"It’s not your place to criticize how my mom raised me! I’m warning you, we are just partners in this. If you say one more bad thing about my mom, don’t blame me for what happens." Jensen’s expression was grim. Rachel felt a fire surging in her chest. She spoke rashly, "In your heart, is your mom perfect? Have you ever thought that she might not be your real mother! Your biological mother is someone else! If your real mother saw you defending another person like this, how do you think she would feel?" "She can think whatever she wants!" Jensen snorted coldly. "You think I wouldn’t know if my mom is my real mom? You’re actually trying to drive a wedge between us! And even if she wasn't—so what? The debt of raising someone is greater than the debt of giving birth. "When I was learning to talk, when I was learning to walk, when I was sick with a fever, it was my mom who was by my side, taking care of me day and night. When Luke Corp was in turmoil, it was my mom who supported me. Even if she didn't give birth to me, her dedication and the way she raised me for over twenty years are real. Our bond as mother and son is real! As for this ‘real mom’ you’re talking about—a woman who could abandon her own child—what right does she have to show her face to me?" Rachel had never expected to hear such a speech from Jensen. She was heartbroken. "How do you know your real mom didn't have her reasons back then?" "I don’t need to know. I only know that if she wasn't capable of raising me herself, she shouldn't have brought me into this world. Since she did bring me into this world, then her abandoning me is a fact, isn’t it?" Jensen’s gaze shot toward Rachel like an icy arrow. For a moment, Rachel thought Jensen knew his origins. But the clarity in Jensen’s eyes made her unsure.No! He wouldn't! If Jensen really knew his origins, he wouldn't be like this. Rachel said, choking up, "Jensen, there isn't a mother in this world who doesn’t love her child. For her to abandon her own, she must have been in an impossible situation." "Maybe you have a point, but what does that have to do with me? I must be crazy, discussing this kind of thing with someone who kidnapped me." Jensen snorted coldly and continued, "It’s not long until eight PM. Shouldn’t we be heading to the airport?" Seeing him change the subject, Rachel had to put away her sorrow. Jensen was clearly very resistant to this topic. Should she tell him the relationship between them or not? Rachel was conflicted and hesitant, but thinking of tonight’s escape, she had to pull herself together. "Are you sure there are no problems on your end? Jensen, I’ve been relatively lenient with you. Don't think I’m powerless against you. Don’t provoke me, or we’ll die together. It’s no loss for me." Rachel’s words made Jensen feel repulsed. "Who wants to die with an old hag like you? You may be ugly, but you sure have beautiful dreams." Rachel almost choked on her anger at being called an "old hag" again. I can't curse! He’s my son! My own son! Rachel kept repeating this to herself like a mantra. Jensen saw that he had angered her this much and she still hadn't exploded. Recalling the topic she’d brought up, his heart skipped a beat. This old woman wasn't going to claim she was his real mom, was she?When Jensen was young, he had actually heard that he didn't look like his father. Because of this, many people spread rumors that Loretta had cheated. It was his father who came forward and said Jensen looked like his deceased grandmother, which quieted the speculation. But when people in the family wanted Jensen and Kevin to take a paternity test, Kevin refused to the death, and even used his status as the head of the Luke family to suppress the whole thing. Jensen was young at the time, only about ten, but he still remembered it. During that period, the other children in the family called him a bastard. It was his parents who stepped in, even hitting those children, before the rumors finally died down. Thinking about this now, and looking at Rachel’s face, he had to admit that while they didn't look much alike, Rachel’s profile and her general aura did bear a slight resemblance to him. Jensen’s hands clenched involuntarily. Rachel had brought up this topic of being "biological" more than once. Before, he could dismiss it as nonsense, but now, it seemed there was something more to it. Besides, his mother Loretta had been a strong woman her entire life, never letting anyone get the better of her. Even when Kevin died suddenly and the Luke family was in chaos, she had remained calm and held up the sky for him. But when facing Rachel, Loretta was obviously flustered.
