Second Chance At Love

Chapter 518

They were both Alison’s beloved grandsons, whether it was Oliver or Jason. She couldn’t favor one over the other, as they were both dear to her. She had always treated Sophia like her granddaughter and supported her no matter whom she chose. However, Alison worried that the Wilson Group had caused Sophia too much pain in the past, making her wary of the men of the Wilson family. Such a wonderful girl deserved to stay with the family. The capable and responsible Oliver should have stepped in if Jason was too foolish to win back Sophia. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Sophia could see through Alison’s intentions. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure lingering at the door, causing a cold smile to form at the corner of her lips. Trying to use Alison to test her, were they? Unfortunately, his actions had long exhausted any feelings she once had for Jason

“Alison, I will marry a man with whom I share a deep connection. It might be Oliver or perhaps a friend I’ve met in recent years. But you must understand that my relationship with Jason is over. Out of the billions of men in the world, I will never marry him. Her tone was resolute, leaving no room for doubt.

Alison glanced discreetly at the doorway and sighed silently. She thought, If only Jason had known this would happen, why act the way he did in the first place? Losing such a virtuous wife, he deserves to spend the rest of his life alone.

Over the past few years, every time Alison thought about the harm that scoundrel had caused Sophia while she was in a coma, she wished she could have given Jason a good beating. Loving without realizing it had been foolish. Being harsh with Sophia was despicable. Such a foolish and despicable person was unlikely to meet a good end. That was why Alison had chosen to stay abroad rather than return to comfort Jason, letting him suffer in the agony of unfulfilled desire.

“Sweet child, we’ve finally reunited after so long. Let’s not talk about these distressing matters. Get up and tell me about your experiences over the past few years, Alison said, reaching out to pull her up.

Sophia didn’t want Alison to exert too much effort, so she stood up with her help and obediently sat beside her. “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”

Outside, Jason leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, one hand clutching his throbbing heart. Beads of sweat dotted his forehead. Her words, “I will never marry him,” echoed in his ears like a haunting refrain.

In the days before, their intense reconciliation had given him hope, Learning Timothy’s true identity in silence had only strengthened his resolve to win her back. Yet, with just those few casual words, Sophia had plunged him into despair completely. Perhaps he had been too arrogant. The path to win back Sophia was fraught with love, hate, deep emotions, and separations as stark as life and death–a chasm Jason might never cross, even in a lifetime of trying.

While lost in thought, Aaron approached from a distance, lowering his voice to report, “Mr. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Harper were here. They’d like to meet Sophia. What do you think?”

Jason hid the pain in his eyes. Glancing into the ward, he saw Alison chatting happily with Sophia and hesitated to interrupt them. “Tell them Sophia is busy and cannot see them right now. Ask them to return home,” he instructed.

Nathan and Ariana came to visit, presumably to offer an apology. Jason would keep them waiting a few times to wear down Ariana’s pride before considering their request.

Aaron hesitated, his face displaying a look of discomfort. Jason seemed to anticipate what was on his mind and sneered. “If Caleb Harper dies tonight, it will be their own doing.”

Aaron fell silent.

Coughs echoed from the living room in the Viridian Garden. Roger sat on the couch, disappointed, as he looked at Ada across from him. “Ada, are you determined to go down this path? If Jason seeks revenge, you won’t have a good outcome.”

Ada gave him a cold glare, a sarcastic smile curling her lips. “At this p

point, you’re still trying to lecture me as a father? Are you even worthy?”
