Chapter 121 Don't You Dare Run From This

• To have her bluff so ruthlessly called by Jasper rattled Talia, but she forced out a smile and told a lie. "I just so happened to see your text, and that's why I called to tell you that I didn't mean to ignore your calls."
• Jasper scoffed on the other line. "If you don't want that sacred love of yours to be tainted by spite, then why don't you work harder on making me love you? Love is only made stronger after it's been tested, got it? I was too busy handling the upcoming collaboration with the Watsons to actually tell you off, but now, I'm warning you not to run from this. In fact, don't you dare run from this!"
• Talia couldn't stand it when he sounded so intimidating and frigid, so she quickly told him that she had work to do and hung up in a hurry. If this were three years ago, she might have been able to summon the courage to try, but right now, she was resigned to her fate. It was a chance that had come too late, and it wasn't enough to reignite her feelings for him, no matter how blindly in love and cautious she had been before.
