Chapter 263
Chapter 263:
“Shut up, Jasper. What do you even know about love?” I scoffed, rolling my eyes.
“I have a mate. She’s enough to teach me what love is.”
“Shut up, Jasper. You know nothing about love,” I snapped at him.
“Of course,” he nodded in agreement before pinning his curious eyes on mine. “Why do you take your hands off Aurora immediately after you touch her? Are you feeling sparks?”
“Cancel that thought from your mind. I took my hands off her because she’s a slave, and I can’t be caught dead with a slave.” Deep down, I knew I lied, but I hardened my expression to keep myself from giving it away.
“That’s why you kept asking her how she was over and over, and her presence makes you speechless?” Jasper said, his eyes lighting up with surprise.
“That explains why you’ve been ignoring her since her arrival. You know her presence has an effect on you,” Jasper continued, beaming with excitement.
“I need you to shut the fuck up!” I yelled, turning my face sharply.
I didn’t want him to notice my red-stained cheeks.
Despite keeping a straight face, my cheeks burned with embarrassment.
He was right. Her presence affected me.
“What are you hiding from me?” Jasper asked, trying to peek at my face, but I quickly masked my expression.
“Nothing,” I affirmed, clearing my throat to maintain seriousness. If not for the relationship between us, I would have cut his tongue off long ago. I wished we could get to the ward quickly to avoid Jasper’s unending questions.
“The day I caught you two making love in the garden, I knew she was more than a slave to you,” Jasper resumed, causing me to groan in frustration.

“Can you stop it?!”
“I’m not done. Before you sent her out, I caught you sneaking into her room several times. Sometimes, you invite her over to yours, but what baffles me the most is when you allow her to sleep on your bed. You swore you’d never let anyone sleep on your matrimonial bed.”
I was busted.
“That doesn’t mean I love her,” I tried to convince him, but he wouldn’t hear it.
“I never loved Aurora, and I don’t love her.”
It was strange how I felt a part of my heart pricking me at my words. It was as though my conscience had stabbed me repeatedly.
I knew what I said wasn’t true, but I just wanted to be off Jasper’s hook.
“That’s a lie,” he chuckled, shooting me an unconvinced look.
My anger and frustration soon heightened.
“Well, I feel Rosa is lying. It was written all over her. And in my opinion, you and Aurora could put the past behind you and make another baby—”
“And get cheated on again? Get deceived? No!” I flared in anger, pacing the hallway.
It took everything in me to block the images of Aurora and her so-called lover.
Good thing I fed him his own medicine.
