Chapter: 894

Jonathan recalled that Bethany's mother had wanted Jayson, not him, as her son-in-law.

Bethany shook her head. “Please stop asking."

She couldn't bear the thought of bringing the son of a murderer to her mother's memorial before the murderer was brought to justice.

It would be a profound disrespect to her deceased mother.

Bethany knew that her mother would be very upset.

"Alright, I understand that you don't want to discuss it," Jonathan said, recognizing her reluctance to answer. “I've made arrangements for you to visit and mourn. If you decide to go, I'll drive you there, but I won't go into the cemetery myself. Is that okay with you?"

“Jonathan, I haven't been to my mother's grave for such a long time. I want to have a long conversation with her. Please don't drive me there. I need to go alone!"

Bethany's insistence was unmistakable, leaving Jonathan with no choice but to respond with a resigned smile, “Alright, I'll respect your wishes."

Nikolas drove Aimee to Jayson's house. From a distance, he noticed Jayson standing downstairs, his face clearly showing frustration.

Seeing that Aimee was uneasy, Nikolas gently patted the back of her hand and assured her, “I'm here with you."

Aimee glanced at Nikolas and voiced her concern. “What if my cousin ends up hitting you?"

She was apprehensive and uncertain about how she would react if a confrontation occurred between Nikolas and Jayson.

"I'll take whatever comes," Nikolas replied with a grin. Aimee was unsure if he was genuinely relaxed or just putting on a brave face.

“After all, you're my girlfriend. My resilience is pretty high, so a few hits won't bother me much. But let's hope he doesn't hurt my face. I wouldn't want someone claiming I'm disfigured and no Longer attractive."

Aimee immediately understood who Nikolas was referring to with his comment about "someone."

She glared at him with yes full of frustration. "You're still in the mood to joke around?"

“Absolutely! We're going to meet eventually. I'm not one to shy away from things."

As he spoke, he pulled the car over to the side of the road, then theatrically patted his own face. “Aimee, just take a look at my face. It might not stay handsome for long!"

At that moment, Jayson approached.

Seeing him approach, Nikolas instinctively stepped in front of Aimee.

As Jayson got closer, he greeted him, “Hello, Jayson."

“We're not that close, Jayson grunted. “Aimee, let's go. You're coming with me."

Aimee took a moment to gather her thoughts before responding, “Jayson, I'm in a serious relationship with Nikolas."

"Are you aware of what Nikolas has done?" Jayson retorted. “When Maddie assaulted Bethany in the hospital, Nikolas chose to support Maddie. You were the one who told me about this. Have you already forgotten?"
