“We don’t have much of a relationship, just acquaintances from before.” Roger said indifferently.
“Acquaintances from before? Well, you’re both from the overseas elite Elliott family, so it’s normal to know Miss. Reed. But it’s a shame, this princess already has a boyfriend, and the Barlow family that
William is from is not ordinary in Deer Capital!”
When this was said, the beautiful girl next to Roger showed a suspicious expression, “She already has a boyfriend, what’s the shame?”
“Why isn’t it a shame? Last time Roger even got Miss. Reed to dump William and be with him. If this
Grand Princess didn’t have a boyfriend, who knows, she might agree, you never know!” One of the guys said.
The girl’s face turned slightly unpleasant upon hearing this, and the boy seemed to realize he had said something wrong and stopped talking.
The girl turned to Roger and asked, “Do you want to date Miss.
Reed?”
“I wouldn’t mind giving it a try,” Roger replied with a slight smile.
The girl was clearly taken aback by Roger’s frank answer and felt embarrassed. “If you want to date other women, why did you bring me here to play?” she asked.
“You asked me to bring you along, didn’t you?” Roger replied casually.
“What do you take me for? A spare tire?” the girl asked, feeling even more embarrassed.
“You’re not a spare tire,” Roger said calmly.
The girl’s face brightened, but the next thing he said made her blush with anger. “I never intended to find a spare tire. Between us, it’s just a casual fling,” he said.
The girl was furious and raised her hand to slap Roger’s face.
But in the next moment, her hand was intercepted by him in mid-air. His once delicate eyes were now icy cold as he stared at her. “You don’t have the right to slap me!” he said.
The girl felt a chill run down her spine and was suddenly filled with terror.
After leaving the bar, Jasper and William walked out. William asked, “What did Roger ask you to do carlier?”
“It’s an invitation to Jasmine’s birthday party,” Jasper replied. “He wants to come to the party too.”
Upon hearing this, William seemed to be pondering something. “So, are you planning to forgive him?”
“Hmm,” she nodded. “If he’s willing to let go of his hatred, then that would be the best outcome.”
“But what if he can’t let go?” William asked. “Aren’t you afraid he might do something at Jasmine’s birthday party?”
After a moment of silence, Jasper spoke up. “There will be Reed family bodyguards and surveillance at the party. If he tries anything, he’ll be caught. Besides…”
“I’ll walk you back to your dorm,” William said.
“Wait,” she said.
“What is it?”
Before he could finish his sentence, she wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest. “William, can I hold you like this for a while?”
He looked down at the person in his arms. How could he refuse?
“Sure,” he replied, lifting his hands to hold her shoulders and pulling her closer.
His warmth and breath eased her previously suppressed emotions.
“Do you think feelings can change quickly? Can you like one person during the day and another at night?” Jasper asked.
“If that’s the case, then it’s not real feelings or love,” William replied. “If you truly love someone, it becomes ingrained in your bones. You won’t easily fall for someone else. Instead, your love will grow stronger over time.”
A gentle voice, carried by the wind, entered her ears.
Her heart stirred, “Is this the kind of love you have for me?”
“Yes, this is the kind of love I have for you,” William answered with absolute certainty.
“A”Will you change in the future? Will you fall in love with someone else?” She had never thought about this question bet before, but tonight, watching Lawrence with another woman, sheshe couldn’t help but think about it.
In In the future, would William fall in love with someone else agaagain?
‘I’I’m not someone who easily falls in love with others. For over a da decade, I have only loved you, and my love for you is growing strostronger. Do you think I could spend so much time falling in lovdove with someone else?” William said.
She ho looked up and met his deep gaze.
In the dardarkness of the night, he looked so har heart flutterttered.
and her
‘What about out you? Will you change? Will you fall in someone else?lse?”His voice echoed in the night wind.
She bit her lip siis slightly, “I think I’m someone who easily likes others, but that kinkind of liking is just friendship or admiration. The person truly ddy dove like a boyfriend, I think, can only be you! So, wanting togtoibe in a relationship with you is not just a momentary impuiseilse.”
It’s the accumulation of emotions over the years.
William smiled, his already beautiful face becoming even more radiant!
