My Bossy CEO Husband

 Jeffrey snapped after hearing this.He got to his feet without a word, his expression grim, and was about to storm out of the house.

Having known that he would react this way, Nellie rushed to stop him.

"Bruce, if you dare walk out of that door right now—"

"What, are you going to disown me?" Jeffrey cut her off.

"Please, Mom! Will you stop using this threat on me every single time?" Nellie fell silent.

Since the same threat always worked, she could use it again and again.

"Bruce, won't you try and understand? You know how the company is doing at present.You're our son! Why won't you help us? I know you're angry.I admit that your father and I neglected you for so many years, but we didn't have a choice.You insisted on staying in the entertainment business despite our disapproval.Do you even know how those people talk about us behind our backs?"

Jeffrey's lips curled into a sneer.All it took was some strangers’ unsolicited remarks for them to ignore their son for years.

Simply put, they were mortified of his career choices, and they had held on to their prejudices for so long.

Jeffrey had gone through so many hardships just to get to where he was now.And yet his parents never cared about his struggles.

They hadn't even bothered to ask how he was doing.Not even once.He would be lying if he said that he had no grievances of his own.

"Bruce, your dad and I have worked hard to raise you well.Now that we need your help, won't you return the favor?"

"Sure, I will!"

Nellie's face instantly brightened at his response.She opened her mouth to say something, but Jeffrey was not done talking yet.

"I will give you my money."

‘Money? It has nothing to do with money at all.Besides, his money is like a drop in the ocean to the company" she thought.

"Bruce!"

"That's all I can do for you.Were you expecting me to sell myself? I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that's impossible!" Nellie was trembling with barely contained rage.

Where are you talking about? When did I ask you to do such a thing? You're already twenty-four years old.

Of course, you're expected to think about marriage! ['m just doing my part as a parent and ask you to go on a blind date, and you accuse me of selling you?"
