"No. I didn't do anything wrong. Your son ruined my son!" Sylvie exclaimed.

"Ruined your son?" Jaden scoffed. "You were the one who ruined your son. You wanted him to be someone he's not. You hurt him by hurting his family and you call yourself a mother?" he mocked.

"I am his mother and I have the right to-

"You have no fucking right to dictate what and what not to do to your son!" Jaden cut her.

Sylvie was taken aback and Jaden continued.

"Mew alone has the right to decide for his life. As a parent, you are only allowed to give advice but it is up to your son if he wants to listen to it or not. What you are doing is forcing your fucked up mind on him without caring about his feelings," Jaden stated firmly.

"It's for his sake," Sylvie replied.

"It's for your sake not his," Lester answered her.

Sylvie can't comprehend the truth and keeps on insisting on her mindset.

"You were dumped by your lover for a gay person. It was horrible but why are you making your son suffer because of your past? The past that was supposed to be left behind since you have a family now. Isn't it unfair to them?" this time it was Gawin who spoke.

"Shut up! You know nothing," Sylvie said.

"It may not have happened to me but it happened to someone I love and I saw the aftermath with my own eyes," Gawin said.

"Whatever you say, I will do everything to bring back my son," She said.

"You're so stone-hearted. I couldn't believe why I fell for you," Lester sighed.

"Suit yourself, Sylvie. But this I promise you. Lay a finger on my sons and grandsons, and you will regret you were born. I will forget that you were the one who gave birth to my son-in-law," Jaden warned before turning to leave.

"They are not even your flesh and blood," she said.

Jaden ignored her and continued walking away but Gawin stood in front of her.

"Heed his warning before you regret everything," he said and left.

Sarah looked at her in disdain while shaking her head then looked at Lester. She politely bid goodbye to him.

"Argh!" 

Sylvie let out her frustration upon arriving at her home.

"This all his fault! I should have ended him before!" she screamed.

"Will you shut it?! Are you hearing yourself? How can you say that?!" Lester yelled at her.

"You! How could you do that to me?" Sylvie exclaimed. "Why are you letting your son ruin his life?" she added.

Lester shook his head, "It's you who did wrong. You're the one ruining our son, our family. Your hatred towards gays is affecting our son! When will you wake up that our son's sexuality has nothing to do with your past?" Lester sighed.

"My God, Sylvie, please wake up before it's too late. Wake up before you do something that you will surely regret. You don't know what you're missing," Lester said before leaving his wife.

Meanwhile, at Win's home, his family is having their lunch. His youngest twin is looking all gloomy.

He nudged his husband and pointed to their son. Bright sighed shaking his head with a little smirk.

"Our boy had it bad," he said.