“So in the future, it can only be me!” he said, “You can like many people, but the person you truly love like a man, can only be me. No matter what happens in the future, it will only be me, okay?”
His low voice sounded like a plea.
Jasper looked directly into his gentle and affectionate eyes and said without hesitation – “Okay!”
Two days later, Jasper held the invitation to the birthday banquet and planned to give it to Roger.
However, as she walked towards the chemistry building, she suddenly saw a familiar figure passing through the middle of the tree-lined path.
It was…Roger! And Lawrence too!
But at this moment, he was standing with another girl, and they were…kissing!
For a moment, Jasper was stunned, just staring at the scene in front of her, until Roger, who was kissing the girl, suddenly raised his eyes. His eyes looked straight at her.
It was only then that she seemed to wake up suddenly and instinctively took two steps back. “I’m…I’m sorry!”
Her apology startled the girl who was still immersed in the kiss. She suddenly turned around and looked at Jasper, her face full of shyness and embarrassment.
When Jasper saw the girl’s face, she was surprised. This girl was not one of the two she had seen before, but a completely unfamiliar face.
“What? Since you know you shouldn’t disturb us, do you still plan to keep watching?” Roger looked at Jasper provocatively.
“You and her…” Jasper stammered.
“Can’t you see what we’re doing? Or do you want to watch it again?” Roger said, lowering his head and holding the girl’s chin with one hand, making her look up.
Although the girl’s face was full of shyness and her cheeks were red, she did not refuse Roger’s actions.
Roger kissed the girl’s lips again, but his eyes were looking at Jasper. His burning gaze almost froze her in place.
Jasper stood there in shock and disbelief. He was kissing this girl, but she felt like he was treating her like a tool, not a person. Even in this kiss, it seemed like there was no emotion involved.
After an unknown amount of time, the kiss finally ended and the girl lowered her head, seeming even more shy.
“Do you like what you saw? Or do you plan on continuing to watch?” Roger’s voice broke the silence.
“I…I came to find you and give you an invitation,” Jasper finally stated his purpose for coming today.
As she spoke, she rummaged through her bag and pulled out the invitation, handing it over to him.
Roger glanced at it, then turned to the girl next to him and said, “You can go back now. I’ll find you later.”
“Okay,” the girl replied softly before quickly leaving.
Roger took a step forward and approached Jasper, but instead of taking the invitation, he looked at
Jasper and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Jasper was confused. “What do you mean?”
“Like I’ve done something unforgivable,” he replied.
“Maybe…it’s because I didn’t expect to see you in that kind of situation,” she explained.
“What’s wrong with that kind of situation? We’re not in elementary school anymore. We’re all adults, and even if we were to have sex, it’s not a big deal. Besides, it was just a kiss,” he said casually.
She stared at him, as if to him, kissing was just a casual thing, and even having sex was no big deal.
“Do you like that girl from earlier?” she asked.
“Not really,” he answered nonchalantly.
“So what about the girls you went to the bar and the piano room with? Do you like them?” she continued to ask.
“Not really,” he replied.
“If you don’t like them, why are you so intimate with them?” she asked.
“Do I have to like them to do that?” he chuckled. “Since they enjoy playing these games, I’m just indulging them.”
“Games?” she was shocked. “Do you think this is a game?” She understood what those girls’ eyes meant, being a girl herself, at least they had a good impression of him.
Especially the girl he just kissed, the love in her eyes was like it was about to overflow.
“To me, it’s just a game,” he said with a very certain tone.
“Lawrence, this is not right. This kind of thing should only be done with someone you like. If you don’t like those girls, you’re giving them the wrong signals, which will only make them sad and upset. Or do you think it doesn’t matter if you hurt others?”
she glared at him.
The condemning look made him feel a sour feeling in his heart.
“I told you not to call me Lawrence. I am Roger now. I hope Miss. Reed won’t forget this!” Roger said coldly. “Also, do you think only with someone you like can you do this kind of thing? You’re so naive to say that. Miss. Reed is really well-protected, still so naive like a child.”
“Naive?” She was stunned.
“Isn’t it? Only naive people would say that. Those who have truly experienced the cruelty of reality would not think that way,” Roger said, approaching Jasper, and suddenly stroking her cheek with one hand.
