Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 1531 - Bab 1540

When Jeremy saw this message, he was even more certain that there was something between Ned and Cassandra. Why else would Cassandra make it a point to ask? She probably knew Ned would throw a fit and refuse to eat the dumplings—which meant she knew exactly how he felt.Knowing this, Jeremy got angrier.Jeremy: [I don’t know whether he ate it. I left after giving him the food. Honestly, there wasn’t any need for this. He acquired Randy’s company to pave the path for New East Corporation there. He claims it’s for Fiona’s sake, but it’s more for his sake than anything else.]Still, there was no denying Fiona had benefited from this. At least, if not for Ned, Fiona wouldn’t have gotten to see Elliott.Cassandra couldn’t help feeling that Jeremy was being a little petty. Weren’t they just some dumplings? She knew Ned strongly believed in taking an eye for an eye, and hoped he wouldn’t take Jeremy’s attitude to heart. She could tell from Jeremy’s tone alone that he hadn’t been too friend

Jeremy smiled. “Our breakup doesn’t change the fact that we’re still friends…as long as you don’t go around telling people I’m dead.”“Even if we break up, I won’t get together with him,” Cassandra said as she wiped her tears.She didn’t want to have to constantly go against the women who threw themselves at Ned and worry about his faithfulness to her. It made her extremely insecure, and she knew how seriously she took these things. If she were to find out about him cheating on her, she’d probably kill him in a fit of anguish and rage. For the sake of her sanity and his life, they couldn't be together.Jeremy smiled gently. “I can tell he really likes you. Since you both have feelings for each other, why can’t you be together?”Cassandra shook her head without saying anything. Jeremy had to be wrong—Ned only wanted her because he couldn’t have her. It was nothing but a fleeting urge.“Eat up, or you’ll be hungry later. My business is doing pretty average here; maybe Genovia isn’t

After Ned got to his room, he sat at the desk and lit a cigarette, his mind filled with thoughts of Cassandra.‘I swear I’ll have you beg for mercy when you’re under me!’…Cassandra was still anxious when she got home. She knew it was highly likely she couldn’t escape Ned’s revenge.She quickly changed the pin code and locked the door from the inside.It was bad enough that she had been dumped today, and her conflict with Ned only put her in a worse mood. She wanted to return to Lesia.Winter break had already begun for the students at Genovia Medi-U, and most of them had returned home.The only reason Cassandra was still around was that she had to focus on her experiments. Sam was the only one who could decide whether she could leave.She called him, and told him she wanted to return to Lesia to handle some family issues.Sam thought about it. There were some ongoing experiments at the laboratory, but Annie could probably handle them. Cassandra wasn’t a local, and she couldn

In the car, Cassandra received a message from Fiona.Fiona: [Cassandra, I’ve only just heard about you and Jeremy breaking up! He told me about it after you returned to Genovia. What happened? And I noticed he’s been looking around Lesia for a place to set up another company. Is it really the end for you two?]Cassandra frowned. [How did he put it?]Fiona: [He just said your personalities didn’t match. How can that be, when he’s so gentle and accommodating?]Cassandra: [Maybe we’re just not meant to be.]She was thankful to Jeremy for not telling Fiona the ugly truth. After all, she was the one who had been dumped.Fiona: [Did you get with someone else?]Cassandra: [Who could I possibly be with?]Fiona: [Ned Lawrence, of course! I didn’t think much about you bringing him the dumplings after Jeremy already did, but in hindsight, I wondered how I could’ve been so blind. Look, don’t get with him. Don’t you know how many women he’s kicked to the curb?! Besides, he’s a Genovian, and

Ned smirked. She wouldn’t be able to handle him if he were to be any better at this!He slept with her in his arms, and the heat from his body almost burned her. Eventually, Cassandra drifted off to sleep.It was 10:30 a.m. when she woke up the next morning. She hadn’t felt that tired last night, so why had she slept for so long? And she felt like she had been to hell and back.Ned was already shaving.When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw her bare shoulders and half-lidded eyes.The heater was on, so the room was warm and cozy. He didn’t have a shirt on.Cassandra turned away from his chiseled body, as if she couldn’t care less.As he shaved, he walked over to her and grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look at him. “Don’t have the nerve to look at me?”“You jest, President Lawrence. What’s there to be afraid of?” Cassandra didn’t back down.They stared into each other’s eyes for a few seconds. “Aren’t you going to work today?”“No. I just got back, so I’m going to unpack a
