Jasper was so nervous that he thought his heart would burst right out of his chest. Running over to the door, he opened it, only to reveal Nadine’s face.
“Sweetie, I missed you so much.” Nadine looked ever so pitiful. She was peering inside the apartment, obviously looking for Holly so she could gloat at her.
The audacity!
Recalling the messages Nadine sent, Jasper lost his temper. He grabbed Nadine’s face so hard that her bones almost caved in.
“Nadine Fulton, I warned you not to provoke Holly, yet look at what you did! I told you I would remarry Holly after one month.”
He picked up the phone. Photos of him and Nadine being intimate were on display, along with numerous vile texts.
Nadine paled. She didn’t know how Jasper could’ve discovered what she did. Instinctively, she tried to defend herself. “No! It’s not what it seems, sweetie…”
However, Jasper only became even harsher. Nadine thought he would break her jaw with how hard he was gripping her.
His voice was as frosty as the glacier. “It’s not what it seems? It seems I’ve been too lenient on you
that you dare lie to my face! I said time and again that I could give you anything except the title of my wife, yet you’re still not content!”
His wrath was terrifying. It was Nadine’s first time seeing him in this state. She trembled all over, and tears streamed down her face unknowingly.
“I’m sorry, Jasper. I love you so much… that I couldn’t hold it back anymore. Don’t get mad. I’ll listen to you from now on… That’s the only text I sent. You were meeting up with Holly today. I was afraid you would ditch me, so I…”
Like before, Nadine cried pitifully and talked in a honeyed tone. She thought Jasper was just a little mad at her. He’d let her go if she cried. However, what she didn’t know was her cries now disgusted Jasper.
He snatched her phone and clicked to see her messages. Ife wanted to know what other outrageous things she’d done.
In the end, he saw numerous nasty messages. His vision blurred for a moment, and the vein on his temple bulged.
Within two weeks, Nadine had sent so many texts and photos to Holly to provoke her. There were photos of him and Nadine kissing and even photos of them in bed.
He read them one by one, his finger pressing against the screen so hard that it was as though he could smash it through sheer force alone.
Holly had known long ago that he’d crossed the line.
Back then, the sight of Holly standing next to someone else was enough to upset him. How heartbroken would she have been when she saw him kissing and being intimate with another woman?
If he were in Holly’s shoes, he would’ve lost his mind. He’d torture the man she had an affair with until he no longer dared lay a finger on her. He’d also lock her up forever so she stayed by
his side.
But Holly tolerated all the provocation, again and again, until she left him without looking
back.
Jasper’s heart was aching terribly. His fingers were shaking. He couldn’t bring himself to scroll any further.
All this time, how badly had he hurt her?
“Sweetie…” Nadine called out in a meek tone. She glanced at him in fear..
At that moment, utter viciousness replaced the affection Jasper once had for her. He stared intently at her face. The pretty face he’d once loved the most was now hideous. Suddenly, he felt nauseous.
“I’m your uncle, not your sweetie,” he said coldly
Nadine paled at his words. Feeling wronged, she teared up. She didn’t understand why Jasper would behave that way.
Teary–eyed, she questioned the man before her whose expression was as cold as ice, “Am I wrong, Jasper? You married me, cared for me, and helped me. Again and again, you left Holly’s side to come to me. Am I wrong to think you love me? I did nothing wrong!”
