Chapter 359 You i***t
After hearing her words, Jasper looked up and asked, "Will you stay if I ask you to?"
Anna froze, not knowing how to respond.
Jasper calmly looked at her and said, "I already knew this.If you've already decided to leave, I won't be able to keep you no matter how hard I try."
Anna remained silent, knowing that it was not the time to speak for Lily.
When it came to making a decision, Jasper was always firm.
Then she asked jokingly, "You're putting too much pressure on me, as if I were cheating on you.Are you going to accuse me of cheating in court?"
Jasper looked at her, serious but innocent.
"Didn't you?" he asked.
"Come on, stop joking with me," Anna exclaimed.
The waiter then placed a plate in front of Anna and said, "Ma'am, here's your dish."
They both burst out laughing when they saw the kidney pie inside the massive white plate.
Jasper said, "After we file our application with the court, we must wait for six months for a review.It will be good if everything goes well.But you'll have to come here again when the trial arrives."
Hearing that, Anna nodded.
Meanwhile, Karl was in the nursing home, worried about his best friend's marriage.
Peace asked him what he was thinking, and he told her everything.
Peace then asked suspiciously, "So, that's what you've been worried about these days? Do you think Jasper is using my illness and their divorce to keep Anna here?"
"Yes, otherwise, why would he want you to stay here any longer?"
Peace fell silent, his gaze fixed on him.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Peace smacked the pillow she was holding into his face and exclaimed, "What on earth were you thinking?! You're such a moron!"
Karl fell from the bed to the floor because he didn't see it coming, which caught him off guard.
Peace then grabbed Karl by the collar and led him to the doctor.She asked him what he had said to the nurse that day when she entered the office.
The doctor froze before replying, "That was one of the two treatment options the attending doctor gave to Jasper.The first one is a quick treatment with huge side effects.The second is the opposite, and that hurts you a little less.To save money, most patients choose the first option."
Karl finally understood what they were talking about.
Peace slapped him on the head angrily and then said, "You're simply overthinking! Stop making a fool of yourself and let's get out of here."
Karl rubbed his chin before the following Peace back to the ward.
Before he got halfway, he slapped his head and exclaimed, "Oops, I've gotten into trouble again!"
"What? What did you do this time?"
"I told Wayne about it, and he'll probably be here in a few days," Karl frowned.
Peace looked surprised, then asked, "What on earth were you thinking? You’re unbelievable!"
In a panic, Karl exclaimed, "So, what should I do now? He was furious at me the last time I got him into trouble.I'm screwed!"
"I can't save you this time.You'll have to face this on your own," Peace said, rolling her eyes at him.
She then slammed the door shut, shutting him out.
Karl sighed as he realized he had offended two people.
The following afternoon, Anna and Jasper went to the notary's office and filed their papers.
They were well prepared, so they could divorce in six months if things went smoothly.
As the two of them walked out of the hall, Jasper asked, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I'm not busy right now, so I can show you around.By the way, you can talk to me about what's going on between you and Wayne."
Anna was about to respond when she noticed a tall man looking at her from the bottom of the steps.
He was looking at her with a soft gaze and a smile.
Anna exclaimed, "Wayne! Hi!"
Then she dashed down the stairs and jumped into his arms.
Wayne stepped back, rubbed her hair, and exclaimed, "You look so happy to see me!"Anna raised her head and said, "Of course I'm happy! What brings you here?"
"I was afraid someone would take you away."
"What? You don't believe me? "
"I think he probably doesn't trust me," Jasper said at this point.
Anna's face flushed as she realized Jasper was still present, and she let go of Wayne's waist with an embarrassed smile.
"Wayne's here because he's worried I won't let you go, isn't he?" asked Jasper sarcastically.
"I believe it is best for you to be cautious when you’re around others."
"What exactly do you mean? So, if you say so, I'd better do something to live up to your expectations.
"I'm already here, so there's nothing you can do about it."
They were about to have another argument.
Anna couldn't help but elbow Wayne in the waist and say, "Okay, shut up.Jasper isn't that kind of guy, Wayne.Don't get upset, Jasper.He's just joking."
"But I don't think that's funny," Jasper winked.
Wayne immediately said, "That's because I never joke with people, and I didn't just now."
Anna sighed, realizing how difficult it was to be a peacemaker.
Because Wayne had arrived in America, they would have to take him with them whatever they did this afternoon.
Jasper had already made plans for them, and Anna had promised him they would do so a long time ago.
But it would be disastrous if all three of them hung out together.
Anna considered it for a while and decided that the best thing to do was cancel the plans.
She thought that everything would be fine if the two men found a reason to excuse themselves.
So, Anna immediately said, "I'm not going, I'm too tired.." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jasper remained silent, much to her surprise.
He simply looked at Wayne and asked, "She isn't going.So, how about you? Do you want to join me for a drink?"
Anna's heart began to race immediately.
"Yes, let's go," Wayne said with a nod.
"I'd better come with you guys!" Anna said nervously.
"You see, it's a men’s night out," Jasper explained.
Wayne nodded and said, just before Anna said anything, "You can go back to the hotel now, honey.Don't wait for me.Anna froze, then looked at Jasper and Wayne and found both appeared serious.She was at a loss for what to do.
