Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 278

Maybe he did not like Melanie after all, but she gave him a different feeling because she was good at coaxing and soothing others. She had a sweet mouth, and so he would always have the feeling that he was needed when he was with her. On the other hand, Kate would pinch him the moment they met. In fact, she would even hit him, and they just didn’t seem like a couple. But why do I have the urge to cry when I hear the beeping sound over the phone? I feel that… I have truly lost her…

On the other side, Kate was staring at the familiar name across her phone screen. Her gaze was numb and hollow, and she didn’t want to answer the phone call. During this period, she was becoming more and more repulsed by his phone calls after each time. What does he want this time? Is he going to apologize? I don’t need that. Is he planning to explain himself? That’s not important either. I’ve been in love with him for seven years, and I’ve seen him having countless women by his side, one after another. I’ve been trying to convince myself that he will notice how wonderful I am one day. However, today… I just honestly do not want to hold onto him anymore. I’m exhausted. I wonder if people become unreasonable with age. He has had girlfriends in the past, but I had always felt that he was just fooling around. I’m guessing he is really in love with Melanie, huh? The situation is just like the touchstone of his true state of mind. If it weren’t for Melanie, I’d still be daydreaming about him. So what if we share a seven-year-long relationship? It collapsed at the first blow in front of his girlfriend!

The phone rang for the longest time, and it went on until it exhausted her battery, and her phone switched off automatically! The room finally quietened down.

Kate lay on the bed while having her eyes shut. Tears rolled down her tightly-shut eyes, and they trickled across the bridge of her nose before soaking into her pillow. Her eyelids were so swollen that they looked like walnuts within her eye sockets. Nevertheless, her memories were like upturned hooks. A gentle tug would have ripped her skin and flesh off her bones!

She wasn’t sure when she fell asleep, but she realized that the constant doorbell woke her. Kate listened to it for some time and realized that it was indeed her house doorbell. Hence, she got out of the bed to open the door. She was surprised that someone would drop by so early in the morning. Upon looking through the peephole, she saw that it was Jasper. She ran her fingers through her hair before opening the door. Shocked, she asked him, “Why are you here?”
