Triplets’ Mighty Mom

Chapter 307 There’s No Turning Back
Keeping her eyes glued to Landon, Kate walked straight ahead stiffly in a robotic manner behind Jasper. In fact, Landon had no
idea that Kate would be back today and he had never expected to see her with Jasper.
All at once, he felt like something had pierced through his heart, leaving a gaping hole through which icy wind kept on finding its
way inside. Over the past few days, he had been lingering around her place to wait for her because he had a lot of things to tell
her. However, the moment he saw Jasper putting his arm around her shoulder, he felt as though his neck was strangled by
someone and all the words he planned to say were stuck in his throat. Had they really started dating each other? Seeing them
walking past him as if he was non-existent, he blurted out in a fit of panic, “Kate,” Kate froze in her tracks for one second and
took a deep breath before she went on without stopping. “Kate, I have something to tell you!” His voice contained a note of
anxiety and a trace of imploration Letting out a sigh in resignation, Kate passed the key to her place over to Jasper. “Jasper, you
go first and I’ll be right back.” Jasper wasn’t too happy to hear that and he started eyeing Landon disdainfully. However, he didn’t
say anything for Kate’s sake as he took the key readily and said with a smile, “Okay. I can cook the rice but I guess I have to
count on you to prepare the rest of the dishes.” Kate responded with a gentle smile, “That’s good enough because there are
plenty of guys out there who don’t even know how a rice cooker works.” Jasper cast a glimpse at Landon before saying, “I think I
should learn a thing or two from you later so that I can cook for you in the future!” Kate could tell that he actually meant it for
Landon. In fact, there wasn’t any point for him to make a remark like that because she no longer cared about what Landon
thought now. With a wide grin, she answered, “Sure!” After making sure that Jasper had gone to her place, Kate spun around to
face Landon and took a deep breath. “What is it that you would like to say?” Keeping his eyes on her all the time, Landon asked,
“Do you really fancy him?” “It’s just a matter of time.”
She said she would fall in love with him soon! Landon felt his chest tighten when he heard her answer and at the same time, he
wondered how deeply he had hurt her to make her hate him so much. Then, he took two steps forward and said, “Kate, I’ve
sorted out my feelings to be sure that you’re the one I like, not Melanie. Please give me another chance.”
Out of instinct, Kate retreated and made a cross sign with her arm to keep him from getting too close. “What’s your problem? Are
you doing this because you’re pitying me? Don’t worry because I’m not that weak and I have plenty of companions. Also, don’t
think I’m that bad-looking to end up being a spinster without you.”
Looking anxious, Landon took another step forward and insisted, “Kate, I really meant what I said. After spending the past few
days thinking about us, I’ve finally realized how stupid I am for not being able to tell your feelings for me and for hurting you over
and over again. I can finally understand how you must have felt before this when I saw you with Jasper...” Once again, Kate
stepped backward and snapped, “Oh, can you just do me a favor and stop bringing the past up? I only managed to forget some
of that crap over the past few days. Landon, there’s no turning back for both of us now. Not only can’t we become a couple, but
we can’t even be friends because the sight of you reminds me of how foolish I was! I’ve never pinned any blame on you because

you have the right to like whoever you want. The problem lies with me who fell head over heels in love with you and stubbornly
refused to give up when it was so obvious that there wasn’t any hope between us. Now that I’m finally able to come to myself,
stop trying to haul me back to that hopeless pit!” When he heard Kate’s croaky voice, it wasn’t an understatement to describe the
pain in Landon’s heart as an excruciating one. “Kate, it’s my fault to fall for Melanie’s flattery and I know I’ve let you down and
hurt you very badly. Please don’t push me away so firmly now because you should take your time to cool down and think
about...” “Can you just stop mentioning her name in my presence? I’m not interested in the stuff between Melanie and you!” Kate
didn’t give him a chance to even finish his sentence by snarling at him, “Falling in love with you is the biggest mistake I’ve made
in my life! It’s been seven years! Landon, I had been in love with you for seven years but I never thought that I would still have to
earn your trust and prove my innocence by a voice recording. I’m really tired of having anything to do with you so just do me a
favor and get out of my life!”
