Natalie’s eyes widened. Thinking that Frederick Addington was still behind them, she didn’t have time to explain in detail. She wanted to take Jasper away immediately.
Jasper Milton shook her hand off with a cold face.
Natalie Wheeler was stunned.
She knew that Jasper was angry, so she kept her head lowered and walked forward.
Jasper gritted his teeth and held her arm. He then turned around and walked to the other side.
There were two guards standing at the exit on the other side.
Jasper handed his credentials to the guard. After scanning it, the guard let them in.
Jasper didn’t say anything after coming out from the exit. He grabbed her and continued to walk forward.
Natalie saw that the corridor was pretty much empty, so she could roughly guess that this was the passage towards a private plane.
He took her into the lounge and let go of her hand. He looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, “Tell me why you came to Paris.”
Natalie looked at Jasper deeply.
It was better not to lie. Otherwise, she would have to keep telling lies to keep up with this lie. If she told too many lies, it would not be easy for her to turn back.
Moreover, lies were not facts. If she was not careful enough, she could easily make a logical mistake.
“I did start a relationship with Allen. Since it’s going to end, I think it’s better to end it in person.” Natalie said in a low voice.
Jasper’s fierce expression eased a little, “You could have told me that you came here to break up with him. Do you know how worried I was?”
“It’s my business to break up with Allen. Yesterday, I told you not to contact me again. We’ll get in contact when we arrive in Amsterdam,” Natalie explained.
“Is that my fault then?” Jasper asked, looking at her with keen eyes.
Natalie stepped forward, put her arms around Jasper’s waist, and leaned her face against his chest. Feeling the warmth of his body, she said softly, “I’m surprised that you came to Paris. I think you must really like me, so you rushed over here immediately. But Jasper, I need some space. I don’t like the feeling of being restrained.”
Jasper lowered his head and looked at her, “I’m not trying to restrain you. I just want to know what you’re thinking about.”
Natalie looked up at him.
His eyes were red.
She guessed that he didn’t sleep all night. She was sad and distressed.
“Didn’t I just say that I came here to break up with Allen? I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried, and I was even more afraid that you wouldn’t allow me to do so. I would be in a difficult position.”
“How could I not allow you to break up with him? Don’t do this in the future. Although I’m bad-tempered, I’m not unreasonable. You…” Jasper paused, “You’ll find out in the future.”
“Well, then I will try my best to learn more about you. And, one more thing, Frederick is also in Paris. Don’t let him see you.”
Jasper’s eyes flashed with suspicion. “Is he in Paris as well? I thought he had already returned to the country.”
“We ran into each other on the plane.”
Jasper understood, “Is he pursuing you?”
“I don’t like him, and I have already made it clear to him. But… I don’t want him to know about our relationship,” Natalie lowered her head.
“Are you afraid that he would make trouble or that he would hurt me?” Jasper asked tentatively.
“Jasper, I have reasons why I don’t want others to know, but I don’t want to tell you now. Maybe I will be willing to tell you everything one day, but not now, so don’t hound me, okay?” Natalie asked softly.
Jasper thought for about 15 seconds and he finally nodded, “Okay, how long do you want to stay in Paris?”
“I should be going to Amsterdam tomorrow,” Natalie answered.
“If you meet Frederick at the airport tomorrow, he will probably follow you to Amsterdam. I will stay here, so just take my private plane tomorrow. It will be safe and you wouldn’t need to worry about him anymore,” Jasper said forcefully.
Natalie thought for a moment and said, “Well, then I will not be contacting you today. I will contact you tomorrow.”
Jasper frowned, “Do you need such a long time to break up with him?”
“You didn’t sleep well yesterday. Have a good rest today, alright?” Natalie explained.
“Do you think I will have a good rest without any updates from you?” Jasper asked.
“Then I’ll call you at noon,” Natalie changed her words.
Jasper’s facial expression eased a little, “Okay.”
“I’ll leave first then,” Natalie said softly.
Jasper was reluctant to let her go, but he still had to.
Natalie then left the lounge.
The passengers from her flight had already left, and the corridor was much more spacious than before. Almost everyone was gathered around the conveyor belt.
The luggage had not been unloaded yet. She walked over and saw Frederick standing at the furthest spot away from her and looking at the exit of the luggage.
After thinking for a while, she called Allen.
In just 2 seconds, Allen answered.
“I heard the announcement. You have just arrived, and you are waiting for your luggage now, aren’t you?” Allen asked with a smile.
“Yes, I’m still waiting for it.”
“I’ll come over now then,” Allen hung up the phone.
Natalie looked behind her and did not see Allen. After a while, her luggage came out of the conveyor belt. Natalie spotted her luggage and was about to walk over.
Suddenly, her waist was held by someone.
“Natalie,” Allen called. He lowered his head and kissed her in the face.
Natalie’s heart trembled and she looked at Allen.
Allen smiled brightly and said, “I missed you so much.”
Natalie was silent for a moment, “My luggage is out.”
“I’ll help you get it, which one?” Allen asked, holding Natalie’s hand.
As Frederick was here, Natalie did not shake him off. She pointed to the sky-blue leather luggage.
Allen let go of Natalie’s hand and stepped forward to lift the luggage, “My car is outside, come with me.”
Natalie followed Allen and did not look back at Frederick. She took a deep breath and looked at the side of Allen’s face gloomily.
Allen took her out of the airport.
He drove a Lamborghini.
“I’ve booked a hotel for you. You should rest at the hotel first. My grandmother is here too. Let’s have lunch together at noon, she wants to see you,” Allen said with a smile, his tone was full of joy.
Natalie really couldn’t bear to break up with him now. However, although the words were cruel, she knew that she had to say it.
“Allen, I’m here to tell you something,” Natalie said.
“Huh?” Allen looked at Natalie’s face and his smile sank, “Get into the car first.”
He opened the door like a gentleman.
Natalie got in the car and Allen drove.
Natalie did not speak. It was not a good time to talk about it while he was driving.
He stopped in front of the entrance of the Histon Hotel and unfastened his seat belt. Just as he was about to open the door, Natalie grabbed his arm.
Allen glanced at Natalie’s hand and looked upward in the direction of her arm.
“Allen, can I trust you?” Natalie asked.
“Of course,” Allen said without hesitation. He turned around and faced Natalie, waiting for her to speak.
“I have someone whom I like very much in my heart. My feelings for him were so strong that I was willing to do anything for him. That was why I eventually let him go. If there is one thing in this world that I could not forget, it would be him. So, I think, I can’t fall in love with you. I’m sorry that I took advantage of you before,” Natalie said apologetically.
