're just jealous because they can't have what I have. You won't want to live a life of worrying about money every day, trying to please everyone at work, and worrying about mortgage payments every month. You're young now, living in your father's old house without worrying about rent. Therefore, you can even quit your job if you're unhappy, and you don't have any financial stress. All you have to worry about is buying a few clothes and makeup. But when you get married, have children, and live with your husband's parents, you'll have to serve them three meals a day. If you neglect them even slightly, it's your fault. Will you still be so willful? Joy, can you handle that kind of life? You don't even cook three meals a day now, and you always order takeout. Your house is cleaned by a maid. Can you adapt to that kind of life? Now that you have the chance in the Sterling family, endure a little discomfort, and you'll have a worry-free life for the rest of your life. You know it's worth it!"
Rejoyla blinked, speechless at Jacquelyn's words. It was a matter of reality, but she said, "It isn't as serious as you made it out to be. right? So many people are already married. How many wealthy families are there in the world? In that case, the rest of the women don't even have to get married!"
"You're different from them. You were raised by me. I used to have such hard tides, but I never wanted you to do heisework. Did I raise you to let yout ke care of aman's ~ parents? You haven't even taken care-of me yet! Alright, I'm not- saying this to discuss sociglogical issues with you. I'm telling-you the reality of life. If Elvis is good, keep him by your side. You're not allowed to break up with him, or I'll stop your Supplemental card!"
Jacquelyn was simply using both soft and hard tactics. First, she reasoned with Rejoyla. Then, she threatened to stop funding Rejoyla. She didn't believe that Rejoyla would dare to comply in appearance but oppose in. het heart. Unfortunately, she didnt know what kind of boyfrien Rejoyla used to have’ Although it was Rejoyla who wanted to.bréak up, Jason gave hepa generous breakup fee. Refoyla never used the money because of the unspeakable secret in her heart, or she would have become a wealthy woman. So she didn't care about Jacquelyn's threat at all. Anyway, she was resilient and adaptable, able to adapt to the luxurious life with Jason and the poor life with a few hundred dollars a month. However, Jacquelyn's words made Rejoyla enlightened. She should really think carefully about the future and what kind of life she wants to live.
Jacquelyn was indeed the person who gave birth to Rejoyla. She immediately grasped Rejoyla's weakness. Rejoyla was not very particular about food and clothing. and even cheap food was delicious to her, but she had one weakness! She was especially lazy!
Thinking about the life of buying groceries, cooking three meals a day, cleaning, and taking care of the elderly and children, Rejoyla had a nervous breakdown. Maybe she should change a bit. Her current monthly salary of about $3000 meant that she couldn't live the life she wanted.
Jacquelyn thought she had made Rejoyla retreat, but she didn't know that the biggest difference between her and Rejoyla was that she always relied on others to live a good life. while Rejoyla’s first thought was always to rely on herself.
"Hello, are you Rejoyla?"
Rejoyla, who was contemplating the value of life, suddenly heard this and unconsciously: scratch her ear. She was not voisé-obsessed, but the ~ voice was 80 beautiful that she ~ cou dnithe p but want to see the. manatt turned out that there was sueh'a pleasant voice in the world. It was peaceful, gentle, and:calm, as beautiful as a serenade. When she heard the sound, it seemed that all her negative emotions had disappeared.
Rejoyla turned her head in surprise and couldn't help but want to see what kind of man with such a beautiful voice was, and then Rejoyla was amazed again.
Rejoyla's attention was attracted by his eyes. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but when she saw his eyes, she had a feeling that everything in the world was wonderful and clear.
D*mn it, she had encountered a demon! Rejoyla was so surprised that she missed the slightly narrowed black eyes when Elvis saw her.
"Yes, she's Joy. Are you Mr. LimBurton? I'm Jacquelyn, Joy's mother. She is on a blind date for the first time, so she's very nervous. I was afraid she might make a mistake, so I came with her. Mr. LimBurton, you won't mind, right? Why don't I just leave now to avoid making you two uncomfortable?"
Elvis smiled slightly and was stunned by Rejoyla's beauty in an instant. "It's okay. You can just sit here. It's a blind date, but in fact, we won't know much about each other the first time we meet. Just think of it as me inviting you and Miss Lynn to have a meal. If Miss Lynn doesn’t dislike me, we can be friends in the future and get to know each other first. Don't worry about anything else!”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Jacquelyn raised her eyebrows. She was not easy to fool. Elvis's words sounded very pleasant, but his implication afforded much food for thought.
