Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

445 Forbidden Love

Isabella's tears streamed down her cheeks as she spoke, and her tears left stains on the beige sheets.

As he watched this, Jasper became flustered. He regretted that he had come to check on Isabella. So, he stood up and attempted to get out of the room as soon as possible. However, he'd just taken a step when she grabbed his hand and dragged him to the edge of the bed.

Her soft brown hair brushed against his shoulder the next second. Her warm, pink lips came up to his, along with the faint odor of alcohol.

It felt familiar to him. What surprised him the most was that he did not feel uncomfortable as Isabella touched him. He felt an unusual emotion that he had never felt before surging in his heart at that time.

"Stop, Isabella!" Jasper had to force himself to calm down and stop her. He ducked away, and her lips brushed against his ear.

Unwilling to let him go, Isabella hugged him tightly and rested her head on his shoulder. She took off half of his robe, and she felt their hearts beat separately through the thin clothes.

For a brief moment, Jasper's seemingly impenetrable defenses were shaken. But, it was only for a brief moment.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a glass breaking outside the door. Jasper and Isabella both looked up and saw Lisa standing in the room's doorway with an empty tray looking at them in astonishment.

The sound of the broken glass saved Jasper from his impending mental breakdown. Isabella also appeared to have come back to her senses a bit unexpectedly. She squinted unhappily toward the doorway ;444 Forbidden Love and saw Lisa's shocked expression. She muttered softly as her eyelids became heavy, "I'm thirsty. Give me some water.”

Jasper then placed Isabella on the bed. He returned his gaze to Lisa, and he appeared to be upset. "Please have Sarah bring another glass of water.”

Lisa shuddered nervously and then dashed away.

Jasper eventually left the room as well. His phone rang a few times before he hung up. Later, his assistant had to text him to remind him: Sir, the Manhattan office wants to have a video conference with you about project financing. They've been waiting for you for quite some time.

Exhausted, Jasper sat in his office chair in the study. He started the video conference after a few sips of coffee. However, he abruptly suspended and postponed the meeting halfway through.

After that, he lit a cigarette in the dark. The strong odor of smoke permeated the air, and the smoke obscured his vision.
