William asked Jasper, âWhat did you say to him today? What does he mean by âmaking up for itâ?â
Jasper stared at Rogerâs back for a moment and said, âI didnât say anything. I want to go back. Can you take me home?â
His eyes flickered slightly. âSure, letâs get in the car. Iâll take you home.â
The two got in the car, and William helped Jasper fasten his seatbelt.
Jasper closed his eyes wearily. He had been waiting at the bar for three hours tonight, and now he felt exhausted.
William started the car, turned the steering wheel, and drove in the opposite direction of Roger.
Meanwhile, Roger, who was walking on the other side, stopped and watched the car gradually getting farther away. His right hand hung down, still feeling the warmth of her hand when he held it before.
âJasper, even now, you still let go of my hand.â Roger murmured.
So, he was always the one left behind. Was William the one who could truly stand by her side?
In the car, Jasper stared at his own hand absentmindedly. He didnât know what Lawrence had been through all these years. He was just a 10-year-old child who had experienced such a big change and was taken away from the hospital. He might not have had a good life before being adopted by the Elliott family and becoming Roger.
Although she didnât know how he was adopted, she wondered what kind of hardships he had gone through as a child before being taken in.
William looked at Jasper, who was lost in thought, and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
He knew that her mind was probably filled with thoughts of Lawrence at the moment.
In his view, Lawrence was like a ticking time bomb, filled with intense resentment. And usually, it was better to defuse such a bomb as early as possible.
Butâ¦that person was Lawrence!
He was the one she had been yearning for all these years! If he really got rid of Lawrence, she would probably never forgive him for the rest of her life.
Also, was Lawrence really just filled with resentment towards her?
There was clearly another kind of feeling there!
Thinking of this, Williamâs hand on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously. He didnât want to see either kind of feeling from Lawrence in the future!
âWilliam, do you think Lawrence has gone through a lot in these years? Even though heâs now a child of the Elliott family and living a comfortable life, what about before that? How did he end up going abroad? What did he go through on the way?â Jasperâs voice suddenly rang out in the car.
âDo you want me to help you investigate? Even though itâs been many years, we might be able to find something,â William offered.
Jasper shook her head. âNo need. If heâs willing to tell me himself one day, then Iâll know.â
âWhat do you plan to do with him in the future?â William asked.
âIâll try my best to become friends with him again and make up for what I can,â Jasper replied.
âBut what if heâs not willing? Besides, heâs now the heir of the Elliott family and doesnât lack anything material. What do you plan to use to make up for it?â William questioned.
Jasper suddenly thought of Lawrenceâs proposal to date her and shook her head vigorously.
