Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 849

“You should try to get in contact with her. Even if she’s a wife and a mother now, at least you’d know if she’s doing well,” Selena commented.

Jason gave her a faint smile. “I did try to look for her at first, but I couldn’t track her down at all. I don’t have a lot of influence in Astoria, and finding someone in a place like that is an extremely troublesome job. Furthermore, I have too many things to deal with here, and I really can’t leave right now. I want to look for her, but I simply don’t have the time and energy to do so now.”

“I can get Pierre to do this. He’d be glad to do it.” Selena was certain that Pierre would willingly hunt the woman down when he found out that Jason actually fancied another woman. Pierre probably wouldn’t give up until he found the woman, but Jason’s response came as a surprise to her. “It’s fine, Selena.”

“What do you mean?” she asked.

“It’s really fine now. I really wanted to find her a few years ago, and I really wanted to know if she was doing well. However, I’ve moved past it now. If I find her, if we meet each other now, all of that would only cause me more troubles,” he explained.

Selena vaguely understood what he meant by that. I guess they’d only suffer more because the both of them can’t be with each other. He might even cause further trouble to the woman. It has been such a long time, and they’re both different people now. Holding on to that lovely memory of the past may be better than tearing it apart with the present-day reality.

“Alright then.” Selena gave him a smile, but she no longer made any comments on that topic. “One way or another, I really don’t like Jane at all. You should call the marriage off if you don’t like her, Jason.”

“You want me to break off the engagement?” He flashed a bitter grin. “Things aren’t as easy as they seem. The Oberlins are not going to agree with it, and both Grandpa and Grandma won’t support the idea either.” Jason had completely disregarded his influence over his own marriage at that point. He had accepted the fact that his family had arranged the marriage and that it was his inescapable fate to go along with it.

“Don’t give up so soon, Jason. How are you so sure that it’s going to be hard to call the marriage off? Do you know who Pierre’s grandfather is?” she asked.

Jason stared at her puzzledly.

“I’m afraid your grandmother isn’t going to be able to hang on for much longer. It was already a miracle that she managed to witness your return and the birth of your child, Selena,” Jerry uttered with a sigh. Lindsay was the only one who knew that she would have probably died a long while ago if it weren’t for the fact that she had one final, unresolved desire to see her grandchild.

“Don’t say that, Grandpa,” Selena said.

He shook his head. “I know her condition, and I know what’s going on in her mind. I’m not sad, Selena. If anything, I feel really comforted. Your grandmother has suffered a lot, and it’s about time we free her from this pain.”

Selena felt tears welling up in her eyes.

“You’re back now, and your baby’s born. All that’s left is Jason’s marriage now. I want to make sure the wedding happens soon so that your grandmother will be able to shut her eyes in peace,” he continued.
