Chapter 1777

"Mom, don't say that..." Jeffrey frowned and looked embarrassed. "You make it sound like I'm an idiot. I'm not that weak. I choose to stay here to take care of you both and help you. If I go out to make a living, I'm sure I can adapt to it." Jeffrey didn't want Renee to regard him as a useless idiot, so he quickly tried to defend himself.

"Well, have you been away from the village or to the city? Do you know how to fly on a plane, ride a train, or use the subway? What can you do other than fishing?" Ava didn't realize Jeffrey was trying to impress Renee, and was upset that her obedient son was opposing her.

"I… I don't, but I can learn. You both didn't allow me to go out of the village because you didn't want me to meet bad people. You both are the ones who didn't give me a chance to see the world!" Jeffrey protested stubbornly, rebelling against his parents for the first time.

Renee hurriedly tried to mediate the situation when she noticed that they were about to get into a fight.
