Chapter 811
“Alright, I’m sorry then,” Roselynn responded in a somewhat apologetic tone.
Living in this house, she always felt like she was on unfamiliar ground. After
making a symbolic apology, she continued, “I won’t have dinner tonight. I
have no appetite. Enjoy your meal!”
With that, she went to her room.
Lucy and the other servants held their breaths with lowered heads for a long
time as they looked at Jennifer’s dark and furious expression.
“This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! We’ve really brought a tyrant into
our home! I won’t eat anymore either!”
Slam! After forcefully slamming the table once again, Jennifer prepared to
leave, but Sebastian’s cold voice stopped her. “Stop right there! You keep
complaining about other people, but have you ever respected the etiquette
and rules of the Oatley family?!” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
As the head of the household, Sebastian’s authority at home was not to be
challenged by anyone.
Just now, he had given Roselynn due respect because they were currently
cooperating with Terence Group, considering the business interests. But
Jennifer’s value as a wife had long been exhausted in his eyes.
Though upset with Sebastian, Jennifer had long known that he was
unreliable. She also understood that her status in this household was inferior
to his. She had acted boldly just now because she was angry, but now that
Sebastian redirected his anger toward her, she could only snort coldly and sit
back down.
“Mom, Dad, let’s eat!” Jessica quickly tried to defuse the situation, her
behavior and demeanor completely different from usual.
The Oatleys were strict when it came to family traditions, and the elders held
absolute authority in the household. It was this dynamic that had shaped
Jessica and Jaxton’s personalities, especially in the case of Jaxton. Because
he couldn’t establish his position within the family, he often sought to feel
superior outside. However, lacking the actual capability to do so, he often
embarrassed himself. That had been quite evident on the day his true nature
won revealed at the amusement park..
In the past, he had thought that when he married a wife and brought her
home, he would establish his authority within the family. That was why he
had chosen Roselynn, who had looks and a figure but lacked a prominent
family background. Yet, little did he know that her background was
unexpectedly strong. Now, he realized that even straightening his spine
seemed difficult.
The atmosphere remained heavy and tense during dinner, and it ended
similarly, Jaxton never said a word throughout, and he returned to his room.
filled with resentment.
As for his wife?
She refused to share a room with him, no matter what. Jaxton felt utterly
powerless as a man. He believed he had hit rock bottom.
Knock, knock.
Suddenly, a knock came at his door, and Jaxton’s eyes lit up, believing his
wife had now finally returned to sleep in his room.
With that, he got up eagerly, only to be disappointed after answering the
door.
“Oh, Mom, it’s you.” Like mother, like son. Jennifer sneered upon seeing
Jaxton’s expression. “What, did you think I was Lowe?”
“Sigh…” Jaxton let out a deep sigh and sat dejectedly on a chair.
Though there was a hierarchical distinction between mother and son in
public, when they were alone, their bond as mother and son was evident.
After all, he was Jennifer’s only son.
“Honestly, Jaxton, as a grown man, are you really going to let that woman run
wild in our home? You need to assert yourself as a husband!”
“Assert myself? How do you expect me to do that? The agreements have all
been signed. Do you think I can mess with her? What’s there to assert?”
Jaxton was both frustrated and angry.
“You idiot! Do you really think the legal effect of those agreements outweighs
the country’s marriage laws?”
Jennifer’s words piqued Jaxton’s interest. “Mom, do you have a plan?”
