"That doesn't prove that she likes me, does it? Or, she just thinks that she still owes me a book from Russia," Jasper said self-deprecatingly.
His eyes were cold and blank when he thought of the scene of Stella returning his money back to him.
"Stella likes you, I can guarantee that. She's often in a daze with your book in her arms. By the way, she refused you because she agreed Federick that they would be separated for a month, and then they could file for divorce a month later. She didn't want other factors to come in the way, so she wanted to distance herself from you first," Eli said in a hurry.
Jasper frowned and stayed silent.
Eli couldn't guess what Jasper was thinking as he remained silent. She continued, "Can you take the initiative? Stella is a very passive person. It's better to make the move with her."
Jasper "..."
Would it be helpful if he forced it?
