Against Cruelty, She Grew Strong (by Anastasia Glover) novel Chapter 673

Even In Darkness, She Chose to Rise

Chapter 673 Jasper Sets Off To Rescue Tammy

And she couldn’t just leave Tammy’s situation hanging.

She couldn’t trust anyone else to handle that side of things.

Only Jasper.

He was the sole person she had faith in.

“You promise?”

“I do. I promise.”

He gave her his word.

He also understood that Tammy meant the world to Tatiana—like a sister. Any harm coming to her would destroy Tatiana.

“Good. Then I’m trusting you with this.”

Jasper opened his mouth to offer some reassuring words.

But before he could speak, her gorgeous face suddenly moved closer.

By the time he registered what was happening, warmth spread across his lips.

Incredibly soft.

His eyes darkened. He abruptly tightened his grip on her waist, flipped their positions, and drove the kiss deeper.

“Mmph!”

He went too deep. She started losing ground.

Her knees buckled. She couldn’t stay upright without him holding her.

Eventually, she just looped her arms around his neck, shut her eyes, and let him take over, letting his scent soak into her.

When they finally broke apart, she rested against his chest, gasping for air.

Jasper fought down the overwhelming urge inside him. His voice came out rough, “Wait for me to get back. And remember—it’s only a fake marriage. Don’t let him touch you. I’ll be back before you know it.”

“Okay. I promise. I’ll wait for all of you to return.”

He couldn’t stop himself from brushing his lips against hers again. Only after forcing himself to let go did he pull back.

“I’m heading out now.”

Every second wasted added more danger.

Deal with it fast!

“I’ll walk you—”

“No. Stay here. Don’t go anywhere. We’ll keep in touch. While I’m away, you can reach Foster anytime. He’ll take care of whatever you need.”

Tatiana gave a small smile, “Don’t worry about me. I can handle myself now. You don’t need to stress.”

“I know. But I’ll still worry anyway.”

A wave of warmth washed over Tatiana. She hugged him once more.

This time, she didn’t linger. She let go quickly.

“I’m off.”

“Okay.”

Jasper turned and walked away.

Tatiana couldn’t hold back. She called out, “Jasper!”

He paused, “Yeah?”

“Tammy matters. But you matter more. I’m waiting for you to come back in one piece.”

Jasper hadn’t seen that coming.

Ever since they’d reconnected, Tatiana had kept her feelings guarded. She never said anything sweet. She was so self-sufficient that it seemed like she could walk away at any second.
