“It doesn’t matter, because I know she will eventually like me.” As he spoke, there was a glint of determination in his eyes.
Jasper was stunned. The way this person spoke made it seem like he was telling the truth, and that he truly believed it.
“You…are really confident,” she chuckled.
“Is it bad to be confident?” He asked in return.
She was speechless and after a while, she said, “I won’t date someone just because of the terms of a deal. I will only date someone I like.”
Upon hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, “Then wait until you like me, and we can date.”
Her face turned red instantly, “What makes you so sure that I will like you?”
“Do you believe in destiny?” he asked.
“What?”
“When I first laid eyes on you, I knew we were meant to be,” he replied with conviction.
Yes, they were meant to be, destined to have a fateful bond! He thought to himself silently.
When Jasper returned to the dorm room, he saw the other three roommates staring at her.
“What’s going on?” she asked, confused.
“Jasper, why aren’t you saying anything about being with Roger?” Meave asked.
Horea quickly added, “Are you trying to keep it a secret?”
Nina also chimed in, “Although I still think William is better, it’s understandable that childhood sweethearts are often no match for a new handsome guy!”
Jasper felt overwhelmed and asked, “What are you all talking about?”
“On the school forum, there are pictures of you and Roger together. You’re not planning on denying it, are you?” Meave soid, as she pulled up the forum post for Jasper to see.
In the photo, the distance between the two faces is very close, and Roger’s hand is even wrapped around her waist. The two of them look so intimate that it’s almost suggestive.
“Last time, your photo with Roger was taken and posted online. You claimed it was a mistake, but this time, it can’t be a mistake again, right?” said Horea.
The other two people also nodded in agreement with the location.
The other two people also nodded in agreement with the location.
Jasper frowned and looked at the post. It was anonymously posted by someone else. Besides the photo, the photographer also stated that it was taken unintentionally. Although due to the distance, the photographer couldn’t hear what the two people were saying, it was clear from their expressions and body language that they had a close relationship. When the girl was hugged by the boy, her expression was shy and timid, indicating that she liked him a lot.
These words left Jasper speechless.
Come on, where was the shyness and timidity? And how could it be so obvious that she liked the boy?
“I was just meeting Roger today to discuss something, it’s not like what the post said,” Jasper said.
“Why was Roger holding onto your waist?” Meave asked.
“It was just an accident,” Jasper replied. “Anyway, there’s really nothing going on between us!”
“Oh…” the three roommates responded in unison, but their expressions told a different story.
Just then, Jasper’s phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was William calling.
“Where are you right now?” William asked.
“I’m in the dorm room,” she replied.
“I’m downstairs in your dorm right now, can you come down?”
he said.
“Huh?” Jasper was confused for a moment, then quickly walked over to the window and looked down.
She saw the familiar figure standing downstairs, looking up at her window.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Jasper’s heart skipped a beat and she instinctively pulled her head back.
The other people in the dormitory noticed and poked their heads out to look outside. After a moment, they asked, “Is Mr. Barlow here to see you?”
“If you really have nothing with Roger, then just quickly clarify it with Mr. Barlow.”
“Yeah, otherwise he probably won’t be able to sleep well tonight.”
Jasper ignored his roommates’ words and hurriedly ran down the stairs.
As soon as she stepped out of the dormitory building, she saw many people coming in and out of the dormitory. Their eyes would glance towards William’s direction. And when she walked up to him, even more eyes turned towards the two of them.
“How did you come here?” she asked, with a hint of embarrassment.
“I’m going back to Deer Capital tomorrow. My grandfather is sick and in the hospital, so I need to go see him,” William replied.
“What? Is your grandfather okay? Is it serious?” Jasper asked, surprised.
Jasper had always had a good impression of Grandpa Barlow and really liked the kind old man.
Whenever she went to Deer Capital before, she usually stayed with the Barlow family, and Grandpa
Barlow doted on her.
“There’s no big problem. As people get older, they tend to get sick more easily and need to stay in the hospital for a few days,” said William.
“I’ll go to Deer Capital with you,” Jasper said.
“No need. I’ll go alone. You can convey your concern to Grandpa Barlow,” William replied.
“I want to go!” Jasper insisted. “I want to see Grandpa Barlow. Besides, it’s Saturday tomorrow. I’ll stay in Deer Capital on Saturday and Sunday and come back on Monday. It won’t affect my studies.”
William nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll book another plane ticket. The flight is at 9 o’clock tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Jasper responded.
“Then you should go back now and have a good rest tonight,”
said William.
Jasper paused and blinked his eyes.
Like this?!
“Do you…have anything else to say?” she asked.
“Anything else?” he looked at her. “What do you mean?”
She bit her lip with her teeth. The post on the school forum had already become popular. He couldn’t possibly not know about it.
Especially since he had told her that he liked her and would wait for her to give him an answer after considering it carefully. This post made her even more uneasy, afraid that he might misunderstand something.
Taking a deep breath, Jasper said directly, “It’s about today. I went to apologize to Roger, but someone accidentally took a picture of me and posted it on the school forum. These pictures can easily cause misunderstandings. I…I’m afraid you might misunderstand…”
She finally finished saying what she wanted to say. After speaking, she nervously looked at him, waiting for his reaction.
But he just smiled gently and said, “I know, I’ve seen that post.”
She was shocked and asked, “You’ve seen it?”
“Yes, I have. So you can rest assured that I won’t misunderstand anything,” he replied.
She was stunned for a moment before asking, “Don’t you think that, like the post said, there’s something going on between me and Roger?”
“I don’t think so,” he said firmly. Even though he had a moment of jealousy when he saw the photo in that post, he quickly calmed down. “With your personality, if you really wanted to be with Roger, you would have told me about it. So since you didn’t, it must be a misunderstanding.”
His simple words made all her worries disappear.
She looked at him in a daze. He was definitely the person who understood her the most in the world.
“Are you still waiting for my answer?” she asked.
“Yes, but you can take your time to think it over. No need to rush,” he said. He had the patience to wait until she was ready to answer.
“Yes, but you can take your time to carefully consider it. No need to rush to answer me,” he said. He had the patience to wait until she had thought it through before answering him!
Jasper smiled, “Okay, I will think it through!”
Once she had thought through her feelings, she would give him an answer.
Because he was flying to Deer Capital tomorrow, Jasper went home in the evening to pack his luggage and prepare a gift for visiting Grandpa Barlow.
“Do you really like that Roger?” A voice suddenly came from behind Jasper as she was packing her luggage.
She almost choked on her own saliva and turned around to see a handsome face in front of her.
It was her older brother, Mick.
Among the triplets, Mick looked the most like their father, but with a colder demeanor. Their father had a more charming vibe.
Of course, this could also be due to the fact that Mick didn’t talk much most of the time.
“Big brother, how do you know Roger?” Jasper exclaimed in surprise.
“You and him both posted on your school forum twice, I know now, it’s already late,” Mick said, “Do you like him?”
She shook her head innocently.
“Then how did you end up in those photos with him?” he asked.
Jasper pursed her lips and didn’t hide anything from Mick. She directly explained how she had suspected Roger to be Lawrence, approached him, and obtained a DNA sample.
“So, he’s not Lawrence?” Mick asked.
“No, he’s not,” Jasper replied. “I was the one who had mistaken him for Lawrence all along.”
“What if the DNA test results show that he is Lawrence? Between him and William, who would you choose?” Mick suddenly asked.
