“Trust?” He tried hard to suppress the pain in his heart and sneered, “But trust is also the easiest thing to collapse between people. You trust William, do you think William will trust you the same way?”
“Of course!” She said confidently.
“It’s ridiculous!” He said, suddenly exerting force and pressing. her whole body against the door. Her back was tightly against the door.
“What are you trying to do…” Before she could finish her words, she felt a heat on her lips. His lips were already pressed against hers.
What is he doing…kissing her?!
Jasper suddenly widened her eyes and struggled hard, but she couldn’t break free at all.
Just then, someone was turning the doorknob, as if trying to open the door. But Jasper was forced to be pressed on the other side of the door, so the door couldn’t be opened at all.
“What’s wrong?” someone’s voice sounded.
“This door seems to be broken, we can’t open it,” someone replied.
“Huh? Can’t open it? Let me try!”
Immediately, Jasper felt someone twisting the door handle.
At this moment, her struggle suddenly stopped, and her whole body was highly concentrated. If she made any noise now, and the people outside saw her and Lawrence in this state in the dim room, who knows what kind of rumors would spread.
In the past, she wouldn’t have cared too much.
But now, the whole school knows that she is dating William. She’s not afraid of what others say, but she doesn’t want William to be involved in any trouble or criticized.
“Are you nervous?” Lawrence’s voice sounded low in her car. “If I pull you away now and let the people outside come in, and they see us in this situation, what would they think?”
At this moment, his face was very close to hers, and she finally saw the expression on his face clearly.
Clearly, he was threatening and intimidating her, but why did he have a pained expression on his face?
It was as if he was the one being threatened and intimidated.
“So you better not struggle anymore, don’t move, otherwise I can’t guarantee what will happen!”
Lawrence whispered, and was about to kiss Jasper’s lips again, but suddenly, a hand blocked his lips.
Her hand was in between their lips, and her almond eyes were so bright even in the dim room.
But at this moment, her eyes were full of anger and resentment.
Yes, she was Jasper of the Reed family, who dared to treat her like this?!
“Oh, this door must be broken. I’ll tell the others later. After this round is over, we need to fix it quickly.”
“Okay, let’s go over there first,” said someone.
The voices of the conversation gradually faded away, and the two people should have walked away.
Jasper breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, then raised his hand and slapped Lawrence hard across the face.
The slap made Lawrence’s face turn to the side, and a clear red mark appeared on his face.
“You’ve gone too far!” Jasper glared at Lawrence.
“Gone too far?” Lawrence turned his head and stared at the person in front of him again. “Who is the one who really went too far?!”
“I know I did something wrong in the past, and I’m sorry for that. I’ve been trying to make it up to you.
You can choose to forgive me or not, but that doesn’t mean you have the right to do this to me!” Jasper said.
“I don’t have the right? Then William does, right?” he said with a nasty tone.
“Of course he does, he’s my boyfriend!” Jasper said.
Her words seemed to anger him even more, causing him to grip her shoulders tightly. “Just because he’s the son of the Barlow family? If he wasn’t, if he was just a child of a criminal with nothing, and his mother had even committed an unforgivable sin against your mother, would you still let him be your boyfriend?”
“I’ve said before that the grudges of the previous generation are the business of the previous generation. My parents have never wanted to pass on the grudges of the previous generation to me!”
Jasper said seriously. “So who William’s mother is and what she has done won’t stop me from liking him. Even if he has nothing, my answer is still the same.”
“What a touching speech. I wonder if William would be moved to tears if he heard you say that,”
Lawrence mocked. “But you’ve only been dating him for a short time. Are you sure you’ll always like him? Are you sure you’ll never change your mind?”
Jasper remained silent. It was easy to say “yes” to being sure, but no one can predict the future. She was used to William’s company and enjoyed doing intimate things with him, which made her feel very moved.
However, she and William had only just started dating, so she was still figuring out her feelings for this kind of romantic relationship and trying to understand what place William held in her heart.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? You can’t be sure that you’ll never change your mind, can you?”
