Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 984 Jewel Is the Daughter of That Woman

Alex looked at her. "I wanted to talk to you every time I came here, but you always pushed my buttons every single time. Why do you have to push me like this, Mom? She's the only woman I've ever loved—the only one! Don't worry, I'm already ashamed to go looking for her again. I wouldn't dare to marry her with someone vicious like you as her mother-in-law," he said in a cold voice before trying to break free of Stefanie's grasp. "Let go of me."

Furious, Stefanie tugged at his arm again with all her might. She questioned, "Me? Vicious?"

Not wanting to keep on arguing with her, Alex stretched out his hand to push hers away, only to notice that a corner of the 'scar' on her wrist had curled up. Getting suspicious, he reached out in an attempt to take a closer look…

Stefanie noticed that, too. Her heart pounding wildly, she instantly retracted her hand and hid it behind her back. "Fine, just get out of here if you want. I'm a vicious mother-in-law, anyway. Don't come back here anymore unless you have to!" she said resolutely while turning back.

Alex got even more suspicious, though. He hadn't had a good look at it just now, but now that he thought about this, he realized that something was fishy. How could the scar possibly curl up? Also, why had she never let him see her wound for such a long time? He strode up to her and grabbed her wounded wrist right away.
