Chapter 18
At first, Jasmine didn’t intend to start a new relationship so soon.
She had just ended a failed marriage and went to meet Quentin only because she didn’t want to worry her parents.
So when they first met, Jasmine straightforwardly told Quentin.
Quentin just smiled after listening, “Okay, I won’t force you, but you can’t stop a man from pursuing an excellent woman, right? Wouldn’t that be unfair to me?”
Jasmine couldn’t refute Quentin’s words and could only let him go.
In order to quickly forget about her failed marriage, Jasmine decided to keep herself busy. She joined the International Stray Animal Rescue Organization. She had always loved animals and wanted to contribute a little warmth to the world through her own efforts.
Later, Quentin found out and also joined her.
At first, she thought Quentin’s interest in her was just a passing fancy. After all, running an organization solely based on compassion for animals, without any profit, is difficult to sustain. Perhaps, with time, Quentin would automatically give up.
I didn’t expect that Quentin worked in the hospital during the day and spent his free time diligently studying various animal first aid

his calmness and charm, which made her develop a slight fondness for him. It was at that moment she realized that there would truly bet someone to accompany her in her unwavering love.
The real decision to be with Quentin was made on her birthday when she took the initiative and said, “Quentin, are you only bringing gifts today? You like me so much; don’t you want to confess your feelings to me?”
Upon hearing this, Quentin laughed like a child and quickly said, “Everything is in the trunk of my car, I am always ready, waiting for the day you are willing to truly accept me.”
Later, she found out that Quentin had liked her for a whole ten years.
Just like she was back then..
At that moment, she seemed to see her former self, blindly pursuing love like a moth to a flame. However, Quentin was not her, and she was not Carl, so she was willing to put an end to this relationship.
In the evening, Quentin escorted her home and before leaving, she repeatedly reminded and instructed.
After going back, do not touch water. Be careful of the wound getting infected and inflamed.
“Okay, I got it.” Quentin smiled.
Before Quentin left, Jasmine took the initiative to tiptoe and kissed Quentin on the lips, and his gaze instantly became profound. In the moment Jasmine landed, he forcefully embraced her waist, deepening the kiss.
Finally, before the gun misfired, Quentin quickly released Jasmine.
Seeing Quentin’s slightly disheveled figure, Jasmine patted her flushed. cheeks. The previous kiss had left her feeling like a deer in headlights.
She finally calmed her emotions and turned her head to see Carl standing in the shadows.
“Carl, how did you end up here?”
Just now, that scene vividly fell into Carl’s eyes. The dark possessiveness compelled him to want to rush and stop their intimate behavior, but the remaining sanity restrained him.
He knew that Jasmine despised him now.
If they were to provoke Jasmine’s disgust again, it is likely that they would never have a chance.
Carl took a deep breath, trying to slow down his voice.
“Jasmine. I had something to tell you, can you please not have such animosity towards me?”
During the time you were away, I realized that I had fallen in love with
you.
