章節 636: Ella’s coldness toward Jasper

Ella's heart raced as Jasper tended to her injury. She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her chest at his touch. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she was developing feelings for him—the very thing she had resolved not to do.

Ella gazed at Jasper, a mix of emotions swirling within her. It was the same concern she had witnessed in his eyes when he saved her from Mr. Harrison. She felt grateful that he still cared about her well-being, despite being a stranger to her.

No one had ever taken such good care of her. Her family had always treated her as an outsider. Despite being frigid to her at times, Jasper treated her so kindly. Ella had always felt a connection to him—a connection of belonging that she couldn't avoid.
