Chapter 6

It's been weeks since Jacquelin, Jared's mom, got discharged from the hospital. She's currently on a wheel chair because she's having a hard time breathing if she walks, and their family doctor adviced her to use wheel chair for the meantime.

Jared left work early to have a dinner date with her mother before she fly to Paris. He left some of his paperworks to his secretary. It's just five in the afternoon when he decided to leave his work, too early for his usual out which is around seven or eight in the evening.

While on his way to home, he received a call from his mom.

"Mom?" he said as he answer the phone call.

"Where are you, son?" his mother asked him with a sweet voice.

"I'm on my way home, mom. Why?" he responded. Jared has his own house but he stays at their mansion for now to take care of her mother.

"You left work early?" his mom asked.

"Yep." he responded.

"Why?" Jacquelin asked out of curiosity.

"To take care of you, of course." said proudly.

"Aww my son is so sweet." his mother said. "Do you have some business to do? Don't forget our dinner date."

"None, mom. I have nothing more to do for today. Why? Do you need anything?" he asked.

"Nothing, son. Just pick me up here. We'll go for a shopping."

"Shopping? But mom, you're still not fully healed yet." he said. He's worried about his mother's condition.

"And so? What's the problem with that? I'm safe when i'm with my son." Jacquelin said, making Jared smile.

"Ok fine, mom. I'll be there in ten minutes, be sure to get ready. You know I hate waiting. I never liked waiting." Jared said. Jacquelin just luaghed at him because he know his son too well. He is impatient as fuck, and waiting is one of the things that he hated the most.

"Alright, son. See ya!" his mom said and then hung up.

'My mom is the sweetest, and the cutest.' he said to himself in his thoughts.

He just smile everytime she remembers how hard heade his mom is, but at the same time a cutie. His mom acts like a teenager everytime she's with him. Jacquelin is already on her 50's, but she looks so much younger than her age, and she also acts like so much younger than her age.

After ten minutes of drive, Jared finally reached his home. Her mother is already waiting outside of the mansion with her maid, guiding her wheel chair. Jared beeped twice while approaching the mansion to get his mother's attention. He jumped off his car to guide Jacquelin to sit inside the car.

"It's ok. I'm fine. I can manage. Let's just meet at the airport later." Jacquelin signaled her maid that she can handle herself just fine and she can go back inside the mansion. This is just for the two of them, Jacquelin and Jared. They didn't included anyone to go with along with her because Jared is already there to take care of her. But later she need her personal maid to go with her to Paris because Jared cannot come with her.

Jared rudely pulled the maids hands off his mother and guided her with his self. Jacquelin and the maid didn't just talk because they are fully aware of Jared's attitude towards other people. He's really mean and rude to other people, well, except to his mom.

"Where to, madame?" Jared asked his mother as if he is her driver.

"To Intu Centre, please." Jacquelin responded, riding her son's trip.

After minutes of drive, they already arrive at the Intu Centre, the largest mall in United Kingdom. As they enter the mall, they went directly to JaCreed, which is located at the top floor of the mall. Jared pushed his mother's wheel chair until they reacher JaCreed.

Jacquelin bought a lot of things such as clothes, jewelries, and shoes. They didn't took so long inside the shop. They went to multiple luxury brands shop where they bought anything they wanted. Some people stare at them because of their status in life and also their social status. They both own a well-known company, that's why. But, people didn't really pay their attention to them because people know that both of them doesn't want to be the center of attention, they want a normal life like other people.

After hours of shopping, they finally got the chance to eat. Jared was the one who picked the restaurant where they will eat, and he intentionally picked his mother's favorite restaurant to make her happy.

"So, how's life, son?" Jacquelin asked while they're waiting for their meal.

"Same as always, nothing new." he answered then sighed.

"Did you get a girlfriend?" his mother asked again.

Jared deeply sighed because answering, "Let's not talk about that, mom."

"Are you gay?" Jacquelin asked annoyingly.

"What? No! Of course not." Jared defended.

"Oh, come on, son. Just tell me already, being gay is not bad, that's totally fine with me." his mom said and smiled.

Jared doesn't know if his mother is being sweet or she's just annoying him. "No, no, mom. I'm not gay, ok?" he said and he deeply sighed again.

"Then why don't you have any girlfriend? It's been a decade since you last dated someone. Are you planning to grow old alone?"

"Mom, I have no time for that. I'm busy with my work."

"Then when do you plan on having one? When do you plan to get marry?" his mother asked continuously like a cop.

"Marry? Mom! I still have no girlfriend, let's not talk about marriage. Please?" he begged.

"Jared, there are lots of girls around you. There are lots of women who likes you."

"And? I don't like them."

"You're not getting any younger, Son. You must marry soon."

"Mom,"

Jacquelin became serious and said, "No, Jared. You'll marry as soon as possible. You're not getting any younger, and so am I. I want to meet my grandchildren before I die." 

"But mom!"

"Jared! Don't raise you're voice at me." his mom warned him. "You will never get the Creed California International Airport in your name until you get married and until you produce an heir." his mom said.

Jared just sighed.

Days had passed after he and his mother talked about his marriage. He badly want the Creed California International Airport in his name. He worked hard for it, and he will not allow anyone to take it from him.

And that day, he started searching for someone who he can marry as soon as possible. He had the list of women in the country who he can marry. He's planning on marrying someone to get the company in his name, but he'll file a divorce afterwards.
