When Nancy and Mick returned to the Reed family, Mason’s family, Jasper, and William were all there.
They had a meal together and chatted about daily life.
Although Nancy and Mick were newlyweds, they had lived in the Reed family mansion for several months and had become familiar with everyone. Therefore, the conversation was casual.
As they chatted, they brought up Chandler and Tina’s topic.
“Speaking of which, Chandler has to wait for Tina to graduate before they can get married. Tina is only a sophomore now, so Chandler has to wait for at least two or three more years. He’ll be 30 by then,”
Jasper said. “I thought my brother would get married later than Chandler. Poor Chandler, but who asked Tina to be so young.”
During Nancy’s hospitalization, the Stephenson family of three also came to visit her, so Nancy had a good impression of Tina.
“The tall man standing next to Tina on the wedding day was Chandler, right?” Nancy recalled.
After all, on the day of the wedding banquet, she met too many people, so she was afraid of confusing them.
“Yes, it’s that tall one with a slightly feminine appearance, but very beautiful!” Jasper enthusiastically added, “Tina has boasted about Chandler’s looks countless times!”
“She’s quite beautiful,” Nancy recalled and nodded in agreement.
A man using the word “beautiful” to describe someone’s appearance without sounding awkward shows that Chandler’s looks are indeed pleasing to the eye.
“Right, Tina used to encourage Chandler to participate in some idol talent shows, hoping he could make his debut,” Jasper joked.
Thinking back to that time, Jasper found it amusing that Chandler often had a black face.
At that time, Tina was like a chanting machine. Whenever she saw Chandler, she would talk about how he had the potential to become an idol star. She even rallied the people around her to persuade
Chandler to participate in a talent show.
This made Chandler extremely frustrated.
However, during that time, Chandler managed to control his temper towards Tina, which Jasper found to be quite rare.
As a child of the Reed family, Jasper was always protected by her family, but she was not naive and ignorant of everything.
Especially after experiencing what happened with Lawrence, she understood the dark side of human nature even more.
As her mother said, when judging people, one should not only look at the surface, as many people hide another side of themselves.
Sometimes, the closer a person is to you, the more likely they are to hide another side of themselves from you.
“Does Daddy also hide another side of himself from you?” Jasper remembered asking this question at the time.
“Yes, he does. Although I know, I don’t mind because I know he does it out of love for me. He doesn’t want me to see the side of him that might scare me or make me uncomfortable. Besides, it doesn’t affect my love for him.” Her mother replied in this way.
Although Jasper had never really seen Chandler’s other side, as an heir of the Crypt family, which had trained him, Chandler was definitely not just as elegant, stable, reasonable, and restrained as he appeared in front of Tina.
“Did he participate in the talent show later?” Nancy asked curiously.
“No.” Jasper said regretfully, “It’s a pity. I really wanted to see Chandler participate in the talent show at that time.”
“Really? You really wanted to see it?” William’s voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of jealousy.
Jasper shuddered and quickly smiled awkwardly, “Um…I just said I wanted to see him perform back then. And, don’t you think it would be interesting if Chandler could sing and dance on stage like a boy band?”
“It seems like you really want to see him debut. How about I talk to him when I meet him next time?”
William suggested.
No, please don’t!
Jasper lamented in her heart. If Chandler found out, who knows if he would secretly make things difficult for her in the future!
“I was just thinking out loud. Now, I don’t want to see it anymore. Even if I did, I would be more interested in seeing how you would do if you debuted! Look at you, so handsome. If you really debuted, you would probably have a bunch of young girls fawning over you. It’s a good thing you didn’t debut, or else I would have to compete with a bunch of girls for you!”
Jasper flattered.
Her words clearly pleased William.
“Well, that’s great. I’ll dance for you someday, so you don’t have to think about it anymore,” William said.
Jasper widened her eyes in surprise, “You’ll really dance?”
“Is there a reason for me to lic? It’s not that difficult,” William said.
Jasper’s eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of anticipati appeared in them.
Nancy looked at the scene in front of her and felt that Willia really doted on Jasper!
Although it’s not difficult to sing and dance like a boy band, William should still need to practice if he wants to do it.
Moreover, for some men, they may not be willing to sacrifice their dignity to do these things just to please a woman!
But William was willing to do it.
Afterward, when Mick and Nancy were alone, Mick asked, “Are you envious of Jasper?”
