"Jas likes Ophelia Wilson that much?" Hayley Cole felt a bit uneasy whenever Ophelia Wilson was ntioned.
Could such a good person like Jas really be a match for Ophelia Wilson?
"Yes." Charlotte Reed nodded with a smile, "Jas has always been stubbornly loyal. Once he chooses soone, he won’t change his mind. As his mother, I just have to let him be."
Hayley Cole was moved and asked, "Auntie, you don’t seem to like Ophelia Wilson very much, do you?"
"It’s not that I don’t like her." Charlotte Reed shook her head with difficulty and said, "It’s just that Ophelia Wilson’s identity is sowhat awkward. You must know the situation with Jas and in the Seymour Family, and moreover, Ophelia Wilson and Sophie Wilson are sisters. Sophie Wilson is Charles Seymour’s fiancée, and this... sigh..."
"But since Jas is determined about Ophelia, even if he’s plotted against because of this in the future, he would probably just accept it." Charlotte Reed subtly increased the goodwill for Jas.
The tactic of advancing by retreating was sothing the Reed mother and son were skilled at playing.
Even Ethan Seymour was tricked by them for decades, let alone the still rebellious Hayley Cole.
Anyway, after hearing Charlotte Reed’s words, Hayley Cole was very touched: "Jas is just too genuine, that’s why others take advantage of him."
Charlotte Reed let out a bitter smile, deeply resigned in her eyes, and sighed: "Miss Cole, you don’t understand. My identity back then upset Charles; he always felt like I ruined his family. And Jas... he also felt like he took his father away."
"In a reconstituted family, it’s easy for those who co later to be rejected by the children of the original family. All these years I’ve been cautious, and Jas too, always avoiding when he can... Ugh, why am I telling you all this annoying stuff?" Charlotte Reed shook her head thoughtfully, seemingly very regretful.
"Miss Cole, just pretend you didn’t hear anything." Charlotte Reed said, standing up, "I’ll get Miss Cole so water."
With that, Charlotte Reed went to find a waiter.
Hayley Cole’s gaze remained on Charlotte Reed, watching her approach the waiter and speak politely, with a gentle smile on her face throughout.
Could such a gentle person really be living so miserably in the Seymour family?
Just like her, after all, outsiders in reconstituted families always live so humbly.
Hayley Cole’s hand placed on her lap slowly tightened, and at that mont, she saw herself overlapping with Jas Reed, thinking, "Jas (she) has done so much, what more could the Seymour (Cole) family want?"
Charlotte Reed ca back with a smile, sat down, and said, "I just ordered so freshly squeezed juice. Drinking more of this is good for a girl’s health and skin."
"If you want to drink sothing else, just let know."
Despite not being welcod herself, Charlotte Reed cared for her so much, which greatly moved Hayley Cole.
However... Hayley Cole’s gaze fell on Jas Reed, watching him laugh and talk with Ophelia Wilson and other guests, her heart felt as if small ants were gnawing at it, a fine and dense pain.
Such a good man... How could Ophelia Wilson, an actress, be worthy of him?
Jas Reed acted as if nothing had happened, smiling while chatting with the directors of the Seymour Corporation, while Ophelia Wilson was talking to the other directors’ wives nearby.
