Chapter 53 - This Isn’t a Place Where You Should Be (2/2)

Luna stepped back and held her ċhėst. This was too much information for her to handle. She suddenly felt so dizzy, and her eyesight was starting to blur.

Twelve weeks… that meant a month before she met Hero Li. Did Aiko set her up that night so she could justify her marriage with Jasper soon?

”Luna, please hear me out…” Jasper's voice was surprisingly calm.

”So is true then?” Luna looked at him straight in his eyes, trying to find deceit in him.

”Yes…”

Silence ensued, and neither of the two spoke a word for the next seconds. Aiko was pleased with the result. There would be no chance for Luna to accept Jasper anymore for his betrayal even if she was the one who drugged him forcefully to get pregnant.

Luna felt like she was just stabbed right in her ċhėst from Jasper's confession. All this time, she had blamed herself, feeling pitiful and guilty for getting pregnant. Yet, Jasper had it worst.

No wonder he couldn't look at her straight in the eyes when she talked to him weeks before she met Hero Li. No wonder he would unconsciously shiver at the mention of Aiko Chen's name. It was now starting to make sense to her.

Luna wiped her tears dry and smiled bitterly at Jasper.

”Then, congratulations Young Master Mo. I wish the best for the two of you,” she finally said… knowing that, after this, they would take two different paths from each other.

With teary eyes, Luna gave him a slight bow and excused herself, leaving Aiko extremely happy with the events.

”Luna… please…”

It was the first time for Luna to hear him like this, she wanted to hear what he would say. However, in her heart, she knew the two of them could never be. She was already President Li's wife while he was about to become the father of another woman's child.

Ah, finally! She finally won against Luna Jiang and successfully secured her place as the next madam of the Mo family!

Luna simply didn't want to stay at the party anymore and went straight towards the elevator. She was really grateful that her husband didn't give her a long dress, or else she would've been tripped with her face-planting on the marbled floor.

However, Jasper decided to chase after her to explain, surprising Aiko and Madam Mo. They couldn't allow Jasper to follow Luna, or else their plan was for naught.

”Luna! Wait!” Jasper ran after her.

”Jasper, please don't make a scene…” Madam Mo begged his stepson, glancing around them nervously.

Just as Luna was about to step into the elevator, a cold voice broke apart the tension and reached her ears.
