Kate walked ahead and huffed in anger, but her heels seemed to be intent on giving her trouble as she twisted her ankle after taking several steps.
There are no cabs at all in this bloody place. As much as she did not want to cry, she could not quite stop the tears from falling. After a few wipes, her face had turned into a failed art project. “Katie-
At that moment, she heard Nathan’s voice getting closer and louder. Out of anger, she removed one of her high heels and flung it at him. “Damn it! Stop following me!”
Successfully, Nathan dodged the high heels. flung at him and continued to race after her hastily. However, he realized that she was bare- footed, so he turned back and picked up her high heels on the ground.
He explained while racing after her, “Katie, it’s not what it seems. I don’t know her at all. The person who texted me on WhatsApp was the designer that joined my company a few days ago. I don’t know why that person became Melanie.”
Sensitive at the mere mention of that woman, Kate flung the other heel at him. “Go away! I will never trust your lies again!” Nathan dodged her other heel and picked it up.
As such, a strange scene by the roadside was depicted as Kate walked bare-footed ahead while Nathan ran after her with a pair of heels in his hands.
At that moment, a car came to a halt next to Kate and the person inside the car wound down his car window, revealing Jasper’s tender face.. “Katie, what’s going on?”
Without a word, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face as she glanced at him. What am I doing right now?!I’ve walked away from such a great guy just to get together with Nathan that prick! I’ve even trusted his lies! Why am I so spineless?!
Shocked, Jasper quickly opened the door and alighted from his car. “What’s wrong with you?” Kate remained silent as she did not have the words to explain her situation either.
As such, he did not pursue the topic any further. “Hop on.” As he said that, he opened the car door for her. She was just about to enter the car when Nathan, who had finally caught up, grabbed hold of her. “Katie, can you just listen to what I have to say? Things are not what it seems…”
Kate shrugged off his hand. “I won’t trust a single word that comes out of your mouth!” Without any hesitation, she turned around and hopped into Jasper’s car. However, Nathan was hot in pursuit and attempted to tug her hand. “Katie, I’ve ceased contact with her. S-She’s… I don’t even know who that person is!”
Meanwhile, Jasper went up to Nathan and dragged him aside. “Didn’t you hear what she just said?” Nathan blew up and he struggled forcefully to get out of Jasper’s clutches. “Stay out of this!” Nathan shouted before he went forward and tugged Kate’s hand again. At that sight, Jasper grabbed Nathan by his collar and shoved him aside before shutting the car door.
Next, Jasper pointed a finger at Nathan and sneered. “Ever since the first day I’ve known Katie, you’ve been horrendous to her each time I encountered you. You’re either making snide remarks to trigger her or causing her to cry like what you’re doing right now. I don’t understand how you’re able to hurt her again and again.”
Thud! Nathan threw a punch at Jasper. “Who do you think you are, huh? How dare you interfere in our matters!” Shifting his head aside, Jasper could only dodge the punch halfway as it landed on the corner of his lips..
Anxious, Kate did not care about Nathan’s well- being; however, if Jasper ended up getting injured because of her, then she would indefinitely feel bad. She was just about to get out of the car when Jasper shut the door and stood in front of it to prevent her from alighting. Subsequently, he wiped off the traces of blood on the corner of his lips.
“Well, I’m informing you officially that I have feelings for Kate too. From now on, you won’t see me being nice to you anymore. You might not appreciate her, but there are plenty of people who do!” After Jasper said that, he reciprocated a punch to Nathan.
Reeling back from the punch, Nathan took a few steps backward as he fell to the ground. “I don’t need you to be nice, idiot!” he snarled angrily at Jasper.
