Chapter 847 She’s Married
The skies had turned dark, and Jason was utterly exhausted by the time he dragged himself home. There was a lot of work to do at the company, so he had been reaching home late for the past few days.
Regardless of how tired he was, he would always peek into the baby’s room just to catch a glimpse of the baby who was fast asleep. He felt like all his weariness would disappear every time he saw the tiny, newborn child in the room.
After visiting the baby, Jason rushed to his study. He was tired, but he wasn’t prepared to go to bed yet, for he had been feeling agitated the entire day after Jane showed up earlier. I feel like everything was so much more peaceful when the Murray Group was struggling with its business.
Jane didn’t show up once, and I could put my complete attention into managing the company. I can’t believe she’s back to clinging onto me now that the company’s doing much better.
In the study, Jason opened one of the drawers and retrieved a diary from inside. It was a regular diary with a leather cover, and it was so old that it almost looked like an antique.
There was a tiny photograph that was pasted onto the first page once he opened the diary. It was a photo of a young girl with a bright smile on her face.
“I’m coming in, Jason.” Selena was standing by the door, and she made her way in after she spoke. Noticing that, Jason hastily kept the diary away, but Selena managed to catch a glimpse of it before he slid it into the drawer. “What are you looking at, Jason?” Selena was puzzled as he looked like he was hiding away a treasured item.
“Nothing much. Why aren’t you asleep?” Jason asked as he gently shut the drawer. “I went to check on the baby,” Selena said as she sat down. “Jane dropped by today, Jason.”
He couldn’t stop himself from frowning the moment he heard Jane’s name. “What was she here for?”
“She said that she was here to visit my baby. She even brought a few gifts over. Your expression turned sour the moment I mentioned Jane’s name, Jason. If you look like that just after hearing her name, how are you going to live the rest of your life being married to her? You’re going to be seeing her every day.”
Jason felt his head pounding at the thought of it. “I’m sure you can tell that I don’t like Jane, Selena.” “Of course. I knew it all along. So, who do you actually like?” she asked.
“I like…” He stopped himself before he could say anything else. “Please don’t say that I’m the one you like. Pierre would get so jealous if he found out about this! Hahaha…” Selena teased him.
“Honestly, I used to think that you were interested in me. You found all sorts of ways to approach me in the past, and it really caused me to misunderstand you,” she continued. He froze upon hearing her words. “Really?”
“Of course. It caused Pierre and me a great deal of trouble as well. Don’t you feel like he still acts in a rather vigilant manner when he’s with you? He even reminded me to stay away from you before he left.”
Jason felt rather embarrassed then. “I’m so sorry. I can’t believe my actions led to such a huge misunderstanding. I’ll have to clear things up with Pierre soon.”
“So, is there someone else you’re interested in, Jason?” Selena tried her luck with the same question again.
Although Jason’s expression stiffened for a moment, he quickly reopened his drawer to take out the diary that he had been looking at earlier. Then, he showed Selena the picture of the young girl.
“Woah. She’s really pretty! Is this the girl you fancy, Jason?” Selena looked closely at the photo. “The more I look at the photo, the more I feel like this girl resembles me a little.”
“She’s not as pretty as you are, but she looks similar to you when she smiles. The both of you look really pure and bright when you are smiling,” he explained.
It was then that Selena understood Jason’s past actions. No wonder he tried so hard to get close to me when he first met me. It’s probably because of this girl. “Why don’t you look for her then, Jason?
I don’t think you have to be that filial of a grandson. If you’re going to suffer after getting married to Jane, I’m sure my grandparents, Aunt Jocelyn and Uncle Reuben will all feel worried and guilty for allowing the marriage to happen. I think you should voice your opinions, Jason.”
At that, he let out a long sigh. “Why aren’t you going for this woman instead?” Selena asked once more. “She’s married,” he replied.
