As time passed, Mark and Jay's relationship continued to face opposition from Jay's aunt.

However, Mark attempted to ignore her, but the stress and pressure were becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

One day, Jay's aunt arrived at Mark's workplace, creating a disturbance and insisting on speaking with him. Mark was mortified, and he didn't know how to handle the situation. He tried to calm her down, but she was beyond reason.

Jay was furious when he found out what his aunt had done. He confronted her, telling her that she had no right to interfere in his personal life. But his aunt was unmoved, and she continued to insist that Mark was not good enough for her nephew.

Jay said, "Let's eat outside; I need to take you somewhere." Mark asked, "Where?" Jay replied, "Home." Mark asked, "Home, which home?" Jay said, "I want you to meet my family today; I've already talked to them."

Mark was hesitant, saying, "How could you? I'm not ready to meet your family now; let's take it slow." Jay reassured him, "No problem, Mark; I had to do that. This is all I wanted to do – show my boyfriend to my family for the first time. Don't worry, they'll understand us."

Mark asked, "Are you sure?" Jay replied confidently, "Of course, Mark." They started to prepare, getting dressed. They dressed perfectly as they stepped out. Jay opened the car door for Mark, buckling his seatbelt. As they arrived, Mark was thinking a lot, but with Jay by his side, he felt safer.

Jay's mom was relieved. She didn't know how to react, but she could sense the change in her son, and he seemed happy. She replied to Mark, saying, "Okay, then." She left, and Mark was confused about her response.
