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 nce 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 intoughter. "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 intoughter 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 topromise 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 meugh 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 epting 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, "Ragarss of tha situation you''ra in, I would just lika to say to you
that if you''ra unhappy with him, justava him. Each of us hara only has ona shot at lifa, so why should
you ba tha ona having topromisa so much?"
As soon as Kata haard that, tha turbnt faalings that sha triad so hard to supprass, arosa onca again
as tha taars wad up naarly rod 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 vulnara 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 pao that don''t sarva you for tha highar good."
Kata acknodgad his words. I wish I could do that too, but I''m such a wuss! Ha''s tha only guy who
can maka maugh 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 apting him, sha was concarnad about har sincarity toward him.
"There is a hotpot restaurant over there. Let''s try it!" Jasper suggested.
Kate nced 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 beforeing to a stop in front of the restaurant. Subsequently,
the couple entered the ce after which the waiter led them to a table at the main dining area; each
table was a private booth. Nheless, the private booth was unlike a stuffy, private room without fresh
air as it feltfortable.
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 morefortable 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.
