Chapter 868 Repay Him With Your Love
Selena was wholly mesmerized by Savannah’s clear, bright eyes the first time she met her. Perhaps I’ve been surrounded by wealthy people for too long now—I don’t recall the last time I’ve seen such a pure, untroubled look in someone’s eyes. It’s no wonder that Jason has been yearning for the same girl even after all those years. Her face leaves a solid impression, Selena thought.
A rather bashful expression formed on Savannah’s face when she first met Selena. “Hello.”
“Hey. I’m Selena, Jason’s cousin.” Selena greeted her. “My name is Savannah Murray. Jason told me about you,” Savannah replied with a reserved smile.
“Is your surname Murray as well?” Selena gave the other woman a curious gaze.
“I got Jason to change my name for me. I didn’t want to keep my previous name, and Jason’s the one who saved me. I wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for him, so I decided that I’d take his surname,” Savannah explained.
It was the first time the both of them had met one another, and Selena had already found herself at a loss for words. She finally understood Jason’s concerns—she now shared his worries of accidentally saying something that might hurt this girl with her pure, innocent eyes.
“Do you like Jason, Savannah?” Selena had to force herself to start somewhere. “Yeah,” Savannah muttered as she lowered her head shyly. “Do you understand how much he likes you?” Selena continued asking.
Savannah lifted her head to look at Selena as she didn’t quite understand what the other woman meant. She shook her head puzzledly.
“Jason was supposed to get married to another woman. Our family had arranged a marriage for him, but he doesn’t like that woman at all. That woman was arrogant and demanding, and she even tried to harm me! She’s terrible.
Before their marriage, I had a chat with Jason, and I saw him looking at a picture of you. That’s when I found out that he actually fancies someone else,” Selena explained.
Savannah felt her cheeks turning warm upon hearing Selena’s words. She hadn’t expected Jason to hold on to a picture of her—she didn’t even know when he snapped the picture of her.
“I asked Jason about it back then, and he said that he had left his own marriage in the hands of the others. He didn’t care about who he got married to in the past because he already knew that he couldn’t marry the woman of his dreams. His heart had turned cold at that point.
That was why I helped him to get out of his arranged marriage so that he could travel over to look for you. He has been thinking about you all along. I believe you’ve been on his mind for nearly five years now,” Selena continued.
“It has been around five years.” Savannah nodded thoughtfully. “Someone who can get Jason to miss her for five years must be an extremely attractive woman, don’t you think?” Selena giggled.
Savannah responded with a timid smile. “How am I attractive?”
“You are! Jason had totally fallen for you the first time he met you. Even I feel mesmerized by you right now,” Selena uttered in a genuine tone. Her sincerity seemed to have closed the distance between the both of them.
“I’m not worthy of his love. I feel like I’m indebted to him,” Savannah replied. Those were precisely the words that Selena had been waiting for. “How would you like to repay him?”
Savannah was stunned by her question. “My husband once risked his life for me.” Selena told Savannah all about her stories with Pierre, and Savannah found herself captivated by their experiences. “My husband is an extremely wonderful man, and I used to wonder how I ended up being with a man as perfect as him.
However, since God blessed me with the opportunity to meet someone like him, I’ve decided to accept our relationship now. I’ve decided to hold onto our love, and to treat him well so that I don’t feel guilty for accepting all that he has done for me.”
Savannah seemed to understand what Selena meant after listening to her last few sentences. “If I were you, Savannah, I’d use up all of my courage to accept him, to love him, and to be there for him.
That’s the best way you would be able to repay him—with your own love and lifelong companionship. What do you think?” Selena asked. Savannah nodded solemnly.
“To be completely honest with you, my grandmother’s nearing the end of her life. She has been waiting for Jason to get married. I’m not ordering you to repay his kindness, Savannah. I’m just suggesting that you consider this opportunity. He’s a really good man.”
