"How can you just say that, Mom? What else do you know about her? No, Nothing. You don't know anything about her other than her showing the care and love on Lily and do you know why she is showing that care and love on my daughter like this? No, you don't." Asher said as he sighed.
"You know nothing about her." Asher said.
"Then what do you know about her, Asher?" Becky asked making him snap his head at her.
"What?" Asher asked.
"What do you know about Ivy then?" Becky asked making him chuckle.
"I know that she is a gold digger who is ready to do anything for money." Asher answered.
"And how do you know that she is a gold digger? Did you see her doing something that she shouldn't for money and why would she do that, when she is a billionaire's daughter?" Becky asked.
"Because, she is not anymore a billionaire's daughter. Her family's company is going bankrupt and so, her father came to me with a proposal." Asher answered making her frown.
"What? What proposal are you talking about?" Becky asked with a confused face making him sigh.
Becky quickly walked towards him and stood in front of him with a stern face.
"What proposal, Asher?" Becky asked.
"I didn't tell you about the truth because I know you guys will be hurt... But... Her father proposed this proposal that he wanted me to marry her daughter for my daughter's custody. That means, he literally sold his daughter for me to save his company." Asher answered.
"She is just a whore, Mo..." Before Asher finish his sentence, Becky raised her hand and slapped him across his face making Asher's eyes wide.
"Mom..." Asher called but Becky looked at him angrily making him stop talking.
"How dare you? How dare you call a woman a whore." Becky said angrily.
"Mom..." Becky cut off Asher in mid sentence.
"Shut up. Just shut up." Becky said angrily.
"I didn't raise you like this, Asher. I gave you better manners and taught you how to respect a woman but you calling her what?" Becky asked.
"Mom... She will do anything for... Money." Asher answered.
"But that doesn't mean that you call her with names!" Becky Replied angrily making him lower his head.
"I am sorry." Asher said.
"You will never call her that again... Not her or not any other woman no matter what they do. It's none of your business. You should always respect a woman. Do you understand?" Becky asked and Asher nodded his head in yes.
"Yes." Asher answered.
"You might think wrongly about whatever her father had proposed but you are in need too right now for a woman who would make you get a custody of your daughter as well as care and love your daughter." Becky said and Asher nodded his head.
"You might take her as a gold digger. But only she and her family knows what she or her family is going through. Everyone in this world has their own problems to solve, Asher. But, you shouldn't ever take them wrongly with whatever they do with their lives. Because, after all, it's their wish. And about Ivy, why won't you think positively about her once?" Becky asked making Asher frown at her but no one came out from his mouth to ask her a question. He knows that, she is so angry right now and questioning her right now will make her more angry on him.
He has no idea what suddenly happened to his mother that she got so angry and slapped him.
She had never slapped him ever. The last she slapped him was few years back when he yelled at her because of Sophia and he regret yelling at her that time. But, he realise that he was wrong in calling a woman with names. No matter what, he doesn't have a right to call a woman with a name. She slapped him for Ivy which was really surprising him. What is so special about Ivy that his mother started liking so quickly which she couldn't do with Sophia even after spending years with her? And she had slapped him for her?
He sighed as she says him to think positively About her which as if he didn't know anything about her? Well... He agrees he doesn't know anything about her... But, he can just what a woman she is when she agreed to marry him to save her company.
Who would marry a person to save her company when she have a capacity to bring up her company by herself?
"What do you mean by positively, Mom?" Asher asked.
"Why do you think of her as a gold digger? Huh? Just because, She agreed to marry you doesn't mean she is a gold digger... Is it?" Becky asked making Asher sigh.
"She would have hunt a guy who would easily bring up her company if she is a gold digger? Why would she agree to marry you who already has a child and why would, she let anyone to call her a mom when she doesn't care about her? If she is a gold digger, she won't at all think for a moment to hurt your daughter but she didn't." Becky said.
"She might ended up like this? She might have felt helpless? She might have just felt that she could save a thousands of families who works in her company if she marries you?" Becky asked and Asher just kept staring at her.
He never thought about Ivy like this ever... He just thought that she is a gold digger but when his mother says that he never think about her made him realise that he was thinking wrongly about her nature?
Surely, it won't take a moment to hurt a child and said no to call her a mom but she didn't and started caring about her.
"So, think about it and change your view on her." Becky said and walked away from him leaving him behind.
He sighed as he saw his mom leaving his room. He walked inside his room and laid on his bed thinking about Ivy and whatever Becky just made him realise. He realised that he behaved wrongly with her and felt ashamed of whatever he had done with her today and thought to ask her for forgiveness.
A smile spreads on his face without his knowledge and soon, his eyes felt heavy and he soon, Drifted off to sleep.
