Chapter 190
Liana felt Indignant when she heard Jasper say the word “forced.”
That was the first time Liana took the initiative to kiss him first. How could he see it as being forced?
“But Jasper, I’m your fiancée! How could you? How could you say that of me?” Liana’s eyes reddened with tears.
“You knew from the start that I never liked women who made the first move, nor can I tolerate intimate acts.” Jasper’s tone was icy.
Liana muttered, “I know I’ve always known.
Liana knew that due to his upbringing and childhood trauma, he always had a hard time being intimate with the opposite S**. Being able to communicate his emotions was already a big improvement for him.
He was such a fine man. If it hadn’t been Alyssa who took him away from her, it would have been some other woman.
Jasper’s hand curled into a fist, recalling Alice’s cold gaze from afar. “You say you’ve always known, but you seem to have wilfully forgotten about it since we started dating again.”
What was this emotion he was feeling?
It felt like he had made a grave mistake. Guilt flooded his being, yet he couldn’t tell what he had done wrong.
He had never felt so helpless in his life.
“But we’re about to marry, Jasper!” Liana yelled, trying to lean into Jasper’s chest. “We’re not children anymore. We can’t just hold hands
forever! We’re supposed to share a bed and have children together one day!”
Jasper had thought marrying Liana was what he wanted.
But why did it feel less like the truth the closer they got to the wedding date?
Only fear and doubt plagued him now.
The venue door suddenly opened, and Jonah walked out with lumbering footsteps.
Jasper thought he might be drunk and didn’t follow him.
Liana, meanwhile, had a devious grin on her face.
Meanwhile, Alyssa had changed back into her original clothes backstage. She was about to leave when a maid ran up to her.
“Ms. White! Something has happened! Something has happened to Mr. Taylor. He’s currently resting in one of the guestrooms. You should check on him. He looked like he was in serious pain!”
Upon hearing this, Alyssa nodded. “Lead the way!”
After Jasper and Jonah left the table, Landon was left alone in the venue. Feeling bored, he decided to take a walk in the gardens.
Fairy lights and retro street lamps were scattered here and there in the garden, forming quite the sight with the inky blue sky and its
glittering stars.
Landon thought the lamps had a beautiful warm light, like individual drops of moonlight. The sound of crickets chimed from the background as he strolled.
Just then, he stopped in his tracks and turned around. “Show yourself!”
With a firm swallow, he asked, “Who’s there?”
