    “I really… um, just see him as a friend. I definitely don’t want to marry him,” Jasper said.


    “But I do hope she can marry me,” a voice suddenly sounded coldly from the side.


    “But I do hope she can marry me,” a voice suddenly sounded coldly beside them.


    Jasper’s face immediately turned red with embarrassment as he looked over to see Roger, who had


    appeared out of


    nowhere.


    The little girl looked sad and asked, “Roger, do you… do you


    like this sister?”


    “Yes, I like her,” Roger walked up to the little girl and crouched down, saying, “But she only sees me as


    a friend.”


    Jasper felt awkward as the two of them, one big and one small, chatted away as if no one else was


    there, with her being the main topic of their conversation.


    “So I like Roger. Roger, will you wait for me to grow up and marry you? I will definitely grow up to be


    very beautiful, more


    beautiful than this older sister!”


    Roger smiled slightly and said, “I believe that you will grow up to be very beautiful. But if liking


    someone can be changed so easily, then it cannot be called liking at all. I think that when you grow up,


    you will meet a boy whom you like and who likes you back. That boy will surely be better than me!”


    The little girl listened with a mixture of understanding and


    confusion.


    Jasper was somewhat surprised by Roger’s words. He had always given her the impression of being


    rather cold and difficult to approach.


    Even though he had told her to be friends, Grace didn’t feel like she could open up to him like she


    would with a close


    friend.


    It’s like Roger always gives her a sense of distance, as if there’s a gap between them that’s not easy to


    cross.


    But now, as he speaks gently to the little girl, she suddenly feels that maybe he’s not as difficult to


    approach as he seems


    on the surface.


    After the little girl runs off, Jasper turns to Roger and says, “You don’t have to use me as a shield.


    When a child says she wants to marry you, it’s just because she likes you, not


    because she’ll actually marry you when she grows up. Children’s words aren’t always true.”


    “Do you really think children’s words aren’t always true?” he stands up and asks, his deep ck eyes


    staring straight at her.


    Jasper’s heart skips a beat and she feels inexplicably that his gaze is silently using her.


    But…what is he going to condemn? Just because of what she


    said earlier?


    “Adults don’t take children’s words seriously, but children take them seriously. Sometimes, they even


    engrave a sentence in

    their hearts for a lifetime,” he said.


    “Did you…have any words that were engraved in your heart when you were a child?” she couldn’t help


    but ask.


    “Yes,” he replied, “I had words from someone that I kept deep in my heart. Even if I wanted to forget, I


    couldn’t.”


    In an instant, she had a feeling that the person in front of her was like Lawrence! If…if he really was


    Lawrence…


    “Also, what I said earlier wasn’t to use you as a shield. I really like you and naturally, I want you to


    marry me in the future.”


    She was stunned, her cheeks suddenly turning red.


    “Or maybe you like William?” he asked.


    She thought about what William had said to her before, that


    he would wait for her to make a decision.


    She knew she liked William, but was it the childhood crush


    kind of like or did she like him as a man?


    She is not sure.
