Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison novel Chapter 434

“There’s something I’d like to ask you, Miss Bradley. It might be a bit rude of me, but it’s got to do with you, and I’d like to clear up the reasons.”

“What do you want to know?”

Miranda asked coldly. She was afraid that Selena would say something earth-shattering and cause her to be separated from Jason.

As someone with a particularly active imagination, she was especially worried that Selena’s child had something to do with Jason, which meant she really might lose him.

As she was nervously waiting for Selena’s next sentence, Selena slowly opened her mouth.

“I gave Jason a call once. Back then, the person who called was my mother. She called Jason with my phone. I’d wanted to let my mother know something through Jason because she didn’t believe me at the time, but you were the person who picked up at the time. Do you remember that, Miss Bradley?”

Miranda blinked, recalled the incident, and her expression turned strange.

They were here at this point already. Miranda couldn’t be making a dog’s ear of it at a time like this. She asked on cautiously.

“There was such an event, yes. What about it? Are you accusing me of something? I hung up directly at the time and asked you not to disturb Jason. He and I are engaged now and I don’t want other women to approach him. I would like you and Jason to maintain a certain distance as well. Do you have an opinion about that?”

Miranda raised a spiky shell around herself like a hedgehog, and her face also turned chilly.

She felt like Selena was accusing her of something.

Of course, Miranda also didn’t want Selena to tell Jason about this.

Back then, after all, her attitude really hadn’t been good, and she’d lied deliberately.

Selena suddenly chuckled helplessly.

“Don’t mistake me, Miss Bradley, I’ve never harbored romantic feelings for Jason and vice versa. The two of us don’t have anything else going on. He’s always treated me as his sister.

“As for our families discussing marriage, it’s because arranged marriages are popular with families like ours, and Jason’s parents watched me grow up. They were worried that Jason wouldn’t find a woman they approved of, and Jason doesn’t dislike me too much, so our two families discussed marriage. Back then, my mother felt it was good, so it got somewhere. But it didn’t end up going through, and in that process, Jason and I never developed feelings for each other. It’s the opposite. He always cared for me as a brother.”

At that, Miranda’s face turned a bit red.

Had she misunderstood? Besides, she could see that Selena really did have a nice personality. She was quiet and gentle.

She herself, though, seemed to be a bit too petty towards such a kind person.

Biting her lip, Miranda asked embarrassedly.

“So what did you want to ask me?”

“Back then, my mother suspected that I’d some something she couldn’t tolerate on the birthday of Jason’s grandfather, so that’s why I called Jason to have him prove that I was with him that day. But back then, when you received the call, Miss Bradley, you denied it right away and said Jason was with you, which led to my mother believing that I was lying. I didn’t understand why you’d lie to my mother with an attitude like that, but now I think I get it.”

Saying that, Selena shook her head, exasperated.

So that was why. She thought that something she didn’t know had happened. It was just simple misunderstanding.

She could see today that this Miss Miranda Bradley really did like Jason.

Jason was a bit of a playboy before, so as someone who had almost been his fiancé, of course she was someone Miranda was wary of.

So with a topic like that, Miranda might have just reflexively denied it.

Miranda’s face reddened some more. She hadn’t thought that she’d caused Miranda trouble like this.

Guilty, her words turned careful.

“I’m sorry. I’m too impulsive and I hurt you. Would you like me to explain it to your mother? I’m really sorry.”

Miranda bent her back and apologized, while Selena smiled and shook her head.

“It’s over now. I was just asking you because I didn’t understand. I was afraid that there was some misunderstanding between us and it’d cause something bigger later on. Now that we’ve explained it all, it’s fine. I just hope that you remember what I said today, Miss Bradley.”

Selena was being this generous with no trace of blame in her voice. Miranda was getting even guiltier.

She was about to say something when the door opened again.
