Come With Me

Chapter 212 We Finally Missed Each Other

"Is this the reason why you pushed me away?"

Robbie shook his head slowly. "I have never pushed you away, because I have never been close to you."

What he said pushed me into despair again.

"If you are still grateful that I have saved you more than once, please take good care of Rogelio love him and protect him. This is how you repay me for saving your life."

I wanted to cry, but in the end, I chose to face it with a bitter smile.

Robbie passed by me, leaving me a cold distance.

When he closed the door, I couldn't help calling him, "Robbie." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

He raised his eyes and looked at me. Maybe it was my illusion. There were many complex emotions in his eyes. It was not the sense of distance before, but a helpless farewell.

I was very close to him before, but in the end, I was far away from his heart.

"Jasmine, when did you come back?"

Rubbing her eyes, Xenia appeared at the door of the room.

She looked in the direction where Robbie left and sighed.

"Why didn't you call me in advance and told me that you wanted to come back?"

"I miss you. I'm bored staying in the Luo family, so I come back to see you."

Xenia came in and sat on an armchair in my room.

She followed my gaze and looked outside the door. But Robbie had already left. "What did you say to each other?" she asked.

"He asked me to live a good life with Rogelio."

It was rare for Xenia to talk to me in such a sincere tone. "Robbie did this for your own good."

"Even you think that's good for me?"

"Yes, I don't think that Robbie is suitable for you. Rogelio is the one you should protect, not to mention that you are a determined couple. You and Rogelio are the best match in every aspect."

I looked at the unusual Xenia and said, "You didn't say that before. On one occasion, you even had a fight with Rosie because of this."

However, Xenia denied her past. "I didn't understand the whole thing in the past, but now I understand it. It's me who affected your state of mind and misled your preferences. Jasmine, I want to correct my mistake in time. I want to apologize to you. I hope you can be happy."

"Are you happy to choose Vann?"

After a short pause, Xenia said, "It doesn't matter whether I am happy or not. I am just temporarily fascinated by him. But if we get married, I am he's not as good as Rogelio."

For the first time, Xenia said to me in a tone of an elder persuading the younger generation, "Love can be two people's business, but marriage is not. Didn't you ever think that you didn't want both men and wanted to leave by yourself? Jasmine, you still have two choices now. You either leave alone forever, or choose Rogelio. Your relationship with Rogelio is destined, and you have no result with Robbie, no matter you leave Rogelio or not."

I lowered my eyes and said, "I know."

"What do you know? What choice did you make?" Xenia asked tentatively.

I bit my lips and said, If this is what you all want to see, if this is what Robbie wants to see, then let me be with Rogelio."

"Jasmine?"

I sniffed and pretended to be happy. "You're right, and Robbie is right. Rogelio is good. I have no reason to betray him. And Robbie wants me to do so, too. He wants me to repay him in this way for saving my life before. Then I will follow his advice. Just like the first time I promised to marry Rogelio, now I have no reason to refuse him."

In fact, until now, I still had some selfishness even though I was in despair. Because at least with my current identity of being Rogelio's wife, I could have a chance to take a look at Robbie from a far distance and know if he was living well.

And I also know that when I faced Rogelio, I always had some unspeakable cowardice.

A short car whistle came from outside.

I walked to the window and saw Rogelio's car parking downstairs.

He stood by the car, raised his head and waved at me with a smile. The smile that had always been warm to me seemed to set off my shameful soul at the moment.

I felt guilty for him.

I had never lived so ambivalent like now.

"Jasmine?"

I tried my best to adjust my emotions and smiled at Xenia, who seemed to be relieved. "Thank you for what you have said to me today. Xenia, I know what I should do. Goodbye, I'm leaving now."

"Jasmine!"

I smiled at Xenia and said, "You're right. I must have been influenced by your nonsense before. Rogelio is my husband. He is very good to me. He won't push me away. He can still give me a family like he used to be."

There was a trace of pity in Xenia's eyes. I forced a smile to comfort herself and kept telling myself that I was wrong before.

I went downstairs and smiled at Rogelio, who was standing at the door.

Then I kept telling myself that this man was the one I loved.

Rogelio came to me and held my hands in his. "How are you feeling today? Are you feeling better now?"

"You just left for a while. I'm fine."

"I miss you so much that you think I just left for a while. But I feel that I have left you for a long time."

"Rogelio."

He blinked at me with a smile. "What's wrong, honey?"

I hesitated for a while and said to him, "I suddenly want to go out for a walk."

Hearing that, Rogelio held my hand tighter and smiled. "Okay, let's go tomorrow."

"Us? Together?"

"Yes. Don't you have me in your schedule?"

I knew that Rogelio had always been very busy, and there were also a lot of things in the company. I didn't expect that he would agree so easily and even wanted to go with me.

"Tomorrow? Don't you need to arrange your work in your company?"

"Do you still remember that I once told you that I wanted to build a primary school and take you to the mourning ceremony?"

I nodded and said, "Of course I do."

"We had set the schedule half a month ago, but I didn't expect that you almost left me, so this matter has been delayed. Since you want to go out now, let's go tomorrow. Those children are waiting for us, waiting for you."

It was a good thing and I could go out for a walk. So I nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow. But what about Auntie's opinion?"

"Why do you still call my mother Auntie? It seems that I really owe you a wedding."

"Jasmine, I know it's a little abrupt for me to say that I'm going to hold a wedding ceremony today, but I really want to hold it hurriedly. What about you? Are you willing to give me this chance? Which day do you want our wedding to be held?"
