Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 720

Kate shook her head. "It's just the right size. It's not too big."

Jasper became smug upon hearing that. "What do you think about that? I've got sharp eyes, eh? I saw your feet at

a glance and gauged them to be a size 38. See, I was right and that's the exact size of your feet."

She smiled. "Thank you."

He held a wet wipe in his hand and cleaned her dirty face tenderly. "You don't have to thank me at all at any point in

time."

Awkward by his action, Kate reached out to grab the wet wipes from him. "I can do that myself."

Jasper responded, "You don't have a mirror to look into, so I'll do that for you. You can't even see the stained parts

of your face."

At that moment, Kate enjoyed the great care from him without having to lift a finger.

After quite some time, he finally stopped what he was doing and asked, "Do you want me to help you reapply some

makeup?"

Kate could not help bursting into laughter. "Do you know how to?"

"Although I've never done it for anyone, I can try my best," Jasper replied with a smile.

She burst out into laughter once again. "That's alright. It won't be long before I reach home."

"So soon?" he asked.

Confused, Kate turned to look at him. "Do you have something else in mind?"

"Well, I've spent quite some time helping you remove your makeup, so doesn't that warrant a treat from you at the

very least?" he inquired.

She could not quite find it in herself to reject his request, so she agreed, "Sure, what would you like?"

"Let's go for a hotpot then," Jasper suggested.

"Sure, it's my treat then."

"Would you like to take a seat in front?"

After a moment of consideration, Kate realized that it was quite rude of her to sit at the back, so she agreed and

entered the front passenger seat.

With that, Jasper started the car and drove off slowly.

He looked at her before voicing out, "Regardless of the situation you're in, I would just like to say to you that if

you're unhappy with him, just leave him. Each of us here only has one shot at life, so why should you be the one

having to compromise so much?"

As soon as Kate heard that, the turbulent feelings that she tried so hard to suppress, arose once again as the tears

welled up nearly rolled out of her eyes.

"Perhaps… I'm just used to it?"

Jasper replied, "It only takes twenty-eight days to form a habit, right? Time is constantly passing by and everything

is changing by the minute as well. You might still be vulnerable and raw at the moment, but that doesn't mean that

you'll always remain in this state. You should prioritize your happiness and stay away from the things or people that

don't serve you for the higher good."

Kate acknowledged his words. I wish I could do that too, but I'm such a wuss! He's the only guy who can make me

laugh from the bottom of my heart and cry bitterly from the pain he inflicted. She realized that the man next to her

was a great guy. Though he was so outstanding to the point that she felt apprehensive about accepting him, she

was concerned about her sincerity toward him.

"Lat's go for a hotpot than," Jaspar suggastad.

"Sura, it's my traat than."

"Would you lika to taka a saat in front?"

Aftar a momant of considaration, Kata raalizad that it was quita ruda of har to sit at tha back, so sha agraad and

antarad tha front passangar saat.

With that, Jaspar startad tha car and drova off slowly.

Ha lookad at har bafora voicing out, "Ragardlass of tha situation you'ra in, I would just lika to say to you that if

you'ra unhappy with him, just laava him. Each of us hara only has ona shot at lifa, so why should you ba tha ona

having to compromisa so much?"

As soon as Kata haard that, tha turbulant faalings that sha triad so hard to supprass, arosa onca again as tha taars

wallad up naarly rollad out of har ayas.

"Parhaps… I'm just usad to it?"

Jaspar rapliad, "It only takas twanty-aight days to form a habit, right? Tima is constantly passing by and avarything

is changing by tha minuta as wall. You might still ba vulnarabla and raw at tha momant, but that doasn't maan that

you'll always ramain in this stata. You should prioritiza your happinass and stay away from tha things or paopla that

don't sarva you for tha highar good."

Kata acknowladgad his words. I wish I could do that too, but I'm such a wuss! Ha's tha only guy who can maka ma

laugh from tha bottom of my haart and cry bittarly from tha pain ha inflictad. Sha raalizad that tha man naxt to har

was a graat guy. Though ha was so outstanding to tha point that sha falt apprahansiva about accapting him, sha

was concarnad about har sincarity toward him.

"There is a hotpot restaurant over there. Let's try it!" Jasper suggested.

Kate glanced at it and replied, "Sure, but I've never been there, so I'm not sure if it's good."

"We can give it a try and we'll be able to find out then."

Jasper steered the car as he spoke before coming to a stop in front of the restaurant. Subsequently, the couple

entered the place after which the waiter led them to a table at the main dining area; each table was a private

booth. Nonetheless, the private booth was unlike a stuffy, private room without fresh air as it felt comfortable.

They ordered some food along with the main star—the hotpot.

Although Kate had insisted that it was her treat, Jasper was actually the one serving her well.

He was witty, charming and kept a good boundary. He cracked some jokes from time to time and shared some

interesting pieces of information from a broad range of topics with her. Kate found herself drawn into his words; for

a moment there, it took her mind off the unhappy episode from earlier.

Undeniably, it felt much more comfortable to be with someone than to be nursing her wounds by herself in a

corner.

After dinner, Jasper excused himself first to drive his car to the entrance at which Kate stood to wait for him.

There was a man and a woman not too far from her and they seemed to be shoving each other as they exchanged

harsh words. Sensing that the two figures looked familiar, she headed closer toward them out of curiosity.
