Daisy Thompson was taken aback and had not yet grasped the meaning of Adam Jones's words before she heard him continue:
"Not only does my wife not want to see you, but I am even more reluctant to see you. What exactly do you think you are, to assume that just because you wish to see me, I am obliged to meet with you?"
"Adam, you... I... I am your... your mother. No matter what wrongs I've done, I am the one who carried you for ten months and gave birth to you with much difficulty. How can you..."
"Hah!"
Adam chuckled derisively, interrupting her, "Do you think, if you hadn't carried me for ten months and given birth to me, you would still be able to stand here and talk such nonsense in front of me?"
"I..."
"Also, I will cherish and spoil my wife as I please; that is my business. If she wants to do anything without my consent, I am willing to indulge her. It's certainly not up to you to come here and maliciously attempt to drive a wedge between us and accuse her."
