Chapter 677: You Had a Crush on the Girl

If the girl can easily arouse him, it means she is pretty or has a good figure, or that she is his type.

However, he just restrained his desire and stopped because she cried. Now he doesn't know how to
explain it.

He feels rather uncomfortable. A man can't bear to suddenly stop halfway.

However, Pehry can't ignore her feelings. He doesn't want to force her into it.

After a while, he stands up and curses angrily, "Damn it!"

Jasmine immediately pulls the quilt to cover her body. She is naked.

As covered by the quilt, she feels a sense of security.

Jasmine thinks Pehry is going to scold her, but he doesn't say anything and angrily walks towards the
bathroom.

The door is shut. A few seconds later, she hears the sound of running water. He is taking a shower.

Jasmine heaves a sigh of relief. She quickly gets up and puts on her clothes. She checks the time. It's
already 2:30 in the morning. It's dark outside the window, as gloomy as her mind.

It was so stupid.

She made that decision in a daze. If he doesn't have mercy on her, she is finished tonight.

Thinking of this, Jasmine is still frightened.

Impulse is a devil. It's absolutely right. To play tricks on him, she nearly loses her virginity. What if
Pehry refuses to let her go after they sleep together?



She will end up at loss.

Jasmine is lucid now and realizes what is going on, but just now, she was too dizzy to tell what was
happening.

Fortunately, he stopped before it happened.

However, Jasmine wonders why he managed to stop. He looked so uncomfortable.

Is she unattractive?

Perhaps! She can think of nothing but this reason.

...

When Jasmine is wondering, Pehry turns the shower head and stands in the corner with his phone in
hand.

He finds Karl's number on the contacts and calls him. After a while, Karl answers the phone.

"Hello?" Karl is sleeping. He finally managed to return home to get rest. "What happened?"

"It's me. Pehry!"

"I know it's you," Karl is a little angry to be woken up. "I said, what happened?"

"Karl, I want to ask you something." Pehry looks at the door and lowers his voice, "I mean, if you had
feelings for a woman, but you failed to sleep with her. Why?"

"..." Karl is silent for a long time. Finally, he grits his teeth and says, "You woke me up at midnight for
this stupid question?"



"It's not stupid. This is very important to me right now, okay?"

Karl sighs and explains to him with his eyes closed, "There are two possibilities. One is that you are
affected by the environment, and the other is that you are not good enough."

...

Not good enough?

That's impossible. He has confidence in that.

Affected by the environment?

Is it because Jasmine was crying?

"She cried. But I'm not a soft-hearted person, am I?" Pehry is so puzzled because it's not his style.

As a bystander, Karl has seen though him and asks, "She is the girl that showed up at the end of Rex's
wedding banquet, right?"

Pehry is shocked, "How did you know?"

"It's too obvious. Who else have you brought to us over these years?"

Pehry thinks for a moment and finds it true, but...

"I didn't think too much about it that day. I just asked her to pick me up. It's not like what you guys
think."

Karl is amused and sneers. His friends are all fools when they fall in love. "You think she is nice, don't
you? Otherwise, you won't allow us to meet her. Think about the female artists in your club and
company. Is there anyone you would like to introduce to us?"



Pehry doesn't realize it until he analyses. And he feels that Karl is right.

He is not a casual person, and he only brings significant people to his friends.

Pehry is even more confused. He asks Karl irritably, "Then what do you think is going on with me?"

"What's going on?" Karl can't help shaking his head, though Pehry can't see it. "You had a crush on the
girl, and you refuse to admit it!"

"No way!" Pehry retorts without thinking. It's a bit loud, so he hurriedly lowers his voice, "Will I like a
woman who has nothing?"

"What do you mean by nothing? The girl is young and pretty. She's too good for a man at your age,
isn't she?"

"At my age? I'm still young and strong!" Pehry defends himself angrily. Then he gets back to the main
topic, "Besides, how could I fall for her? Absolutely not!"

"It's impossible for you to bring her home at midnight and do nothing. You said that you didn't sleep with
her because she cried. It's because you care about her feelings, isn't it?" Karl hits the nail on the head.
He won't give Pehry any chance to make an excuse. "If you really don't care, why did you bring her
home? And even if she cried, you still could have continued."

Pehry wants to refute, but his throat seems to be pinched, and he couldn't make any sound.

What is going on? He doesn't know how to refute what Karl said.

Karl continues, "Alright, you will admit it one day. We'll see. Anyway, if you really like her, you should
get serious. Don't play your old tricks. It won't work on a good girl like her. Don't scare her away and
then regret. You know what Rex did before, didn't you? Don't do that."



Pehry knows that Karl is concerned about him, but he is still annoyed, "I'll tell Rex that you said bad
things about him behind his back."

Karl is amused by his childish threat, "Alright, then I'll tell everyone that you failed to stand up tonight."

Pehry, "Who failed? Karl, why are you so mean?"

"I haven't had a good sleep in the past month. And I finally went home today to get rest. But I was
woken up by your call. Now please tell me-why am I so mean?" Karl snorts, "Goodbye!"

The phone screen shows that the call is ended. Pehry puts the phone beside the wash basin, his hands
on both sides. Looking at the marble pattern, he feels dizzy.

What Karl said echoes in his ears. And every time it repeats, he gets more panicked.

Is he really tempted by Jasmine?
