Chapter 225: Mother is in love with my Man?

"Come on, talk to me. What's going on with you?" Lady Jinxx asked, staring into her daughter's eyes. Her gaze held no trace of anger or happiness, only concern and the hope that her daughter would confide in her.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Lady Illo replied, turning her back, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, Illo. You're a woman, and it's perfectly okay to feel things," Lady Jinxx said gently, pulling her daughter back to face her. She didn't want to hurt her, nor could she stand by while her daughter endured the same torment she had been suffering from for the past three weeks.

"I am a terrible mother," Lady Illo said, beginning to tear up. Like a child, she buried her face in her mother's chest, dampening it with her tears.

"No, you are not. You are an amazing woman who cares deeply about her family and everyone around you. You don't owe anyone anything," Lady Jinxx comforted her.
