“I don’t know that.”
That was the entirety of Jason’s reply.
“Did he like Eliana and grow to hate you? I remember that you faked being in a relationship with Eliana and a lot of people thought of you two as the golden boy and girl, when in reality the two of you didn’t get anywhere. Did Barney misunderstand that? But it’s been so many years, does he still want revenge?”
“How would I know that? I’ll just investigate Barney some more. But you say that I faked being in a relationship with Eliana. What’s that about?”
Robert suddenly thought of Wesley’s unknown mother, and was afraid of some ex-girlfriend popping up and getting in between him and Georgia.
Especially with Wesley’s mother appearing. He was still worried with Eliana popping up all of a sudden even if Jason said they were in a fake relationship.
“I really don’t know. Back then, the whole school was rife with rumors that you were together with Eliana. Jasper and I asked you about it back then about what was going on, while you said it was fake but we didn’t need to clear it up and could just let everyone misunderstand you. You clearly didn’t intend to tell us your reasons so Jasper and I didn’t ask about it. It’s been so long that I almost didn’t remember it.
“Don’t worry about it now. You and Eliana were definitely never a pair. Besides, even if you’d been in a relationship, that was years ago. You’re with Georgia now, and you don’t think she’s going to get hung up about that, do you?”
Robert smiled faintly. Of course that wasn’t what he was worried about. He just felt that Eliana was involved, and with her being so prominent in his past, it might affect his life now.
But he just couldn’t remember. That was the titillating part.
After talking about Barney, Robert looked at Miranda, who was waiting quietly at the side.
Robert actively said thanks to Miranda.
“Thank you for helping Georgia today, Miss Bradly. If you need the Simpson family’s assistance with anything from now on, please just speak up. I’ll remember your favor today.”
Miranda stood and smiled.
“You’re friends with Jason. As his future wife, it’s only a small thing. We’ll count as family from now on, and Georgia will become like a sister to me. Even passersby should help each other, and I’m helping Jason’s friend to begin with. You have to keep watch over him from now on so some other bimbo doesn’t tangle up with him. If you can do that, I’d be really thankful.”
At Miranda’s words, Jason was embarrassed and exasperated, but he wasn’t annoyed.
Robert smiled.
“Don’t worry. Jason’s really a big softie inside. I’ll watch him for you and keep him faithful to you.”
Jason couldn’t help but complain internally that this bastard was selling him out for his wife.
Apparently it was gals before pals out here.
But he did find Miranda especially cute whenever she bossed him around. That was also why he always let her have her way.
He liked her bossy side. Maybe he liked being abused. Jason spared a moment to feel disgusted with himself.
As Robert said that, he saw that Selena had just finished dinner.
Elliot and Bailey weren’t there.
Thinking of what had happened with Jasper, Robert felt the need to ask Selena if something else had happened.
He spoke up.
“Selena, do you have some hidden troubles? Or something your brother can’t know. You can talk about it and let us help.”
