Chapter 1156 All Is Unknown
Stefanie petntly red at Alex. "You''re saying all this just because you want me to approve of you
and Jewel, are you not?"
Alex smiled and replied, "Of course. Your intelligence finally returned, Mom. See how you shouldn''t let
Winnie throw you off track? We should focus on living our own wonderful lives. They are all in the past
now. Jewel is an exceptionally sweet girl. It''s because you don''t like her that she asked to break up with
me several times. It was me who persistently pursued her. Now she''s Mrs. Nn''s foster daughter and
Eugene''s sister, yet you keep fixating on her blood rtion with Winnie. But they''ve never even met!
Mom, please, consider supporting us because I genuinely like her."
Stefanie felt an inexplicable lump in her throat and a surge of warmth welling up in her eyes. She
reached out and caressed his head, choked with emotion. "You''re already going to sever ties with me.
How can I not support you? You''re all I have."
Alex''s heart suddenly churned, and he embraced Stefanie. "Thank you, Mom."
"Go ahead. As long as you''re happy," Stefanie cooed while ruffling his hair.
The banquet was nearing its end when Eugene and Olivia emerged from the room.
They were supposed to help and celebrate Prune''s birthday, but they ended up doing nothing but
being overwhelmed by their family issues.
After bidding Aubrey and Hayden farewell, they left.
After bidding Aubrey and Hayden farewell, they left.
First, they sent Ellen back.
Before she got off the car, she gave Jewel a few reminders. "Jewel, Stefanie can be a bit harsh, but I
can tell that Alex genuinely cares for you. Whether you two stay together, I’ll always be here for you.
What matters is that you''re happy. Don''t sacrifice yourself!"
Jewel was instantly filled with tears, and she held Ellen tightly. "Thank you, Mom! I understand."
She called her ''Mom,'' not just ''Godmother.''
Ever since she could remember, no one had ever been this nice to her.
She had suffered misfortune, experienced memory loss, disfigurement, and various hardships, even in
her rtionships. But she was also grateful that she had people who treated her so well, so lovingly.
After parting ways with Ellen, Olivia held Jewel''s hand to express her happiness. "This time, Alex''s
mom shouldn''t oppose you guys anymore."
However, Jewel couldn''t feel any joy in her heart. "But should we be together just because she
agrees?" she murmured.

"Don''t you want to be with him? Do you really want to break up?" Olivia gazed skeptically at her, and
Jewel looked out the window, somewhat irritable. "I don''t know. I haven''t made up my mind yet."
"What are you worried about?" Olivia asked.
"Do you think a forced rtionship canst?" she mumbled after a long silence. "Even if I don''t mind
his mother''s unfriendly attitude toward me, and even if I don''t mind her using my mom of being a
homewrecker, you can tell that Alex''s mom tonight only reluctantlypromised because you guys
forced her to. She didn''t genuinely agree."
Before Olivia could respond, Eugene spoke up. "You two are only dating, not getting married. Why do
you have to think so much? If you get along well, stay together. If not, break up. Who knows what the
future holds? Just because Alex''s mother doesn''t agree now doesn''t mean she''ll nevere around.
You two should focus on the present. Right now, you love each other, so be happy together and don''t
let external factors affect your mood. Both you and Alex keep worrying about the future, but the
prerequisite is to be together, no?"
Jewel was taken aback, and it was as if she suddenly saw things clearly.
Yeah, it makes sense! She had been thinking about what would happen in the future, how she would
get along with her harsh mother-inw, and leaving Alex caught in the middle, torn between them.
But she had forgotten that they hadn''t even properly dated yet, and whether they could be together in
the future and how long their love wouldst were all unknowns, still up in the air.
