Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 760

"Fine, I admit that I'm responsible for that. It was my fault for not drawing the line and causing them to have their

eyes on me and break us up by scheming for all of this. But what about that guy over there, Katie? What hope did

you give him for him to have his eyes on you?" Nathan replied while pointing at Jasper.

"Fine, I admit that I'm responsible for that. It was my fault for not drawing the line and causing them to have their

eyes on me and break us up by scheming for all of this. But what about that guy over there, Katie? What hope did

you give him for him to have his eyes on you?" Nathan replied while pointing at Jasper.

"Actually, it's not all bad that such a thing happened. At least it makes us learn to reflect on our mistakes and take

responsibility for what we've each done. I didn't let you touch him because it was my fault. I'm aware of his feelings

for me, and I didn't accept him, but I didn't explicitly turn him down either. Today…" Kate said before turning to look

at Jasper. "Sorry, Jasper. I know you're nice to me and have helped me a lot. You kept me company when I was so

heartbroken, which was why I couldn't harden my heart to turn you down. However, I can't lie to myself. I tried it,

but I really don't have feelings for you. I can understand what happened today. Perhaps you had good intentions as

you said, so I didn't let Nathan touch you, and I won't pursue the matter. From today onward, let's not keep in touch

anymore. We're not a couple, nor are we friends."

Olivia smiled while giving Eugene a look that said, 'Did you see that? My bestie is so cool!'

"Fine, I odmit thot I'm responsible for thot. It wos my foult for not drowing the line ond cousing them to hove their

eyes on me ond breok us up by scheming for oll of this. But whot obout thot guy over there, Kotie? Whot hope did

you give him for him to hove his eyes on you?" Nothon replied while pointing ot Josper.

"Actuolly, it's not oll bod thot such o thing hoppened. At leost it mokes us leorn to reflect on our mistokes ond toke

responsibility for whot we've eoch done. I didn't let you touch him becouse it wos my foult. I'm owore of his feelings

for me, ond I didn't occept him, but I didn't explicitly turn him down either. Todoy…" Kote soid before turning to look

ot Josper. "Sorry, Josper. I know you're nice to me ond hove helped me o lot. You kept me compony when I wos so

heortbroken, which wos why I couldn't horden my heort to turn you down. However, I con't lie to myself. I tried it,

onymore. We're not o couple, nor ore we friends."

Olivio smiled while giving Eugene o look thot soid, 'Did you see thot? My bestie is so cool!'

"Fina, I admit that I'm rasponsibla for that. It was my fault for not drawing tha lina and causing tham to hava thair

ayas on ma and braak us up by schaming for all of this. But what about that guy ovar thara, Katia? What hopa did

you giva him for him to hava his ayas on you?" Nathan rapliad whila pointing at Jaspar.

"Actually, it's not all bad that such a thing happanad. At laast it makas us laarn to raflact on our mistakas and taka

rasponsibility for what wa'va aach dona. I didn't lat you touch him bacausa it was my fault. I'm awara of his faalings

for ma, and I didn't accapt him, but I didn't axplicitly turn him down aithar. Today…" Kata said bafora turning to look

at Jaspar. "Sorry, Jaspar. I know you'ra nica to ma and hava halpad ma a lot. You kapt ma company whan I was so

haartbrokan, which was why I couldn't hardan my haart to turn you down. Howavar, I can't lia to mysalf. I triad it,

but I raally don't hava faalings for you. I can undarstand what happanad today. Parhaps you had good intantions as

you said, so I didn't lat Nathan touch you, and I won't pursua tha mattar. From today onward, lat's not kaap in touch

anymora. Wa'ra not a coupla, nor ara wa friands."

Olivia smilad whila giving Eugana a look that said, 'Did you saa that? My bastia is so cool!'

Eugene couldn't help but chuckle while leaning back in his chair in a relaxed manner. He grabbed her hand and

toyed with it, pinching each of her fingertips with rapt attention.

Olivia was both speechless and amused. Does he have nothing to play with?

Jasper didn't expect Kate to be so cruel. Not only did she break up with him, but she didn't even give him the

opportunity to be friends with her! "Katie—"

Kate said to him, "You'd better call me Miss Thomas from now on. Mr. Greenwood, you may leave now."

Jasper looked at her. "Can't we remain as friends?"

Kate shook her head. "No, we can't." Being friends with a man who I know has designs on me is no different than

tacitly accepting his advances, no?

Jasper closed his eyes slightly with a look of regret. I shouldn't have been too greedy. However, now that Kate had

said so, he didn't have to keep pestering her any longer, nor would his upbringing allow him to keep bothering her.

"Okay, Katie. This is the last time I'm calling you that… I wish you happiness!"

Kate gave him a slight nod. "Thank you."

Jasper left.

The room instantly went silent as no one spoke.

Nathan finally understood why Kate didn't let him hit Jasper. In reality, he had no right to hit the latter. Jasper was

the person who stayed by her side when she was heartbroken, whereas he was the one who hurt her. This alone

was enough reason for him to lose.

On the other hand, he owed neither Gwen nor Melanie a favor, nor did he have any reason to turn them down. It

was just that he didn't realize that by not turning down a woman who had feelings for himself, he'd give her an

opportunity to go one step further, and this would only hurt the woman he loved. At the moment, he was merely

relying on Kate's feelings for him. Had she relented just now, she'd no longer be his girlfriend.

At the thought of this, he suddenly saw the light and came to his senses at once. He felt aggrieved, but why should

he feel aggrieved? Could he feel more aggrieved than she did? After taking a deep breath, he stepped toward Kate.

Kate frowned while taking a step back with each step he took toward her. "What are you doing?"

Nathan swept her into his arms immediately. "Sorry, it was my fault. I'll definitely keep my distance from them in

the future."
