Chapter 720
Kate shook her head. "It's just the right size. It's not too big."
Jasper became smug upon hearing that. "What do you think about that? I've got sharp eyes, eh? I saw your feet at
a glance and gauged them to be a size 38. See, I was right and that's the exact size of your feet."
She smiled. "Thank you."
He held a wet wipe in his hand and cleaned her dirty face tenderly. "You don't have to thank me at all at any point in
time."
Awkward by his action, Kate reached out to grab the wet wipes from him. "I can do that myself."
Jasper responded, "You don't have a mirror to look into, so I'll do that for you. You can't even see the stained parts
of your face."
At that moment, Kate enjoyed the great care from him without having to lift a finger.
After quite some time, he finally stopped what he was doing and asked, "Do you want me to help you reapply some
makeup?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKate could not help bursting into laughter. "Do you know how to?"
"Although I've never done it for anyone, I can try my best," Jasper replied with a smile.
She burst out into laughter once again. "That's alright. It won't be long before I reach home."
"So soon?" he asked.
Confused, Kate turned to look at him. "Do you have something else in mind?"
"Well, I've spent quite some time helping you remove your makeup, so doesn't that warrant a treat from you at the
very least?" he inquired.
She could not quite find it in herself to reject his request, so she agreed, "Sure, what would you like?"
"Let's go for a hotpot then," Jasper suggested.
"Sure, it's my treat then."
"Would you like to take a seat in front?"
After a moment of consideration, Kate realized that it was quite rude of her to sit at the back, so she agreed and
entered the front passenger seat.
With that, Jasper started the car and drove off slowly.
He looked at her before voicing out, "Regardless of the situation you're in, I would just like to say to you that if
you're unhappy with him, just leave him. Each of us here only has one shot at life, so why should you be the one
having to compromise so much?"
As soon as Kate heard that, the turbulent feelings that she tried so hard to suppress, arose once again as the tears
welled up nearly rolled out of her eyes.
"Perhaps... I'm just used to it?"
Jasper replied, "It only takes twenty-eight days to form a habit, right? Time is constantly passing by and everything
is changing by the minute as well. You might still be vulnerable and raw at the moment, but that doesn't mean that
you'll always remain in this state. You should prioritize your happiness and stay away from the things or people that
don't serve you for the higher good."
Kate acknowledged his words. I wish I could do that too, but I'm such a wuss! He's the only guy who can make me
laugh from the bottom of my heart and cry bitterly from the pain he inflicted. She realized that the man next to her
was a great guy. Though he was so outstanding to the point that she felt apprehensive about accepting him, she
was concerned about her sincerity toward him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"There is a hotpot restaurant over there. Let's try it!" Jasper suggested.
Kate glanced at it and replied, "Sure, but I've never been there, so I'm not sure if it's good."
"We can give it a try and we'll be able to find out then."
Jasper steered the car as he spoke before coming to a stop in front of the restaurant. Subsequently, the couple
entered the place after which the waiter led them to a table at the main dining area; each table was a private
booth. Nonetheless, the private booth was unlike a stuffy, private room without fresh air as it felt comfortable.
They ordered some food along with the main star- the hotpot.
Although Kate had insisted that it was her treat, Jasper was actually the one serving her well.
He was witty, charming and kept a good boundary.
He cracked some jokes from time to time and shared some interesting pieces of information from a broad range of
topics with her. Kate found herself drawn into his words; for a moment there, it took her mind off the unhappy
episode from earlier.
Undeniably, it felt much more comfortable to be with someone than to be nursing her wounds by herself in a
corner.
After dinner, Jasper excused himself first to drive his car to the entrance at which Kate stood to wait for him.
There was a man and a woman not too far from her and they seemed to be shoving each other as they exchanged
harsh words. Sensing that the two figures looked familiar, she headed closer toward them out of curiosity.
