495 Be My Girlfriend

In the cafeteria of Birmingham University, Sean handed the girl, who was sitting by the window, a cup of hot coffee. "There is a spot for the national debate competition, and I recommended you," he said.

Isabella didn't seem particularly excited about it, so she just sipped

her coffee. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to go. Jasmine would certainly be

interested in it, and it would help her when she applies to graduate school."

“Actually, Jasmine has left the debate team,” Sean said as he leaned back.

“Huh? Why? | thought she enjoyed the debate,” Isabella asked, surprised.

"She's been very busy lately and has exams to prepare for. Also, she's starting an internship." Sean made an excuse, “This evening, I'll be hosting the campus singer competition. Would you like to come?"

Isabella raised her eyes to Sean, who wore a white shirt under his camel-colored cashmere coat and a dark blue tie. "Sorry, but | may not be able to attend. I've had a lot on my plate lately, and | have several papers to write. If I'm available this evening, I'll be there.”

“OK, I'll reserve two front-row seats for you. You are welcome to bring a friend.”

"Thanks."

As the two finished their meal and left the cafeteria together, aman approached Isabella,

“Jasper, what are you doing here?” Isabella asked, surprised, 494 Be My Girlfriend til

Jasper was dressed to the nines in a black couture suit, one hand in his suit pants pocket. He didn’t say anything, but his calm demeanor made him seem mature and reliable.

"Why haven't you returned my calls lately?" He asked gently, looking into her eyes.

Isabella averted her gaze. Lily had answered the phone the last time she called him. As a result, she refused to answer Jasper's calls after that. She felt betrayed by him and was afraid he would tell her he was remarrying Lily.

At the thought of that, Isabella frowned, took Sean's hand in hers, and said, "I'm going to a meeting now, sorry. I'll see you later.”

Jasper, of course, was aware of what she was thinking. Instead of walking away, he said patiently, "Let's have dinner together tonight.”

"I'm so sorry, | don't have time for the evening either. | promised my friend that I would be at a competition,” Isabella cut him off and said. When she said that, her grip on Sean's hand tightened, making him feel hurt.

Sean blushed and extended his hand to Jasper, saying, "Hello, I'm Isabella's friend, Sean.”

Jasper was skilled at masking his emotions. Even though he shook Sean's hand, his cold smile revealed how upset he was. After that, Jasper returned his gaze to Isabella and asked softly, "What kind of competition is this? May | go there?"

"You certainly can, sir! | can reserve front-row seats for you and Isabella," Sean responded right away.

Not wanting to talk to him any longer, Isabella took Sean's hand and walked away.

In the afternoon, Sean went to rehearsal, leaving Isabella to wander 494 Be My Girlfriend all the campus alone. Meanwhile, Jasper wore a light gray coat and was waiting for her downstairs with a hot coffee.

Isabella walked out of the building and stopped as soon as she saw him. For a brief moment, they gazed at each other in the distance.

The wind was chilly then, and the setting sun shone on the water's surface, causing it to glow golden. The scenery was as lovely as Isabella's mood.

At this point, she was suddenly relieved. She took many pictures of this lake to show Jasper how beautiful it was. And she wished Jasper could hold her hand and walk with her across the lake bridge every time she saw couples doing that.

" Hope that you still love hazelnut cappuccino.” Jasper handed her the cup, his gentle smile as warm as the winter sun.

Without hesitation, Isabella approached Jasper and hugged him. And she smelled his perfume as she pressed her cheek against his chest. Jasper froze when he opened his arms. He went into a daze, recalling some of the emotions he had felt for her before. Gradually, he tightened his arms, passing more warmth to her.

The next second, Isabella took his hand in hers and led him forward. She was holding a warm cup of coffee in one hand and his warm hand in the other. Afterward, Isabella smiled cheerfully and started telling him about what was going on at school.

“Later, 'll take you to the library! All the new computers there are made by your company.” Isabella said in excitement.

"Okay."

Gazing at her gently, Jasper slowed his pace. The grass and trees on this campus were still the same as they had been many years before, 494 Be My Girlfriend al intoxicating him

The annual campus singer competition at the university was about to begin. Isabella took the seat Sean had reserved for her directly behind the judges’ table.
