Chapter 1914 Tearful Pleas

His mind was a whirlwind of confusion. Following his instincts, he stammered an apology, “Mom, I realize my mistake. You raised me, and after all these years of being mother and son, you wouldn't want to see me suffer in my old age, would you?”
The thought of the dire consequences of not inheriting Eva's wealth filled him with dread. His eyes reddened with fear as he sank to his knees, moving closer to Eva. He looked at her with a pleading gaze and said, “Mom, you know me. I'm not a capable man. I have two young children, one in elementary school, the other in kindergarten. Their future will require a lot of financial support. Mom, you've watched them grow up. Can you really bear to see them struggle through hard times with me?”
The more he spoke, the more desolate he felt. His voice choked up as he moved forward, trying to grasp Eva's hands. “Mom, I realize my mistake. Mom, I promise to treat you well from now on. If Lyla ever dares to talk back to you again in the future, I will discipline her. I promise that from now on, I will respect and honor you. In our home, your word is law. I will cherish you deeply.”
