“Please extend my gratitude to the old master on my behalf,” Jasper said sincerely to Anna.
Although it were the Laws who had asked for him, they had treated him with enough respect in all aspects regardless.
Jasper was not one to have an exaggerated opinion of his own ability. He respected Old Master Law, and his words were spoken from the heart.
“You should convey this to the old master yourself,” Anna said with a smile.
“Alright, Little Sis. You’ve picked up the man, I’m leaving now.” Henry took the opportunity to say this just as Jasper was getting into the car.
Anna furrowed her brows and said, “Grandfather wants to invite Jasper for dinner at home tonight. Where are you running off to?”
“Oh shucks, Grandfather also knows that I don’t fancy these kinds of occasions. I’ve already made plans with a friend, so I’ll be going off first.”
As Henry finished saying this, he sped off in a hurry.
Anna sighed. Turning around, she got into the car.
The same moment the driver started the car, Anna said to Jasper apologetically, “My brother, he is in truth a bit rude, so please don’t mind him.”
“Not at all. From the way he sees it, we’re simply not individuals from the same world. It’s not surprising that we might not have things to talk about.” Jasper actually understood this clearly.
“Apart from his group of scoundrels, who else would be of the same world as he?” said Anna unhappily.
As they sat in the car, there was a faint feminine fragrance coming from his side. This fragrance was not heady and carried with it the slight scent of perfume.
Ordinary women certainly wore perfume as not all women had a natural bodily fragrance. Like for Wendy, she did not really fancy using perfume as her body was naturally pleasant smelling.
It was different for Anna, though. The perfume on her body was supplemented by the scent of her own body, making it even more fragrant. Even though it was not heavy, the level of its intensity was one that tugged at heartstrings the most.
Jasper felt some discomfort sitting in the same car with both of them so close together.
