Selena looked flustered, and Jason quickly defended her. “What do you mean by Selena’s best friend? You make it sound like Selena asked her friend to hit you.”
“Is that true?”
“Impossible! I know Selena. She’s kind and gentle, with no hidden motives. How could she ask her friend to crash into your car?”
Selena’s eyes filled with tears. “Mr. Miller, thank you for trusting me. Otherwise, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I couldn’t clear my name.”
“Don’t be afraid. Some people just like to bite the dog!”
“Jason, are you calling me a dog?”
“I just want you to see that Selena helped you today! You should thank her, not slander her!”
“Hurry and apologize to her. I was planning a wedding for you, but if you don’t apologize, there won’t be one!”
I scoffed. “If you won’t do it, someone else will. Right, husband?”
Charles playfully slapped my forehead. I kissed his head gently. “Of course.”
Jason blinked, shocked. “What did you call him?”
“Husband. He’s my husband—legally.”
“Thank you for not marrying me. I’m Mrs. Nolan now.”
