As expected, Wendy was very pleased with Jasper’s performance… In truth, Wendy was already extremely content with today’s sea of petals, firework show, and neon light confession.
Most importantly, Jasper had returned and he did not forget what day it was today.
This was what mattered to Wendy the most.
“You didn’t need to put so much effort into this. I’m happy enough that you’re back,” Wendy said softly.
Jasper chuckled and replied, “There’s no such thing as too much effort. Anything to make you happy.”
“I am happy… but won’t this hold you back from work?”
Most women were like this. If you were too busy with work to take care of her feelings, then she would be unhappy. However, once you put effort to make her happy, she would then worry that she was holding you back from work.
Of course, the basis of this was that this woman was willing to spend the rest of her life with you. Or she would not care about that at all.
“Tonight’s about us. Let’s not talk about business,” Jasper waved her off and said.
“What nonsense is that!” Wendy’s meekness and grace had her flailing at Jasper’s straightforwardness.
“I can’t believe my dad worked with you to lie to me. There’s no way I’d let him go so easily…”
Still, Jasper’s delicately planned celebration was a complete success.
The two did not return to the villa that night. After dinner, they decided to stroll by the riverbank.
It was as Jasper had said before. Tonight was about them, not business.
After strolling, Jasper then brought Wendy to watch a late night film in a cinema. It was already early morning when the movie was over.
While the two had long started living together, they had never gone all the way.
