His Precious Love

Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Let Us Talk
The distance between them was negligible to the point that Theodore could smell the faint fragrance wafting off Jasmine. He frowned, not quite used to it.
He wanted to leave from the side, but she blocked him off with her other arm.
“There’s no need for you to do this.” His voice was as cold as ice.
“Are you unwilling to explain, or is there really something between the two of you?” Jasmine pressed, her eyes brimming with hurt.
She was livid back at the restaurant, but after calming down and mulling things over, she felt that it wasn’t like him to do such a thing. Furthermore, she didn’t discern any signs of him having another woman at the hotel that night.
“Think whatever you want,” Theodore murmured placidly without the slightest hint of emotion.
Whatever? Has he become so perfunctory with me now?
His cold and flat tone made Jasmine’s blood boil, and she jabbed a finger at his chest.
“Theodore Xavier, is it going to cost you your life to say a few words of explanation? What exactly do you want? Was it my fault that I broke up with you? It was your mother who intervened in our relationship! If you had sided with me, things wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
Seizing her arm, Theodore spun around and pinned her against the pool wall, his gaze dark and dangerous.
“Why did you take her money?”
“That was because—” Not only did Mrs. Xavier threaten me to such an extent, but I was also pregnant back then, and my status in the Sanders family was as lowly as ever. How could I have afforded to have the baby if I hadn’t taken the money?
“What’s there for you to be resentful about, Jasmine? Have you ever discussed with me or informed me before doing anything?” Theodore sneered, cutting off her hesitant reply.
Jasmine closed her eyes for a moment. “I was just afraid that you’d worry. Moreover, that letter—”
“If so, I should thank you for having gifted me a bright future, Ms. Sanders. There’s no need to speak of the letter anymore. It’s over between us anyway.” Theodore’s expression was icy.

Dropping his hold on her, he climbed up the stairs and left the swimming pool.
Four years ago, I’d rather accept my father’s terms than compromise and secretly had someone help her elevate her status in the Sanders family, yet she backed down. It’s as though all my hard work and struggles were nothing but a joke. D*mn it! If I’d known that we’d meet again, I’d definitely have Wyatt and Jeremy come back while never stepping foot into Norwal City!
In the pool, Jasmine inhaled deeply time and again.
Argh! I must have my wires crossed to fall in love with such an obstinate man and even give birth to his child! Fortunately, Carl took after me partly in terms of personality, and I taught him well. If he were to take after Theodore, he wouldn’t even be able to get himself a girlfriend in the future!
Meanwhile, Rayna and Curtis played in the billiard room for the entire afternoon.
Thanks to Curtis’ guidance, Rayna’s skills swiftly advanced to the elementary level from a mere rookie, and she ended up winning a lot of things from him.
When it was time for dinner, it was only them both and Jasmine.
Wyatt pestered Jessica shamelessly, and they had seemingly gone to the card room. As for Theodore, Curtis claimed that the man was handling some business in the room, so he would bring dinner back for the man later.
Noticing Jasmine’s disconsolate expression, Rayna couldn’t shake off the feeling that the woman must have had a row with Theodore. But then, it would be insensitive of her to ask about it.
After dinner had ended, Curtis went back to the room with the food he bought, only to see Theodore still busy handling business. “Did you fight with Ms. Sanders that you’re wearing such a grim expression, Theodore?”
“No!” Theodore fibbed coldly.
That promptly struck Curtis dumb.
Considering his expression and tone, they’ve certainly had a row. Anyway, it looks like the altercation this time is pretty bad.
When Theodore saw that Curtis was changing, he inquired with a frown, “Why, you’re still going out later?”
“There’ll be a ball and seemingly some other interesting activities at eight o’clock. Rayna wants to join, so I’ve got no choice but to accompany her.” Curtis took off his crystal cufflinks.
Theodore’s expression darkened, and he barked in dissatisfaction, “Is Faymon Group mine? I’m the one doing everything, whereas you guys either go off wooing women or dancing!”
“Well, I was worried you’d be bored, so I gave you some work to divert your attention. Why don’t you join me, then? There’ll undoubtedly be plenty of beautiful ladies at the ball,” Curtis drawled.
In response, Theodore snorted. “Only you guys like such a boring activity! I’m too lazy to go!”
Curtis merely shrugged.
I don’t really like it either, but Rayna is interested, so I can only go with her. I can’t sit back and watch as my wife dances with other men, no?
At that precise moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
Seeing that Theodore remained seated on the chair without budging an inch, Curtis walked out and opened the door.
It was Jasmine.
She looked him up and down before querying with a smile, “You changed to go to the ballroom to have fun?”
“Yeah. Rayna wants to go and join in the fun,” Curtis answered. He was all ready and didn’t have to retrieve anything, so he had Jasmine go in by herself while he left. While at that, he offered, “You guys can also come to the ballroom and enjoy yourselves after talking things out.”
Jasmine bobbed her head in acknowledgement.
When the man had left, she immediately locked the door and headed straight for the bedroom.
