Chapter 434 Selena and Miranda’s Misunderstanding
“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 particrly 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 using 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 using 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 popr 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 yboy 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 exin 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 biggerter on. Now that we’ve exined 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 me in her voice. Miranda was getting even guiltier.
She was about to say something when the door opened again.
Jason walked back in and saw Miranda’s flush.
The air between the two women seemed a bit awkward. Jason couldn’t help but ask about it.
“Did the two of you talk about something? Your expressions look weird.”
Miranda grew nervous subconsciously, for fear that Selena would spill it all.
She looked at her, squirming, but Selena only turned to Jason and smiled.
“I just asked Miss Bradley if she’d like a daughter or a son. Miss Bradley just asked me about Dan. You
know how women love chatting about this stuff. So I teased Miss Bradley that maybe you’ll have a
daughter and a son, and with Miss Bradley this pretty and you so handsome, Jason, you’re sure to
have beautiful children. That’s why Miss Bradley is blushing.”
As Selena finished, Jasonughed.
“You’re even talking about that, then. What if the genes make them ugly?”
At that, Miranda grew angry.
“What kind of talk is that? We’re both good-looking people, so how could that child have some gic
mutation? They’ll be more beautiful and more handsome than the two of us. No jinxing!”
Jason found the way the woman before him threw tantrums especially cute, and shook his head with a
helpless smile.
It really wasn’t right of him to say that. It was a joke, but Miranda had gotten nervous about it.
Her nervous face looked cute too. But speaking of that much, Jason hadn’t considered anything about
future children, and he couldn’t help but start fantasizing about it.
If they managed to have a smart, cute daughter, he was actually looking forward to it.
If they got married, then he was definitely having a daughter.
As Jason was looking forward to it, the smile on his face grew.
“It’s my fault. I wasn’t thinking when I said those things. Selena, I’m taking Miranda to see Miss Lane.
Rest up for now, and I’ll go see you tomorrow.”
Selena smiled and nodded, and Jason took Miranda’s hand, heading out of the bedroom.
As they almost went out the threshold, Miranda turned around and shot an apologetic grin at Selena.
She hadn’t officially apologized yet, but the time wasn’t quite right.
She’d hurt an innocent bystander this time, and she had to make up for it.
The two headed towards Georgia’s room.
As for Georgia’s side, she’d woken for a while now.
Even Annie and Wesley were in here room talking to her.
“Does your head hurt right now, Mommy? Daddy says you have a mild concussion and a few stitches.
It sounds scary.”
Annie asked her mother lovingly, while Georgia smiled and shook her head.
“It doesn’t hurt now. The wound isn’t serious. I’ll probably be able to leave the hospital after staying
here a few days. Your Auntie Elsie said that you two yed all afternoon in the yground. Was it
fun?”
“It wasn’t that fun, Mommy. Auntie Elsie and Uncle Wilson bought up the ce and let us y in there,
but the first time was more fun.
“And going out to y with you and Daddy and Wesley was the most fun. Without you here, all the
games weren’t as fun. Wesley and I yed and it was just all right. Go y with me and Wesley next
time. I still want to y with Daddy and Mommy.”
“Of course.”
Georgia smiled and stroked her daughter’s hair. Her head of hair was soft and smooth, like Robert’s
hair.
Georgia herself, though, had rougher, thicker hair that had never run smooth, and needed care at the
hairdresser’s.
Mother and daughter exchanged some intimate words, and Wesley, who’d been looking on
concernedly, couldn’t help but chime in.
“Auntie Georgia, you have to live to be a hundred years old and be super healthy.”
