Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 2392

Yasmin snorted. However, as Ross was her son, she felt less angry after hearing his apology.

Ross lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things.”

"Are you really?" Yasmin raised her brow at him. "Look me in the eyes."

He slowly looked at her, and they gazed at each other quietly.

Yasmin narrowed her eyes and chuckled. “Ross, your eyes tell me you're insincere.”

She knew her son best and that he only apologized lest he upset her. However, Yasmin’s mindset changed after she passed out last time. Whenever she spoke to Dominic or Fred, her perspective would shift as well.

“Ross, you've been in Hyderland for along time, so I can understand why Hylanders can influence you," she murmured, "

But have you ever wondered if they might be using you?"

Ross stared at her in disbelief. "Mother, I wasn't born yesterday. I have good judgment."

If not for his mother’s health, his retort would have been much harsher.

‘How can she say such a thing? Does she genuinely think I’m so stupid and that others can easily manipulate me?"

"I know you weren't born yesterday, but you're too sentimental and easily blinded by emotions," Yasmin sighed and muttered, "That’s one of the reasons I haven't passed the throne to you."

Ross fell silent, not expecting her to bring that up. He had once looked forward to becoming the king, but after many years, he gradually stopped hoping. Perhaps it would only happen after

Yasmin reached a hundred. Perhaps he would even die before her.

Having a good family, he did not mind being a prince for the rest of his life. Now that Yasmin had brought it up, Ross could not help but say, “Mother, have you successfully avoided manipulation your whole life?”

The queen fell silent as she recalled her past mistakes. She had chosen to forget about them as they were negligible compared to her achievements over the decades. Still, she felt embarrassed when Ross mentioned it.

Yasmin said grimly, “Is that how you talk to me?”

Budging, unlike last time, Ross said, "I'm sorry, Mother. I shouldn't have said that. I'm just saying that it might...or might not be my fault."

She looked less angry but still felt upset. Yasmin closed her eyes with a sign and adjusted her breathing before saying, “You look gentle but are stubborn as a mule.”

Ross chuckled. "Aren't you the same? An apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?"

"Do you know that Hyderland is also conducting this experiment?" she suddenly asked.

‘You didn't know, huh?" Yasmin opened her eyes and looked at him knowingly.
