Chapter 3569: Chapter 3571

The next day, during lunch with William, Jasper couldn’t help but look at him from time to time.

As everyone in the dormitory had speculated, does William like her? Not the childhood friend kind of like, but rather…a romantic interest?

Although she was still inexperienced in matters of the heart at 19 years old, she wasn’t completely clueless either.

“What’s wrong? Why have you been staring at my face all day?” William’s voice suddenly rang out.

Jasper snapped out of her thoughts and realized she had been caught staring.

She hesitated for a moment before asking directly, “William, do you have someone you like?”

He was taken aback, not expecting her to ask such a question.

As she looked at him with an open and honest expression, it was clear she genuinely wondered about this.

Her clear and candid gaze made him feel as though telling any lies in front of her would be a sacrilege.

“Yes,” he admitted truthfully, his voice slightly hoarse.

Yes, he liked her. He had liked her for over a decade, ever since he first laid eyes on her. And as time went on and they experienced various ups and downs together, his feelings for her only grew stronger.

To him, she was his redemption, the person who saved him from the shadow of his mother. Even his decision to leave the Barlow family and become William instead of William was because of her.

Even his return to the Barlow family, from William to William, was due to his connection with her.

Just because he wants to become someone worthy of her, someone who can one day obtain what he truly desires!

“So… do I know the person you like?” she asked as her second question.

His eyes flickered slightly, “I know.”

This answer made Jasper’s heart inexplicably tense. Could it be true, as her roommate had guessed?

Throughout their lives, she and him had almost nothing to hide from each other. Even when they were in different cities, they often had video Among the people she knew, she had never seen him particularly interested in any girl, and even their conversations rarely touched on other girls.

Jasper took a deep breath and asked her third question directly, “So, do you like me?” She didn’t want to beat around the bush or guess.

She wanted a clear answer.

He looked at her with a steady gaze, her question was unexpected yet expected.

Suddenly, he smiled and answered with a gentle voice, “It’s you.”

From beginning to end, it was only her!

Jasper stared blankly at the person in front of him, so… does he really like her?

They have been together for so long that sometimes they can even ignore each other’s appearance.

The person in front of him has a handsome face, looks gentle and refined, and when he smiles, it reminds people of the spring breeze.

No wonder he is so popular in school.

But now he says that he likes her. So, how should she respond?

For a moment, Jasper and William found themselves staring at each other in silence.

“I admit that I like you, but I’m not expecting an immediate response from you.” He spoke up, as if sensing her hesitation. “You can take your time to think it over and give me an answer later. And until you’ve made up your mind, you don’t have to give me any answer at all.””

She blinked her eyes and said, “But if that’s the case, then you…you’ll have to keep waiting, won’t you?”

“I’m willing to wait, and you don’t need to feel any burden,” he said. “Jasper, between us, everything is still the same. In fact, nothing has changed. It’s just that you now know that the person I like is you.”
