Aren’t You Worried that You’ll End Up Alone?
Anna froze and looked at Karl in confusion.
Just then, her cab arrived.She was about to inquire as to what Karl meant by that.
However, he opened the car door for her and said, "Anna, bye.I wish you the best of luck."
"Thank you," Anna replied with a smile.She then got into the cab.
Karl's smile faded as he watched the car disappear around the corner.He appeared to be very worried.
Wayne was his best friend, so he wished for him to find the right person.
But he had recently been concerned about his friend.
At first, he didn't know why Jasper was looking for a sanitarium for Peace.
Later, he overheard Peace's attending physician talking with the nurse on Christmas Eve.
The doctor said that he wanted to reduce Peace's medication dosage because Jasper wanted Peace
to be able to receive prolonged treatment and stay in the hospital for a longer time.
Karl pondered for some time after hearing their conversation.He could only think of one reason.
And that was Jasper didn't want Peace discharged later, and that was because of Anna.
Anna had no more ties to America after she returned to Birmingham.
She had made a new life for herself there and was doing well, so she saw no reason to go back to
America.
As a result, Jasper invited Peace to America.
Anna would ask him about how Peace was doing whenever he was in New York.
At the thought of that, Karl realized how scheming Jasper could be.
Karl didn't expect Jasper to be that smart, though.
He had one more advantage to take advantage of: he and Anna had not yet divorced.
Therefore, Karl became worried and even urged Peace to cooperate with the doctors so that she could
be discharged sooner.
They would have gotten Wayne in trouble otherwise.
Jasper and Anna’s divorce required extensive paperwork and even a trip to a court in the United
States.
So they had to go through more than six months of tedious procedures from the day they filed for
divorce.
If they had unresolved issues, the time would be extended indefinitely.He'd heard of people going
through divorce proceedings for five years.
Anna took a taxi to the French restaurant that Jasper had reserved for her.
Jasper was sitting in the window seat, waiting for her.
He waved to her and pulled out a chair for her as soon as he saw her.
Anna handed over her coat to the waiter and asked Jasper, "Why did you choose this place again?
When I walked in just now, I was afraid the waiter would stop me again.
I'm dressed very casually today! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jasper laughed, and then said, "You still remember the first time you came to this restaurant? Right, at
that time, you didn’t know you had to follow the dress code, so you came here wearing a T-shirt and
jeans after work.The waiter stopped you and embarrassed you."
Anna laughed awkwardly and said, "Let's not dwell on the past.Look at how the restaurant has evolved
with the times.Despite the fact that I'm not wearing a dress, they let me in."
Meanwhile, Jasper was perusing the wine list.
He said with a smile, "Of course! You're a friend of the owner of the restaurant, so of course, they let
you in."
Anna froze for a few seconds before asking, surprised, "What? You bought the restaurant, didn't you?"
Jasper admitted it with a smile.
"This is a rare good restaurant.You're not going to ruin it, are you?" She said.
"Before you jump to conclusions, you can order something to try," Jasper said to Anna after calling the
waiter and handing him the menu.
Anna flipped through the menu that was written entirely in French, as it had always been.
It irritated her even more.
She looked up and saw Jasper smiling at her as if he was waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
"You own this restaurant, so I can order whatever I want, right?" Anna said as she closed the menu.
"What do you want?" Jasper asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Steak and kidney pie."
Hearing that, the waiter then went completely still.
Everyone knew what that was, but it wouldn't be served in a proper French restaurant.
Anna sat back in her chair and said, "This restaurant does not appear to be as good as you claimed! I
assumed you had every type of dish." Jasper then spoke French with the waiter, but Anna only
understood the word "Fully cooked."
The waiter nodded and seemed to have been assigned a difficult task.
He didn't appear to be going to the kitchen to place the order but rather to a nearby farm to catch the
cattle himself.
She laughed loudly and said, "I suppose they won't do that. They're probably just going to give me a
steak."
Jasper sighed, resigned, and said, "Are you serious, Anna? Do you do that when Wayne and you go
out to dinner?"
"It's fine.He'd been to one of those food stands on the street with me before for dinner, and he didn't
mind about that.Actually, he's not pretentious at all.But if I make jokes like that in front of him, he'll just
think I'm an idiot." Anna said as she sipped her lemonade, not noticing that Jasper's expression had
become serious.
Jasper used to take Anna to such upscale restaurants, but Anna was always put off by the elegant
setting and felt uneasy.
Because she couldn't read the Italian menu, she once asked the waiter directly if there were Scotch
eggs.
Later, Jasper called the restaurant manager and told him how to do it.
Anna had enjoyed teasing Jasper at fancy restaurants since then.
She thought he was too serious about details, so she wanted to throw in some surprises to lighten the
mood.
"Are you okay with Lily not being around?" Anna asked.Jasper calmly responded, "I believe so.The
new secretary she trained is great, although he's as competent as she is.Anyway, he's great."
Anna said in awe, "Huh? Isn't she worried about losing her job? But if she wants to start her own
business, I'll be happy for her.She is a fantastic woman."
Anna said this to remind Jasper, but he didn't seem to understand what she was saying.
"You know, if she leaves you, you won't have anyone around to keep you company," Anna said after a
brief silence.
