“Laura, that child was a
as a mistake. I was drunk–it meant nothing
only suggested adopting the baby because I didn’t want you to matter through IVF.
“I never had feelings for Rosemary. Hease, forgive me one more time
Lincoln’s shamelessness truly exceeded all my expectations.
Before I could respond Rosemary, unable to bear bearing his words, rushed forward to confront hem.
But Lincoln, with a cold glare, slapped her to the ground]
“Getleri You were just a plaything to me. What right do you have to question me?”,
Turning his fierce gare hack to Rosemary, he then looked at me with pleading eyes.
Laura. 10 get rid of her right now! Let go back and get married, please
1 was so infuriated by Lincoln’s audacity that i nearly laughed |
“Linenia. I will never porry you. The person. I’m marrying is Jasper Winston!”
At that moment, Jarper approached, wrapping a comforting arm around my waist
“Laura, it’s almost e. Let’s begin the angagement ceremony,” he said gently.
“No! You can’t marry him I won’t allow you to marry him! Lincoln shouted, his voice filled with desperation.
“Uncle has been in love
in love with someone else for over a decade! Hell never truly love your”
“You’ll never be happy with him. I’m the only one who truly loves you!“]]
Hearing this, a dangerous glint flashed in Jaspers eyes as he flood a deadly glare on Lincoln
If it weren’t for the faint thread of familial ties between them. Lincoln’s actions would have warranted a much harsher punishment.
Lincoln, still shouting and trying to charge at us, was quickly subdued by the bodyguards on Mr. Winston’s orders.]
No matter how much he struggled, it was futile ||
In the end, both Lincoln and Rosemary were thrown out of the engagement banquet.
Under the witness of the guests, Jesper and I completed our engagement ceremony ]
After the banquet, paper took me to see the fireworks display he had arranged for me.
His friends approached us with champagne, offering their heartfelt congratulations.
Sorry for causing so much trouble during what should’ve been a perfect engagement banquet..” I said, feeling guilty:
Jasper didn’t blame me at all. Instead, he pulled me gently into his arms
Laura this wasn’t your fault. There’s no need to apologize
Hai understanding and kindness only made me feel more unsented
After a moment of thought I decided to tell him the truch
“Actually, Mrs. Winston was right. I lost the ability to have children after the car accident,” I said hesitantly ||
I thought it over and decided to tell you. If you regren-“]
Before I

Confused, I took it and looked closely, only to wadeti na ryes in shock.]
This phom the person in it–is that me?“]]
Jasper looked at me with a gentle, affectionate gaze and nodded|||
“I need to be honest with you about something.” he began, “about the rumors of me having a ‘first love that I’ve cherished for years.-“||
Realization dawned on me, and I pointed at myself uncertainty
Are you saying I’m the one you’ve been in love with all these years?||
Through Jasper’s words, 1 learned about the deep and patient love be had harbored for me over so many years||
Before he went abroad, he had spent a long time loving in the Winston family’s old estare
Because of his reserved personality and poor health, none of the other children wanted to play with him.||
At the time, I was the only one who, while following Linenin around, would pay attraction to

Tot only brought him food every day but also told him jokes to cheer him up.[]
Jasper held my hand tightly, his rare vulnerability shining through as he spoke earnestly
“Laura, I fell for you a long time ago, but I never got the chance to tell you.
“By the time I returned to the country and heard about you again, you were already with Lincoln.”
“So every time I came back. I could only watch you from afar, never daring to disturb you –||
1 thought I would just continue like that, until the day your mother called me.“}]
