How is that possible! How could Roger possibly like her!
From the way they interacted, she couldnât tell at all that he liked her!
Among the people around, Williamâs brow suddenly furrowed and he stood up, walking over to Roger.
âPlease donât make jokes like that, and donât speak out of turn,â he said.
Rogerâs gaze shifted to Williamâs face, as if seeing his old self through it.
Back then, he dared not say much in front of this person, nodding and bowing, thinking about how to please him. Mr. Barlow, who was high above him, was the childhood friend of the Reed familyâs eldest princess and someone he couldnât afford to offend.
He never thought about competing with Mr. Barlow, as they were worlds apart.
But now, things were different.
He is now Roger, no longer the pitiful little boy from years ago.
âIâm not joking,â Roger said. âCanât I like Jasper?â
Williamâs face became even more unpleasant, and everyoneâs gaze shifted between William, Roger, and Jasper.
The childhood friends and the rumored couple from the school forum were facing off, and it looked like a love triangle!
The scene was silent.
Roger turned his head and looked at Jasper. âJasper, how about dating me?â he asked.
Jasper blinked, her mind going blank.
Although she had been confessed to by boys before, this situation was different because the person in front of her could possibly be Lawrence!
If this person was really Lawrence, thenâ¦
âJasper!â Meave, who was in the same dormitory, elbowed Jasper. âRoger is asking you something!â
Jasper finally snapped out of it and looked around at the people surrounding her. She didnât know how to answer Rogerâs question.
âIâ¦â Jasper hesitated, only managing to say one word before her wrist was suddenly grabbed by another hand.
Then, Williamâs voice sounded in her ear, âLetâs go!â
Before Jasper could react, William had already pulled her out of the private room.
This scene shocked everyone once again.
âOh my, whatâs going on here?â
âWhy did William take Jasper away?â
âTheyâve been childhood friends, William must be helping Jasper out of a difficult situation.â
âDidnât they say that William actually likes Jasper? Of course he wouldnât want her to agree to date someone else!â
âBut if William really likes Jasper, why arenât they dating?â
âDoes Jasper not like William?â
Everyone speculated, and some gave sympathetic looks to Roger. After all, the opponent was too strong. He was not only childhood friends with Jasper but also the heir of the Barlow family, with good looks and a good background.
Roger, on the other hand, didnât show any surprise or anger.
He casually picked up a drink and took a sip, then smiled and sat down, continuing to chat with others.
âRoger, are you okay?â a classmate asked him with concern.
âIâm fine, Iâm good,â he replied with a faint smile.
Yes, thatâs right, itâs great! Just now, he clearly saw that William still cares about Jasper just as much as he did ten years ago.
Although he doesnât have any grudges against William, in the end, he canât let William have his way.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame William for being too single-minded towards Jasper.
Someone had to pay the price for what happened back then, and he and his parents have already paid the price. Now, itâs Jasperâs turn to pay the price.
