Chapter 49 Arrange a Night for Me
Jasper didn’t hear what she said as he rushed straight upstairs and shut himself into the darkened bathroom.
Helena stood outside the living room door and continued to reason with him: “Jasper, will you listen to my explanation? There’s a real possibility that Reeva won’t be able to return. She has lived in the frontier for so many years, there must be someone she likes.”
“What is a woman’s greatest fear? Women are most afraid of falling in love!”
“Reeva will come back to honour the marriage contract if she has someone she loves? No way! Absolutely not!”
“If she doesn’t come back, I don’t have to leave. You don’t have a woman you like, I don’t have to leave either. Grandpa has the warranty, you have the covenant here, and I can’t escape from you if you don’t sign the divorce.”
Pressed up against the door and listened, she didn’t hear anything, it felt like there was no one inside.
Jasper hid in the bathroom in a depressed mood, unable to walk away from the hurt of the day:
She was the one who gave him up!
She gave up on him so easily!
He didn’t deserve to be fought for by her, let alone live with her!
He was only worthy of being a toolman! A toolman without feelings! He was only worthy of working and waiting! Endlessly working and waiting!
He did not deserve with what he wanted. He was a toolman, who only breathed!
“Ah-choo!”
Helena’s nose tickled and she sneezed: she was having a hard time living! She had been kicked out by Lyla when she was young, and now she was being kicked out by Jasper, when would she ever have a home of her own? She would not be kicked out! Not to be threatened!
She was so worried that she hugged herself tightly and sat on the steps, looking up at the night sky.
Jasper walked out of the bathroom, the room was so dark that he couldn’t see anything. He walked over to the bed and pulled open the drawer, grabbed a handful of pills and threw them into his mouth: toolman only deserves pills!
Helena was standing outside the door with nothing to do. She was groping in the dark to clean up the shoe cabinet and fold her clothes one by one. It was a bit chilly at night, so she added a windbreaker and wrapped herself up tightly before continuing to tap on the door: “Jasper, can you throw out my phone? I don’t have a phone, I can’t call you, so I can’t coax you out of your anger.”
“Jasper, you’ve thrown my clothes and shoes, can you throw some more money down for me? Without money, I can’t have a midnight snack, I can’t stay in a hotel, I can’t take a taxi. Jasper, throw some money down.”
“Jasper, why don’t you throw yourself down? I’ll take you, you take the money and we’ll go out for a late night snack.”
……
Still no response.
No matter what she shouted, Jasper did not give her the slightest response.
She was frustrated and sure that Jasper was really angry. She stopped shouting and walked out of the villa with small steps, “Jasper, I’m leaving, far away to keep you out of trouble. I’ll come back when your anger has subsided.”
She had no money on her. No mobile phone. No socks on yet.
She walked through the silent, rich district in slippers, not knowing where she was going. There were no taxis in this wealthy district during the day, not at night …… a silver sports car that pulled up beside her.
She was overjoyed.
Before she could say a word, her smile froze all over her face, not Jasper, but, “William, why are you here? Are you preparing to leave here, or have you just come in?”
William looked at her through the car window: just now he saw her back and felt like her, and when he stopped the car and took a look, it was really her: “How did you end up at Panyan Villa? How did you get in? Did you have a door card? Did a friend take you in?”
They asked each other and gave each other no answer.
Helena extended her hand towards him, “Don’t ask these questions first, lend me your phone to make a call first.” She was going to call Wendy. Let Wendy come so that she could stay in Wendy’s for a few days. Before Jasper’s anger subsided, it was best for her to stay away from him.
Wendy answered her call but didn’t understand what she meant: “You’re at Panyan Villa, why don’t you go stay at Jasper’s place? You didn’t take the key out? Did you get locked out? Or did you and Jasper have a quarrel?”
No, no, no, no quarrel!
Before, Wendy didn’t know Jasper well, after these ten days, she got to know him a little.
Jasper was a very warm man, he was thoughtful, he took the responsibility and was very gentlemanly. When Helena was injured, he took care of her day and night. Now that she was recovering from her injuries, how could he have quarrel with her?
Helena walked a little further away so that William wouldn’t hear her.
She walked to the unoccupied junction ahead and told Wendy about the day, “It’s eleven o’clock, I’ve been outside for three hours and he doesn’t want me to go in, so I guess he just doesn’t want to see me. Come and pick me up and I’ll go back to coax him when he is no longer angry. I don’t have anything at the moment, and I’ve still got a borrowed phone.”
Wendy said: “I’m on a business trip this afternoon, I’m in H City now, I can’t go back until three days later. Helena, I can’t go pick you up now, why don’t I call Jasper and ask him to come out and pick you up?”
Helena immediately refused: “Forget it! He’s not happy in his heart, and if you force him to come out to pick me up, he’ll only be more unhappy! It’s okay! You go on with your work first, I’ll think of another way!”
Wendy stopped her from hanging up, “Helena, you’ve been sleeping for the past ten days since you were injured, so you may not know how much he’s done for you. But I know because he would call me once a day to tell me not to worry about you.”
“……”
“Helena, although you haven’t spent much time together, I can feel that Jasper values you.”
“……”
“That kind of value is not the regard of repayment or of love at first sight, but a heartfelt fondness for you. He was terrified that something would happen to you, terrified that he would lose you. I don’t know why he felt this way about you in this short time, but I could feel that he really thought of you as the only one in his life.”
“……”
“So he’s angry today! Angry that you didn’t fight for him! Angry that you didn’t make him the only one!”
“……”
“Helena, he’s easy to coax, you call and coax him. You’ll only hurt him more if you ignore him.” Wendy advised bitterly, hoping that they would soon get back together. No matter what, she wanted them to stay together.
Helena thought about it, regardless of any relationship first, just this ten days of care …… She listened to Wendy’s advice and entered his number into her phone, only to find that William’s phone had his phone number with a note: Devil!
What was the situation?
The sound of a siren came from ahead, and it was William urging her on. She didn’t have time to think about it but dialed Jasper’s number.
A beeping sound followed, but no one answered. After repeatedly calling several times, there was still no connection. Frustrated once again, she turned to William for help, “I have no money or place to stay now. Please help, and I’ll pay you back.”
