Chapter 3588
“If you don’t like William that much, why not consider me instead?” Roger approached Jasper, suddenly leaned in, his head close to her cheek, and his lips close to her ear, whispering softly.
His gentle voice was almost like a charm!
Jasper’s face turned even redder! She instinctively turned her head away, covering her hot ears, “You–”
“Of course, if you’re not interested in me at all, you can just say so,” he said. “Jasper, do you really not have any feelings for me at all?”
She was speechless. “I just… see you as a friend.”
“As a friend?” He suddenly chuckled. “Do you really see me as a friend? Do you see Roger as a friend? Or are you just looking for a shadow of ‘Lawrence’ in me?”
She froze, not knowing how to respond to his words.
From the beginning, she had only approached him because of his similarities to Lawrence.
And his piano, his appearance, and the mole on his neck all seemed to prove that he was Lawrence!
After a while, she spoke, “Roger, if you really are Lawrence, why won’t you admit it? Is there some hidden reason? Or do you hate me? I…I just want an answer, I…I just hope…you’re living well…”
Her voice was already choking up.
But he looked at her expressionlessly, as if he didn’t care about her sadness and distress. “Do you want Roger to live. well? Or do you want Lawrence, as you call him, to live well?”
She looked at him in confusion.
“Jasper, I am not Lawrence. Why do you refuse to acknowledge that? Do you have to project Lawrence’s traits onto me? Is it only if I were Lawrence that you would feel better?” he said.
His words were like a sharp sword, brutally exposing the side of her that she didn’t want to admit, causing a sharp pain in
her heart.
Yes, she hopes that he is Lawrence, at least it would prove that Lawrence is still alive and doing well.
Instead of leaving nothing but bones, there is nothing left in
this world!
“If you only see me as Lawrence and want to be friends with me, then I think we may never truly become friends,” Roger said before turning around and leaving.
Jasper watched as he walked away and couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
After finishing up at the orphanage, Jasper and Meave headed back to school together. Meave couldn’t help but mutter, “Why did Roger leave by himself?”
“He didn’t come with us in the first place, so it’s not a big deal if he leaves early,” Jasper replied.
“But we all go to the same school, so we could have gone back together. Plus, he knows you too!” Meave argued.
