Chapter 433
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
âI donât know that.â
That was the entirety of Jasonâs reply.
âDid he like Eliana and grow to hate you? I remember that you faked being in a relationship with Eliana and a lot of people thought of you two as the golden boy and girl, when in reality the two of you didnât get anywhere. Did Barney misunderstand that? But itâs been so many years, does he still want revenge?â
âHow would I know that? Iâll just investigate Barney some more. But you say that I faked being in a relationship with Eliana. Whatâs that about?â
Robert suddenly thought of Wesleyâs unknown mother, and was afraid of some ex-girlfriend popping up and getting in between him and Georgia.
Especially with Wesleyâs mother appearing. He was still worried with Eliana popping up all of a sudden even if Jason said they were in a fake relationship.
âI really donât know. Back then, the whole school was rife with rumors that you were together with Eliana. Jasper and I asked you about it back then about what was going on, while you said it was fake but we didnât need to clear it up and could just let everyone misunderstand you. You clearly didnât intend to tell us your reasons so Jasper and I didnât ask about it. Itâs been so long that I almost didnât remember it.
âDonât worry about it now. You and Eliana were definitely never a pair. Besides, even if youâd been in a relationship, that was years ago. Youâre with Georgia now, and you donât think sheâs going to get hung up about that, do you?â
Robert smiled faintly. Of course that wasnât what he was worried about. He just felt that Eliana was involved, and with her being so prominent in his past, it might affect his life now.
But he just couldnât remember. That was the titillating part.
After talking about Barney, Robert looked at Miranda, who was waiting quietly at the side.
Robert actively said thanks to Miranda.
âThank you for helping Georgia today, Miss Bradly. If you need the Simpson familyâs assistance with anything from now on, please just speak up. Iâll remember your favor today.â
Miranda stood and smiled.
âYouâre friends with Jason. As his future wife, itâs only a small thing. Weâll count as family from now on, and Georgia will become like a sister to me.
Even passersby should help each other, and Iâm helping Jasonâs friend to begin with. You have to keep watch over him from now on so some other bimbo doesnât tangle up with him. If you can do that, Iâd be really thankful.â
At Mirandaâs words, Jason was embarrassed and exasperated, but he wasnât annoyed.
Robert smiled.
âDonât worry. Jasonâs really a big softie inside. Iâll watch him for you and keep him faithful to you.â
Jason couldnât help but complain internally that this bastard was selling him out for his wife.
Apparently it was gals before pals out here.
But he did find Miranda especially cute whenever she bossed him around. That was also why he always let her have her way.
He liked her bossy side. Maybe he liked being abused. Jason spared a moment to feel disgusted with himself.
As Robert said that, he saw that Selena had just finished dinner.
Elliot and Bailey werenât there.
Thinking of what had happened with Jasper, Robert felt the need to ask Selena if something else had happened.
He spoke up.
âSelena, do you have some hidden troubles? Or something your brother canât know. You can talk about it and let us help.â
As Robert said that, Selena grew a bit dubious.
She didnât quite understand what Robert was saying.
âCan you be a bit clearer about it, Robert? I donât quite take your meaning.â
âI saw Jasper this morning and he told me he feels like somethingâs off with you. He thinks youâre hiding a lot from him. Jasper feels like you have some difficulty and youâre always holding something back in your eyes. He doesnât understand whatâs happened to you and heâs really worried about you.â
At that, Selenaâs hand scrunched together and her face turned pale. Robert continued.
âI know that everyone has things they donât want to talk about. But youâre brother and sister. Whatâs there not to talk about? He cares about you a lot.
And the way he sees it, you were the one to donate the kidney to him this time, and he owes you. He doesnât understand why you look so guilty. I donât know if heâs misunderstanding anything, but come on, Selena, you know what your brother is like. You know heâs optimistic and generous, but he cares about you as a sister a lot. If you have any secret you canât say, he might be able to hold it in, but he can tell that youâre not happy about the secret and even upset about it. That he canât stand.
âFind an opportunity to talk to him about it, if you could. Heâs angry about it but you had your operation, so he canât really say anything while you recover. I shouldnât be the one to say this but I bumped into you here, so I had to say it here. Donât tell Jasper, in case he gets on my case after he hears about it.â
Selena lowered her head, not daring to look up at Robert.
Jasper guessed what was up right away and dragged Robert out.
âReally, of all the things to mention. Iâll tell you about this later. Donât get involved in Jasper and Selenaâs sibling affairs. You know this before, but you forgot the past, so youâre not aware of how complicated this is. Itâs not the best time to talk about this today. Weâll find a chance to discuss it next time.
Hurry up and go see your wife. Iâll smooth things over with Selena and come find you.â
Robert didnât quite understand. No matter which way he cut it, it looked like Jason knew something about what had happened between these two siblings.
But since Jason had said to talk about it later, he could only nod and leave.
With Georgia having woken up for so long, it was time to do what he needed to and visit her.
As in the room, after Robert and Jason left, there was only Selena and Miranda left inside.
Miranda actually wasnât too willing to be here with Selena. She suspected Jason and Selena had some kind of relationship before. Call it womanâs intuition.
And the two families had even discussed marriage. She considered Selena her number one rival.
Her original plan had been to visit Georgia with Jason, or see Jasper, but both of them hadnât woken up yet.
Unexpectedly, sheâd followed Jason in to see Selena.
After coming in, other than a polite greeting, Miranda didnât talk much with Selena.
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison ï¤Chapter 432 So It Was Barney Stone The Unexpected Marriage ï¤Chapter 251 What's The Use Of You Have I Told You Lately ï¤Chapter 147 It must Feel Good to Have Him Drive Me to Work She didnât know her too well and observing her from a close distance, she seemed to have a quiet personality, and ought to be a nice girl.
If theyâd been friends, they might have been good ones.
But she just had to be a potential rival, which threw Miranda off.
It wouldnât do to get close but it wouldnât do to separate herself, so Miranda just stood there awkwardly in the room looking at Jason talk with Selena.
The two were only chatting as friends, but she felt a bit panicked.
Then, unexpectedly, because of Robertâs sudden question, Jason had just dragged him off without a care in the world.
Now the two of them were left there in the room and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Miranda decided to keep silent. She really didnât know what to say.
Selena, though, looked at this Miss Bradley before her, recalled everything that had happened in the past, and couldnât help but raise a question.
