“Uncle Jason, if you truly have feelings for my mom, just say the word, and I will find a way to help you. If not, I apologize again for my abruptness today.” 

Jason’s hand holding the cup trembled slightly. 

But he didn’t let my words cloud his judgment, his voice remained rational. 

“Charlotte, I won’t force Yasmin. If she loves me, I will cherish her for a lifetime, but if she doesn’t, I’m willing to be her friend for life.” 

Upon hearing this, I understood and advised him, “If, as you say, my mom rejected you out of guilt, then she must have feelings for you. If not, she would have directly apologized and said there’s no possibility between you two.” 

Jason used to think the same way. He and Yasmin had shared half a lifetime. 

Their time together surpassed that of many couples, and they understood each other deeply. 

He felt that since she hadn’t clearly rejected him, perhaps they could take a step further… 

But later he changed his  

mind, not because of her subtle rejection. 

Rather, he understood Yasmin–if she liked someone, she would take the initiative. 

If she didn’t take a single step, it indicated a lack of interest. 

Jason looked at me. “Haven’t you asked your mom if she has someone she likes?” 

I had asked. 

But my mom said no, expressing a desire to be alone and free. 

Yet those around her couldn’t sense how free she truly felt. 

She was nothing like the vibrant star she used to be. 

Since the incident at the banquet, my mom had been feeling guilty and regretful. 

She might claim to have moved on, but deep down, she was likely more repressed than anyone. 

That was why I came to find Jason today. 

Sometimes when you’re at a dead end, you just want to try. 

“Won’t you give it a shot?” 

Jason smiled, but the warmth didn’t reach his eyes. “If try and fail, I won’t even be able to be friends with 

Yasmin.” 

A shallow attempt could let them act as if nothing had happened, as they used to. 

But if he went too far, then it would lead to them being further apart. 

Given Yasmin’s personality, she would likely keep her distance. 

He didn’t want to take that risk.

“Charlotte, I’m sorry.” 

1 bowed again. “I’m the one who should apologize for disturbing you. You do what you have to, and I’ll leave now.” 

Jason saw us off to the car. 

Michael didn’t leave with us, he stayed with the crew for his scene later.
