Jasper Jones shook his head and said, "He apologized to . It feels like he’s changed a lot since I last saw him. Maybe being with you has changed him?"
Vanessa Sterling hesitated for a mont, then explained, "I’m not with him. I haven’t seen him for a long ti."
Jasper was taken aback and said in surprise, "I thought it was because of you that he changed so much."
Vanessa just smiled without saying anything.
Perhaps it had sothing to do with her, but whether it did or not was no longer important to her.
Miles Sterling being able to change was naturally a good thing, but if he couldn’t, that was a problem he needed to overco himself.
Seeing that Vanessa seed unwilling to discuss Miles Sterling further, Jasper changed the subject and said, "By the way, I actually ca over today because I have so news to tell you."
Vanessa looked puzzled as she watched Jasper take a small red booklet out of his pocket and said with a smile, "I’m getting married next month. If you have ti, you must co."
Vanessa raised her eyebrows with a look of surprise, smiling as she accepted the invitation, "Congratulations."
Opening the invitation, she saw the wedding photo printed on it.
The girl in the photo looked gentle and sunny.
Jasper smiled and said, "I t her when I was in the hospital. At first, I didn’t plan on agreeing because I was afraid my leg wouldn’t heal and I’d hold her back. But she stayed with and got through those tough tis."
Vanessa chuckled and teased, "You still have quite a way with won."
"Don’t make fun of . By the way, she’s a huge fan of your comics. She was eagerly following the drama adaptation from a while back. So, if you can co to the wedding, it would be a huge surprise for her."
"I’ll make ti to co." Seeing that Jasper had moved past his old experiences, Vanessa was genuinely happy for him.
In truth, she had always been afraid to reach out to Jasper because she feared he might bla her in his heart.
After all, even though Jasper’s ordeal was caused by Miles Sterling, it was triggered by her.
And when they were together, she knew that Jasper truly loved her.
Jasper had been trying hard to fulfill all those promises and vows.
But she was rely trying to adapt and accept; at that ti, she wasn’t sure what love truly looked like.
So, even though she accepted Jasper’s confession, she didn’t provide him the love she should have as a partner.
Before she had the chance to make ands, Jasper seed to have completely let go.
In contrast, she couldn’t let go of the mistakes Miles Sterling had made in the past.
She wasn’t sure if it was because she was too narrow-minded.
Everyone said that Miles Sterling was different now than before, and even she could feel it.
But no matter how much compensation Miles Sterling offered her, it felt like her heart was still holding on to those past shadows.
Should she look at the current Miles Sterling with an open heart?
Half a month later, after attending Jasper’s wedding, the couple thoughtfully booked her a room, hoping she would stay the night.
However, Vanessa had classes the next day, so she took a late-night high-speed train ho around ten o’clock.
She booked a window seat, listening to music with her headphones on.
Though the journey was tiring, attending that warm and sweet wedding brought her a lot of feelings and happiness.
Seeing the happiness of those around her seed to bring her contentnt too.
After an hour-long journey, she arrived at the station by midnight, and the subway had already stopped running.
She walked to the taxi lane, queued up behind the crowd waiting for a car.
It had been a long ti since she was out so late by herself, which made her feel a little vigilant.
