Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 278

Maybe he did not like Melanie after all, but she gave him a different feeling because she was good at coaxing and soothing others. She had a sweet mouth, and so he would always have the feeling that he was needed when he was with her. On the other hand, Kate would pinch him the moment they met. In fact, she would even hit him, and they just didn’t seem like a couple. But why do I have the urge to cry when I hear the beeping sound over the phone? I feel that… I have truly lost her…

On the other side, Kate was staring at the familiar name across her phone screen. Her gaze was numb and hollow, and she didn’t want to answer the phone call. During this period, she was becoming more and more repulsed by his phone calls after each time. What does he want this time? Is he going to apologize? I don’t need that. Is he planning to explain himself? That’s not important either. I’ve been in love with him for seven years, and I’ve seen him having countless women by his side, one after another. I’ve been trying to convince myself that he will notice how wonderful I am one day. However, today… I just honestly do not want to hold onto him anymore. I’m exhausted. I wonder if people become unreasonable with age. He has had girlfriends in the past, but I had always felt that he was just fooling around. I’m guessing he is really in love with Melanie, huh? The situation is just like the touchstone of his true state of mind. If it weren’t for Melanie, I’d still be daydreaming about him. So what if we share a seven-year-long relationship? It collapsed at the first blow in front of his girlfriend!

The phone rang for the longest time, and it went on until it exhausted her battery, and her phone switched off automatically! The room finally quietened down.

Kate lay on the bed while having her eyes shut. Tears rolled down her tightly-shut eyes, and they trickled across the bridge of her nose before soaking into her pillow. Her eyelids were so swollen that they looked like walnuts within her eye sockets. Nevertheless, her memories were like upturned hooks. A gentle tug would have ripped her skin and flesh off her bones!

She wasn’t sure when she fell asleep, but she realized that the constant doorbell woke her. Kate listened to it for some time and realized that it was indeed her house doorbell. Hence, she got out of the bed to open the door. She was surprised that someone would drop by so early in the morning. Upon looking through the peephole, she saw that it was Jasper. She ran her fingers through her hair before opening the door. Shocked, she asked him, “Why are you here?”

Jasper seemed anxious. “I phoned you, but my calls did not get through, so I thought something happened to you.”

Kate was slightly embarrassed. “I forgot to charge my phone.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Jasper stared at her and regarded her carefully. “What happened to you? Why were you crying?”

Kate touched her face while trying to brush it off by commenting vaguely, “Nothing happened. Why were you looking for me?”

Jasper explained, “I come bearing good news. Haven’t you been trying to invite Jane Hays to shoot the cover for your watch? I have a friend who knows her, and it turns out Jane is currently in Mastar. She promised to give us two days for the photoshoot, and it’s free-of-charge. I was in a hurry to look for you; I was out of ideas, and so I had no choice but to come knocking on your door.”

Kate was surprised when she heard that. “Are you saying that Jane Hays agreed?”

Jasper answered, “Mm-hmm, and it’s free too. However, you might have to make a trip to Mastar with your shooting team.”

Kate smiled. I might be disappointed in the love department, but succeeding financially more than makes up for it. “These are small matters. In that case, when are we leaving?”

“It’s best to leave now because she is free tomorrow. We should grab the chance and arrive today, and we can start the photoshoot tomorrow. We’ll even have enough time to rest!” Jasper suggested.

Kate agreed. “Sure, we can do that. Come in and wait for me for a while. I’ll get changed!” Jasper grunted in acknowledgement.

Kate had always been pretty, and she usually wouldn’t take long to dress up. However, she cried too much last night, and so she spent a lot of time on eye make-up today. After that, she packed a suitcase for herself. An hour had passed by the time she was done packing. She then broke the silence apologetically. “I’m sorry I took a while!”
