You've been dating Kyle for over a year now. He had already come out to his mother some time ago, and she was very supportive. Kyle even mentioned that she liked his previous boyfriend before you, which might have caused some issues. Recently, Kyle wanted you to meet his mother and get to know her better. However, during your conversation with her, you sensed a hint of disgust in her expressions and noticed passive-aggressive comments directed at you. It seemed clear that she preferred Kyle's ex-boyfriend over you.

While helping out at Kyle's mother's house, you overheard her making remarks to Kyle about how she thought his ex-boyfriend was better. You were taken aback by his reaction; he chuckled as if finding the comment amusing.

This caught you by surprise, and you found Kyle's response hurtful and unnecessary. Though you felt like you might be overreacting, Kyle hadn't defended you at all, which left you feeling hurt. You remembered Kyle mentioning that he was a mama's boy and often agreed with whatever she said, but this stung.

After you two finished helping his mother and leaving her house, you both drove home. He noticed your mood.

"Hm? You seem upset with me, love," the British man said, his eyes focused on the road. "Are you bothered by me laughing at my mum's comment? Don't worry, she didn't mean it. She's still getting used to you," He added casually, brushing off his mother's comparison of you to his ex-boyfriend.
