Chapter 307: Triplet’s Mighty Mom Chapter 307

Chapter 307 There's No Turning Back

Keeping her eyes glued to Landon, Kate walked straight ahead stiffly in a robotic manner behind

Jasper. In fact, Landon had no idea that Kate would be back today and he had never expected to see

her with Jasper.

All at once, he felt like something had pierced through his heart, leaving a gaping hole through

which icy wind kept on finding its way inside. Over the past few days, he had been lingering around

her place to wait for her because he had a lot of things to tell her. However, the moment he saw

Jasper putting his arm around her shoulder, he felt as though his neck was strangled by someone

and all the words he planned to say were stuck in his throat. Had they really started dating each

other? Seeing them walking past him as if he was non-existent, he blurted out in a fit of panic,

“Kate,” Kate froze in her tracks for one second and took a deep breath before she went on without

stopping. “Kate, I have something to tell you!" His voice contained a note of anxiety and a trace of

imploration Letting out a sigh in resignation, Kate passed the key to her place over to Jasper.

“Jasper, you go first and I'll be right back.” Jasper wasn't too happy to hear that and he started

eyeing Landon disdainfully. However, he didn't say anything for Kate's sake as he took the key

readily and said with a smile, “Okay. I can cook the rice but I guess I have to count on you to

prepare the rest of the dishes.” Kate responded with a gentle smile, “That's good enough because

there are plenty of guys out there who don't even know how a rice cooker works.” Jasper cast a

glimpse at Landon before saying, “I think I should learn a thing or two from you later so that I can

cook for you in the future!” Kate could tell that he actually meant it for Landon. In fact, there wasn't

any point for him to make a remark like that because she no longer cared about what Landon

thought now. With a wide grin, she answered, “Sure!” After making sure that Jasper had gone to her

place, Kate spun around to face Landon and took a deep breath. “What is it that you would like to

say?” Keeping his eyes on her all the time, Landon asked, “Do you really fancy him?” “It's just a

matter of time.”

She said she would fall in love with him soon! Landon felt his chest tighten when he heard her

answer and at the same time, he wondered how deeply he had hurt her to make her hate him so

much. Then, he took two steps forward and said, “Kate, I've sorted out my feelings to be sure that

you're the one I like, not Melanie. Please give me another chance.”

Out of instinct, Kate retreated and made a cross sign with her arm to keep him from getting too

close. “What's your problem? Are you doing this because you're pitying me? Don't worry because

I'm not that weak and I have plenty of companions. Also, don't think I'm that bad-looking to end up

being a spinster without you.”

Looking anxious, Landon took another step forward and insisted, “Kate, I really meant what I said.

After spending the past few days thinking about us, I've finally realized how stupid I am for not

being able to tell your feelings for me and for hurting you over and over again. I can finally

understand how you must have felt before this when I saw you with Jasper...” Once again, Kate

stepped backward and snapped, “Oh, can you just do me a favor and stop bringing the past up? I

only managed to forget some of that crap over the past few days. Landon, there's no turning back

for both of us now. Not only can't we become a couple, but we can't even be friends because the

sight of you reminds me of how foolish I was! I've never pinned any blame on you because you have

the right to like whoever you want. The problem lies with me who fell head over heels in love with

you and stubbornly refused to give up when it was so obvious that there wasn't any hope between

us. Now that I'm finally able to come to myself, stop trying to haul me back to that hopeless pit!”

When he heard Kate's croaky voice, it wasn't an understatement to describe the pain in Landon’s

heart as an excruciating one. “Kate, it's my fault to fall for Melanie's flattery and I know I've let you

down and hurt you very badly. Please don't push me away so firmly now because you should take

your time to cool down and think about...” “Can you just stop mentioning her name in my

presence? I'm not interested in the stuff between Melanie and you!” Kate didn't give him a chance

to even finish his sentence by snarling at him, “Falling in love with you is the biggest mistake I've

made in my life! It's been seven years! Landon, I had been in love with you for seven years but I

never thought that I would still have to earn your trust and prove my innocence by a voice

recording. I'm really tired of having anything to do with you so just do me a favor and get out of my

life!”
