Chapter 14 Why Break Up
Ingrid wanted to get some rest, but no matter how exhausted she was from the night before, her mind tehased to settle. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Jasper’s face and brand his
voice chain her mind.
“Was there something you weren’t satisfied with that night?”
“You were trembling the whole time.”
don’t know what was on your mind that night. But at the very least, while you were with me, you forgot about it for a little while. Wouldn’t you say I made you happy, even if just for a
Even his casual remark, “I went to the hotel with you because I was attracted to you“, kept replaying in her head. So, he thought she was attractive too.
Ingrid frowned and suddenly opened her eyes in annoyance. She wasn’t mad at Jasper. She was mad at bersell for letting a few words send her into a spiral.
It was just a fling. Nothing more. He was probably casting a wide net, yet here she was, overanalyzing every detail. This was ridiculous.
Just as she was beating herself, the doorbell rang. Ingrid got out of bed and opened the door. Standing outside was Brandon
She was in her pajamas. It wasn’ʼn revealing, but she still only opened the door a crack. “What are you doing here?”
Het reaction only made Brandon more suspicious, as if she were hiding someone inside.
Without much expression, he lifted a bag. “Your stutt.”
Ingrid reached out and took it inside was her iPad. “Thanks. Sorry for the trouble.”
She made no move to invite him in, so Brandon asked, “Can we talk?”
Ingrid didn’t hesitate. “No.” She had no interest in wasting even a second on him.
His face darkened. “Es someone here?”
Ingrid found his hypocritical suspicion laughable. Suppressing her irritation, she said, “I won’t see you out.”
Brandon’s expression grew even colder. She had always been docile with him. Since when did she develop such an attitude? Could Jasper really be inside?
“Who’s in there?” he asked
Ingrid met his gaze. “Mr. Geppard, it’s none of your business.”
Without warning, he grabbed the door and yanked it open. Ingrid had expected it, but she simply wasn’t strong enough to resist
Brandon stepped inside, scanning the apartment like a man catching his wife cheating
Ingrid’s studio was just 30 square feet, so everything was in plain sight firandon pushed open the bathroom door. It was empty. The rush of blood to his head instantly cooled. Before Ingrid could say a word, his face had already turned red.
He thought she would start yelling at him, but she simply stood six feet away calmly. “Are you leaving on your own, or should I call the police?”
randon turned to her, his gaze fixeden het lace. “Why did you break up with me?”
Ingrid’s tone was indifferent. “Got bored”
His bows furrowed.
She crossed her arms. “Are you leaving or not?”
Her answer sounded as dismissive as tossing a coin to a beggar Brandon couldn’t accept it. “Fine. Breakup if you want, but don’t take me for a fool”
This time, Ingrideouldn’t help but smirk Looking at this scene, one might think the was the beartless one,
She had the unge to slap him, but she didn’t want to dirty her hands. It was just how she wanted to bring up Zelda but wanted him gone as soon as possible. She didn’t want to drag things
Ingrid dawled, “I’ve had my fill I got
I got bored. We’r e not a good match.
“It’s interfering with my work. My mom disapproves. Pick whichever reason you find easiest to accept.”
He had always thought she was a meek girl. She had never dated anyone since moving to Peacehart many years ago. He was her first boyfriend.
He never doubted that she liked him. She liked him so much that if he beckoned to her, she would come running immediately.
Everything had been fine, so why did she break up with him?
“Was it because when that male patient harassed you, I didn’t say I was your boyfriend?”
