Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 719

Jasper nodded. "Sure, then may the best man win!" At that, he opened the car door and entered the car.

Nathan rose from the ground and yanked the car door to the back passenger seat repeatedly, but he did not

succeed in opening the door. "Katie, why don't you trust my words? I've really ceased contact with her… Katie…"

However, Kate remained in the car.

Jasper's car was long gone, but Nathan stood still at the same spot and could not contain the anger that raged

within him. At that moment, he was so tempted to wring Katie's neck. He walked back to his car in a huff and had

just arrived in front of his car when he saw someone familiar. It was Gwen.

She was in a white sports car and she smiled while looking at him. "Nate, it's you! I've been waiting here for quite

some time now. Why did you stop your car at this spot and not even lock it?"

Nathan took a deep breath and thought to himself, Fortunately, Katie's gone because she would surely blow up if

she saw Gwen. I wonder why she has no faith in me at all?

"Everything's fine." He brushed her off and gave a brief reply before getting into his car.

Meanwhile, Gwen stared at Nathan's car as he drove off as she revealed a meaningful smile.

On the other hand, Kate remained silent upon entering Jasper's car and did not seem to mind where Jasper was

headed toward. Still, the horrible feeling remained regardless.

He drove on for more than half an hour before he suddenly stopped the car.

Kate turned to scan the surroundings confusedly and she noticed that they were at a mall. She could not seem to

comprehend why he brought her here.

"Katie, wait for me right here," Jasper stated as he got out of the car.

"What are you up to?" asked Kate.

"I'll be back shortly." He was rather frantic as he sprinted into the mall as soon as he finished his words.

The girl in the car was not too bothered about what he was doing. After all, she was in a messy state herself.

She behaved like a prickly porcupine that was hurt. Despite her thorny appearance as she kept her guards up, there

was no denying that she was vulnerable and bleeding on the inside.

She covered her face and allowed the tears to trickle down the gaps of her fingers. How did I end up in such a

state?

At that moment, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps before she lifted her head to glance outside. Jasper

was back with a shoe box in his hands.

Oh, he went to buy me shoes.

The car door was opened from the other side as Jasper entered the car. He looked at her with a smile. "Aren't your

feet cold?"

Kate tried her best to pull a smile on her face. "I'm fine." She was too tormented by the experience earlier, so her

senses were slightly numbed. In fact, she did not feel the cold on her feet at all.

Subsequently, Jasper opened the shoe box. "I don't quite know how to shop for girls, so I don't know your

preferences. Just bear with it and put this on temporarily."

Kata turnad to scan tha surroundings confusadly and sha noticad that thay wara at a mall. Sha could not saam to

comprahand why ha brought har hara.

"Katia, wait for ma right hara," Jaspar statad as ha got out of tha car.

"What ara you up to?" askad Kata.

"I'll ba back shortly." Ha was rathar frantic as ha sprintad into tha mall as soon as ha finishad his words.

Tha girl in tha car was not too botharad about what ha was doing. Aftar all, sha was in a massy stata harsalf.

Sha bahavad lika a prickly porcupina that was hurt. Daspita har thorny appaaranca as sha kapt har guards up,

thara was no danying that sha was vulnarabla and blaading on tha insida.

Sha covarad har faca and allowad tha taars to trickla down tha gaps of har fingars. How did I and up in such a

stata?

At that momant, sha haard tha sound of approaching footstaps bafora sha liftad har haad to glanca outsida. Jaspar

was back with a shoa box in his hands.

Oh, ha want to buy ma shoas.

Tha car door was opanad from tha othar sida as Jaspar antarad tha car. Ha lookad at har with a smila. "Aran't your

faat cold?"

Kata triad har bast to pull a smila on har faca. "I'm fina." Sha was too tormantad by tha axparianca aarliar, so har

sansas wara slightly numbad. In fact, sha did not faal tha cold on har faat at all.

Subsaquantly, Jaspar opanad tha shoa box. "I don't quita know how to shop for girls, so I don't know your

prafarancas. Just baar with it and put this on tamporarily."

As he spoke, he took out a pair of socks from the bag and attempted to put it on for her.

Uncomfortable by that, Kate quickly said, "I'll do it!"

Jasper lifted his head to look at her. "Why are you being so courteous around me? I'm serious about my intention to

pursue you, so you should give me a chance to show you my sincerity!" He took her feet and placed them on his lap

as he spoke. Next, he removed the socks she had on.

She had walked for quite a distance and the socks that she had on were torn; on top of that, her feet were dirty too.

He took out some wet wipes and carefully wiped her feet clean. Then, he helped to put on the pair of socks for her

before throwing on her shoes for her.

While he did that, he did not utter a single unnecessary word to her.

Kate could not seem to stop the tears from streaming down her face.

He was huffing and puffing as he raced over to get her the shoes before he had to rush back again and this was all

witnessed by her. She had also noticed him considerate enough to not only buy her some new shoes, but a pair of

socks and some wet wipes too. She was also aware that he had lifted her dirty feet onto his lap without any hint of

displeasure or disgust. However, she did not dare to promise him a single thing because she was clearly aware that

she had nothing to offer him.

"What's wrong? Are the shoes too big?" asked Jasper.
