Too Late To Say I Love You novel Chapter 16

The butler simply smiled politely and ignored Janice’s bark. He left the study after putting down the cup of coffee, leaving Janice to rage on her own.

He followed Jared to the courtyard, but the wind was strong due to the heavy rain outside. “Mr. Crawford, the wind is too strong outside. You haven’t fully recovered after being discharged from the hospital a while ago, so you should go back inside.”

“She said something similar in the past,” Jared suddenly uttered.

The butler was startled.

However, Jared kept staring at the falling rain as he took a trip down the memory lane. “When we were still studying at university, she would always run to my class when it rains to give me an umbrella. She never cared if she was caught in the rain — she was always so silly.”

He suddenly smiled, and his pale face glowed as though he was yearning for something. “She always brought me a towel and a bottle of mineral water whenever I played basketball; she spectated every single tournament I played and cheered the loudest each time I scored…”

Eventually, Jared stopped.

He never bothered when Gwen was still around because he took everything for granted. When he finally looked back at those memories, every scene was so sweet yet so bitter.

No sacrifice in the world was taken for granted, of course.

Jared was used to demanding everything from Gwen, but he forgot that he had never given anything in return.

The butler finally raised a question, “Mr. Crawford, I never understood why you hate Mrs. Crawford so much. You’ve known each other for ten years, and it’s clear to us how well she treats you. Besides, she has never done anything wrong, so why do you…”

‘Why do you despise and hate her so much?’

“I have no idea why I hate her so much either. Every time I saw her following me like a fool and said ‘Jared, Jared’, I just felt annoyed. When she confessed to me in front of everyone in the school, I was embarrassed. I didn’t like anything she did, so I disliked her.”
