Chapter 58 - Let’s End It Here (1/2)

As he continued to stare at Luna's pretty face, he was reminded of what he'd lost.

”Miss Jiang, can I have a word with you?” The women stopped chatting with each other and looked at his way. Hero's eyes sharpened but didn't argue with his request.

Her eyes sought after her husband, afraid that he'd be angry with Jasper's request; but she found no refusal. He only gave her a nod, allowing her to follow Jasper out but reminding her not to stay too long with him.

Luna stood up and followed Jasper with enough distance between them until they reached the empty hallways.

”What do you want to talk about, Young Master Mo?” Luna was clearly making sure Jasper knew that they had nothing to do with each other now.

Looking at him, she couldn't believe that she'd watched him turn into a friend, into a lover, and then into a complete stranger after a few weeks of not seeing him.

”What happened to you?” Jasper held her wrist and frowned as he gave Luna a good look.

”I should be the one asking you that, Jasper.” Luna hissed and threw his hand away from her. It wasn't proper for her to be seen with Jasper this close. ”Sleeping with Aiko and leaving after a month without a word? What do you take me for, huh?”

Jasper was ashamed of himself, but he was also mad at Aiko that just the mere thought of her was enough to make his blood boil in anger.

”I was drugged, and Aiko took advantage of me. You can't blame me for this, Luna. I didn't want any of these,” he said helplessly. ”This is just a misunderstanding.”

”It isn't,” Luna countered, ”There's already a child involved.”

Whether if she was talking about her baby or Aiko's, it didn't matter anymore.

After a moment of silence, Luna decided to make a clean cut from him.

”Let's end it here, Jasper.”

She wasn't clear what kind of relationship did Jasper and Aiko have now, but she didn't want to be dragged down in another drama with them. After all, one was a woman who betrayed their friendship while the other destroyed the faith and trust she had with him.

It might not be Jasper's fault how she ended up pregnant and married to Hero, but he'd tolerated Aiko enough to scheme and harm her. He'd known from the start that his parents disapproved of their relationship, but Jasper never made an effort to protect her not to fight for her.

Even if she could let it go, she still didn't think she was foolish enough to forgive him. He'd taken her for a fool when he didn't tell her what happened between him and Aiko.
