She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 315

However, all the dishes were served, and Rowan still hadn't arrived.

Wesley finished a phone call and walked over. "Ms. Ford, Mr. Jameson has a last-minute matter to attend to. He requested that you start eating without him."

"It's fine. I can wait." Jasmine sat quietly, unable to hide the eager anticipation in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Wesley made another call, and Rowan arrived shortly after.

Before even offering a greeting, he sat down and said, "Let's break up."

The words felt like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing all of Jasmine's joy. "What did you say?"

"We're done."

Jasmine froze in place, a sharp pain piercing her chest. It took her a long time to find her voice, and when she did, it trembled. "I don't agree to this."

Rowan looked up at her words. "Does a breakup require your consent?"

Jasmine's fingers tightened abruptly. She forced herself to suppress the surging panic in her eyes.

She stared at him in disbelief, her voice quivering with a hint of desperate pleading.

"Rowan, what are you talking about? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?"

"My family doesn't approve," Rowan answered bluntly.

Jasmine shook her head vigorously, refusing to accept such a flimsy excuse.

She knew better than anyone that his parents could never control him. Ever since the engagement fiasco, Victoria and her husband had indeed been displeased with her. But in the past, whenever Rowan dug his heels in, absolutely no one could sway his decisions.

Why would it be any different now?

"Why? You used to treat me so well. Couldn't you do this for me just this once..."

Rowan's tone was flat. "I was mistaken in the past."

It was a stalling tactic.

"Give me six months! Don't make it public yet. My company hasn't stabilized. Wait until my business has a solid foundation, and then we can announce the breakup. Can you do that? Rowan, please."

She was terrified he would announce it to the world, just like he had when he forced her to resign.

Rowan remained silent for a moment. Thinking that she could still be of use, he agreed. "Fine."

Jasmine lowered her eyes, hiding her tumultuous emotions.

He still couldn't bring himself to be entirely heartless toward her.

Six months was a long time.

Jasmine believed that if she just had these six months, she could bridge the gap between them, slowly warm his heart again, and win him back completely.
