Beca waited until she saw Arwen disappear. Once she was no longer in sight, she turned to her son. "What was that, Ryan? What exactly were you trying to do?" she asked, her glare sharp enough to let him know she wasn’t in favor of his idea at all. freewёbnoνel.com
Ryan frowned. "You are asking me this, Mom? You should tell me what were you trying to do?" Experience exclusive tales on freewebnovel
Beca didn’t understand. Holding the expression of confusion clear on her face, she frowned and asked, "What do you mean? What am I trying to do?"
"Mom, you tried to manipulate her," Ryan accused, his expression defining the expression of incredulity.
"Manipulate?" Beca didn’t know from where that was coming, but she was stunned to hear her son say something like that. "I manipulated her? Ryan, are you even listening to yourself?"
"Ryan, what are you saying?" Gareth scolded. "Since when did you start disrespecting your mother?"
Ryan didn’t want to, but he couldn’t hold himself back. Just now, he might have remained silent, but seeing Arwen smiling at her phone and then hearing his mother talking all that he never wanted her to was too much. It left him burning inside …
And the sting was still making it uncomfortable for him.
Glancing at his father, he turned back to look at his mother. "Mom, how can you make Arwen believe that what’s between her and that man is love? Do you think love is that easy to find?"
"Love is not difficult to find if you meet the right person, son," Beca answered without holding any doubt between her words. It was as if she was very sure of it. "And I didn’t make Arwen believe anything. I just worded out what was very clear in her eyes. She is wearing her feelings as an accessory —it’s not hard to notice if you truly want to see it."
She said, and Ryan’s fingers grip only grew on the glass he had been holding. And before he or anyone could realize, a sharp glass-crushing sound paused everything.
Beca’s expression froze as her eyes darted to look towards his hand in horror.
"God! Ryan, what are you doing?" she gasped, immediately rising to rush to hiss side. "Someone get the first aid kit —quick!"
But before she could even take a step closer to him, Ryan raised his hand to stop her. "Mom, don’t," he warned, halting her in her steps.
"Your hand is bleeding, Ryan. Let me see it," she said, and tried taking a step towards him, but Ryan stepped away, keeping the distance between them. Feeling stuck in a difficult situation, she turned to her husband. "Gareth, do something. He is bleeding."
Gareth’s brows were furrowed, but seeing Ryan’s injury, he wasn’t as panicked as Beca. "Ryan, don’t act childish. Your mother is getting scared. Can’t you see it?" he chided. "Sit down now, and let her treat your hand."
