Chapter 1043


    "Come on. I''m not as evil as you think." Agnes grabbed her bag and stood up. "But you two really


    shouldn''t be together, and you already know why."


    James gave her a cold look.


    Esther was overwhelmed. How did the situation change so suddenly? Just moments ago, she was


    getting along well with Agnes.


    "I believe I should be the one to decide about my rtionships, so you don''t need to worry about it."


    Both mother and son stood their ground, neither willing to back down.


    "No, you''ve misunderstood me," Agnes said, lifting her chin. "I don''t want you two together because


    you''re not good enough for her."


    Esther couldn''t help but gasp.


    "You were in a good rtionship with her, but you broke up just for a blind date. Esther is a nice girl,


    and she even saved your life. Is this how you treat someone who saved you?" Agnes clicked her


    tongue, her eyes full of disdain.


    She never expected her son, whom she had raised, to have such bad morals, causing an innocent


    and kind girl like Esther to suffer.


    Indeed, Esther looked so innocent and sincere. No wonder she was taken advantage of. Even now,


    she was still kept in the dark.


    Agnes walked up to Esther and took her hand, her eyes full of kindness. "Esther, I can tell you''re a


    nice girl from our conversation just now. You shouldn''t hold onto him since he''s treated you like this.


    I know a lot of people, and I can share their contacts with youter. You can talk to them and let me


    know if you meet anyone you like. I''ll help you out."


    Was her future mother-inw trying to set her up with someone else in front of her boyfriend?


    Esther couldn''t quite believe what was happening.


    But James caught on quickly, his face turning dark instantly. "What are you doing, mom?"


    "I''m not doing anything. Since you don''t want to cherish her, I''ll find someone who will." At this point,


    Agnes had whipped out her phone. "Save my number, and I''ll introduce you to someone."


    Esther didn''t know how to refuse her, so she reluctantly took out her phone and saved Agnes''s


    number.


    Seeing Esther saving Agnes''s number, James grabbed her hand, looking displeased. "Esther, are


    you nning to cheat on me?"


    Esther realized what was going on and shook her head. "No, it''s fine, ma''am. I don''t need it."


    Agnes briskly withdrew her hands, crossing them over her chest. "See that? If I don''t give you a


    push, you won''t even tell me the truth, will you? You two were obviously getting along just fine. Why


    lie to me?"


    Esther was afraid that James would be scolded, so she hurriedly exined, "That''s not the case,


    ma''am. He''s just worried about disappointing you and wants to let you gradually ept this matter."

    Agnes snorted coldly. "Disappointing me? When his dad chased me back then, it was a big deal. He


    was so persistent that he even gave up his family business. Why is our son such a coward that he


    couldn''t even protect the woman he likes?"


    How frustrating!


    Esther was embarrassed to say anything more and stood aside, staring at James with wide, round


    eyes as if saying she was helpless.


    "I have my ns," James said calmly, looking at her.


    Agnes instantly became unhappy. "What ns? You two just need to talk things out, and I''ll take


    care of the rest."


    Her son was unreliable. She was losing her future daughter-inw, so she had to step in.
