Worried that Jasmine would be stalked by paparazzi, Edward suggested that Jasmine leave by his alphard first, and himself do the shuttle service.
At first, Jasmine turned it down, for she did not want to have any contact with him any more. Although he had done her a big favor, she could make it up to him in other ways. However, she compromised due to Edward’s strong attitude and Brad’s persuasion at last.
In the alphard, for the sake of no obvious reason, Brad, who used to sit in the back seat, jumped into the front passenger seat this time. Therefore, Edward and Jasmine together sat in the back embarrassedly.
Edward turned his head and looked at Jasmine now and then, trying to say something out but bit it back due to hesitation. Finally, he made up his mind and decided to ask.
"Before... The reporters said you went to hospital for examination in gynaecology and obstetrics. Is it true?" Asked Edward. He was a little nervous, but Jasmine had no ideal why he was nervous at all.
"Yeah, I did go to the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Department. Is there any problem?" She didn’t think it was a big deal to accompany her bestie to hospital, and had no ideal why Edward was nervous.
"I hope you can understand me." He organized language in his mind, and continued to say, "We both are still young, and our careers are on an upswing. Besides, we didn’t even get a marriage license... Oh, I mean... It’s too early to have a baby. Baby can wait."
Jasmine felt the words of Edward in her mind. It took a while to understand what Edward meant. It turned out that he thought she had gotten pregnant with his child, and wanted her to get abortion.
"Oh! Impossible!" Jasmine thought. She was not raring to retort that she did not get pregnant, for it had driven her mad that Edward suggested she get abortion. Not until then did she fully understand how Jenny felt. Even she didn’t get pregnant right now, she would burst into rage at the bare thought that someone would hurt her baby.
"What the hell do you mean? You wanna me to get abortion, right? Edward, I’m telling you, no matter whether I got pregnant or not, my baby has nothing to do with you!"
Jasmine was almost driven mad by Edward. She didn’t expect that he was such a person who could brutally take his own child’s life! At this moment, she had totally forgotten that actually she didn’t get pregnant at all.
"Why the hell does the baby have nothing to do with me? It was your first time to have sex, and I am the only man having sex with you. Of course the baby is mine! I didn’t ask you to get abortion. I mean it is not the right time to have a baby now!"
Edward was not a man with sweet temper. Retorted upon by Jasmine, he felt embarrassed, and spoke emotionally.
Jasmine gave a brittle laugh and said, "Humph! It is not the right time to have a baby, which means I should have an abortion, right? Edward, I didn’t expect that you are so selfish! I’m telling you, and listen carefully! It was not my first time to have sex, and you just broke my fake hymen that night! The baby has nothing to do with you at all! The baby has been two-month-old. Just think about it, how long have we known each other?"
Jasmine was so flustered and exasperated that she spoke without careful diction. What she spoke did not come from the heart and she was just intended to piss Edward off. However, what she said was not exactly false. Indeed, Jenny had been pregnant for more than two months, and the baby had nothing to do with Edward at all.
"You, you..." Edward raised his hand and was prepared to give her a slap. Not dodging, Jasmine craned her neck.
Somehow, Edward was frozen and his hand was unmoved. He put his hand down indignantly, opened shelves between the front seat and the back, looking like a thundercloud, and asked the driver to stop the car.
When the car stopped, Edward pulled Jasmine out of the car. However, he felt relieved only after confirming that it was a crowded place and it was easy to grab a taxi. Realizing he cared about Jasmine so much, Edward disgusted himself.
"Jasmine, you walk back home!" Said Edward. He got on the car, asked the driver to move, and was regardless of Jasmine, who was cursing behind the car.
"Edward! You ass hole. How could you treat a lady like that? You are such a prick!" Jasmine cursed. She gave full vent to her anger, and found that Edward really wouldn’t come back. Somehow, she had a sense of loss.
Slapping her face lightly, trying to get rid of strange feelings, Jasmine walked toward home alone and miserably. "Jenny is pregnant, I have to go back and take care of her, and can’t waste time on Edward." She thought.
On the other hand, seeing Edward kicking Jasmine out of the car, Brad turned around and asked, "Edward, what is going on between you? Why did you kick her out? You were just fine while getting on the car."
Edward had a little regret then. Thinking that Jasmine was pregnant and he had treated her so rudely, he was afraid whether the fetus would be impaired.
"I did not know what was going on with myself, either. I didn’t say that I didn’t want the baby." Said Edward. "I just said it was not the right time to have a baby now euphemistically. I didn’t expect she would overreact. Seeing her bad attitude and misunderstanding of me, I burst into rage and pulled her out of the car."
Brad was a bit speechless and looked at Edward. He really had nothing to say about his best friend, who had a quick temper. If those girls obsessed with Edward found out his true character, they wouldn’t believe it.
"So, you quarreled with Jasmine because of this, and left a pregnant woman on the street?" Asked Brad. He looked down upon Edward, who was a few bricks short of a load. However, it could not be read off his face.
Edward was choked, "I did not wanna do it, either. I was driven mad by her at the moment. She dared to say I am not her first man, and the baby had nothing to do with me. As a man, it was unbearable!" Edward was a face-saving man, and Jasmine’s not showing due respect to him made him embarrassed.
"They say Edward is a genius. I think you are only a genius in performance skills. It is obvious that Jasmine was in a fit of pique because of your strong attitude. As a man, you should have humoured her pleasure to talk with her. Then she would have listened carefully to you after she cooled down." Said Brad.
Although Brad was rather speechless about Edward, he analyzed the cause for him carefully. Except being able to accurately grasp emotions of characters while playing, Edward, his best friend, was rather blunt about love.
"So, what do I do now?" Edward had no ideal.
"What do you do? Go back for her!" Brad was really speechless. "Why is he so blunt about love? It is still a long way to go for him to win the heart of a woman."
