Dear Sweetheart

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.
