"What do you want to tell me? Can't you just say it on the phone? I thought you met me alone because you wanted to discuss with me how to get Jason to pull himself together. I heard that Jason hasn't officially gone to work yet, he stays at home every day. Miranda left, it's really sad."
Jasper was obviously more concerned about Jason, and even if Robert did not discuss with him, he was ready to talk to Robert today about how this matter should be resolved.
"Do you remember the question I asked you the day of Jason's wedding? You told me how you felt about Selena."
Those words instantly made Jasper's face change as he stared at the person in front of him, then smiled bitterly.
"I understand, you must be persuading me to suppress this kind of mood and not to do something wrong, right? We've been brothers for so many years, even if I had such nasty thoughts in my heart, I couldn't possibly put them into practice! I didn't go home and fled abroad specifically, isn't it because I'm afraid of this kind of feelings festering up? I understand all that, I'm sober and would never do anything stupid."
This sentence makes Robert can't help but laugh, Jasper of course is very sober, Selena is also very sober, it is because these two people are too sober, they will both suppress their feelings, will both find a way to be good to each other. They are afraid to let each other know this kind of emotion, so these two people surprisingly miss so long. If each other one of them impulsively made to reveal their hearts, he had no need to reminded of it, and after thinking about it, he didn't beat around the bush.
"If it was before that you told me you had such thoughts, I would have approved of such thoughts and would have watched you to keep you from doing something stupid, but you and Selena aren't real siblings, so why are you so afraid?"
When Robert finished speaking, Jasper was the one who revealed a sad look.
"Didn't I tell you last time? This is the kind of thing my parents can't accept, and this kind of thing on my mind is also very nasty. I'm afraid that if I say it out loud, it will affect the brother-sister relationship between Selena and me, and it will also make the atmosphere in the family tense up."
"You also know that Selena is just an adopted daughter, if I show this kind of feelings, although my parents love Selena, they might suspect Selena's character and think that Selena seduced me. I don't want to ruin Selena's current life, not to mention that she has someone she likes, she became a single mother for someone she likes, I don't want her to lose me as her brother. I understand very well that once I tell the truth, Selena will just take the kid and leave again."
"You're such a fool!"
Robert showed a gentle smile this time, he felt that Jasper was really suppressing himself too much, in fact he should have said it earlier, but after all, he had been preparing for those few people's funerals in the past few days, and it was not good to mention such things, but now it seemed that this was the most appropriate time to say it.
"Do you know who is the father of Selena's kid? Your parents knew about it, Georgia and I knew about it, and Jason knew about it, but all of us kept it from you, and do you know why?"
Jasper's expression began to become strange, he had a terrible suspicion, but did not want to believe it. He thought of all the things Selena had done after she got pregnant, thought of Selena's kind of fear and the desire to escape, and the decision to finally have to go home again.
