After listening to Anna’s complaints, Jasper actually felt a little remorseful in his heart. At the end of the day, he failed to handle the relationship between the two women, and he held a lot of responsibility for this.
He put Anna’s hand in his and said in a deep voice, “Okay, I promise you now that I’ll do my best to be nice to you two for the rest of my life. So there is no need for you to fight over this matter. Isn’t it good for everyone to get along in harmony?”
Anna withdrew her hand from Jasper’s, raised her chin slightly, and said, “If a man comes up and shares Wendy or me with you, will you be able to get along with that man in harmony?”
Jasper was silent. To be honest, he absolutely could not tolerate such a thing as a man. However, he hoped that the two women, Wendy and Anna, could endure it for him. In short, he was just selfish. However, even if Jasper realized this, he could not make a choice right now. He could neither give up Anna for Wendy nor give up Wendy for Anna. This was a multiple-choice question that he could not choose.
Seeing Jasper so troubled, Anna finally softened and sighed softly, “Forget it, I was just mad. I know it’s hard for you too. Don‘t worry, I was just venting. It won’t affect my future cooperation with Wendy.”
Hearing her say that, Jasper took some comfort in his heart and lightly kissed the back of Anna‘s hand.
“It’ s all my fault. Even if you want to beat or scold me, it‘s all right. I won’t have a single complaint.”
Anna stared at him with her beautiful eyes and suddenly burst out laughing. “Why should I beat you? Forget it, let’s eat.”
“I’m not hungry. I can just accompany you,” Jasper said with a smile. He was not stupid. He would not tell Anna that he just ate with another woman right after he smoothed things over with her. Even though Jasper knew his lunch with Celine did not mean any thing, and it was just a meal between friends, he could not. be sure that Anna would not overthink.
After the two finished eating, they walked out of Spring Restaurant. When they arrived at the entrance, they ran into Robert, who was coincidentally walking out.
“Oh, Mr. Laine! Long time no see! I didn’t think that you’d be eating here today,” After Robert saw Jasper, he greeted him with a smile. At the same time, he spotted Anna.
“Is this Anna? You’ve turned into such a beautiful woman! You’re more and more stunning now!”
