The Heiress With Seven Secret Identitle:
Chapter 371 Only Nervous for You
After all, this place was called Underbridge Karaoke.
“This is the exact room.”
“Ah!”
Nicole panicked and tried to run.
The room was dim, and she tripped over a table in her rush.
“Nicole!” Jasper’s face filled with worry. He reached to steady her, but his hand was still cold from holding the icy drink.
The chill made her flinch, and when he pulled her, she stumbled backward.
Naturally, Jasper became her cushion.
“Jaron, you jerk!” Amelia was also scared. Realizing Jaron had booked the room, she was furious.
He ran; she chased him.
Soon only Jasper and Nicole were left in the room.
“Jasper… I landed on you, right?”
As soon as she spoke, she realized how it sounded.
Her ears turned pink.
“Yeah. It’s me. Don’t be afraid.”
Knowing it was him calmed her down.
But she suddenly jumped up. “Let’s get out of here!”
She took his hand and pulled him out of the room.
Jasper stared at their joined hands.
Tenderness softened his downcast eyes.
Outside, Amelia was gripping Jaron’s collar and yelling at him.
“Amelia, let me help!” Nicole said.
The warmth in his palm vanished. Jasper’s heart sank a little. “Jaron, you’re the worst.” Nicole clenched her fists and hit him.
It was the first time she had ever hit him, even since they wer
kids.

“I’ll help too.” Jasper rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.
Jaron stared at him in shock.
Jasper, seriously?
I’m your wingman, not your punching bag!
Some friend you are!
Why am I always the one suffering?
“Wait! Jasper was the one who made up the story!”
Nicole immediately turned her fist toward Jasper.
“Go on.”
Jasper grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer.
Her fist landed gently on his chest.
The strong, steady heartbeat made Nicole feel strange.
She pulled her hand away.
The night breeze was cool, easing the odd warmth on her skin.
In the end, Jaron and Jasper were forced to treat everyone to a late-night snack.
“Come on, you two, don’t be mad.”
Nicole pressed her lips together and glared at Jaron, then at Jasper.
“Nicole, don’t look at me like that. I only heard the story tonight. We were already in the room. I couldn’t just scare you for no reason.”
“Why did you say it later, then?”
“You asked me! I couldn’t lie to you.”
Nicole and Amelia exchanged looks.
“So it’s our fault?” they said in unison.
“It’s fine! Tomorrow we’ll go to the church and pray. Nothing bad will happen.”
Nicole and Amelia nodded.

After dropping Nicole and Amelia home, Jaron and Jasper sat by the river drinking beer.

Jaron raised his can. “Cheers.”
Jasper clinked his can and drank, his throat moving slightly.
“So? You gonna confess?”
Jasper froze.
The night wind brushed his hair.
A faint mint scent lingered in the air.
Jaron put an arm around his shoulder, his eyes playful. “We’re going to college soon. You can date now. Don’t hesitate. If someone else takes Nicole, don’t come crying to me.”
“What if she says no?”
“Not likely.”

“Why?” Jasper stared at him, curious about his confidence.
“I don’t know if she likes you, but she definitely doesn’t dislike you. That’s a start!”
“What if she only sees me as a friend?”
“Then you win her over!”
“But-”
“No way. Jasper, you’re actually nervous?” Jaron’s eyes curved into a playful smirk.
He could barely believe this was the calm Jasper he knew.
