Chapter 2796: Chapter 2805: Her Future Mother-in-law Has Her Back
Sydney Sullivan still seemed upset; she glared at him fiercely before speaking slowly, "Does my agreement matter? Youāve married anyway, whether I agree or not. Isnāt that your intention?"
"Mom, I really like Olivia. No matter what, I will marry her! It doesnāt matter who opposes; I just want your blessing," Adam Sinclairās expression was earnest, his handsome features bearing a resemblance to Sydney Sullivan, making it evident to strangers that they were mother and son.
Sydney Sullivanās unpleasant expression finally softened, not as angry as before. She glanced at Olivia Lewis; despite struggling to accept Oliviaās background, she removed a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Oliviaās wrist, "This bracelet was given to me by Adamās grandfather, and now Iām giving it to you. You heard it yourself, my foolish son really likes you. Youāre married now, and I donāt have much to ask of you. Just one thing. Do not betray his affection!"
Sydney Sullivan squinted her eyes, carrying the cold gaze of a powerful businesswoman, "Iāve only got one son in my lifetime; heās the most important person to me. If you hurt him, I wonāt let it go! Do you understand?"
If Olivia Lewis didnāt understand Sydney Sullivan and Benjamin Sinclairās past, she would undoubtedly find Sydney Sullivanās attitude difficult to accept. But she knew how much Sydney Sullivan had sacrificed for Adam, and she could understand why Sydney spoke the way she did.
"I understand, Aunt."
Sydney Sullivan furrowed her brows, still awkward but said, "Next time, remember to call me Mom."
Adam Sinclair gave a slight smile; he knew his mom would accept Olivia. Otherwise, he wouldnāt have dared to bring her to dinner.
"Mom, thank you."
When Sydney Sullivan looked at him, she wasnāt as gentle as she was with Olivia, her face stern as she spoke, "Donāt rush to thank me; you havenāt answered the question I just asked. What are your plans for the future? How will you deal with your father?"
Adam Sinclairās tender expression faded, becoming somewhat indifferent, "I wonāt."
"...What do you mean?" Sydney Sullivan was startled, pressing him for an answer.
The Western food had just arrived, Adam Sinclair started by cutting Sydney Sullivanās steak, placing it in front of her with gentlemanly precision, and then kindly cutting Oliviaās, before finally attending to his own. As he cut, his eyelids half-lowered, he said, "I donāt need to explain myself to him."
Sydney Sullivan hesitated, "...Adam, there are some conflicts between him and me. But regardless, heās still your father; you have a blood connection."
"Iām not the only one with a blood connection to him," Adam Sinclair said slowly, lifting his head indifferently, "Heās never cared about me; he doesnāt even know my favorite foods or my allergies. Thereās no need for me to explain whom I like or whom I marry."
Sydney Sullivan listened to him, looking at him with a face full of pain, giving up on defending Benjamin Sinclair. She turned her complex gaze to Olivia Lewis, eyes gentler than before, asking softly, "I remember seeing in the news that you have a press conference starting tomorrow?"
"...Yes." Olivia was puzzled at the topic shift, but after a moment, she nodded obediently.
"Iāll be there tomorrow."
"..."
Wow, isnāt the future mother-in-law implying sheās going to support her at the event tomorrow?!!
