NovelEnglishChapter 307 There’s No Turning Back Keeping her eyes glued to Landon, Kate walked straight ahead stiffly in a robotic manner behind
Jasper. In fact, Landon had no idea that Kate would be back today and he had never expected to see
her with Jasper.
All at once, he felt like something had pierced through his heart, leaving a gaping hole through which
icy wind kept on finding its way inside. Over the past few days, he had been lingering around her place
to wait for her because he had a lot of things to tell her. However, the moment he saw Jasper putting
his arm around her shoulder, he felt as though his neck was strangled by someone and all the words
he planned to say were stuck in his throat. Had they really started dating each other? Seeing them
walking past him as if he was non-existent, he blurted out in a fit of panic, “Kate,” Kate froze in her
tracks for one second and took a deep breath before she went on without stopping. “Kate, I have
something to tell you!” His voice contained a note of anxiety and a trace of imploration Letting out a

right back.” Jasper wasn’t too happy to hear that and he started eyeing Landon disdainfully. However,
he didn’t say anything for Kate’s sake as he took the key readily and said with a smile, “Okay. I can
cook the rice but I guess I have to count on you to prepare the rest of the dishes.” Kate responded with
a gentle smile, “That’s good enough because there are plenty of guys out there who don’t even know
how a rice cooker works.” Jasper cast a glimpse at Landon before saying, “I think I should learn a thing
or two from you later so that I can cook for you in the future!” Kate could tell that he actually meant it for
Landon. In fact, there wasn’t any point for him to make a remark like that because she no longer cared
about what Landon thought now. With a wide grin, she answered, “Sure!” After making sure that Jasper
had gone to her place, Kate spun around to face Landon and took a deep breath. “What is it that you
would like to say?” Keeping his eyes on her all the time, Landon asked, “Do you really fancy him?” “It’s
just a matter of time.”
She said she would fall in love with him soon! Landon felt his chest tighten when he heard her answer
and at the same time, he wondered how deeply he had hurt her to make her hate him so much. Then,
he took two steps forward and said, “Kate, I’ve sorted out my feelings to be sure that you’re the one I
like, not Melanie. Please give me another chance.”
Out of instinct, Kate retreated and made a cross sign with her arm to keep him from getting too close.
“What’s your problem? Are you doing this because you’re pitying me? Don’t worry because I’m not that
weak and I have plenty of companions. Also, don’t think I’m that bad-looking to end up being a spinster
without you.”
Looking anxious, Landon took another step forward and insisted, “Kate, I really meant what I said. After
spending the past few days thinking about us, I’ve finally realized how stupid I am for not being able to
tell your feelings for me and for hurting you over and over again. I can finally understand how you must
have felt before this when I saw you with Jasper…” Once again, Kate stepped backward and snapped,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh, can you just do me a favor and stop bringing the past up? I only managed to forget some of that
crap over the past few days. Landon, there’s no turning back for both of us now. Not only can’t we
become a couple, but we can’t even be friends because the sight of you reminds me of how foolish I
was! I’ve never pinned any blame on you because you have the right to like whoever you want. The
problem lies with me who fell head over heels in love with you and stubbornly refused to give up when
it was so obvious that there wasn’t any hope between us. Now that I’m finally able to come to myself,
stop trying to haul me back to that hopeless pit!” When he heard Kate’s croaky voice, it wasn’t an
understatement to describe the pain in Landon’s heart as an excruciating one. “Kate, it’s my fault to fall
for Melanie’s flattery and I know I’ve let you down and hurt you very badly. Please don’t push me away
so firmly now because you should take your time to cool down and think about…” “Can you just stop
mentioning her name in my presence? I’m not interested in the stuff between Melanie and you!” Kate
didn’t give him a chance to even finish his sentence by snarling at him, “Falling in love with you is the
biggest mistake I’ve made in my life! It’s been seven years! Landon, I had been in love with you for
seven years but I never thought that I would still have to earn your trust and prove my innocence by a
voice recording. I’m really tired of having anything to do with you so just do me a favor and get out of
my life!”
