Chapter 370 Agreed to Be Together
Aletta looked at him...
The man's face remained calm and steady, his gaze carrying a comforting power.
Aletta couldn't help but calm down and nodded, saying, "Hmm, you go freshen up first. Change your clothes. Remember not to let the wound come into contact with water. After you're done, I'll go."
Jason's expression froze for a moment, then his eyes flickered with a meaning that was hard to decipher as he said, "If I wash up... I might need your help with undressing."
Aletta was taken aback for a moment, unable to react immediately.
Jason moved his injured left arm slightly and explained, "I might not be able to raise my shoulder on this side, it hurts a lot. Eator has already left to deal with the attack incident, and there's no one to help me."
He had made it clear with his words, and Aletta had nothing to say.
He was injured for her sake, so it was only natural for her to help.
However, the thought of helping him undress made her ears inexplicably warm.
She pursed her lips and took a step forward, saying, "Alright, I'll help you."
Jason seemed surprised that Aletta would agree.
But since it had come to this point, if he refused, he wouldn't be much of a man!
"Then let's get started."
He lifted his slightly raised uninjured arm, waiting for her to assist.
Aletta couldn't help but find it amusing to see the way he acted as if he could do whatever she pleased.
Suppressing her heated face, she helped him unbutton his shirt...
Jason lowered his gaze, fixated on her.
Her every move was unusually obedient, making him have the urge to pull her into his arms.
But in the end, he restrained himself. Afraid of scaring her away.
Soon, Aletta unbuttoned all the buttons.
The shirt revealed the man's well-built chest.
Aletta dared not look at it and quickened her pace, helping him take off his clothes.
After finishing, she quietly let out a breath.
"Done."
She put the clothes down, turned her head away. Refusing to look at him.
"Hmm."
Jason nodded but didn't make any moves.
Wasn't the clothing already removed?
Why wasn't he going to take a shower?
Jason noticed her confusion and reminded her, "Is it done?"
As he spoke, his gaze flickered towards his pants.
Aletta saw this and couldn't hide the blush that quickly surfaced on her face.
She shyly said, "You can handle that on your own!"
Saying that, she even took three steps back.
He only injured one arm, and his other hand was perfectly capable of removing his pants!
Jason looked at her slightly panicked expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
This little woman was too easy to tease.
Aletta heard the laughter and, despite not fully understanding. Realized that she had been played.
She glared at him in annoyance.
Jason quickly suppressed his laughter and said, "Seeing your expression, I couldn't help but tease you. Alright, I'll go take a shower. Just wait patiently for me to come out."
After speaking, he raised his leg and walked towards the bathroom.
After being tossed around by him like that, Aletta's worries from when she entered the room had long dissipated.
Twenty minutes later, Jason finished his shower and came out of the bathroom.
Aletta heard a noise and turned to look.
Despite Jason's efforts to avoid it, the bandage accidentally touched the water.
Aletta didn't say anything and stood up to get the first aid kit. She said, "Come over here and have a seat. I'll rebandage it for you."
Jason walked over and sat next to her, cooperating.
Soon, Aletta removed the bandage. Then proceeded to disinfect and apply medication.
During the process, her movements unconsciously slowed down. Hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question that had been on her mind all night, "Why did you rush over at that moment?"
Recalling the situation at that time, her brows furrowed. "It was a critical situation. If the bullet had deviated, you might have lost your life."
Jason turned his face to look at her and replied almost without thinking, "I didn't think that much. If I have to say, it's because I didn't want anything to happen to you."
Jason hadn't even realized it himself. But at that moment, he became aware that the person in front of him had already taken root in his heart and was even more important than he had imagined.
Aletta's heart was moved by his words, and she tried to say something. But her throat felt tight.
Jason seemed to understand her emotions and confessed, "You might not believe it, but the significance you hold in my heart has surpassed even myself."
"Before, there were many times when I failed to protect you. But from now on, I won't let that happen. I will make an even greate effort to protect you."
He stared into Aletta's eyes with a determined look.
Aletta listened to the man speaking calmly but with the most. heartfelt words, remaining silent for a long time.
Could she really trust him?
After a while, she sighed as if she had resigned herself and lowered her head. "You're really overbearing! In the past, you ignored me, didn't like me, and even rejected me. I couldn't hate you for that. And now, you're freely getting close to me."
"You must know that I can't harden my heart towards you, so you take advantage of it fearlessly!"
Upon hearing her words, Jason's spirit lifted.
Her words seemed to imply that she was willing to accept him, right?
Without hesitation, he earnestly replied, "I actually worried that you might have completely forgotten about me, so I prepared myself to spend a long time convincing you. But the truth has proven that persistence was the right choice."
He grasped the hand that Aletta was using to bandage him.
Her hand was small and slightly cold at the fingertips.
He held it tightly and gently coaxed, "I was wrong before. Don't hold it against me. From now on, I won't let you go. Can you
accept that?"
Aletta's heart skipped a beat, and the hand he held unconsciously tightened.
The words "I won't let you go" had a profound impact on her.
Ever since she was recognized as part of the Rogers Family, it seemed like she had always been abandoned.
Her adoptive parents didn't want her, and her biological parents didn't either.
Later, even he didn't want her...
She had experienced the pain of being abandoned. So naturally, there were deep concerns and defenses within her.
That's why she had been hesitant to accept him.
But now, she knew she couldn't resist him.
After he said those words, Aletta couldn't deceive herself anymore.
She lowered her gaze as if it took her a long time to find her voice and softly replied, "Mm."
Jason's expression rarely showed joy, but his tone was cautious as he asked, "So... you're willing to be with me?"
Aletta glanced at him, then looked away and nodded softly, "Mm."
Jason's gaze deepened, and he immediately reached out and pulled Aletta into his arms.
Aletta was caught off guard by his sudden action and lost her balance, ending up sitting on his lap.
"What are you doing?"
Aletta exclaimed in surprise and then became worried. "You hurt yourself... it touched..."
Her face was filled with concern.
However, Jason didn't mind at all. Joy was evident in the corners of his eyes and mouth.
"It's fine. It doesn't hurt. There's something important to do now."
Aletta was taken aback before she could even ask what was so important. Suddenly, the handsome face in front of her
magnified.
The next second, she found herself being kissed without anywhere to escape.
