Chapter 754
Pierre only responded with a haughty look and said, "Nope, I'm not." As he originally saw Jason as his love rival, he now felt awkward to learn that he was, in fact, his cousin-in-law. Therefore, that no longer pu him in any position to interfere with whatever Selena wanted to do with Jason. Because of that, he didn't know how to face Jason. Ugh! It's going to be awkward if we meet.
"Alright, I'll take the kids along in that case while you stay home then." Selena turned around and walked away.
"Wait!" Pierre quickly stood in front of Selena. "It wouldn't seem appropriate if the whole family shows up without me."
"So?"
"So that means I'm going with you guys. After all, they're still my in-laws."
Selena rolled her eyes at Pierre, knowing what he wasn't happy about. "That's right. They're your in-laws, my family, which means if you dare to bully me..."
Needless to say, Selena's words didn't sit well with Pierre. What's wrong with her? Is she trying to show her backbone now that she thinks the Murray Family has her back? Although Jocelyn never really took Roland and his family seriously due to the way he had treated her, the same could not be said for the Murray Family, which was why Pierre felt especially stressed out. Thus, he quickly changed into a decent suit and put on a necktie before he set out with his family.
On their way there, Selena explained to her children that she would be reunited with her long-lost family, whom she would introduce the kids to.
Upon arrival, Selena saw Jason lying in bed with a rather pale face, thinking he was still recovering after his operation. Meanwhile, Jason was already aware of Selena's origin as Selena went on and said, "Children, please allow me to introduce my cousin, Jason Murray. You all should call him Uncle Jason, and this is my aunt. So you all should address her as Grandaunt Jocelyn."
"Uncle James, Grandaunt Jocelyn!" The kids greeted the adults.
Jocelyn walked closer and held Selena's hands. "It's good to see you back with us. I didn't know you already had a family."
For some reason, Selena felt estranged about how it felt to interact with her long-lost family. But she quickly dismissed the thought.
"Listen. I'm sorry about what
happened during the dance last time. Your grandma... must have been fooled by Linda's lies, which was why she treated you so harshly. So please don't take it to heart."
"No, Aunt Jocelyn. You're too kind. Please just be yourself."
At that moment, Pierre faked a cough as Selena sighed helplessly. This guy here is always seeking attention.
"Jason, Aunt Jocelyn, this is my husband, Pierre. I believe you have met each other before."
Pierre forced a brittle smile and nodded apologetically, thinking he must mend his relationship with the Murray Family since they were now his in-laws.
Although Jason couldn't take his
eyes off Selena, Pierre somehow felt happy and gleeful about that. There may be more chances for him to get in touch with Selena, but I guess it's safe to say that he will never be with her now that they're cousins.
"It was fate that brought us back together. No wonder you looked especially amiable to me when I first saw you.
Upon hearing Jason's words, Pierre secretly rolled his eyes, finding it funny. Nicely put, indeed! You're good with words, Jason.
"That's right. I never thought you
would turn out to be my cousin. For some reason, it feels weird now that
I have a cousin. Haha." Selena and
Jason intentionally kept thei
distance from each other.
Before they left, Pierre suddenly instructed his men to bring in many different gifts and presents. "This is a little something from us, and I hope you like them."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
When they were on their way home, Selena looked at Pierre, trying to keep a straight face.
"Are you laughing? Why are you staring at me like that?" Pierre couldn't stand watching Selena's smile as his patience finally wore thin.
