Chapter 26 I Have Someone I Like
Jackson went straight home, where Flora was busy arranging things.
“Mom, what are you doing?” he asked.
“I noticed that some things in your house are old and need to be replaced,” she replied.
Pointing at the wall hanging an art piece, she said, “It’s crooked. Move it a bit this way, yes, that’s it.”
Jackson looked around. It wasn’t just a minor change; the curtains, sofa, and coffee table were all replaced.
They transitioned from light colours to warm tones.
It wasn’t his style.
Jackson furrowed his brow slightly. “Mom, is someone coming to the house?”
His mom knew what he liked, but now she had changed the entire style of the house, which was obviously odd.
Flora’s eyes quickly darted around as she said, “No, why would someone come for visitation? Son, don’t you think the house is too gloomy? Look, you’re young, it’s not good to have a gloomy atmosphere.”
“Don’t learn from Uriah. I don’t want you to end up like him, still unmarried at such an old age.”

The most concerning topic for both families was the marriage of Uriah.
They were both getting older, engaged for such a long time, and it was time to get married. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
However, those two people didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all and never mentioned marriage.
She didn’t want Jackson to marry late like that.
Jackson helplessly placed his hand on Flora’s shoulder and gently pushed her to sit on the sofa. “Mom, I’m not Uriah.””
He knew what his mom was worried about. Over the past year, she had frequently asked him if he had a girlfriend.
She was concerned about his lifelong decision.
“Yes, you’re different, but look at how old you are now. You don’t even have a girlfriend. Son, when will you bring a girlfriend home and make your mom happy?” Flora looked at him expectantly.
Jackson had a headache. “Mom, I have someone I like. I’m pursuing her. Please don’t worry, okay?”
He hadn’t mentioned it before, but now if he didn’t say anything, he was genuinely worried about what his mom might do.
Flora’s eyes instantly lit up. “Really?”
“When have I ever lied to you?” said Jackson.
“Well, you haven’t.”

This child had always been someone who did what he said, always honest and never lied to her.
Flora felt slightly relieved and then asked eagerly, “What does the girl do? What’s her background? What about her personality? Is she beautiful? Is she a decent girl? Is she worthy of my excellent son?”
Hearing these questions, Jackson furrowed his brow slightly.
Alva didn’t have a prominent background, but other than that, she was perfect in every way.
Even though she had a child before, in his heart, Alva was the most excellent and flawless person.
“Mom, is the family background really important?”
Flora was taken aback.
Jackson looked at her seriously. “Mom, I’ll tell you the truth. She doesn’t come from a well-off family, but she’s outstanding. She’s kind, strong, optimistic, gentle, and beautiful. I’ve liked her for five years.”
Flora’s eyes widened. “F-five… five years…”
“So, Mom, can we not consider family background? I’ve pursued her for two years, and she hasn’t given me a chance.”
“I hope you can support me. I can assure you that if she becomes your daughter-in-law, she will be the best daughter- in-law.”
This was the first time Jackson had said these things to Flora. She could feel her son’s trust in her.
Someone I Like
He really needed her support.
Well, forget it. This child has always been sensible, has his own opinions, and is stubborn. If she opposes him, they will just have a strained mother-son relationship.
And his health…
Flora held his hand. “Okay, Mom doesn’t oppose it, but you must promise me that this girl will be a good girl.”
“I promise. If you meet her, you will be satisfied.”
“Great. Grandfather Zack’s birthday is coming up in a while. If you have the opportunity, bring that girl along. Your grandfather will be very happy.”
“Okay.”
