"But, Auntie, it seems like Jas doesn’t feel that way about ," Hayley Cole pouted with discomfort.
"Auntie, I really like Jas, but in his heart, there’s only that Ophelia Wilson."
Thinking about this made Hayley Cole feel uneasy.
"Actually, Jas does have feelings for you, otherwise he wouldn’t let you stay at ho. When have you ever seen him get so close to anyone?" Charlotte Reed’s words put Hayley Cole at ease, but she still had her concerns.
"But Auntie, when will Jas forget about that Ophelia Wilson?"
"Actually, Jas just can’t get over that hurdle in his heart; he only needs a little push," Charlotte Reed thought for a mont and said, "But... I think we should talk about this later."
"No, Auntie, why talk about it later?" Hayley Cole asked anxiously.
"With how Jas is right now, I’ll be honest, both your uncle and I are worried and anxious, afraid that he’s too set in his ways," Charlotte Reed said, "We also hope Jas can move past this soon."
"It’s unlikely that Jas will slowly fall in love with you. Of course, if you can wait, maybe in three or five years, he might co around."
"What? Three or five years?" Hayley Cole almost freaked out upon hearing this, "That’s way too long, isn’t it?"
"There’s no other way; you know what kind of person Jas is—deeply emotional and loyal," Charlotte Reed’s explanation gained Hayley Cole’s approval, "It’s precisely because Jas is so good that I like him."
"So, don’t rush things," Charlotte Reed said with a smile.
"Then Auntie, you ntioned pushing Jas a bit—what’s that thod?" Hayley Cole urgently asked, wanting to stay in Jas’s ho and not return to the Cole Family.
"Hmm..." Charlotte Reed hesitated and didn’t say anything.
Her silence drove Hayley Cole crazy with urgency: "Auntie, please tell !"
"You and Jas should just get married. Once it’s a done deal, with Jas’s sense of responsibility, he’ll definitely treat you well and quickly get over Ophelia Wilson," Charlotte Reed finished speaking, leaving Hayley Cole stunned, lost in thought.
"Don’t mind , I’m just suggesting," Charlotte Reed said with a smile, "You can live here steadily, but Jas is right— you should go see your mom."
"No matter what, the bond between mother and daughter can’t be broken; she’ll still be worried about you."
Charlotte Reed’s words made Hayley Cole feel terribly uncomfortable: "She doesn’t think about at all! She has a husband, a son, and a daughter now; what am I to her?"
The more Hayley Cole spoke, the angrier she got: "Auntie, let’s do what you said. I want to marry Jas!"
"Hayley, don’t talk nonsense. I was just speaking casually. Marriage is a big deal; you can’t just make such decisions lightly—it affects your entire life, you hear?" Charlotte Reed was considering everything for Hayley Cole, which deeply moved her.
"Auntie, I want to marry Jas and beco part of your family!" Hayley Cole felt that only here could she feel the warmth of a family, without living in fear and repression.
"Hayley, you should think it over more. This..." Charlotte Reed only got halfway through her sentence before Hayley Cole interrupted, "Auntie, I’ve made up my mind. I want to marry Jas; I love Jas, and I love you and Uncle!"
