Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 497

497 Almost Out of Control

"No, I'm just an ordinary person too.” Jasper suddenly remembered what he had said to Isabella and some images that even he himself thought he had already forgotten. And his instincts told him he needed to escape.

Taking a step back, he closed the door and left the bedroom. With what was left of his sanity, he dressed himself in a panic and called his assistant Liam as he buttoned his shirt.

"Come and pick me up," With a shudder, he said. Ignoring Lily, who had walked out of the room and was going to chase after him, he quickly hung up the phone and left the apartment.

Awhile later, Liam arrived at the apartment and found Jasper sitting on the curb alone. Liam had only been Jasper's secretary for a short time and didn't know him well. He was surprised, however, to see Jasper sitting on the curb with a pale face and shaking all over.

"Take me home, please," Jasper said. Then Jasper got into the car and leaned weakly against the back seat, sweat dripping from his brow onto his shirt. To control himself, he clenched his fists with all the strength he could muster.

On the way, Liam had been worried about Jasper and had kept an eye on him in the rearview mirror. After a while, he noticed Jasper was no longer shaking but quietly leaning against the car window.

Because he kept forcing himself to calm down, Jasper appeared to be getting better. And Jasper was shocked as he realized that he was thinking about Isabella when he lost his mind. 496 Almost Out of Control nal

At that moment, all he could think about was her. He remembered how she cried and laughed, how she pouted and acted irrationally in front of him.

As soon as the car drove into his estate and stopped in front of the house, Jasper stumbled out of the car and made his way upstairs to his room. The maids tried to help him upstairs, but he told them to leave him alone because he needed to be alone.

Holding the handrail, he struggled up the stairs, but his steps abruptly stopped as he approached the second floor. A person in front of him blocked his way.

"Jasper," Isabella greeted him in a soft voice.

Hearing that, Jasper raised his head and looked up at her. As his gaze shifted, he saw her fair and slender legs, her curvaceous body, and her pretty yet puzzled face.

With a pale face, he clung to the handrail and tried to avoid her gaze. Then, he pushed her away and continued up the stairs. Isabella was caught off guard and stumbled, scattering the things in her hands across the floor. She didn't pick them up but continued to follow him upstairs.

"You're not feeling well, right? What's the problem?" Isabella asked Jasper, grasping his arm.

After feeling her touch, Jasper shuddered violently. "Leave me alone!" he snarled as he frowned and shook off her hand.

Isabella had never seen Jasper behave in this way before. Instead of being angry with him and wondering why he was upset, she was worried about him. So, she continued walking up the stairs, following him.
