“Do you remember that you dealt with Eden last time? Do you remember the matter about Jasper and Selena that I told you last time?”
How could Robert not remember the matter? Robert asked.
“What happened? Did something happen to Selena abroad?”
“It's not about Selena, but something happened to Jasper. I told you last time that I didn't know what possessed Jennifer to pretend that she had sex with Jasper, and she insisted on Jasper taking responsibility for it. Jasper didn't care about it, and he treated it as he married a decor. I have to help Selena conceal this, but it's not easy to tell Jasper about this. I think the farce between Jasper and Jennifer will start from the engagement, and they will divorce if they can't get married or after marriage. But an accident happens, and I'm not sure what to do now.”
“What kind of accident? It seems like not a simple matter when I see your face now. Is it serious?”
Jason nodded heavily.
“Both families of Jasper and Jennifer arranged two of them to be engaged in early spring next year. I think that Jennifer will not force Jasper to marry her if the engagement drags. She did it to disgust us at that time, but there is something happened now. Jennifer is pregnant and insisted that the baby is Jasper's. Jasper told me that their engagement has moved up to the end of this month, and then they will get married next month. I know that Jasper does not care about the marriage. But I have more in mind when it comes to the baby.”
“Do you suspect that the baby is not Jasper's since it was Selena inside the room that night, and Jennifer went in later? So you have suspicions about her baby? We can't tell the truth to Jasper, even though we know it. So you feel depressed now, don't you?”
Jason nodded.
“It's true indeed. Jasper does not care about his marriage. I don't care about the farce made between Jasper and Jennifer at first, but it involves a baby now. If the baby is Jasper's, the marriage between them will be complicated. Jasper will make a fool of himself if the baby is not his. Who am I to say that the person that night was not Jennifer, and the baby is not his. I can't provide any evidence.”
“Moreover, there is a possibility that the baby may be Jasper's. Jennifer may also do this kind of thing since she is crazy now. I want to discuss with you that what to do next. Now it's in my head. I feel sorry for Jasper if I don't tell him the truth. What should Selena do if I tell him the truth? What should the Holland family do? I'm so confused now.”
Robert also struggled with Jason's words.
“Do you still have contact with Selena now? How is she now?”
“Selena seldom contact with me. She has always felt that she has troubled us, and she won't call me if she doesn't have any difficulties. I occasionally called her to ask about her physical condition, and she only said that everything was all right and didn't worry about her. I don't dare to tell her that Jennifer is pregnant now. I'm afraid that she will worry about Jasper.”
“A pregnant woman can do the paternity test for the baby as well. However, the relationship between the Holland family and the Johnson family is over if we let Jennifer do the test. The Johnson family will not agree on dragging the wedding of Jasper and Jennifer until the baby is born and done the test. I know that you don't want Jasper to hold the bag. Then we lie to him that you saw another woman in the room that night, but you don't confirm whether Jennifer went in and had sex with him. You don't tell him that the woman you saw was Selena. What do you think?”
“It takes one hundred lies to cover up one lie. I think it is dangerous, but it seems to be the only way to solve the problem. Should we call Jasper over and talk with him?”
Jason tentatively asked Robert. Jason had the same thought as Robert that he could not look on miserably and watch Jasper be a cuckold and raise a child for another man.
Jasper was cynical, but he should not be humiliated by this matter.
“You make a phone call for Jasper to come over.”
Jasper received a call from them, and they said that there was an important thing to be discussed in Robert's villa. He felt a little strange about it.
However, he had no problem with it since they wanted to meet.
Jasper immediately drove to Robert's villa. Three people were sitting in the living room. Jasper smiled and asked when he saw Robert and Jason looked distressed.
“Why you guys look wretched? You can speak freely. Is it because of Jennifer? I'll take responsibility for her since she is pregnant. I'm only marrying a wife. I'll be a responsible father in the future. I can also be a responsible husband, but it depends on whether Jennifer can honestly be my wife. I will respect my wife, and I will be good to her and treat her with respect as long as she doesn't make trouble out of anything. Why you guys look worried about me?”
Jasper thought that Jason and Robert were worried because of Jennifer possibly marrying him. Robert took a glance at Jason while Jason said heavily.
“There is one thing that I've not known how to tell you. Jasper, please don't beat me after I say it.”
Jasper had never seen Jason looked solemn like this. He asked discreetly.
“Don't keep me guessing. We've been brothers for so many years, say it frankly.”
“Didn't you drink wine and felt like taking pills on the night of our family dinner? You asked me to arrange a woman for you at that time. I've sent a woman to you indeed, but the woman left once she received the money in the first half of the night. In the latter half of the night, I didn't know when Jennifer went into your room and how she was in your bed. I couldn't explain to you since I didn't know what happened in your room at that time. I felt not good to say it. However, Jennifer is pregnant now. I'm worrying that the baby she is carrying may not be yours.”
After Jason speaking, Jasper's face clouded over.
“Why are you telling me now? Where is the woman who took the money? I won't feel anything even if you tell me at that time.”
“Many things have happened on that day. Robert was missing in my place. I had to put my whole soul to look for the murderer and Robert that night. Jennifer meddled in at that time. I've always thought that you must take responsibility for Jennifer if she had sex with you in the latter half of the night, even if you had sex with another woman in the first half of the night. It was pointless to say it at that time, but Jennifer is pregnant now. We all know that Jennifer is a dishonest woman. I'm worrying that she is conceiving another man's baby. I always feel that she wants to disgust us.”
