"After all these years of playing house with my son, now that he finally has a shot at a real future, you want to break up and even demand your money back?" she spat. "Let me make this clear: I pushed Grant into this blind date because you two are on different levels now. You're not going to share the same path anymore.
"Let's not kid ourselves; you only supported Grant financially because you were terrified he'd run off and you wouldn't find anyone better. You thought throwing money at him would keep him around!"
Her words dripped with condescension, making it painfully clear she believed I wasn't worthy of her son.
"Honestly, it's pathetic. You've been pouring money into him like he's some kind of investment, and now you want him to pay you back?"
Grant, for once, seemed to be fed up with his mother's barrage. "Mom, just stop! I genuinely don't want to lose Megan. Please don't push me into this!"
Keira shot him a look that could freeze fire.
She clearly wasn't thrilled about her son kneeling on the ground, sobbing like a child, especially when he dared to oppose her.
"Megan, give me a little time to think this over. I really love you and don't want to break up. Just one chance, okay?"
