Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 355

When Anna got out of the car, she noticed that she had come to the house she used to live. She exclaimed, “I remember that | sold this, house.”

Lily explained, “Jasper was worried you don’t like living in another house. So, after you left, he asked me to buy this house.”

Hearing that, Anna had mixed feelings. As she entered the house, she discovered that the furnishings in the house were nearly identical to what she had seen before. There was a Christmas tree near the fireplace. The tree was beautifully decorated and very Christmassy. “Jasper decorated this tree himself before Christmas.”

Anna asked as she touched the silver bells on the tree, “Oh? Did he invite his friends to spend the holidays here? He threw a party here every year, and it was always a blast.”

Lily replied, “No. He spent the night here alone on Christmas Eve.”

Anna’s hand froze. “By himself?” she asked, slowly turning her head back to look at Lily.

When Anna was in America, Jasper would plan every holiday for a month in advance. He would roast the turkey, choose the gifts, and even prepare the games and food for the party. So, Anna thought he was just a guy who liked to celebrate the holidays.

Lily nodded slightly and looked very sorrowful. She said, “Yes. Actually, he doesn’t have many friends in America. His friends are his coworkers, and they aren’t close. After you left, every holiday became just an ordinary day for him.” 355 You’re So Cruel

Lily knew Jasper differently from the way Anna knew him. She helped Jasper establish and grow his business. So, whenever she saw him, he was troubled by his work. However, regardless of how worried he was, he always smiled at Anna.

When the company was in a merger crisis, he even spent considerable time decorating the Christmas tree and buying gifts for Anna and Tammy. Lily wanted to help him, but he refused her. So, Lily believed that Jasper loved Anna deeply. And she even thought that no one else would love Anna more than Jasper.

Anna became restless when she realized Lily was staring at her and said, “Oh, I’d better stay in a hotel.”

“Just give it to me, thank you,” she said to that assistant, who was about to carry her luggage to the second floor.

Lily stopped her and said, “Don’t go, Anna. You should stay here, and everything can remain the same as before.”

“It won’t be the same because everyone has their own life,” Anna said as she drew the suitcase to her side and turned slowly.

Lily said flatly, “Don’t you think you’re being cruel now? How come you never said anything like that in the last five years? He was very nice to you and gave you everything you desired, Now, you got tired of him and left him. How could you do that?”

Anna sighed with relief and said, “Oh, I see why you brought me here. It was your own decision, not his, right?”

Lily frowned, irritated, and asked, “What’s the difference? | have to make you realize how nice he treats you. You’ve only known for so many years that he treats you well. But have you ever considered what he has done for you? Have you ever considered why he treats you so well?” “Tell me, what do you expect me to do? Do you want me to go to his 355 You’re So Cruel office right now and talk to him? ‘Jasper, why don’t we actually get married? | know you love me, and I love you very much. I’ll stay for you.’ You want me to say that?”

Anna gazed at Lily calmly and said, “You think Jasper is nice to me and will even meet my every request? But even though we are married, he still treats me as a friend. He hasn’t asked me to respond to his feelings in any way. Why do you think he does that? Do you think he’s afraid he’ll be rejected?”

“Isn’tit?”” Lily asked, looking at her.

Anna said thoughtfully, “He didn’t do this because he worried about losing me. Even if we stay together, there’s a chance we’ll break up. In that case, he’d have even more to be worried about. Jasper was abandoned by the love of his life when he was in his twenties, and it had nothing to do with Anna He doesn’t believe in love and doesn’t care about me. His feelings for me are an unbreakable expectation. You’ve known him longer than | have, so you’re more aware of what’s on his mind than | am.”

Lily went into a trance and froze.

“I’m going to stay in a hotel tonight. Tell Jasper I’m too tired to see him today, please. By the way, tell him to have dinner with me tomorrow night.”

After Lily left, Anna went straight to a hotel. Then she took a shower and lay on the bed to video chat with Wayne on the computer.

She said, “Wayne, honey. I’m perfectly fine! What’s wrong? You’re worried | won’t go back, huh?”

“I don’t think you’re going to leave Tammy behind,” Wayne laughed.

Anna sprung up from her bed as if she had realized something, She 355 You’re So Cruel said, “It’s no surprise you recently signed her up for a winter camp trip to Iceland. How dare you ‘kidnap’ her!”

Wayne chuckled and said, “No! That’s not true. Anna, | have a lot of faith in you, but this little one is weak-willed. I’m afraid if Jasper is nice to her, she will choose to stay in America. Instead of having Jasper kidnap her, I’l make the first move.”

Anna rolled her eyes at him and said, “Ha! Bad move, Wayne.” While they were talking, her phone rang.

“I’ll take a call.” Anna set her computer aside. She hesitated for a moment when she saw the caller ID before answering, “Hello.”

“Hello, Anna, It’s me,” Jasper said.