“What?” Nancy was confused.
“When William said he wanted to dance with Jasper, you had an envious expression on your face. Do you want to see it too?”
Mick asked.
Was she really envious at that time? Nancy thought to herself, “No, I just thought the childhood sweethearts feeling betwe Jasper and William was really nice and warm. I would like daughter to have a childhood sweetheart like that in the futu
“Then find one for her,” Mick smiled and said, “If Sophia wan a childhood sweetheart in the future, she will definitely have one.”
“Are you so sure?” Nancy was curious about Mick’s confidence.
“There are many people who want to connect with the Reed family. In the future, when we take Sophia to attend some events, there will be many boys of similar age around her,” Mick said, “But which ones are sincere and which ones are fake, she will have to discern for herself.”
Nancy immediately understood that with the background of the Reed family, there would be many people trying to get close to their daughter in the future. Naturally, those boys of similar age would use this opportunity to get closer to her.
Among them, there would be many people with ulterior motives.
“Have you experienced all of this before?” Nancy couldn’t help but ask.
Mick smiled faintly, “Just get used to it. After all, these things are always unavoidable.”
Although he said it lightly, Nancy felt a kind of indescribable heaviness in her heart.
Considering his status and position, there must have been many people who deliberately approached him when he was young, wanting to use him. He may have even been deceived and used.
So when she used him and deceived him in the past, was that why he hated her so much?
“I’m sorry,” Nancy murmured.
“What do you have to apologize for?” Mick asked.
“I also…”
Before she could finish her sentence, his fingertips pressed against her lips. “Between us, there’s no need for apologies.”
“I hope Sophia will meet someone who truly loves her in the future,” Nancy murmured.
“She definitely will. She’s our daughter, and she’ll surely meet someone who truly loves her,” Mick said.
The two embraced each other, while their little baby slept. soundly in the crib next to them.
When Tina handed Eugenia Kit’s autograph, Eugenia screamed as if she had received a precious treasure. She stuck the autograph tightly to her chest and said with a fanatical expression, “It’s great!
Sister finally got Kit’s autograph! I feel like I can die without regrets now.”
“Do you really have no regrets?” Tina looked at her friend.
“Uh, maybe… there’s still a little regret. I still want to go to Kit’s concert and maybe shake his hand. Of course, if he could give me a hug or something, then I would probably have no regrets,” Eugenia thought for a moment and said.
“You have a lot of thoughts,” Tina teased.
“Hehe, people need to think more to live with more motivation. Unlike you, who has such a handsome fiancé,” Eugenia said. “But speaking of which, when you asked Kit for his autograph, did your guy get jealous?”
“Pfft, why would he be jealous? Chandler is not that petty,” Tina said, but she couldn’t help but think of what Chandler had said to her later that day –
“No matter how many people you’re interested in, the one you’ll truly fall in love with can only be me.”
So, when she wants to chase after stars or something, he will accompany her. Even if she cheers for some male star, buys his photo album, or joins his fan club, he doesn’t say anything.
Is it because it hasn’t crossed his bottom line yet?
Because he knows that she only appreciates those stars or beauties, and hasn’t really fallen in love with them?
“What are you thinking about?” Eugenia suddenly asked her friend who was lost in thought.
“I’m thinking about whether I really love Chandler,” Tina muttered.
Eugenia’s eyes widened, “Don’t tell me you don’t love him. You’ve been engaged for so many years and are going to get married as soon as you graduate!”
“It’s not that I don’t love him, but I don’t know what it means to love someone,” Tina said. Her engagement to Chandler was arranged since she was born, so it was just a matter of course.
It was so natural that she didn’t have any rebellious thoughts to resist.
Even when she was teased by other children when she was young, saying that her marriage was arranged by her family, she didn’t feel anything wrong with it.
After all, she really liked Chandler’s company.
“Aren’t you someone who loves people with good looks? Don’t you love Chandler’s appearance?”
Eugenia asked.
“You’re also very beautiful, and I like you too. But does that mean I love you?” Tina asked back.
“Stop it!” Eugenia shuddered. She wasn’t ready to go down that road yet!
Besides, if Tina really “loved” her, she didn’t know if Chandler would just bury her on a dark and stormy night.
“Actually, it’s simple to know whether you really love Chandler or not. You just need to see how intimate you can get with him,” Eugenia thought for a moment and said.
Can we be more intimate?
