Chapter 636: Chapter 636: The result you want is up to you to choose.

It was rare for him to lower his stance in front of Lady Octavia like this.

So, after listening to his final words, Lady Octavia was taken aback.

She looked at her son in surprise, seeing his lowered stance, feeling a mix of emotions in her heart.

The son she had given birth to, she knew him better than anyone else.

In past times, whatever he wanted or needed to do, he would just do it directly.

Rarely, would he care about other people’s opinions,

Including his own mother’s.

When he was young, because his age limited his independence, she could still use her domineering ways to influence him once or twice.

But later on, he gradually grew up.

Since the age of 13 when he earned a significant amount of money on his own, she could hardly sway him again.

Marriage was another thing he didn’t consult her about.

Whoever he wanted to marry, he went ahead and married.

He didn’t even inform them beforehand.

Apart from accepting it, she couldn’t really do anything about it.

Today’s him, fully capable of standing on his own in both spiritual and material aspects, was truly independent.

It was even harder for her to influence his decisions.

Yet now, this kind of person was negotiating with her and even seeking her help.

How could Lady Octavia not be surprised?

However, such a change did not make Lady Octavia happy.

On the contrary, it felt like her heart was pierced by something, and it was unbearable.

Because this change was not because of her, but for the sake of a woman named Joanna Lawrence.

Lady Octavia was silent for a long time.

It was the first time her son had pleaded in such a humble manner in front of her. She couldn’t bear to refuse him.

But to accept Joanna, that was something she could not do either.

"Mom." Ashton Heath waited for a while, looked at Lady Octavia’s troubled face, thought for a moment, and said solemnly, "Joanna is the woman I have chosen for my entire life. Whether or not you ultimately like her, I will not part with her."

"So, I hope that you can gradually come to like her. That way, it will be much easier for everyone to get along in the future."

"I don’t want the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict to happen in our family. I believe you know very well what consequences such incidents can lead to. If you insist on letting this happen, then in the future, I can only choose not to bring her home."

"When that time comes, don’t blame us for being disrespectful."

"What do you mean by that? How am I insisting on letting this happen?" These two sentences undoubtedly angered Lady Octavia, making her face even uglier.

Ashton felt a bit emotionally drained, rubbing his brow and said, "Joanna is willing to get along with you, her mother-in-law, but you refuse to accept her. How do you expect her to interact with you? If bringing her home every time only upsets her, why should I bother?"

"Are you threatening me?" Lady Octavia’s face turned livid as she tightened her grip on the cushion of the sofa.

Ashton looked at her and said calmly, "Mom, it’s you who is forcing me. The choice is actually in your hands, and the outcome you want is also up to you to decide."

At this point, he felt there was no need to continue the conversation.

He slowly stood up under Lady Octavia’s furious gaze.

"Mom, please think it over. In the future, I won’t come to talk to you about this matter again."

With that, he turned and walked toward the door.

Lady Octavia sat on the sofa, her face livid, watching him slowly walk out and the door close behind him.
