Chapter 264

Jasper smiled. “Actually, it’s good that you behave like this. You are straightforward. You have to know

that people who are ladylike and chivalrous are restrained by many strict rules and they don’t like to

abide by it all the time. They also want to be like you and freely express their thoughts and feelings.”

Kate placed a piece of steak into her mouth, saying while she chewed, “You are right. It’s difficult for

people to express their thoughts nowadays. Everyone seems to be hiding behind a facade. Even by

looking at them, it feels exhausting!”

He nodded in concurrence. “That’s why I said that it’s good for you to be like this.”

She smiled. “I can’t do this all the time too. After meeting my sponsors, I will have to respectfully bow to

them.”

He said seriously, “You are the person-in-charge this time. I’ll have to suck up to you.”

She laughed out loud. “You have a bright future ahead of you!”

He also laughed. Amidst the happy atmosphere, they suddenly heard a girlish voice. “Kate!”

As soon as Kate heard the voice, she immediately frowned, as if it was her natural biological reaction.

Following the direction of the voice, she saw Melanie Hopper’s irritating face and immediately retracted

her gaze and ignored her.

However, Melanie was unable to tell what went on and scooted closer to her. “It’s really you!”

Although she was talking to Kate, she appraised the man seated opposite who looked like he was a

gentleman and elegant. However, he was not as handsome as Nathan or as tall as him. A sudden

surge of pride enveloped her as she looked down on Jasper. “Kate, is this your boyfriend?”

Kate lazily looked at her, answering, “You already have a boyfriend, so it’s better that you don’t casually

ask about other men. Not every one of them belongs to you, you know!”

Melanie looked hurt upon hearing that. “Kate, what do you mean? I’m not laying my eyes on anyone

else. Nate and I saw you, so we thought of coming over to say hi to you. Why are you so rude?”

With that, she pouted at Nathan, using her expression to complain to him.

Nathan had been eyeing Jasper from the moment he entered the restaurant. She likes that man? She

smiles happily when she talks to other men, but she keeps ignoring me. What have I done to her? It

was merely a joke after all! Does she have to hold a grudge for so long?

There was a heavy feeling in Nathan’s chest as he grabbed Melanie’s shoulders. “You’re thinking too

much about this. Kate has always been strict in her taste and isn’t simply impressed by the average

Joe!”

Kate smiled. “I hope you are always so confident.”

After staying silent for a long time, Jasper still thought about her words when she had said, “Not every

man belongs to you, you know!” Obviously, she wants me.

Suddenly, his spirit soared as his heart wildly palpitated. He winked at Kate as he said in a low, sexy

voice. “Don’t worry, I’m yours. I have a high standard too and won’t be impressed by b*tches.”

The minute he said those words, Kate had no idea what the others thought, but she blushed. W-What

is he talking about? What does he mean when he says he’s mine?

She looked at him with a warning, but he winked at her.

She was speechless upon seeing that.

Melanie’s face darkened as she realized that they were insulting her. This man’s reaction is rather

quick after all. He’s placing aside his feelings for Kate and defending her now. Is he trying to ask her

out? Tsk, if this continues, she is going to fall for someone else. It won’t be fun anymore when no one is

competing with me.
