Jessica didn't even bother to hide the contempt in her voice.
Larry curled his lips into a smirk. Looks like Caspian will fail to get her back.
"Why is it none of your business? If it wasn't for her, we would've already been..." Caspian muttered.
"Shut up!" Jessica retorted loudly. How dare he mention his promise?What a joke!
"I have other matters to attend to. I need to get going," Jessica announced and stormed out of the ward.
"Larry, what should I do?" Caspian clutched Larry's arm in desperation.
What else is there to be done?Just play the waiting gamelTime will solve everything. That was what Larry had in mind, but he merely shook his head regretfully.
If Caspian remained with Jessica without creating trouble, they would've been married by now. Alas, it was too late to regret now.
"Won't you go after her?" Joan urged.
Larry patted her shoulder as he explained, "There's no need for that. Jessica might be capricious, but she is still clear-headed enough not to delay or affect important affairs."
"Jessica, don't leave! I love you," declared Caspian. "Can't you give me another chance?" He tugged her arm and pleaded.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
"I'm sorry, but I never look back." "Don't say that! I know you still love me. My feelings for you remain unchanged. Why can't we start all over again?" Caspian blocked Jessica's exit hastily.
That sounds ridiculouslHe was the one who got drunk and slept with another woman. How dare he requests to get back together with me now? The nerve of him!
Jessica gritted her teeth as she stared at Caspian, tamping down the urge she had to tear him into pieces.
She schooled her expression and responded, "I'm sorry, but I need to go now."
