Chapter 593 What Are the Chances?

"We'll make a move now, Mr. Murray. See you around," Selena said politely. Jason hastily responded to her before she left. "I haven't managed to visit you since I arrived in Astoria. When will you and Mr. Fowler be free?"

Pierre looked like he was about to say something, but Selena hastily interrupted him with her words. "You can come anytime you're free, Mr. Murray." Then, she slipped her hand into Pierre's. "We'll be leaving now. Our doors are open for you whenever you wish to visit us," Selena uttered before she dragged Pierre away. On the other hand, Jason zoned out for a moment as he watched Selena's figure disappearing into the distance.

Pierre raised his voice the moment they got into the car. "Since when did he arrive in Astoria? Based on the conversation I heard earlier, it sounds like you guys have already met each other, huh?"

Selena flashed him an awkward smile. "He's no big deal, anyway. I didn't think it was necessary to tell you about it after I met him."

"You're getting way too bold nowadays, Selena!" he growled as he started the engine.

"I'm not! It was just a coincidence that I bumped into him. How would I have known that he was in Astoria?" She was just as surprised by the situation. What are the chances of me crossing paths with Jason multiple times?

"A coincidence? I bet he did it on purpose. He just gave you some excuse about his aunt being buried here. He must have stalked you and found your schedule. He's only here because he was following you around intentionally!" Pierre didn't believe in coincidences, fate, or anything like that! He was sure that it was all arranged!

"No way..." Selena couldn't bring herself to picture Jason as a stalker. He's so elegant and charming. How could he be that sort of guy?

"Why not? How else can you explain the fact that you just bumped into him at the headquarters of a cemetery?" Pierre hissed.

She scratched her head puzzledly. I guess something seems rather odd here. The Murray Family shifted all of their graves over to Yucaria ever since Jerry's generation moved there. How could Jason have an aunt who's still buried over here? In that case, Pierre's suspicions might be true. Did Jason intentionally create a chance for us to bump into one another just because he's interested in me? That would be terrible!

"Also, I can't believe you agreed when he asked to visit us! Are you actually planning to let him into our house?" Pierre wasn't done with his lecture.

"I was just trying to be polite. It's not like he's actually going to come, right?" Selena then realized something after she finished her words. If Pierre's suspicions are right, then it's highly possible for Jason to pay us a visit... Gosh, I'm getting a headache just thinking about this!

Once Jason made the necessary inquiries about shifting graves, he then returned to the villa where the rest of the Murrays were staying. He was the one who purchased the place, and he had arranged for the entire house to be tidied and prepared before their whole family arrived. He even had the furniture and decorations set up in accordance with Jerry and Lindsay's tastes and preferences.

By the time he returned to the house, the family had already forgotten the sorrows of their grave visit that morning. They were all chatting and hanging around in the living hall. Meanwhile, Linda continued to stick around by Lindsay's side like a helpless little bunny.

"It has really been a long while since we last came here. I barely recognized the place when I looked out of the car windows earlier. So many things have changed in Digton City," Lindsay uttered as she gently patted Linda's hand.

"That's true. Digton City's a well-established, international city now. I can't believe it was nothing but a regular city when we first left this place." Jerry was just as shocked to see how much the place had changed. Although he hadn't visited the city throughout the years, he had still paid attention to its developments on the news. He caught a few glimpses of Digton City on the TV a while back, but the place looked much grander than it did on TV.

"It seems like the two of you are missing your hometown, huh?" Jocelyn teased Jerry and Lindsay playfully.

"Yeah. You guys haven't been back in a while. I'm sure some of your old acquaintances are still around here. Do you want to go around and take a look?" Reuben beamed as he looked at his parents.
