Chapter 869 Her Personality Is Too Weak
Savannah nodded as both of the women exchanged glances and smiled at each other. On the other hand, Jason had been pacing back and forth in the living hall. He was worried that Selena wouldn’t be able to convince Savannah. The moment Selena walked down the stairs, Jason hurried over to her. “How did it go, Selena?”
Selena gave him a cheeky wink. “I guess it worked. You should ask her yourself, Jason. I’ll be leaving now.” “Okay.” After Jason walked Selena out, he rushed upstairs to find Savannah zoning out in her seat on the bed. She quickly put on a smile when she saw that Jason had entered the room. “When are we going home?”
A wide grin formed on Jason’s face upon her mention of going home. “We can go home whenever you’re ready.” “Let me pack my stuff. We can head home after that,” she offered.
“Sure. Anything you say,” he replied. Savannah hastily packed her belongings before Jason brought her back to meet the Murray Family.
Savannah entered the castle-like home with her eyes wide and her jaw hanging loose. She was too dumbfounded to say anything for a while. The entire home looked like something that she thought only existed in fairy tales. “Are we… staying here, Jason? Is this your house?”
Jason nodded quietly. He had told Savannah about the house so that she would be mentally prepared for the huge place, but she was still shocked by how majestic the building looked. I can’t believe my own luck! Savannah thought.
Jason held onto Savannah’s hand and led her into the house. Both Jocelyn and Reuben were waiting for them inside the house. Savannah was an adorable sight—she looked like a frightened bunny seeking shelter by standing close to Jason.
Jocelyn had never been particularly fond of wealthy women, and she was pleased to see how adorable Savannah seemed. Naturally, Reuben didn’t have any comments on the new girl. “Alright. You should bring Savannah around the house since the both of you just got here. I’ve prepared the rooms for you,” Jocelyn said.
“Okay. I’ll bring Savannah around, and I’ll see you guys in a while,” Jason said to his parents and Selena. Both he and Savannah walked hand-in-hand up the stairs after that.
Meanwhile, Jocelyn let out a loud sigh just as Selena sat down in the living room. “What is it, Aunt Jocelyn? Is it because you don’t like Savannah?”
Jocelyn shook her head. “The girl is pretty and soft-spoken. I think she’s a good fit for Jason. But…” Jocelyn shook her head. “Tell me what it is, Aunt Jocelyn. There isn’t anyone else here,” Selena whispered.
Reuben chirped in then. “Her personality is too weak. I’m afraid she won’t have enough influential power over the family.”
Jocelyn nodded in agreement with his words. “You’re the woman of the house as well, Selena. You should understand how hard it is for a woman to manage a family, especially when we have such a large business and family.
We might not expect her to help out in the company, but she’ll eventually have to manage the family. She looks too weak to do that, and her background… I’m afraid she won’t even be able to exert control over our maids. I’m worried that things might turn into a mess at home—Jason will have to handle all of that then.
He’ll have a lot to deal with.” Although Jocelyn wasn’t against her son marrying a woman he fancied, her son was also her priority. She was concerned that her son would be completely worn out if he had to deal with both the company and family matters in the future.
Selena froze upon hearing Jocelyn’s words. She hadn’t considered all of that previously. “Forget it. I’ll have to train her since she’s the one Jason likes. I’m still healthy for now, so we won’t need her to do anything just yet,” Jocelyn uttered.
Reuben nodded quietly. He completely agreed with his wife’s words—he understood the importance of having a strong woman within the family. Jocelyn, for example, was an extremely capable woman who managed to resolve many of the problems that the family encountered.
He was, therefore, able to focus on the company. The couple played their roles perfectly—the man running the business and the woman handling the family.
