Jayden decided to visit her mother since she's already in the house hoping for her mother to comfort her and take her side since this is related to her lifelong happiness although her mother has always stay neutral in she and her father dispute anytime they have one. She walked upstairs into her mother's room seeking comfort, but she was bound to meet with disappointment as her mother denied any way in which she could use an escape method from the marriage and decided to have a discussion she called "heart-to-heart" talk of a mother and daughter, You do know you shouldn't provoke your Dad like this right ? Mrs. Cole stated.
Don't tell me you're also backing him up on this. Haven't you always been neutral and made your stance clear? Do you all really want to force me into a dead end? How can you people have the mind to force a mysterious relationship on me? Like, who does that to their family? Jayden questioned.
I really don't know what's going on in that pretty head of yours; no one is forcing any relationship on you, and moreover, it's not mysterious, but you won't know that unless you kill all those weird thoughts in your mind. We are doing all this for your own good, a 28-year-old spinster. What a big headache you really are. Mrs. Cole stated.
Mom! Shouted Jayden, I don't know how you and Dad arrive at this, but I hope you know that I won't back out. Not even an inch. This is the 21st century, not your time when an arranged marriage was considered the norm. I hope you know it is now being frowned upon, or else you want a loveless, lifeless marriage for me, and I won't agree to that—not now, not anytime soon. Jayden can't help but rant at her mom.
You really have the heart of a bull. Why are you as stubborn as your dad? Can't you just be like your siblings and stop creating headaches for me every time? It is this you that move out and insist on staying alone? This same you refuse to visit your parent, and now you are refusing to heed our advice. Is it until I am hospitalised that you'll agree to this, or do you want to force your father's hand in taking extreme measures? My child, it is really of no benefit to you to keep being stubborn like this. No one is forcing you to marry. Let's take it one step at a time; at least meet the young man first, and then we can talk on whether you like him or not. You can even take your time to know each other. It's not that it's mysterious, but his identity is too sensitive for you to investigate; otherwise, I'll have agreed to that too and even done that for you.
Do me a favour and meet the young man. I know you're a sensible child and would like to make your own decision, but it is this character of yours that we're afraid of. We don't want you to make any rash decisions; this is concerning your lifetime joy and happiness. That's why we took it upon ourselves to do this. Trust me, we only have your best interest at heart.
Mom, you know I also love you guys, but an arranged marriage is just too absurd in this 21st century. Moreover, it concerns my lifelong happiness, but I promise to get my assistant to check my schedule and notify you. By this time Jayden had already taken the initiative to hug her mother; after all, she had already succeeded in coercing her. Even if she has the heart of a bull, she's still helpless towards her own mother; she can only agree to their temporary arrangement and see how it goes since she doesn't want her father to take extreme measures or even use the family rules.
We've both made a temporary conclusion, so Mom, What's the plan?
