“You’re with her, aren’t you?” Aimee questioned, making Jasper frown. Meanwhile, Aimee continued, “Jasper, if you
really like her, you should stay away from her and not move closer.”
“Aimee!” “Don’t let her become your weakness,” Aimee warned and hung up the phone. As Jasper held his phone,

his arms, and his gaze fell upon her.

him.
