Amanda Jenkins wondered if Jasper Bollock wouldn't forgive her, then he certainly wouldn't forgive Evelyn Crawford.
Seeing Jasper Bollock's stern face, Amanda Jenkins quietly pulled her hand back under the table and pushed the recorder further into her pocket.
Originally, she had intended to take on the role of the "bad guy" to push Evelyn Crawford to take that step.
But now it seemed she couldn't do it...
The cafe was silent for a long time.
Jasper Bollock didn't speak, and Amanda Jenkins also remained silent.
After a while, Jasper Bollock's voice rang out softly, "I will protect you."
Amanda Jenkins paused, looked up in surprise, and gazed at Jasper Bollock.
He was furrowing his brow, his eyes full of sorrow and pain as he looked at her.
Had she heard wrong?
"It's okay, I will protect you."
Jasper Bollock repeated softly, his voice very gentle.
Seeing him like this, tears of emotion welled up in Amanda Jenkins's eyes.
