Chapter 212 - She has brainwashed you very well (2/2)

”Son, that's not love. Once you get divorced and separate from her you'll understand that it's not love. You're staying together for the last six months. So, it's only natural for you to feel that way. We even develop feelings for dogs after keeping them around us. That doesn't mean we can't live without them.” His mother recovered from her shock. She patted Ayesha's hand and chose to protect the girl from Eshan's wrath.

Eshan's anger-filled eyes turned to his mother before he shook his head. ”I don't want to talk to you. I don't recognize you anymore.”

”Don't talk nonsense. What's the meaning of this? I'm doing this for your own good. Just end it. I'll find a good girl for you with whom you can spend the rest of your life happily,” his mother said as if she was talking about weather.

She had a nerve of saying it on my face. For her, I did not exist as she planned for her son's future wife before his present wife.

”Is that so? You've come prepared, I see. Since when did you start planning this? How did I not notice it? Judging from the looks of it, I find you more calculative and ruthless,” Eshan replied coldly.

His mother snorted. She then glared at him. ”Am I being calculative? Okay then. You don't understand the language of love. I'll show you what ruthlessness is. If you don't leave this woman, I'll disown you. I dare not recognize son like you anymore if you chose to stand by this vixen's side,” she said with finality as she crossed her hands across her chest.

Both mother and son had a similar stubborn personality. I could see from where Eshan had learned his decisiveness. But, how could there be such a huge difference in their manners?

Eshan chuckled humorlessly. ”Huh? You'll disown me? I don't recognize you as my mother. From this day onwards, we have nothing to do with you. Leave us alone.”

”Y-you… Good, good. She has brainwashed you very well. That's why you didn't recall that you have a family. After marriage, I now see how she kept control over you. Do you really want to be her puppet?”

He turned his back on them as he pointed a finger at the door. He refused to waste any more words on them.

I met his mother's eyes. She looked at Eshan's back with utter disbelief. For a while, she just stayed like that. Slowly, she turned her head in my direction. I could see, she was going to lash out on me for she had no other way of taking out her anger.

”See what you did to us. Aren't you happy? Drop this act. You've snatched my son from me. Rejoice, be happy. Why shed the crocodile tears?” She harshly spoke.

I shivered under her angry gaze. It reminded me of my father's wrath. I desperately wanted them to leave.

”Don't drag her in between. This has nothing to do with her. I'm truly disappointed in you. Leave. Out of respect for giving birth to me, I'm not saying anything to you. But, my tolerance has a limit. Don't test it,” Eshan firmly declared.

Just as the situation had escalated to the tense atmosphere, a voice intervened from the outside. Moving my gaze in the direction of the door, I found my breath hitching in my throat.

”Is this the way to talk to your mother?”
