Pierre only responded with a haughty look and said, “Nope, I’m not.” As he originally saw Jason as his love rival, he now felt awkward to learn that he was, in fact, his cousin-in-law. Therefore, that no longer put him in any position to interfere with whatever Selena wanted to do with Jason. Because of that, he didn’t know how to face Jason. Ugh! It’s going to be awkward if we meet.
“Alright, I’ll take the kids along in that case while you stay home then.” Selena turned around and walked away.
“Wait!” Pierre quickly stood in front of Selena. “It wouldn’t seem appropriate if the whole family shows up without me.”
“So?”
“So that means I’m going with you guys. After all, they’re still my in-laws.”
Selena rolled her eyes at Pierre, knowing what he wasn’t happy about. “That’s right. They’re your in-laws, my family, which means if you dare to bully me…”
Needless to say, Selena’s words didn’t sit well with Pierre. What’s wrong with her? Is she trying to show her backbone now that she thinks the Murray Family has her back? Although Jocelyn never really took Roland and his family seriously due to the way he had treated her, the same could not be said for the Murray Family, which was why Pierre felt especially stressed out. Thus, he quickly changed into a decent suit and put on a necktie before he set out with his family.
On their way there, Selena explained to her children that she would be reunited with her long-lost family, whom she would introduce the kids to.
Upon arrival, Selena saw Jason lying in bed with a rather pale face, thinking he was still recovering after his operation. Meanwhile, Jason was already aware of Selena’s origin as Selena went on and said, “Children, please allow me to introduce my cousin, Jason Murray. You all should call him Uncle Jason, and this is my aunt. So you all should address her as Grandaunt Jocelyn.”
“Uncle James, Grandaunt Jocelyn!” The kids greeted the adults.
Jocelyn walked closer and held Selena’s hands. “It’s good to see you back with us. I didn’t know you already had a family.”
For some reason, Selena felt estranged about how it felt to interact with her long-lost family. But she quickly dismissed the thought.