Lawrence said.
“The word ‘forever’ shouldn’t be used lightly,” Jasper said. “I like William, I’ve liked him for many years, that’s why I’m dating him. I want to take it further, to like him more, to understand him, to see if we have the possibility of growing old together.”
Her voice was calm and even a little flat, but it only made the anger in his heart grow stronger.
Grow old together?
She wants to grow old with William? They can be happy for a lifetime?
Then what about him? What kind of miserable life will he have?
“You said you wanted to compensate me, was that sincere?” Lawrence suddenly said.
“Of course it was,” Jasper said.
“Then I’ll give you a way to compensate me. If you can do it, I won’t hate you or the Reed family anymore from now on,” he said.
“Okay, tell me!” she said. Actually, she didn’t care whether he would hate her or the Reed family, she just wanted to make him feel better through her compensation, to make him happier in his life instead of being immersed in that pain.
“Date me too, what do you say?” he said.
She suddenly widened her eyes, full of surprise. “What did you say?”
“You can date William, why can’t you date me too? I can promise you that we can secretly date, and our relationship won’t be discovered by anyone, including William,” he said.
“Secretly…dating you?” She stared at him. “Didn’t you used to mock me for wanting to have my cake and eat it too? Now what, you’re actively asking me to have my cake and eat it too?”
“Yes, I can be one of your options. That way, you can compare and see how much you really feel for
William, right?” Lawrence said.
Jasper furrowed her brows. “I don’t like comparing feelings, and I’m not interested in having two options. I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear what you said today.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and intended to open the door.
“Don’t you want to compensate me?” He suddenly grabbed her hand, stopping her.
“I do, but not in this way,” she said.
“But isn’t using feelings to compensate for emotional harm the best way?” he said.
“Then what? If I secretly date you, but in the end, I choose to be with William for life, won’t you be hurt?
Your so-called compensation is just causing you to be hurt again,” she said.
Her stern words made his heart ache as if it had been pricked by something again!
But he said, “No, I won’t be hurt.”
She suddenly laughed. “If you won’t be hurt, then it can only mean that you don’t have those feelings for me. If you don’t have them, why bother dating?”
“You…” He stared at her, not knowing what to say next.
No feelings? Did he really not have feelings for her? This sentence was like a self-deceiving lie. He could deceive himself, but…why was she so easily deceived by him? Why couldn’t she see through his lie?
Or maybe she actually knew it was a lie, but didn’t want to expose it?
Because it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble?
Jasper left the room and changed back into her own clothes, removed her makeup, and called William,
“William, where are you?”
“Look up, you can see me,” William’s gentle voice came from the phone.
Jasper looked up and saw the familiar figure standing not far away, waiting for her.
How long had he been waiting here?!
It seemed that he was always waiting for her unintentionally.
Just like their relationship, he was waiting for her to understand her feelings for him. He wouldn’t force her, but instead gave her the choice to make.
He would always respect everything about her, comfort her when she was down, and be happy with her when she was happy.
So, it was precisely because of this that she liked him so much!
Jasper walked up quickly.
William saw Jasper coming and raised the milk tea in his hand, “I bought this for you, it’s still warm, do you want to open it and drink it now…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jasper suddenly held his cheeks with both hands, pulled him down, and kissed him on the lips.
William was surprised, there were still people around! Didn’t she dislike being affectionate in public?
But now, she took the initiative to kiss him like this, could it be…
As soon as it ended, William immediately took Jasper’s hand and walked towards a less crowded area.
He didn’t stop until they reached a secluded place, then turned to Jasper and asked, “Did something happen?”
Jasper pursed her lips awkwardly. How could she say it? That Lawrence had kissed her?! It was hard to say!
“N-nothing,” she hesitated and replied.
“Didn’t you say that you hoped we could be honest with cach other and trust each other? If so, then what can’t you tell me?”
