This Son was the most amiable that can be imagined—innocent, virtuous, beautiful, Who loved His Mother most tenderly; so much so that He had never caused her the least displeasure, but had ever shown her all respect, obedience, and affection: hence this Mother had placed all her affections on earth in this Son.

Luke 2:48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."

"This Son was the most amiable that can be imagined—innocent, virtuous, beautiful, Who loved His Mother most tenderly; so much so that He had never caused her the least displeasure,"

Note the context: "virtuous", "innocent". It's about deeds or moral acts, i.e., He did no evil to cause her displeasure.

"Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."

Easy to be misinterpreted.

He did not deliberately cause her to be searching for Him "anxiously", but He did allow the anxious search as He allowed her to stand beneath the cross.

Christ can do no evil.
