Chapter 3568
“Well…then I’ll go with you,” she quickly said.
“You’ll come with me?”
“Yes, I have nothing else to do, so I’ll accompany you to the bookstore. Besides, I also want to buy a few books.” She smiled, since he hadn’t finished his milk tea yet.
He glanced at her and didn’t say anything more.
The two of them arrived at the bookstore, where Roger began browsing the shelves for books. Valda quickly took the bubble tea from his hand and said, “Let me hold this for you. You can focus on choosing your books. Once you’ve made your selection, make sure to drink it within an hour for the best taste. Otherwise, it won’t be as good.”
“Okay,” he responded, noticing that she was particularly insistent on him having milk tea today.
Jasper walked over to the rest area of the bookstore and found some tables and chairs. She chose an empty table and sat down, picking up a comic book to read. Although her eyes were fixed on the book, she kept stealing glances at Roger who was not far away.
So far, he hasn’t even had a sip of milk tea. She initially
thought this task wasn’t difficult, but now she’s starting to doubt herself.
Can she really get the straw with his saliva on it smoothly
today?
And Roger… could he be Lawrence? This guess flashed through her mind once again.
At the moment, Roger is leaning against this side of the bookshelf, flipping through a book in his hand. The light from the lamp and the outdoor sunshine blend together, shining on him, making him look as if he is enveloped in a halo of light.
William’s investigation into Roger reveals a lot of uncertainty before the age of 14.
So, it’s highly likely that he is Lawrence.
She was lying on the desk, with her hands propping up her head, looking at him sideways. The warm sunshine shone through the French windows and onto her body, making her fatigue even more apparent. Jasper unknowingly fell asleep like this.
When Roger approached the table, Jasper had his eyes closed and a slight smile on his lips, as if he were dreaming of
something pleasant.
He furrowed his brows slightly. Does this woman really have no sense of caution?
She fell asleep in the bookstore like that, isn’t she afraid that someone might do something to her?!
After hesitating for a moment, he took off his coat and draped it over her. Then he sat across from her, lowered his head, and looked at the book in his hand.
Time passes by little by little, as if it’s warm and beautiful.
Jasper felt like she had a beautiful dream where she saw Lawrence again, but she couldn’t remember the details when she woke up.
As she opened her eyes, she saw rows and rows of bookshelves and all the books… She suddenly realized that she was in a bookstore!
She… she fell asleep in a bookstore?!
Where was Roger?!
Jasper sat up straight and quickly turned her head, only to find Roger sitting in front of her with a thick original language book open in front of him, reading with his head down.
“I’m sorry… I… fell asleep,” she said, feeling embarrassed,
“Are you used to falling asleep in public like that without any warning?” he asked.
“Of course not!” she retorted.
