Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 501

501 Are You Her Uncle or Adoptive Father?

"I'll be moving into my apartment next week," Jasper said without further explanation. He then leaned back in his seat hard. Closing his eyes, he felt exhausted in a way he hadn't felt in a long time.

When Jasper arrived home, he went upstairs to shower before sitting on the couch in the living room downstairs. He didn't return to the study to finish his work, nor did he go upstairs to sleep as usual.

The light in the living room remained turned on. Wendy came out of her room several times to check on him and discovered him watching a reality TV show. The laughter track on TV echoed through the large living room, sounding eerie in the quiet night.

Jasper was staring at the TV screen with no expression on his face and didn’t even move a muscle for a long time. Wendy brought him coffee several times, but he didn’t drink it.

"It's almost two o'clock. Si jendy went to see him for one last time and brought him a cup of hot milk.

He remained motionless and said, "Leave me alone, please. You can go back home now."

Wendy put the milk on the coffee table and then couldn't help but yawn. When she opened the door, a cold wind blew in. She paused in the doorway for a moment before walking back in.

After that, she walked up through the living room to the second floor and checked if all windows were closed. She then returned to the living room with an umbrella in her hand, Wendy said as she approached the door, "It's raining outside, and tomorrow will be even colder. Remember to 500 Are You Her Uncle or Adopt 7 bring your down jacket if you want to get out.”

She then pushed the door open and left the house. The rain hit the umbrella, making an annoying sound.

Jasper's expression darkened as if he were a vampire used to living in the dark. He checked his watch before turning off the television. The large living room fell silent, and it was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat. He then gulped down the milk and went upstairs to his room. As he stepped onto the stairs, however, he suddenly stopped.

And Jasper pondered for a long time before dialing Isabella's number. He called her twice more, but she still didn't answer. He then walked to his study right away.

When Jasper turned on his computer, he discovered that her location information indicated that she was in an apartment building close to her school. He frowned as he stared at the blinking red dot on the computer screen.

On his way out, he put on a heavy coat and grabbed two umbrellas from the umbrella stand. Before getting in the car, he called Isabella one last time, but she had turned off her phone. Without further delay, he drove directly to that apartment.

While Jasper was stepping hard on the gas and driving faster and faster on the road, Sean and Isabella went to a small restaurant near the school.

Isabella sipped some hot tea while they were waiting for their dishes. The restaurant was overheated, which caused her cheeks to burn and her vision to blur. Though feeling uncomfortable, she forced herself to listen to Sean talk about the debate team and occasionally talk to him.

Isabella could no longer hold back her nausea and walked to the restroom after the waiter had served all their dishes, of Amoment later, a waitress screamed, "Someone's fainted!" She exclaimed as she stood at the lobby's entrance to the restroom.

Hearing that, Sean dashed there and discovered Isabella unconscious next to the sink. When he picked her up, he sensed that her forehead was hotter than usual.

She also mumbled something. Sean didn't have time to ask her what she was saying and rushed out of the restaurant with her in his arms.

As he walked away, Sean didn’t notice a young man in the restaurant staring at him. When he led Isabella out of the restaurant, the young man took off his uniform and followed him.

Later, Sean took Isabella into the apartment he had rented near their school. He'd just put her to bed when he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he found that there stood an angry young man in the doorway. The man said nothing before he punched Sean in the face violently.

"What in the hell are you doing?!" Exclaiming, Sean stumbled and grabbed the door frame to keep himself from falling.

"Where's Isabella?” asked the strange man, who grabbed him by the neck with one hand.
