Chapter 315 Fear of Rejection
“There are plenty of influential things in this world,” Mia said coldly. “You also grew up without parents. They say that kids without parents are easily led astray, but you turned out fine, didn’t you?”
Hearing Mia’s icy tone, Ava couldn’t believe it for a moment and immediately said, “That’s because I had Grandma to love me, even though my biological parents passed away, and I still received a lot of warmth. I am not alone. But Alex is different. Although he has parents, his father abandoned his mother when he was young, and his mother...”
Ava realized she was impetuous, and if she continued speaking, her words would be offensive.
She didn’t want to argue with Mia. She came to reconcile with her, not to fight with her.
“What happened to his mother?” Mia asked, her tone became cold, her gaze fixed on her, “Go on.”
Seeing Ava’s continued silence, Mia said, “His mother doesn’t care about him either. Is that what you want to say?”
Ava explained, “I didn’t mean to blame you. I just wanted to say...”
“Okay,” Mia interrupted her, “I know what you’re about to say. I didn’t expect it last time, either. Later, I wanted to call him, but I didn’t know what to say.”
“How about the two of you have a meal together?” Ava suggested.
“Have a meal with him?” Mia’s gaze hesitated.
Ava saw her unfamiliar reaction and incredulously asked, “You mean, you’ve never had a meal with your son?”
Mia pulled at the corner of her mouth reluctantly, “We haven’t see each other often either. I don’t know how to interact with the Mitchells anymore.”
Ava asked, “He’s your son, not a stranger. You’re part of the Mitchells. Don’t you plan to have a good talk with Alex?”
Mia’s posture was not as natural as before, and she seemed slightly uncomfortable.
“He probably doesn’t want to see me now.”
“How do you know if you don’t try?” Ava said, “After so many years, I know some things are not easy, but you have to try. And I think Alex, he...”
Ava paused, thinking about how to organize her words to express her thoughts appropriately.
“What happened to him?” Mia asked, “Please don’t always speak in half sentences, leaving suspense.”
“Mom, I didn’t mean to leave you in suspense. I was wondering how to explain this to you. Actually, in Alex’s mind, he still cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dream about you at night. What a pity!”
Mia’s face looked impassively, but it was unclear what she was thinking.
She just lightly raised the corner of her mouth, “He also hasn’t actively contact me. I thought he didn’t have any feelings for me.”
Ava asked, “Did you think the same way, so you didn’t actively contact him?”
“...”
Mia’s silence already gave the answer.
Ava found it ridiculous: “You two have not contacted each other once because of misunderstandings. What a pity!”
Mia: “...”
“Mom, just listen to me, take the initiative to contact him. I believe he won’t reject you.”
“But what if he does reject me? I’ll be very embarrassed,” Mia felt uneasy.
